Musnad Ahmad 2448

Translation

✧ Which of you saw the star that fell last night? I said: 'I did.' Then I said: 'Indeed, I was not praying, but I had been stung.' He said: 'And what did you do?' I said: 'I sought a cure by incantation.' He said: 'And what led you to do that?' I said: 'A hadith that al-Sha'bi narrated to us from Buraydah al-Aslami that he said: There is no incantation except for the evil eye or a sting.' Sa'id - meaning Ibn Jubayr - said: 'He did well who stuck to what he heard.' Then he said: 'Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ who said: The nations were shown to me. I saw a prophet with a small band, a prophet with one or two men, and a prophet with no one. Then a huge multitude was raised up for me, and I said: This is my ummah. But it was said: This is Musa and his people. Rather, look at the horizon. And there was a huge multitude. Then it was said to me: Look at the other side. And there was a huge multitude. It was said: This is your ummah, and with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment.' Then the Prophet ﷺ got up and went inside. The people began discussing that, saying: 'Who are these who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment?' Some said: 'Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ.' Others said: 'Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated anything with Allah.' And they mentioned other things. The Prophet ﷺ came out to them and said: 'What is this that you were discussing?' They told him what they had said. He said: 'They are those who do not cauterize, do not seek incantations, do not believe in omens, and put their trust in their Lord.' Then 'Ukkashah b. Mihsan al-Asadi stood up and said: 'Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'You are one of them.' Then another stood up and said: 'Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ''Ukkashah has beaten you to it.'

• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  شعبة أحفظهم وليس لما روى ابن الأصبهاني من ذكر أنس معنى لأن الحفاظ يرسلونه من حديث شريك إلا أن يكون هذا من شريك لأن ابن الأصبهاني كان متقنا

  machine translationShuʿbah is the most retentive (aḥfaẓ) of them, and there is no significance to what Ibn al-Aṣbahānī narrated in mentioning Anas, because the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) transmit it as a mursal report from the ḥadīth of Sharīk, unless this was from Sharīk himself, because Ibn al-Aṣbahānī was meticulous (mutqin).
