Musnad Ahmad 22163

Translation

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a gathering when a man came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense punishable by a prescribed punishment, so carry out on me the Book of Allah." He said: Then the prayer was announced, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer. When he finished, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed, and the man followed him, and I followed him. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense punishable by a prescribed punishment, so carry out on me the Book of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Did you not leave your house, perform ablution and do it well, and pray with us?" The man said: "Indeed." He said: "Then Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forgiven you your offense, or your sin."

• Ibn Abī Ḥatim

  قلت لأبي رواه الأوزاعي عن شداد أبي عمار عن واثلة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأيهما أصح قال الأوزاعي أعلم به لأن شدادا دمشقي وقع إلى اليمامة والأوزاعي من أهل بلده والأوزاعي أفهم به وأهل اليمامة يروون عنه ثلاثة أحاديث يقولون عن شداد عن أبي أمامة أحدها هذا قلت والآخرين هما اللذان رواهما الأوزاعي قالا هذا سوى ذاك غير أن الوليد بن مسلم يحكي عن الأوزاعي عن شداد عن واثلة وروى عمر بن عبد الواحد عن الأوزاعي عن شداد عن أبي أمامة فقد اتفقت رواية عمر بن عبد الواحد عن الأوزاعي مع رواية عكرمة بن عمار والوليد بن مسلم كثير الوهم والذي عندي أن الحديث عن أبي أمامة أشبه وأن الوليد وهم في ذلك

  machine translationI said to my father: al-Awzāʿī narrated it from Shaddād Abū ʿAmmār, from Wāthilah, from the Prophet ﷺ. Which of the two is more correct? He said: Al-Awzāʿī knew it better, because Shaddād was a Damascene who moved to al-Yamāmah, while al-Awzāʿī was from his own country, and al-Awzāʿī understood it better. The people of al-Yamāmah narrate three hadiths from him, saying: from Shaddād, from Abū Umāmah; this is one of them. I said: And the other two are the ones that al-Awzāʿī narrated? They said: This one is separate from that one, except that al-Walīd b. Muslim relates from al-Awzāʿī, from Shaddād, from Wāthilah, while ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid narrated from al-Awzāʿī, from Shaddād, from Abū Umāmah. So the narration of ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid from al-Awzāʿī agrees with the narration of ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār. Al-Walīd b. Muslim made many errors (kathīr al-wahm), and in my view the hadith from Abū Umāmah is more likely correct, and al-Walīd was mistaken in that. Report a problem
