عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ مَنَاةَ. مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ. حَدَّثَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، وَخَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ. رَوَى عَنْهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُنَادِي. وَكَانَ قَدْ قَدِمَ بَغْدَادَ، وَوَلِيَ بِهَا قَضَاءَ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، وَوَلِيَ قَضَاءَ الْبَصْرَةِ [أَيْضًا]. قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ: حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ هَارُونَ [الرَّشِيدِ] فَجَرَتْ مَسْأَلَةٌ فَتَنَازَعَهَا الْخُصُومُ وَعَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ، وَاحْتَجَّ بَعْضُهُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ يَرْوِيهِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَدَفَعَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْحَدِيثَ، وَزَادَتِ الْمُدَافَعَةُ وَالْخِصَامُ حَتَّى قَالَ قَائِلُونَ مِنْهُمْ: لَا يُحْمَلُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ مُتَّهَمٌ فِيمَا يَرْوِيه، وَصَرَّحُوا بِتَكْذِيبِهِ، وَرَأَيْتُ الرَّشِيدَ قَدْ نَحَا نَحْوَهُمْ، وَنَصَرَ قَوْلَهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَ الْحَدِيثَ صَحِيحُ النَّقْلِ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَحِيحُ النَّقْلِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، صَدُوقٌ فِيمَا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَغَيْرِهِ . فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ الرَّشِيدُ نَظَرَ مُغْضِبٍ، فَقُمْتُ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي. فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ حَتَّى قِيلَ: صَاحِبُ الْبَرِيدِ بِالْبَابِ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: أَجِبْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِجَابَةَ مَقْتُولٍ، وَتَحَنَّطْ وَتَكَفَّنْ فَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي دَافَعْتُ عَنْ صَاحِبِ نَبِيِّكَ، وَأَجْلَلْتُ نَبِيَّكَ ﷺ، أَنْ يُطْعَنَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَسَلِّمْنِي مِنْهُ. فَأُدْخِلْتُ عَلَى الرَّشِيدِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ، حَاسِرٌ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، بِيَدِهِ السَّيْفُ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ النِّطْعُ، فَلَمَّا بَصَرَنِي قَالَ [لِي]: يَا عُمَرَ بْنَ حَبِيبٍ، مَا تَلَقَّانِي أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرَّدِّ وَالدِّفْعِ [لِقَوْلِي] بِمِثْلِ مَا تَلَقَّيْتِنِي بِهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ الَّذِي قُلْتَهُ وَجَادَلْتَ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ إِزْرَاءٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ [عَلَى مَا جَاءَ بِهِ]، إِذَا كَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ كَذَّابِينَ فَالشَّرِيعَةُ بَاطِلَةٌ، وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالْأَحْكَامُ فِي الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالطَّلَاقِ وَالنِّكَاحِ وَالْحُدُودِ كُلُّهُ مَرْدُودٌ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولٍ. فَرَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَحْيَيْتِنِي يَا عُمَرَ بْنَ حَبِيبٍ، أَحْيَاكَ اللَّهُ. وَأَمَرَ لِي بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ. قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ عَلَى قَضَاءِ الرَّصَافَةِ لِهَارُونَ الرَّشِيدِ، فَاسْتَعْدَى إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَأَعْدَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَبَى عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ أَنْ يَحْضُرَ مَجْلِسَ الْحُكْمِ، فَخَتَمَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ قَمْطَرَهُ وَقَعَدَ فِي بَيْتِهِ. فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى هَارُونَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا مَنْعَكَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ لِلْقَضَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ: أُعْدِيَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَلَمْ يَحْضُرْ مَجْلِسِي. قَالَ: وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ. فَقَالَ هَارُونُ: وَاللَّهِ لَا يَأْتِي مَجْلِسَكَ إِلَّا حَافِيًا قَالَ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا قَالَ: فَبُسِطَتْ [لَهُ] اللُّبُودُ مِنْ بَابِ قَصْرِهِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الرَّصَافَةِ، فَجَعَلَ يَمْشِي وَيَقُولُ: أَتْعَبَنِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَتْعَبَنِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَاوِيَهُ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ، فَصَاحَ [بِهِ] عُمَرُ وَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ مَعَ خَصْمِكَ. قَالَ: فَتَوَجَّهُ الْحُكْمُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ فَحَكَمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَسَجَّلَ بِهِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ: لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ عَلَيَّ بِحُكْمٍ لَا يُجَاوِزُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَمَّا إِنِّي قَدْ طَوَّقْتُكَ بِطَوْقٍ لَا يَفُكُّهُ عَنْكَ الْحَدَّادُونَ قُمْ. قَالَ الْخَطِيبُ: كَذَا ذُكِرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى الرَّصَافَةِ. وَالْمَحْفُوظُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى الشَّرْقِيَّةِ. تُوُفِّيَ عُمَرُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ. 1150 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ . مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي يُوسُفَ الْقَاضِي. وَلِيَ الْقَضَاءَ بِبَغْدَادَ أَيَّامَ الْمَأْمُونِ وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. 1151 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَبُو يَحْيَى الْأَسَدِيُّ. وَيَعْرِفُ بِابْنِ كُنَاسَةَ لُقِّبَ أَبِيهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ. وَمُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ: ابْنُ أُخْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَدْهَمَ. وَكَانَ عَالِمًا بِالشِّعْرِ وَالْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَأَيَّامِ النَّاسِ، وَرَدَ بَغْدَادَ، وَحَدَّثَ بِهَا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، وَالْأَعْمَشِ وَغَيْرِهِمَا. رَوَى عَنْهُ: أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَغَيْرُهُ. وَقَالَ يَحْيَى وَابْنُ الْمَدِينِيُّ: ابْنُ كُنَاسَةَ ثِقَةٌ . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: رَأَى رَجُلٌ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كُنَاسَةَ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ بَطْنَ شَاةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَعْطِنِي أَحْمِلُهُ لَكَ فَقَالَ: لَا يَنْقُصُ الْكَامِلَ مِنْ كَمَالِهِ مَا جَرَّ مِنْ نَفْعٍ إِلَى عِيَالِهِ. عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كُنَاسَةَ لِأَكْتُبَ عَنْهُ، فَكَثُرَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُ الْحَدِيثِ، فَضَجِرَ بِهِمْ وَتَجَهَّمَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ، فَهَشَّ إِلَيَّ وَاسْتَبْشَرَ بِي، وَبَسَطَ وَجْهَهُ، فَقَلَتْ لَهُ: لَقَدْ تَعَجَّبْتُ مِنْ تَفَاوُتِ حَالَتَيْكَ!؟ فَقَالَ لِي: أَضْجَرَنِي هَؤُلَاءِ بِسُوءِ أَدَبِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا جِئْتَنِي أَنْتَ انْبَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَقَدْ حَضَرَنِي فِي الْمَعْنَى بَيْتَانِ وَهُمَا: فِي انْقِبَاضٍ وَحِشْمَةٍ فَإِذَا صَادَفْتُ أَهْلَ الْوَقَارِ وَالْكَرَمِ أَرْسَلْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَى سَجِيَّتِهَا وَقُلْتُ مَا قُلْتُ غَيْرَ مُحْتَشِمِ فَقُلْتُ: لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ هَذَيْنَ الْبَيْتَيْنِ لِي بِنِصْفِ مَا أَمْلِكُ فَقَالَ: قَدْ وَفَّرَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكَ مَالَكَ، مَا سَمِعَهُمَا أَحَدٌ وَلَا قُلْتُهُمَا إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كَيْفَ لِي بِعِلْمِ نَفْسِي أَنَّهُمَا لَيْسَا لِي. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ: تُوُفِّيَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كُنَاسَةَ سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ وَمِائَتَيْنِ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ قَانِعٍ: سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ. وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the prominent people who died in this year 1145 - Ḥudhayfah b. Qatādah al-Marʿashī. He accompanied al-Thawrī, and he died in this year. Ḥudhayfah al-Marʿashī said: Beware of the gifts of the wicked and the foolish, for if you accept them, they will think that you are pleased with their actions. 1146 - Zayd b. Muḥammad b. ʿUbayd, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Khuzāʿī al-Dimashqī. He heard Mālik b. Anas. Narrated from him: Ibn ʿAwf, Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, and Abū Khaythamah. He was trustworthy and reliable. He died in this year in Damascus. 1147 - ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ghazwān, Abū Nūḥ ʿAbd Allāh b. Mālik al-Khuzāʿī, known as Qurād. He heard Shuʿbah, ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār, and al-Layth b. Saʿd. Narrated from him Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal. He was trustworthy. He died in this year. 1148 - ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb al-ʿAdawī. From Banū ʿAdī b. Manāh, from the people of Baṣrah. He reported from Dāwūd b. Abī Hind, Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, Sulaymān al-Taymī, and Hishām b. ʿUrwah. Narrated from him Muḥammad b. ʿUbayd Allāh al-Munādī. He had come to Baghdad and held the judgeship of the Eastern Quarter there, and he also held the judgeship of Baṣrah. ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb said: I attended the assembly of Hārūn al-Rashīd when an issue was raised and the disputants argued over it, their voices rising. Some of them used as evidence a ḥadīth narrated by Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet ﷺ, but others rejected the ḥadīth. The rejection and argument increased until some of them said: This ḥadīth cannot be transmitted from the Messenger of God ﷺ, for Abū Hurayrah is suspect in what he narrates. They explicitly called him a liar. I saw al-Rashīd incline toward them and support their words. So I said: The ḥadīth has a sound transmission, and Abū Hurayrah has a sound transmission from the Messenger of God ﷺ; he is truthful in what he narrates from the Prophet of God and others. Al-Rashīd looked at me with an angry look, so I rose from the assembly and returned to my home. I had not tarried long before it was said: The courier official is at the door. He entered and said: Answer the Commander of the Faithful as one who is to be killed; embalm yourself and shroud yourself. I said: O God, You know that I defended the companion of Your Prophet and honored Your Prophet ﷺ so that his companions would not be maligned. So save me from him. I was brought before al-Rashīd while he was seated on a chair, his forearms bared, a sword in his hand, and the leather execution mat before him. When he saw me he said: O ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb, no one has met me with contradiction and opposition to my words as you have. I said: O Commander of the Faithful, what you said and argued against me disparages the Messenger of God ﷺ and what he brought. If his companions were liars, then the religious law is invalid, and the obligations and rulings concerning fasting, prayer, divorce, marriage, and the prescribed punishments are all rejected and unacceptable. He reflected, then said: You have revived me, O ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb, may God revive you. And he ordered for me ten thousand dirhams. Al-Ḥusayn b. Shaddād said: ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb was over the judgeship of al-Ruṣāfah for Hārūn al-Rashīd. A man brought a complaint to him against ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī, so he summoned him. But ʿAbd al-Ṣamad refused to attend the court session. So ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb sealed his document chest and sat in his house. This was reported to Hārūn, who sent for him and said: What prevented you from holding court? He replied: I summoned a man, and he did not attend my session. He asked: Who is he? He said: ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī. Hārūn said: By God, he will not come to your session except barefoot. He said: ʿAbd al-Ṣamad was a very old man. He said: Felt mats were spread for him from the gate of his palace to the mosque of al-Ruṣāfah, and he walked along saying: The Commander of the Faithful has exhausted me, the Commander of the Faithful has exhausted me. When he reached the session of ʿUmar b. Ḥabīb, he wanted to sit equal with him in the assembly, but ʿUmar shouted at him and said: Sit with your adversary. He said: The case proceeded against ʿAbd al-Ṣamad, and he ruled against him and recorded it. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said to him: You have ruled against me with a judgment that will not pass beyond the lobe of your ear. ʿUmar replied: I have placed around your neck a collar that blacksmiths cannot remove from you. Stand. Al-Khaṭīb said: Thus it is mentioned in this account that he was over al-Ruṣāfah. But the well-known fact is that he was over the Eastern Quarter. ʿUmar died in this year after returning to Baṣrah. 1150 - Muḥammad b. Abī Rajāʾ al-Khurāsānī. One of the companions of Abū Yūsuf the judge. He held the judgeship of Baghdad during the days of al-Maʾmūn and died in Jumādā al-Ākhirah of this year. 1151 - Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā b. ʿAbd Allāh, Abū Yaḥyā al-Asadī, known as Ibn Kunāsah. His father ʿAbd Allāh was given that nickname. Muḥammad was the son of the sister of Ibrāhīm b. Adham. He was learned in poetry, Arabic, and the historical accounts of the people. He came to Baghdad and reported there from Hishām b. ʿUrwah, al-Aʿmash, and others. Narrated from him: Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal and others. Yaḥyā and Ibn al-Madīnī said: Ibn Kunāsah is trustworthy. ʿAbd Allāh b. Muḥammad said: A man saw Muḥammad b. Kunāsah carrying in his hand a sheep's belly, and said to him: Give it to me and I will carry it for you. He replied: It does not diminish the perfect one's perfection what he brings of benefit to his dependents. From Ḥammād b. Ibrāhīm, from his father, who said: I came to Muḥammad b. Kunāsah to write from him. The ḥadīth students crowded around him, and he grew annoyed with them and frowned at them. When they left, I approached him, and he was cheerful and delighted with me, and his face brightened. I said to him: I am amazed at the difference in your two states! He said to me: Those people annoyed me with their bad manners. When you came, I was pleased with you, and two verses occurred to me on the subject: In reticence and reserve, and when I meet people of dignity and generosity, I let my soul follow its natural disposition, and I say what I say without reserve. I said: I wish these two verses were mine for half of what I own. He said: May God spare you your wealth. No one has heard them, and I only composed them this hour. I said: How can I know for myself that they are not mine? Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥaḍramī said: Muḥammad b. Kunāsah died in the year 207. Ibn Qāniʿ said: In the year 209. The former is more correct.
