Musnad Ahmad 5096

Translation

✧ “Do I recite behind the imam?” He said: “The imam’s recitation suffices you.” I said: “The two rakʿahs of dawn, should I prolong the recitation in them?” He said: “The Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray the night prayer in pairs.” I said: “I only asked you about the two rakʿahs of dawn.” He said: “You are indeed thick! Do you not see that I am beginning the hadith: The Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray the night prayer in pairs, and when he feared the coming of dawn he would perform witr with one rakʿah, then place his head. If you wish say he slept, and if you wish say he did not sleep. Then he would rise to them with the call to prayer in his ears. So what prolongation could there be then?” I said: “A man bequeathed wealth for the cause of God; may it be spent on the ḥajj?” He said: “Indeed, if you did that it would be part of the cause of God.” He said: I said: “A man misses a rakʿah with the imam, and the imam says the salutation. Does he stand to make it up before the imam rises?” He said: “When the imam said the salutation, he would rise.” I said: “A man takes on a debt greater than his wealth.” He said: “Every treacherous one will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection at his backside according to the measure of his treachery.”

  يرويه أبو إسحاق الشيباني وعبد الله بن حبيب بن أبي ثابت واختلف عنهما فرواه أبو إسحاق الشيباني عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ووقفه عبد الله بن حبيب بن أبي ثابت ولم يرفعه ولم يسمع حبيب هذا الحديث من ابن عمر وإنما رواه عن طاوس عنه كذلك رواه منصور بن المعتمر ومسعر بن كدام وسفيان الثوري وفطر بن خليفة وحمزة الزيات رووه عن حبيب عن طاوس عن ابن عمر وهو صحيح عن حبيب عن طاوس وكذلك رواه سليمان التيمي عن طاوس عن ابن عمر وهو صحيح عنه أيضا

  machine translationAbū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī and ʿAbdullāh b. Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit narrate it, and there is disagreement about them. Abū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī narrated it from Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, while ʿAbdullāh b. Ḥabīb b. Abī Thābit made it a statement of the Companion (mawqūf) and did not raise it to the Prophet. Ḥabīb did not hear this hadith from Ibn ʿUmar; rather he narrated it from Ṭāwūs, from him. Likewise it was narrated by Manṣūr b. al-Muʿtamir, Misʿar b. Kidām, Sufyān al-Thawrī, Fiṭr b. Khalīfah and Ḥamzah al-Zayyāt: they narrated it from Ḥabīb, from Ṭāwūs, from Ibn ʿUmar, and it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) from Ḥabīb, from Ṭāwūs. Likewise Sulaymān al-Taymī narrated it from Ṭāwūs, from Ibn ʿUmar, and it is also sound from him. Report a problem
