Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1447 — one day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُؤَمَّلِ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ قَالَ : نَا الْهُذَيْلُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَصْبَغِ عَنْ زَاذَانَ . عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أَقْبَلَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، وَفِي يَدِهِ صَحِيفَتَانِ ، يَنْظُرُ فِيهِمَا ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ : وَاللهِ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ لِأُمِّيٌّ ، مَا يَقْرَأُ وَمَا يَكْتُبُ ، حَتَّى دَنَا مِنْهُمْ ، فَنَشَرَ الَّتِي فِي يَمِينِهِ ، فَقَالَ : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ بِأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ ، مُجْمِلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ، لَا يُزَادُ فِي آخِرِهِ شَيْئًا ، فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ ، ثُمَّ نَشَرَ الَّتِي فِي يَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ . لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out with two scrolls in his hand (peace and blessings be upon him), which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was looking at. His Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said (among themselves): "By Allah! The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is unlettered; he neither reads nor writes (so what is he looking at in these scrolls?)." When he (peace and blessings be upon him) came near them, he (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the scroll that was in his right hand (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is a writing from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, containing the names of the people of Paradise and the names of their forefathers and their clans; it is their complete record, and nothing will now be added at its end; your Lord has finished (His decrees)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the other scroll that was in his other hand (peace and blessings be upon him), which concerned the people of Hell, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the like (words) about it too.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Muhammad bin Jahdam (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
