Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 6113 — from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي رَوْقٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : مَا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلا قَلِيلٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنَا مِنْ أُولَئِكَ الْقَلِيلِ مكسمليثا ، وَتمليخا وَهُوَ الْمَبْعُوثُ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، وَمرطولس ، وَيثبونس ، وَذرتونس ، وَكفاشطيطوس ، وَمنطنواسيسوس وَهُوَ الرَّاعِي ، وَالْكَلْبُ اسْمُهُ قِطْمِيرٌ ، دُونَ الْكُرْدِيِّ ، وَفَوْقَ الْقِبْطِيِّ ، لَا أَظُنُّ فَوْقَ الْقِبْطِيِّ I " قَالَ أَبُو شُبَيْلٍ : قَالَ أَبِي : I " بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ كَتَبَ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءَ فِي شَيْءٍ وَطَرَحَهُ فِي حَرِيقٍ سَكَنَ الْحَرِيقُ I " .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي رَوْقٍ إِلَّا ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), in explanation of the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, "None knows them except a few", that he said: "I am one of those few (who know them). They (the People of the Cave) are: Maksamlitha; Tamlikha (he is the one who was sent to the city with the silver coins); Martulus; Yathbunus; Dhartunus; Kafashtitus; and Mantanwasisus (who was the shepherd). And the dog's name was Qitmir; it was smaller (in size) than the Kurdish (dog) and larger than the Coptic, and I do not think it was larger than the Coptic."
Abu Shubayl said that his father said: "It has reached me that whoever writes these names on something and throws it into a fire, the fire dies down."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Rawq except his son Yahya."
