• ابن عبد الهادي الحنبلي

  قال ابن الجوزي وحديث حذيفة هذا ضعفه أحمد ثم هو محمول على حال الصحو لأنه لم يذكر فيه الغيم أو على ما إذا غم هلال رمضان وهلال شوال كما سبق قال في التنقيح وهذا وهم منه فإن أحمد إنما أراد أن الصحيح قول من قال عن رجل من أصحاب النبي عليه السلام وإن تسمية حذيفة وهم من جرير فظن ابن الجوزي أن هذا تضعيف من أحمد للحديث وأنه مرسل وليس هو بمرسل بل متصل إما عن حذيفة وإما عن رجل من أصحاب النبي عليه السلام وجهالة الصحابي غير قادحة في صحة الحديث قال وبالجملة فالحديث صحيح ورواته ثقات محتج بهم في الصحيح

  machine translationIbn al-Jawzī said: This ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah was graded weak (ḍaʿīf) by Aḥmad. It is then taken to refer to a clear sky, since it makes no mention of clouds, or to the case where the crescent of Ramaḍān and the crescent of Shawwāl were both obscured, as mentioned before. In al-Tanqīḥ it is said: This is a mistake on his part, for Aḥmad only meant that the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) view is that of those who said "from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ", and that naming Ḥudhayfah is an error from Jarīr. Ibn al-Jawzī thought this was Aḥmad declaring the ḥadīth weak and that it is disconnected (mursal). But it is not mursal; rather it is connected (muttaṣil), either from Ḥudhayfah or from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and the anonymity of a Companion does not harm the soundness of a ḥadīth. He said: In sum, the ḥadīth is sound (ṣaḥīḥ), and its narrators are trustworthy (thiqāt), relied upon in the Ṣaḥīḥ. Report a problem
