Musnad Ahmad 26893

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her and called for a drink and drank, then he handed it to her and she drank, and she said: O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The voluntary faster is the master of his own affair; if he wishes he fasts, and if he wishes he breaks his fast.

Notes

• قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ سَمِعْتَهُ أَنْتَ مِنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ؟ قَالَ لَا حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو صَالِحٍ وَأَهْلُنَا عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ سِمَاكًا يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنَا أُمِّ هَانِئٍ فَأَتَيْتُ أَنَا خَيْرَهُمَا وَأَفْضَلَهُمَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ جَعْدَةُ

• Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī

  هذا الحديث فيه اضطراب متنا وسندا وأما اضطراب سنده فاختلف سماك فيه فتارة رواه عن أبي صالح وتارة عن جعدة وتارة عن هارون أما أبو صالح فهو باذان ويقال باذام ضعفوه

  machine translationThis hadith has inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in both its text and its chain. As for the inconsistency of its chain, Simāk differed about it: at times he narrated it from Abū Ṣāliḥ, at times from Jaʿdah, and at times from Hārūn. As for Abū Ṣāliḥ, he is Bādhān, also called Bādhām; they declared him weak (ḍaʿīf). Report a problem
