Musnad al-Bazzar 112

Translation

✧ We were with Abu Bakr ؓ when he asked for a drink, and water and honey were brought to him. When he placed it in his hand, he wept and sobbed until we thought something had happened to him, and we did not ask him about anything. When he finished, we said: O successor of the Messenger of God ﷺ, what made you weep? He said: While I was with the Messenger of God ﷺ, I saw him pushing something away from himself while I saw nothing. I said: O Messenger of God, what is it that I saw you pushing away from yourself while I saw nothing? He said: The world extended itself to me, and I said: Away from me! And it said: Indeed you will not catch me. That distressed me, and I feared that I had opposed the command of the Messenger of God ﷺ and the world had caught up with me.

  وهذا الحديث لا نعلمه يروى عن رسول الله إلا من هذا الوجه ولا نعلم رواه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا أبو بكر ولا عن أبي بكر إلا زيد بن أرقم ولا عن زيد إلا مرة ولا عن مرة إلا أسلم الكوفي وأسلم رجل ليس بمعروف لا نعلم روى عنه إلا عبد الواحد بن زيد وعبد الواحد بن زيد لم يكن بقوي في الحديث وكان رجلا متعبدا من أهل البصرة لم يكن عند أهل العلم بالحافظ وإنما ذكرنا هذا الحديث على ما فيه من علة لأنا لم نجد له عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم طريقا يروى عنه إلا من هذا الوجه فلذلك كتبناه

  machine translationWe do not know this hadith to be narrated from the Messenger of Allah except through this route. We do not know that anyone narrated it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except Abū Bakr, nor from Abū Bakr except Zayd b. Arqam, nor from Zayd except Murrah, nor from Murrah except Aslam al-Kūfī. Aslam is an unknown man (ghayr maʿrūf); we do not know anyone who narrated from him except ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Zayd. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Zayd was not strong in hadith; he was a devout worshipper from the people of Basra, and was not a memorizer (ḥāfiẓ) according to the people of knowledge. We mentioned this hadith despite the defect in it because we did not find any route for it from the Prophet ﷺ except this one, and for that reason we wrote it down. Report a problem
