حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِحَلْقَةِ الْبَابِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، مَنْ عَرَفَنِي فَقَدْ عَرَفَنِي، وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ أَنْكَرَ، أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِيكُمْ مَثَلُ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ، مَنْ دَخَلَهَا نَجَا، وَمَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا هَلَكَ

✧ I heard Abu Dharr ؓ while he was holding the door ring, saying: O people, whoever knows me, he knows me; and whoever does not know me, he does not know me. I am Abu Dharr. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The likeness of my household among you is like the ark of Nuh; whoever boards it is saved, and whoever stays behind from it perishes.

ولمفضل هذا غير ما ذكرت وكان سويد الأنباري يخطئ في اسم أبيه فيقول ابن عبد الله وهو ابن صالح وأنكر ما رأيت له حديث الحسن بن علي حيث قال له اكشف عن بطنك وسائره غير ذاك أرجو أن يكون مستقيما
machine translationThis Mufaḍḍal has other narrations besides what I mentioned. Suwayd al-Anbārī used to err in the name of his father, saying "Ibn ʿAbdullāh", when he is Ibn Ṣāliḥ. The most objectionable (munkar) thing I saw of his is the hadith of al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī, where he said to him: "Uncover your belly." The rest of his narrations are other than that; I hope that they are sound.
