حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ

لأَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ جَوْفُ أَحَدِكُمْ قَيْحًا حَتَّى يَرِيَهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ شِعْرًا

  • Dāraquṭnī

    يرويه شعبة عن قتادة عن يونس بن جبير عن محمد بن سعد عن أبيه سعد ورواه حماد بن سلمة عن قتادة عن عمر بن سعد عن سعد ووهم فيه والقول قول شعبة ومن تابعه عن قتادة وقال محمد بن خالد الوهبي عن زياد الجصاص عن قتادة عن محمد بن سعد عن سعد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقيل عن زياد الجصاص عن معاوية بن قرة عن محمد بن سعد عن سعد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحيح حديث شعبة

    machine translationShuʿbah narrates it from Qatādah, from Yūnus b. Jubayr, from Muḥammad b. Saʿd, from his father Saʿd. Ḥammād b. Salamah narrated it from Qatādah, from ʿUmar b. Saʿd, from Saʿd, and he was mistaken in it; the correct view is the view of Shuʿbah and those who followed him from Qatādah. Muḥammad b. Khālid al-Wahbī said, from Ziyād al-Jaṣṣāṣ, from Qatādah, from Muḥammad b. Saʿd, from Saʿd, from the Prophet ﷺ. It was also said, from Ziyād al-Jaṣṣāṣ, from Muʿāwiyah b. Qurrah, from Muḥammad b. Saʿd, from Saʿd, from the Prophet ﷺ. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version is the hadith of Shuʿbah.
