Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 911

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى قَاصٍّ يَقُصُّ فَأَمْسَكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " قُصَّ ، فَلَأَنْ أَقْعُدَ غَدْوَةً إِلَى أَنْ تُشْرِقَ الشَّمْسُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ ، وَبَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ لَفْظَ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ : " أَقُصُّ ، فَلَأَنْ أَقْعُدَ هَذَا الْمُقْعَدَ مِنْ حِينِ تُصَلِّي الْغَدَاةَ إِلَى أَنْ تُشْرِقَ الشَّمْسُ " - فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ أَبَا الْجَعْدِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ; فَإِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الْغَطْفَانِيَّ ، فَهُوَ مِنْ رِجَالِ الصَّحِيحِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَهُ فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to a storyteller who was narrating something. (On seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that man stopped,) and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell your story! That I should sit from the early morning until the sun rises is dearer to me than freeing four slaves, and that I should sit from after Asr until the sun sets is dearer to me than freeing four slaves."
Ahmad (in his Musnad) and Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, except that Tabarani's wording is: "Tell your story! That I should sit here from the time you pray the morning prayer until the sun shines (is dearer to me)," and then he mentioned the rest of the hadith. Its narrators have been declared trustworthy, except that its chain mentions that Abu al-Ja'd narrated it from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him); if he is al-Ghatafani, then he is one of the narrators of the Sahih, and if he is someone else, then I do not know him.
