Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 6796

(1) تحرَّف في النسخ الخطية إلى: بن يسار.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the manuscripts this name has been corrupted into "bin Yasar".

(2) صحيح لغيره، وهذا إسناد ضعيف؛ نعيم بن حماد متكلم فيه، ورواية أبي وائل -وهو شقيق ابن سلمة- عن عبد الله بن حذافة مرسلة، قال ابن البرقى: حُفظ عنه -أي: ابن حذافة- ثلاثة أحاديث ليست بصحيحة الاتصال. وقال الهيثمي في "مجمع الزوائد" 5/ 15: رواه الطبراني وهو مرسل، ورجاله ثقات!
Grading: This narration is "sahih li-ghayrihi", but this chain is weak.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Nu'aym bin Hammad has been criticised, and the narration of Abu Wa'il (Shaqiq bin Salamah) from 'Abd Allah bin Hudhafah is "mursal". Ibn al-Barqi said: "Three hadiths are preserved from him (i.e. Ibn Hudhafah) whose connection is not sound." al-Haythami said in "Majma' al-Zawa'id" (5/ 15): "al-Tabarani narrated it, and it is mursal, and its narrators are thiqah!"
ويشهد له ما رواه أحمد 19/ (12044) من طريق حميد الطويل عن أنس قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ "لا تسألوني عن شيء إلى يوم القيامة إلا حدثتكم" قال: فقال عبد الله بن حذافة: يا رسول الله، من أبي؟ قال: "أبوك حذافة" فقالت أمه: ما أردتَ إلى هذا؟ قال: أردتُ أن أستريح وإسناده صحيح.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: A supporting report for it is what Imam Ahmad (19/ 12044) transmitted via Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will not ask me about anything, up to the Day of Resurrection, but that I will tell you." 'Abd Allah bin Hudhafah asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is my father?" He said: "Your father is Hudhafah." His mother said: "What did you intend by this?" He said: "I wanted to be at rest (from what people were saying)."
Grading: The chain of this supporting report is sahih.
وأخرج مسلم بإثر الحديث (2359) من طريق الزهري قال: أخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، قال: قالت أم عبد الله بن حذافة لعبد الله بن حذافة: ما سمعت بابن قط أعقَّ منك؟ أأمنت أن تكون أمك قد قارفت بعض ما تقارف نساء أهل الجاهلية، فتفضحها على أعين الناس؟ قال عبد الله بن حذافة: والله لو ألحقَني بعبدٍ أسود للحقتُه.
Reference / Source: Imam Muslim transmitted after hadith (2359), via al-Zuhri, who said: 'Ubayd Allah bin 'Abd Allah bin 'Utbah informed me that the mother of 'Abd Allah bin Hudhafah said to him: "I have never heard of a son more undutiful than you! Did you feel safe that your mother might not have committed something of what the women of the Jahiliyyah used to commit, so that you would disgrace her before the eyes of the people?" 'Abd Allah bin Hudhafah replied: "By Allah, had he attributed me to a black slave, I would have attached myself to him."
وقصة سؤال عبد الله بن حذافة وردت في البخاري (93) و (7089)، ومسلم (2359) من غير طريق عن أنس بن مالك، وعن أبي موسى الأشعري عند البخاري (92)، ومسلم (2360).
Reference / Source: This story of 'Abd Allah bin Hudhafah's question is reported in al-Bukhari (93 and 7089) and Muslim (2359) through more than one route from Anas bin Malik, and from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari in al-Bukhari (92) and Muslim (2360).
ويشهد لقوله: "الولد للفراش وللعاهر الحجر" حديث عائشة عند البخاري (2218)، ومسلم (1457).
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: For his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying "The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone" a supporting report is the narration of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), which is in al-Bukhari (2218) and Muslim (1457).
