Notes
هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَعِيرِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَبَاعَ بَعِيرَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاشْتَرَطَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ جَابِرٌ لَيْلَةَ بِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْبَعِيرَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً وَكَانَ جَابِرٌ قَدْ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ بَنَاتٍ فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَعُولُهُنَّ وَيُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبَرُّ جَابِرًا وَيَرْحَمُهُ لِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا رُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ نَحْوُ هَذَا
machine translationThis is a good (ḥasan), sound (ṣaḥīḥ), unfamiliar (gharīb) hadith. The meaning of his saying "the night of the camel" is what has been narrated from Jābir through more than one route: that he was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and he sold his camel to the Prophet ﷺ and stipulated its back (for riding) to Medina. Jābir says: "The night I sold the camel to the Prophet ﷺ, he asked forgiveness for me twenty-five times." Jābir's father, ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. Ḥarām, had been killed on the day of Uḥud and had left behind daughters, and Jābir used to support them and spend on them. The Prophet ﷺ used to treat Jābir with kindness and have mercy on him because of that. Thus it has been narrated in a hadith from Jābir, something like this.
