Hadith 3417
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ نُسَيٍّ ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، نَحْوَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا تَرَى فِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : جَمْرَةٌ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ تَقَلَّدْتَهَا أَوْ تَعَلَّقْتَهَا .
A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Ubadah bin al-Samit through a different chain of narrators, but the former tradition is more perfect. This version has: I said: What do you think about it, Messenger of Allah? He said: A live coal between your shoulders which you have put around your neck or hanged it.
