Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 5174

(2) زاد في (ب) والمطبوع في نسب سعد بعد حارثة: عبيدة. وهو خطأ.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): (2) In manuscript (B) and the printed edition, "'Ubaydah" has been added in Sa'd's lineage after Harithah, which is wrong.

(3) تكرر هذا الخبر بإسناده ومتنه بإثره مباشرة في (ز) وحدها. وأخرجه الطبراني في "الكبير" (5352)، وعنه أبو نعيم في "معرفة الصحابة" (3116) عن أبي عُلَاثة محمد بن عمرو بن خالد، بهذا الإسناد.
Note / Clarification: (3) This report is repeated immediately, with its chain and text, only in manuscript (Z).
Reference / Source: Al-Tabarani narrated it in "al-Kabir" (5352), and from him Abu Nu'aym in "Ma'rifat al-Sahabah" (3116), from Abu 'Ulathah Muhammad bin 'Amr bin Khalid, with this same chain.
وكونه نقيبًا متفق عليه عند أهل السير والمغازي.
Important point: That he was a "naqib" (chief representative) is agreed upon by the scholars of the sirah and maghazi.
وجاء مسندًا عن جابر بن عبد الله عند ابن أبي عاصم في "الآحاد والمثاني" (1822)، ولا بأس به في الشواهد.
Reference / Source: It is reported with a "musnad" (connected) chain from Jabir bin 'Abdullah in Ibn Abi 'Asim's "al-Ahad wa al-Mathani" (1822).
Grading: And it is "unobjectionable" as a supporting report (shahid).
ومن حديث كعب بن مالك، وسيأتي عند المصنف برقم (5179).
Note / Clarification: It is also from the hadith of Ka'b bin Malik, which will come with the author (al-Hakim) at number (5179).
وأما شهود سعد بن عبادة بدرًا ففيه خلاف، فقد جزم به عروة بن الزبير هنا والزهري كما في الرواية التالية، وقال ابن عبد البر في "الاستيعاب" (ص 280): لم يذكره ابن عُقبة ولا ابن إسحاق في البدريين، وذكره فيهم جماعةٌ غيرهما، منهم الواقدي والمدائني وابن الكلبي، وذكره أبو أحمد الحاكم في كتابه في الكنى، فقال: شهد بدرًا مع النبي ﷺ، قال: ويقال: لم يشهد بدرًا. قلنا: ذِكرُه الواقديَّ فيمن أثبت شهود سعد بن عبادة بدرًا غير مسلَّم، فإنَّ الواقدي نفى شهوده بدرًا كما سيأتي في روايته الآتية برقم (5176).
Important point: Whether Sa'd bin 'Ubadah took part in Badr is a disputed matter.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): 'Urwah bin al-Zubayr stated it decisively here, and al-Zuhri in the next narration. But Ibn 'Abd al-Barr said in "al-Isti'ab" (p. 280): "Ibn 'Uqbah and Ibn Ishaq did not mention him among the people of Badr, while a group other than them (including al-Waqidi, al-Mada'ini and Ibn al-Kalbi) counted him among the people of Badr." Abu Ahmad al-Hakim said in "al-Kuna": "He took part in Badr with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)", then said: "And it is said that he did not take part." We (the editors) say: counting al-Waqidi among those who affirm that he was at Badr is not correct, because al-Waqidi denied his taking part in Badr, as will come in his narration at number (5176).
وقال ابن كثير في "البداية والنهاية" 5/ 227: ذكره غير واحد منهم عروة والبخاري وابن أبي حاتم والطبراني فيمن شهد بدرًا، ووقع في "صحيح مسلم" (1779) ما يشهد بذلك حين شاور النبي ﷺ في ملتقى النفير من قريش، فقال سعد بن عبادة: كأنك تريدنا يا رسول الله … الحديث، والصحيح أنَّ ذلك سعد بن معاذ، والمشهور أنَّ سعد بن عُبادة ردّه من الطريق، قيل: لاستنابته على المدينة، وقيل: لدغته حيّة، فلم يتمكن من الخروج إلى بدر، حكاه السُّهيلي عن ابن قتيبة. وانظر التعليق على ضبط اسم حَزِيمة عند الرواية الآتية برقم (5176).
Reference / Source: Ibn Kathir said in "al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah" [5/ 227]: "Several, including 'Urwah, al-Bukhari, Ibn Abi Hatim and al-Tabarani, mentioned him among those who took part in Badr." Support for this is also found in Sahih Muslim (1779), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought counsel at the time of meeting the army of Quraysh, and Sa'd bin 'Ubadah said: "It seems you are referring to us, O Messenger of Allah..."
Technical note / Defect ('illah): But the correct view is that the one who said this was Sa'd bin Mu'adh (not Ibn 'Ubadah). What is well known is that Sa'd bin 'Ubadah was sent back from the way; it is said that this was to appoint him as deputy over Madinah, and it is said that he was bitten by a snake, so he could not go to Badr. Al-Suhayli reported this from Ibn Qutaybah. [For further details see the comment on the vocalisation of "Hazimah" which will come at narration number (5176)].
