حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قُرِئَتْ عِنْدَهُ، أَوْ قَرَأَهَا، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا، قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْأُمَّةُ؟ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ، وَالْقَانِتُ: الَّذِي يُطِيعُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
This verse was recited in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), or he recited it himself: "Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah (one combining all good qualities), devoutly obedient to Allah" [Surah al-Nahl: 120]. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah. The people said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! (The verse is:) "Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you know what an ummah is? It is the one who teaches people goodness. And the qanit is the one who obeys Allah and His Messenger.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي فِرَاسٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا، وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ فَرْوَةُ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ: نَسِيَ، إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ: وَمَنْ نَسِيَ؟ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُشَبِّهُ مُعَاذًا بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ: مُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرِ، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْقَانِتِ، فَقَالَ: مُطِيعٌ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright in faith, and he was not of the polytheists. Thereupon Farwah, a man from the tribe of Ashja', said: He has forgotten; (the verse is:) "Indeed, Ibrahim." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Who has forgotten? We used to liken Mu'adh to Ibrahim. He was asked about the ummah, and he said: The teacher of goodness. And he was asked about the qanit, and he said: The one obedient to Allah and His Messenger.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، وَزَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا، قِيلَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] . قَالَ: قَالَ: أَسَمِعْتُمُونِي ذَكَرْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُشَبِّهُ مُعَاذًا بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah (a nation in himself), devoutly obedient to Allah, upright." It was said to him: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! (The verse is rather) 'Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright' [Surah al-Nahl: 120]." He said: "Did you hear me mention Ibrahim?" Then he said: "Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright." He said: "We used to liken Mu'adh to Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، وَبَيَانٍ، أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا، فَقَالَ فَرْوَةُ: غَلَطٌ، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا كُنَّا نُشَبِّهُ بِهِ. وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ: مُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرِ، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْقَانِتِ فَقَالَ: مُطِيعٌ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah." At this Farwah said: "That is a mistake; (the verse is rather) 'Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah' [Surah al-Nahl: 120]." He said: "We used to liken him (Mu'adh) to Ibrahim." He was asked about the ummah, and he said: "One who teaches good." And he was asked about the qanit, and he said: "One who is obedient to Allah and His Messenger."
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نَوْفَلٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ حَنِيفًا، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: غَلَطَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، إِنَّمَا قَالَ {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، قَالَ: أَتَدْرِي مَا الْأُمَّةُ، وَمَا الْقَانِتُ؟ قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: الْأُمَّةُ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ، وَالْقَانِتُ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ يُعَلِّمُ الْخَيْرَ، وَكَانَ مُطِيعًا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ
Farwah bin Nawfal al-Ashja'i says that Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright." I said to myself: Abu Abd al-Rahman has made a mistake; the verse is rather "Indeed, Ibrahim." (Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: "Do you know what the ummah is, and what the qanit is?" I said: "Allah knows best." He said: "The ummah is the one who teaches people good, and the qanit is the one who is obedient to Allah and His Messenger; and Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was just like that: he taught good and was obedient to Allah and His Messenger."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ثنا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: إِنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ كَانَ أُمَّةً لِلَّهِ قَانِتًا حَنِيفًا، وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا نَرَاكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تُحَدِّثُنَا بِشَيْءٍ مَا تَدْرِي مَا هُوَ، يَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، وَتَقُولُ أَنْتَ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا، قَالَ: مَا يَزَالُونَ يَسْمَعُونَ مِنِّي حَقًّا فَيُنْكِرُونَهُ، إِنَّ الْقَانِتَ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ، وَكَانَ مُعَاذٌ كَذَلِكَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah, upright, and he was not one of the polytheists." At this a man said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! We see you telling us something you do not know; Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says 'Indeed, Ibrahim,' and you say: 'Indeed, Mu'adh.'" He said: "These people keep hearing the truth from me, yet they do not accept it. The qanit is the one obedient to Allah, and Mu'adh was like that."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَسْرُوقًا وَلَا غَيْرَهُ
A similar hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), except that it does not mention Masruq or anyone else.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِلَّهِ، تَدْرُونَ مَا الْأُمَّةُ؟ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah. Do you know what the ummah is? One who teaches people good."
