Musnad Ahmad 3930

Translation

✧ Al-'Aqib and al-Sayyid, the two leaders of Najran, came. He said: They wanted to invoke mutual curses with the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: One of them said to his companion: Do not invoke curses with him, for by God, if he is a prophet and we curse him—Khalaf said: and we invoke curses—we will never prosper, nor will our descendants ever. He said: So they came to him and said: We will not invoke curses with you, but we will give you what you asked, so send with us a trustworthy man. The Prophet ﷺ said: I will surely send a trustworthy man, truly trustworthy, truly trustworthy. He said: The companions of Muhammad craned their necks for it. He said: Then he said: Stand, O Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah. He said: When they turned away, he said: This is the trustworthy one of this ummah.

  machine translationShuʿbah narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from Ḥudhayfah. Muslim also recorded it for al-Thawrī from Abū Isḥāq in the same way. Isrāʾīl differed from the two of them, narrating it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd, but the statement of Isrāʾīl is not established. Report a problem

  يرويه إسرائيل عن أبي إسحاق عن صلة عن ابن مسعود وتابعه الثوري ورواه شعبة عن أبي إسحاق عن صلة عن حذيفة ويشبه أن يكون الصحيح حديث ابن مسعود

  machine translationIsrāʾīl narrates it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from Ibn Masʿūd, and al-Thawrī corroborated him. Shuʿbah narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah, from Ḥudhayfah. It seems that the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) report is the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd. Report a problem
