Hadith 4326

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَبَا بَكْرَةَ ، وَكَانَ تَسَوَّرَ حِصْنَ الطَّائِفِ فِي أُنَاسٍ ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَا : سَمِعْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ " ، وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ : وَأَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، أَوْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا ، وَأَبَا بَكْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ عَاصِمٌ : قُلْتُ : لَقَدْ شَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلَانِ حَسْبُكَ بِهِمَا ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَالِثَ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ الطَّائِفِ .
Narrated Abu `Uthman: I heard from Sa`d, the first man who has thrown an arrow in Allah's Cause, and from Abu Bakra who jumped over the wall of the Ta'if Fort along with a few persons and came to the Prophet. They both said, "We heard the Prophet saying, " If somebody claims to be the son of somebody other than his father knowingly, he will be denied Paradise (i.e. he will not enter Paradise).' " Narrated Ma`mar from `Asim from Abu Al-`Aliya or Abu `Uthman An-Nahdi who said. "I heard Sa`d and Abu Bakra narrating from the Prophet." `Asim said, "I said (to him), 'Very trustworthy persons have narrated to you.' He said, 'Yes, one of them was the first to throw an arrow in Allah's Cause and the other came to the Prophet in a group of thirty-three persons from Ta'if.'

Hadith Commentary:
Hafiz said: I have not found this suspended narration (ta'liq) of Hisham with a connected chain (mawsulan), and Imam Bukhari rahimahullah's purpose in mentioning its chain is so that the details of the following narration become clear. In the previous narration, it was mentioned in general terms that he had climbed the fortress with several men; in this one, it is stated that they were thirty men.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) laid siege to Ta’if, a few men inside the fortress consulted among themselves that why should they not become Muslim, but there was no apparent way to get out of the fortress.
They climbed the wall and exited the fortress using a pulley, that is, a ladder.
The person who initiated this movement became famous by the name Abu Bakrah.
His real name is Nafi‘ ibn Harith, and he was among the slaves of Thaqif.
2.
In the first narration, the number of those who exited the fortress was ambiguous; in the second narration, it was clarified that their number was twenty-three (23).
Abu Bakrah (radi Allahu anhu) was the first to descend; the commentators have also listed the names of those who descended from the fortress.
Among them was Azraq, the husband of Sayyidah Sumayyah (radi Allahu anha), the mother of Ziyad.
This is the same Ziyad who later became famous as Ziyad ibn Abu Sufyan.
He was the maternal brother of Abu Bakrah (radi Allahu anhu).
In the narration of Sahih Muslim, when Ziyad attributed himself to Abu Sufyan (radi Allahu anhu), Abu ‘Uthman Nahdi said to Abu Bakrah (radi Allahu anhu):
“What have you done?” Then he referenced the aforementioned hadith.
Abu Bakrah (radi Allahu anhu) said:
“I too heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).”
(Sahih Muslim, al-Iman, Hadith 219(63))
3.
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah)’s intent is to show that Abu Bakrah (radi Allahu anhu) was among those companions who scaled the fortress of Ta’if and presented themselves before the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) freed those slaves who descended from the fortress and came to him.
