Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 5241

(4) سقط من المطبوع عبارة: عن أبي بكر الصديق، والمعنى: نَزَعَ أبو عُبيدة متحمِّلًا عن أبي بكر الصديق العَنَاء بثنيته حلقتي المغفر من وجنتيه ﷺ.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): (4) The phrase "'an Abi Bakr al-Siddiq" has dropped out of the printed edition. The meaning is that Abu 'Ubaydah, taking the burden upon himself on behalf of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), pulled out the two rings of the helmet from the cheeks of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his front teeth.

(5) مَن فوق محمد بن عمر - وهو الواقدي - ثقات، لكن الخبر مرسل، ومَن دونه هم بعض مَن روى عن الواقدي كُتُبه، كما تقدَّم بيانه برقم (4060)، وقد تابعهم ابن سعد في "طبقاته" 3/ 379، لكنه فصَّل، فجعل قصة إسلام أبي عبيدة وأصحابِه من رواية يزيد بن رومان المرسلة، وقصة هجرة أبي عبيدة عن شيوخ الواقدي مُصدِّرًا إياها بعبارة: قالوا، وقصة شهود أبي عبيدة بدرًا وأحدًا وثبوته يوم أحد من قول الواقدي.
Grading: (5) All the narrators above Muhammad bin 'Umar (al-Waqidi) are trustworthy, but this report is "mursal". And the narrators below al-Waqidi are among those who narrated al-Waqidi's books from him, as explained under number (4060).
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Ibn Sa'd corroborated them in "al-Tabaqat" (3/379), but he gave details: he took the story of the acceptance of Islam by Abu 'Ubaydah and his companions from the "mursal" narration of "Yazid bin Ruman", the story of Abu 'Ubaydah's emigration from al-Waqidi's shaykhs (introduced with the word "qalu" [they said]), and the story of Abu 'Ubaydah's presence at Badr and Uhud and his standing firm on the day of Uhud as the statement of "al-Waqidi" himself.
وقد أسند الواقديُّ في "مغازيه" 11/ 246 - 247 قصة انتزاع أبي عبيدة حلقتي المغفر من وجنتي رسول الله ﷺ بثنيّتيه، عن إسحاق بن يحيى بن طلحة بإسناده الذي تقدَّم عند المصنف قبله، ثم قال الواقدي: ويقال: إنَّ الذي نزع الحلقتين من وجه رسول الله ﷺ هو عقبة بن وهب بن كَلَدة، ويقال: أبو اليَسَر. قال: وأثبتُ ذلك عندنا عقبة بن وهب بن كَلَدة.
Details of the narration: Al-Waqidi, in his "al-Maghazi" (11/246-247), narrated with a chain the story of Abu 'Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) pulling out the two rings of the helmet from the cheeks of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with his front teeth, from Ishaq bin Yahya bin Talhah, with the same chain that has already appeared with the author (al-Hakim) before it.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Then al-Waqidi said: "It is also said that the one who pulled out the two rings from the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was 'Uqbah bin Wahb bin Kaladah, and it is also said it was Abu al-Yasar." Al-Waqidi said: "The most established of that in our view is that it was 'Uqbah bin Wahb bin Kaladah."
لكن نقل ابن سعد في "طبقاته" 3/ 505 عن الواقدي قوله: قال عبد الرحمن بن أبي الزناد: نرى أنهما - يعني عقب بن وهب وأبا عُبيدة - جميعًا عالجاهما، فأخرجاهما - يعني الحلقتين - من وجنتي رسول الله ﷺ! فالله تعالى أعلم.
Reference / Source: However, Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" (3/505) quoted al-Waqidi's statement that 'Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad said: "We think that both of them ('Uqbah bin Wahb and Abu 'Ubaydah) worked on them together, and both together took them (the two rings) out of the cheeks of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" And Allah the Exalted knows best.
وقد ذكر ابن إسحاق أبا عبيدة بن الجراح فيمن هاجر الهجرتين إلى الحبشة الأولى والثانية كما في "سيرة ابن هشام" 1/ 329 - 369. قال ابن سعد في "طبقاته" 3/ 379: لم يذكره موسى بن عقبة وأبو مَعشَر. يعني في مهاجرة الحبشة.
Reference / Source: Ibn Ishaq counted Abu 'Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah among those who made both emigrations to Abyssinia (the first and the second) [see: Sirat Ibn Hisham 1/329-369].
Note / Clarification: Ibn Sa'd said in "al-Tabaqat" (3/379): "Musa bin 'Uqbah and Abu Ma'shar did not mention him (among the emigrants to Abyssinia)."
