Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 7987
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه علي بن عيسى، حدثنا أحمد بن نَجْدة القُرشي، حدثنا سعيد بن منصور، حدثنا محمد بن حُمْران، حدثنا خالد الحذَّاء، عن أبي تَمِيمة، عن أبي المَلِيح بن أسامة، عن أبيه قال: كنتُ رَدِيفَ رسولِ الله ﷺ فَعَثَرَ بعيرُنا، فقلتُ: تَعِسَ الشَّيطانُ، فقال لي النبيُّ ﷺ: "لا تقُلْ: تَعِسَ الشيطانُ، فإنه يَستعظِمُ حتى يكونَ مثلَ البيتِ ويَقْوَى، ولكن قُلْ: باسم الله، فإذا قلتَ: باسم الله، تصاغَرَ حتى يصيرَ مثلَ الذُّباب" (1).
Abu al-Malih bin Usamah narrates from his father (Usamah bin Malik): I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount when our camel stumbled and fell. I said: "May Satan perish!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do not say 'May Satan perish', for with that he grows arrogant until he becomes as big as a house and considers himself powerful. Rather, say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), for when you say Bismillah he becomes so insignificant that he is left the size of a fly."

(1) حديث صحيح، وهذا إسناد ضعيف، محمد بن حمران ليِّن الحديث، وقد سلك فيه طريق الجادة، فجعل صحابيه أسامة. وأخرجه النسائي (10313) من طريق أحمد بن عبدة، عن محمد بن حمران، بهذا الإسناد. وقال: هذا عندي خطأ.
Grading: The hadith itself is sahih, but this chain is weak.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The narrator Muhammad bin Humran is "layyin al-hadith" (weak), and taking the familiar route (the "well-trodden path") he named Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) as the Companion.
Reference / Source: Imam al-Nasa'i (10313) narrated it by the route of Ahmad bin Abdah with this same chain of Muhammad bin Humran, and said: "In my view this is a mistake."
