Sunan an-Nasa'i 3565

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Call (your children) by the names of the prophets. And the most beloved names to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, are 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman. Keep horses; wipe their forelocks and posteriors, and prepare them for Jihad, but do not prepare them to seek vengeance for people killed during the Jahiliyyah. You should seek out Kumait, horses with a white mark on the face and white feet, or red with a white mark on the face and white feet, or black with a white mark on the face and white feet.'"

• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  سمعت هذا الحديث من فضل الأعرج وفاتني من أحمد وأنكرته في نفسي وكان يقع في قلبي أنه أبو وهب الكلاعي صاحب مكحول وكان أصحابنا يستغربون فلا يمكنني أن أقول شيء لما رواه أحمد ثم قدمت حمص فإذا قد حدثنا ابن المصفى عن أبي المغيرة قال حدثني محمد بن مهاجر قال حدثني عقيل بن سعيد عن أبي وهب الكلاعي قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأخبرنا أبو محمد قال وحدثنا به أبي مرة أخرى قال حدثنا هشام بن عمار عن يحيى بن حمزة عن أبي وهب عن سليمان بن موسى قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فعلمت أن ذاك باطل وعلمت أن إنكاري كان صحيحا وأبو وهب الكلاعي هو صاحب مكحول الذي يروي عن مكحول واسمه عبيد الله بن عبيد وهو دون التابعين يروي عن التابعين وضربه مثل الأوزاعي ونحوه فبقيت متعجبا من أحمد بن حنبل كيف خفي عليه فإني أنكرته حين سمعت به قبل أن أقف عليه وعقيل بن سعيد أو عقيل بن شبيب مجهول لا أعرفه

  machine translationI heard this hadith from Faḍl al-Aʿraj, and I had missed it from Aḥmad, and I rejected it in myself. It kept occurring to my heart that he was Abū Wahb al-Kalāʿī, the companion of Makḥūl. Our companions found it strange, and I could not say anything because Aḥmad had narrated it. Then I came to Ḥimṣ, and Ibn al-Muṣaffā narrated to us from Abū al-Mughīrah, who said: Muḥammad b. Muhājir narrated to me, he said: ʿAqīl b. Saʿīd narrated to me, from Abū Wahb al-Kalāʿī, who said: The Prophet ﷺ said... And Abū Muḥammad informed us, he said: My father also narrated it to us another time, he said: Hishām b. ʿAmmār narrated to us from Yaḥyā b. Ḥamzah, from Abū Wahb, from Sulaymān b. Mūsā, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said... So I knew that it was false and that my rejection had been correct. Abū Wahb al-Kalāʿī is the companion of Makḥūl who narrates from Makḥūl, and his name is ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUbayd. He is below the Successors (tābiʿūn), narrating from the Successors, and he is of the rank of al-Awzāʿī and the like. So I remained amazed at Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, how this was hidden from him, for I rejected it when I heard of it, before I had examined it. And ʿAqīl b. Saʿīd, or ʿAqīl b. Shabīb, is unknown (majhūl); I do not know him. Report a problem
