أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الزَّاهِدُ ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيِّ بْنِ رُسْتُمٍ ثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ أَفْضَلُ إِيمَانًا؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ؟ قَالَ «هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَالْأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَالرِّسَالَةِ؟ قَالَ «هُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ» قَالَ قُلْنَا فَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَقْوَامٌ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي فِي أَصْلَابِ الرِّجَالِ فَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي وَيَجِدُونَ الْوَرَقَ الْمُعَلَّقَ فَيَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا فِيهِ فَهَؤُلَاءِ أَفْضَلُ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ إِيمَانًا»

✧ I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know which of the people of faith are most excellent in faith?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, the angels?" He said, "They are so, and that is rightfully theirs—and what would prevent them, since Allah has placed them in the station He has placed them in? Rather, it is others." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, then the prophets whom Allah, Exalted is He, honored with prophethood and messengership?" He said, "They are so, and that is rightfully theirs—and what would prevent them, since Allah has placed them in the station He has placed them in? Rather, it is others." He said, so we said, "Then who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Peoples who will come after me in the loins of men, who will believe in me without having seen me and will find the suspended pages and act according to what is in them. These are the most excellent of the people of faith in faith."

    وحديث المنهال بن بحر عن هشام الدستوائي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه عن عمر إنما يرويه الحفاظ الثقات عن هشام عن يحيى عن زيد بن أسلم عن عمر مرسلا وإنما يعرف هذا الحديث من حديث محمد بن أبي حميد ومحمد رجل من أهل المدينة ليس بقوي قد حدث عنه جماعة ثقات واحتملوا حديثه حدث بهذا الحديث عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه عن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وحدث أيضا بآخر لم يتابع عليه

    machine translationAs for the hadith of al-Minhāl b. Baḥr, from Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī, from Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr, from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, from ʿUmar: it is only narrated by the trustworthy memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) from Hishām, from Yaḥyā, from Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿUmar, as a mursal report. This hadith is only known from the hadith of Muḥammad b. Abī Ḥumayd, and Muḥammad is a man from the people of Madinah who is not strong (laysa bi-qawī). A group of trustworthy narrators narrated from him and tolerated his hadith. He narrated this hadith from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he also narrated another hadith in which he was not corroborated.
