أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُخَرِّمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ ! حَدِّثْنِي أَعْجَبَ حَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: صَلَّى لَنَا - أَوْ صَلَّى بِنَا - رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ، فَقَالَ: " أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ ؟ " قُلْنَا: لَا، وَلَمْ يَشْهَدِ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: " أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ ؟ " قُلْنَا: لَا، وَلَمْ يَشْهَدِ الصَّلَاةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَثْقَلَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا، إِنَّ صَفَّ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَضِيلَتَهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ، وَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكَ مَعَ رَجُلٍ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ وَحْدَكَ، وَصَلَاتَكَ مَعَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ مَعَ رَجُلٍ، وَمَا [أَكْثَرْتَ] فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ

✧ I came to Madinah and met Ubayy b. Ka‘b. I said: O Abu al-Mundhir! Tell me the most amazing hadith you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer with us – or led us – then he turned and said: “Is so-and-so present?” We said: No, and he did not attend the prayer. He said: “Is so-and-so present?” We said: No, and he did not attend the prayer. Then he said: “The heaviest prayers upon the hypocrites are the ‘Isha prayer and the Fajr prayer. If they knew what is in them, they would come to them even if crawling. The first row is like the row of the angels, and if you knew its virtue you would race to it. Your prayer with one man is purer than your prayer alone, and your prayer with two men is purer than your prayer with one man, and the more [you increase], the more beloved it is to Allah.”

  • Ibn Khuzaymah

    صححه

    machine translationHe declared it sound (ṣaḥḥaḥahu).

    in صحيح ابن خزيمة, p. 1662
  • Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

    ليس بالقوي لا يحتج بمثله

    machine translationHe is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī); a report like his is not used as evidence.

    in صحيح ابن خزيمة, p. 1662
  • Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

    كان أبو إسحاق واسع الحديث يحتمل أن يكون سمع من أبي بصير وسمع من ابن أبي بصير عن أبي بصير وسمع من العيزار عن أبي بصير قال أبي سمعت سليمان بن حرب قال أخبرني وهب بن جرير قال قال شعبة أبو إسحاق قد سمع من عبد الله بن أبي بصير ومن أبي بصير كلاهما هذا الحديث

    machine translationAbū Isḥāq had a wide range of hadith. It is possible that he heard from Abū Baṣīr, that he heard from Ibn Abī Baṣīr from Abū Baṣīr, and that he heard from al-ʿAyzār from Abū Baṣīr. My father said: I heard Sulaymān b. Ḥarb say: Wahb b. Jarīr informed me, he said: Shuʿbah said: Abū Isḥāq heard this hadith from both ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Baṣīr and from Abū Baṣīr.

    in صحيح ابن خزيمة, p. 1662
  • Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

    واحتجوا بحديث أبي بصير عن أبي بن كعب مرفوعا بذلك وهو حديث ليس بالقوي

    machine translationThey used as evidence the hadith of Abū Baṣīr from Ubayy b. Kaʿb, raised to the Prophet (marfūʿ), to that effect, but it is a hadith that is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī).
