اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، ثَنَا دَفَّاعُ بْنُ دَغْفَلٍ ، ثَنَا النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِصُهَيْبٍ : يَا صُهَيْبُ ، إِنَّ فِيكَ خِصَالًا ثَلَاثًا أَكْرَهُهَا لَكَ .
قَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : إِطْعَامُكَ الطَّعَامَ وَلَا مَالَ لَكَ ، وَاكْتِنَاؤُكَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ ، وَادِّعَاؤُكَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَفِي لِسَانِكَ لُكْنَةٌ .
قَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : أَفْضَلُكُمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ ، وَأَيْمُ اللهِ لَا أَتْرُكُ إِطْعَامَ الطَّعَامِ أَبَدًا . وَذَكَرَ الْكُنْيَةَ ، قَالَ : فَعَلَيْهَا أَحْيَا وَعَلَيْهَا أَمُوتُ . وَذَكَرَ الِادِّعَاءَ ، قَالَ : فَأَنَا صُهَيْبُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ ، حَتَّى انْتَسَبَ إِلَى النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ ، كُنْتُ أَرْعَى عَلَى أَهْلِي ، وَإِنَّ الرُّومَ أَغَارَتْ فَرَقَّتْنِي ، فَعَلَّمَتْنِي لُغَتَهَا ، فَهُوَ الَّذِي تَرَى مِنْ لُكْنَتِي .
قُلْتُ : هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ صُهَيْبًا .. فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
وَهَذَا السِّيَاقُ أَوَفَى .
وَفِي الْبُخَارِيِّ طَرَفٌ مِنْهُ .
وَفِي ابْنِ مَاجَهْ طَرَفٌ آخَرُ .
وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجْتُهُ لِغَرَابَةِ إِسْنَادِهِ وَاسْتِيفَاءِ سِيَاقِهِ .
قَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : إِطْعَامُكَ الطَّعَامَ وَلَا مَالَ لَكَ ، وَاكْتِنَاؤُكَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ ، وَادِّعَاؤُكَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَفِي لِسَانِكَ لُكْنَةٌ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Suhayb, there are three traits in you that I dislike." He explained: "Your feeding people although you have no wealth, your taking a kunyah although you have no child, and your attributing yourself to the Arabs although there is an accent (a non-Arab trace) in your speech." Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "As for the feeding of people that you mentioned, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The best of you is the one who feeds others.' And by Allah, I will never give up feeding people." Then he mentioned his kunyah and said: "Upon it I live and upon it I shall die." And regarding his lineage he said: "I am Suhayb bin Sinan," until he traced his lineage back to al-Namir bin Qasit, and he said: "I used to graze the livestock of my family when the Romans raided and took me captive; then they taught me their language, and that is the reason for the accent you see in my speech."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: This chain is gharib (unusual). Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it through Hamzah bin Suhayb, that Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) - then he mentioned something similar; however, this version is more complete and detailed. Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated part of it, and Imam Ibn Majah (may Allah have mercy on him) related another part. I have included it here only because of the unusualness of its chain and the completeness of its wording.
