Hadith 3082

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لِابْنِ جَعْفَرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ تَذْكُرُ إِذْ تَلَقَّيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَحَمَلَنَا وَتَرَكَكَ .
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: Ibn Az-Zubair said to Ibn Ja`far "Do you remember when I, you and Ibn `Abbas went out to receive Allah's Apostle?" Ibn Ja`far replied in the affirmative. Ibn Az-Zubair added, "And Allah's Apostle made us (i.e. I and Ibn `Abbas) ride along with him and left you."

Hadith Commentary:
Hafiz Sahib (rahimahullah) states:
It is apparent that the one who was made to ride was Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu), and the one who was left aside was Ibn al-Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu).
However, in Sahih Muslim, the opposite is mentioned:
And Qadi Iyad (rahimahullah) has pointed out that the narration found in al-Bukhari is the correct one.
From this, it is established that it is permissible for those returning from jihad to be welcomed by others who go out to meet them.
Additionally, it is also established from this that special care should be shown to orphans.
Because Abdullah's (radi Allahu anhu) father, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (radi Allahu anhu), had passed away.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave precedence to the orphaned child, Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu), by making him ride in order to gladden his heart. If the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ever showed special favor to a Companion in any matter, then it is also established that it is permissible for that Companion to take pride in it. Even today, if a distinguished person shows favor to someone, it can be mentioned as a matter of pride.

Hadith Commentary:

It is understood from this hadith that welcoming someone returning from jihad, Hajj, or any other journey with happiness and joy is commendable.


From a narration in Sahih Muslim, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) seated Abdullah ibn Zubair (radi Allahu anhu) and Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) with him, and left out Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu).
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-‘Umrah, Hadith: 1798)
This is a mistake on the part of the narrator.
The hadith of Sahih Bukhari is more authoritative. Furthermore, according to another narration, Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) states that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrived in Makkah, the children of the family of Abdul Muttalib welcomed him.
He seated one in front of him and the other behind him.
(Sahih Muslim, Fada’il al-Sahabah, Hadith: 6266(2427))
From this, it is understood that Abdullah ibn Ja'far (radi Allahu anhu) was also mounted by him.
Ibn Ja'far is from the family of Abdul Muttalib.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: "Qut" refers to that amount of food which prevents a person from dying, that is, which maintains the connection between body and soul. From this hadith, it is understood that for scholars and callers to Islam (du‘at), the best situation is that Allah, the Exalted, grants them provision according to their needs, so that they are not dependent on anyone. However, they should avoid worldly formalities, adornments, luxuries, and extravagance, so that they become an example for others and for those with less wealth. They should not make the acquisition of more and more wealth their ultimate goal. But they should seek Allah’s refuge from such a life in which they are forced to be dependent on others, or have to resort to flattery and sycophancy of the wealthy, and have to run after them for their religious activities.
