Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17670

وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - إِمَّا حَضَرَ حُذَيْفَةُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " الشِّرْكُ فِيكُمْ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ " . قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَهَلَ الشِّرْكُ إِلَّا مَا عُبِدَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ، أَوْ مَا دُعِيَ مَعَ اللَّهِ ؟ ! - شَكَّ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ - قَالَ : " ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا صِدِّيقُ ، الشِّرْكُ فِيكُمْ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِقَوْلٍ يُذْهِبُ صِغَارَهُ وَكِبَارَهُ - أَوْ صَغِيرَهُ وَكَبِيرَهُ - ؟ " . قُلْتُ : بَلَى . يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " تَقُولُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُهُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَالشِّرْكُ أَنْ تَقُولَ : أَعْطَانِي اللَّهُ وَفُلَانٌ ، وَالنِّدُّ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْإِنْسَانُ : لَوْلَا فُلَانٌ قَتَلَنِي فُلَانٌ " . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى مِنْ رِوَايَةِ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، وَلَيْثٌ مُدَلِّسٌ ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ إِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَوِ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَهُمَا فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported this from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) (perhaps Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time, or perhaps Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) told him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shirk among you is more hidden than the crawling of an ant. The narrator states: We said: O Messenger of Allah! Shirk is only that someone other than Allah is worshipped (Abd al-Malik, a narrator, is in doubt, or perhaps the words are:) or that someone else is called upon along with Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Siddiq! May your mother lose you! Shirk among you will be more hidden than the crawling of an ant. Shall I not tell you of a phrase that will remove the small and the great (shirk)? (Here the narrator is in doubt about the word, but its meaning is the same.) I said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite this three times every day: 'O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating anyone with You, and I seek Your forgiveness for that of which I have no knowledge.' Shirk is that you say: Allah Almighty and so-and-so gave to me. And nidd (setting up a rival) is that a person says: Had it not been for so-and-so, so-and-so would have killed me."
Abu Ya'la recorded it as the narration of Layth bin Abi Sulaym from Abu Muhammad from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). Layth is a mudallis; as for Abu Muhammad, if he is the one who narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), or the one who narrates from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), then Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and if he is someone other than these two, I do not know him. The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
