وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ
سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى شَهِدْنَا أَنْ تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُسْأَلُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى خَلَقَ آدَمَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ لِلنَّارِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَعْمَلُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلْجَنَّةِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلنَّارِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ النَّارَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysa that Abd al-Hamid ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab informed him from Muslim ibn Yasar al-Juhani that Umar ibn al-Khattab was asked about this ayat - "When your Lord took their progeny from the Banu Adam from their backs and made them testify against themselves. 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we bear witness' Lest you should say on the Day of Rising, 'We were heedless of that.'" (Sura 7 ayat 172) Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, created Adam. Then He stroked his back with His right hand, and progeny issued from it. He said, "I created these for the Garden and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Garden." Then He stroked his back again and brought forth progeny from him. He said, "I created these for the Fire and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Fire." 'A man said, 'Messenger of Allah! Then of what value are deeds?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ answered, 'When Allah creates a slave for the Garden, he makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Garden, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Garden and by it He brings him into the Garden. When He creates a slave for the Fire, He makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Fire, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Fire, and by it, He brings him into the Fire.' "

يرويه زيد بن أبي أنيسة عن عبد الحميد بن عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن الخطاب عن مسلم بن يسار عن نعيم بن ربيعة عن عمر حدث عنه كذلك يزيد بن سنان أبو فروة الرهاوي وجود إسناده ووصله وخالفه مالك بن أنس فرواه عن زيد بن أبي أنيسة ولم يذكر في الإسناد نعيم بن ربيعة وأرسله عن مسلم بن يسار عن عمر وحديث يزيد بن سنان متصل وهو أولى بالصواب والله أعلم وقد تابعه عمر بن جعثم فرواه عن زيد بن أبي أنيسة كذلك قاله بقية بن الوليد عنه
machine translationZayd b. Abī Unaysah narrates it from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Zayd b. al-Khaṭṭāb, from Muslim b. Yasār, from Nuʿaym b. Rabīʿah, from ʿUmar. Yazīd b. Sinān Abū Farwah al-Ruhāwī likewise related it from him, and he made its chain good and connected it. Mālik b. Anas differed from him and narrated it from Zayd b. Abī Unaysah without mentioning Nuʿaym b. Rabīʿah in the chain, and he transmitted it in mursal form from Muslim b. Yasār, from ʿUmar. The hadith of Yazīd b. Sinān is connected and is closer to correct, and God knows best. ʿUmar b. Jaʿtham followed him and narrated it from Zayd b. Abī Unaysah in the same way. Baqiyyah b. al-Walīd said this from him.

الظاهر أن الإمام مالكا إنما أسقط ذكر نعيم بن ربيعة عمدا لما جهل حال نعيم ولم يعرفه فإنه غير معروف إلا في هذا الحديث ولذلك يسقط ذكر جماعة ممن لا يرتضيهم ولهذا يرسل كثيرا من المرفوعات ويقطع كثيرا من الموصولات
machine translationIt appears that Imam Mālik deliberately omitted the mention of Nuʿaym b. Rabīʿah because he did not know Nuʿaym's condition and did not know him, for he is not known except in this hadith. For this reason he would omit a group of those with whom he was not satisfied, and therefore he often transmitted raised reports in mursal form and cut many connected chains.

وقد تابع عمر بن جعثم يزيد بن سنان أبو فروة الرهاوي وقولهما أولى بالصواب من قول مالك
machine translationʿUmar b. Jaʿtham was followed by Yazīd b. Sinān Abū Farwah al-Ruhāwī, and their statement is closer to correct than the statement of Mālik.
in موطأ مالك, p. 1574 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
وجملة القول في هذا الحديث أنه حديث ليس إسناده بالقائم لأن مسلم بن يسار ونعيم بن ربيعة جميعا غير معروفين بحمل العلم
machine translationThe sum of the matter regarding this hadith is that its chain is not sound, because Muslim b. Yasār and Nuʿaym b. Rabīʿah are both not known for carrying knowledge.
