Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2888 — The traits that admit one to Paradise

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ صُحَارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْيَاخُنَا ، أَنَّ عِيَاذًا حَدَّثَهُمْ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعَثَهُ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ ، فَجَابُوا مِنْ أَجْوِبَةِ الْأَعْرَابِ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ادَّعَى بَعْضُهُمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ ؟ ، قَالُوا : عِيَاذٌ سَمِعَهُ مِنَّا ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا عِيَاذُ ، هَلْ سَمِعْتَهُ أَوْ شَهِدْتَهُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : سَمِعْتُ أَذَانًا : وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Iyadh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him on a sariyyah (military detachment), and they crossed through the lands of the desert Arabs (and came back bringing some people). When he came before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), some of them (the captives) claimed that they had already accepted Islam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who knows this to be true?" They said: Iyadh heard this from us himself. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Iyadh! Did you actually hear this, or are you a witness to it?" I said: I heard the sound of the adhan (there) and heard the words 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set those people free (honourably).
Imam Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili recorded this hadith in his Musnad; its chain contains Bishr bin Suhar, whose condition is unknown (mastur); however, the meaning of judging a settlement to be Muslim rather than disbelieving upon hearing the adhan is established by other authentic narrations of Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim.
