• قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَغَيْرِهِمْ يَرَوْنَ الْجَزُورَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَالْبَقَرَةَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ الْبَقَرَةَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ وَالْجَزُورَ عَنْ عَشَرَةٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ إِسْحَاقَ وَاحْتَجَّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ وَاحِدٍ

  machine translationHe said: And on this topic there are narrations from Ibn ʿUmar, Abū Hurayrah, ʿĀʾishah and Ibn ʿAbbās. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Jābir is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, and the practice according to this is among the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They hold that a camel suffices for seven and a cow for seven. This is the view of Sufyān al-Thawrī, al-Shāfiʿī and Aḥmad. It has been narrated from Ibn ʿAbbās, from the Prophet ﷺ, that a cow suffices for seven and a camel for ten. This is the view of Isḥāq, and he used this hadith as evidence. As for the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās, we only know it through one route. Report a problem
