Hadith 4886
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : " أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ أَبِي ضَيْغَمٍ أَوْ ضَمْضَمٍ شَكَّ ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ كَانَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِعِرْضِي عَلَى عِبَادِكَ " .
Narrated Qatadah: Is one of you helpless to be like AbuDaygham or Damdam (Ibn Ubayd is doubtful) who would say when morning came: O Allah, I gave my honour as alms to Thy servants?
Hadith 4887
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ أَبِي ضَمْضَمٍ , قَالُوا : وَمَنْ أَبُو ضَمْضَمٍ ، قَالَ : رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِمَعْنَاهُ , قَالَ : عِرْضِي لِمَنْ شَتَمَنِي " , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد :رَوَاهُ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَمِّيِّ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ أَصَحُّ .
Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Ajlan reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Is one of you unable to be like Abu Damdam? The people asked: who is Abu Damdam? He replied: A man of old before you. He then mentioned the rest of tradition to the tradition to the same effect. This version has: who would say (in the morning): My honors is for the one who reviles me. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Hashim bin al-Qasim from Muhammad bin Adb Allah al-'Ammi from Thabit on the authority of Anas from Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: The tradition of Hammad (i. e. Abdur-Rahman's version) is sounder.
