حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِنَّ الإِيمَانَ لَيَأْرِزُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا

What scholars said about it

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    يرويه خبيب بن عبد الرحمن واختلف عنه فقال عبيد الله عن خبيب عن حفص بن عاصم عن أبي هريرة وحده عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقيل عن عبد الله العمري عن خبيب عن حفص بن عاصم عن أبي هريرة وأبي سعيد والصحيح الأول

    machine translationKhubayb b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. ʿUbayd Allāh said, from Khubayb, from Ḥafṣ b. ʿĀṣim, from Abū Hurayrah alone, from the Prophet ﷺ. And it was said, from ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿUmarī, from Khubayb, from Ḥafṣ b. ʿĀṣim, from Abū Hurayrah and Abū Saʿīd. And the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) one is the first.
