سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ يُخَيَّرُ فِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْفُجُورِ
A time will come when a man will be made to choose between helplessness and sin
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 8557
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه أبو بكر الشافعي، حدثنا إسحاق بن الحسن بن ميمون، حدثنا سعيد بن سليمان، حدثنا عباد بن العوّام، عن داود بن أبي هند، عن سعيد بن أبي جَبيرة، عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "سيأتي على الناسٌ زمان يُخيَّر فيه الرجلُ بين العَجْزِ والفُجور، فمن أدرك منكم ذلك الزمان فليخترِ العجز على الفجور" (2).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon a time will come upon people in which a man will be made to choose between helplessness and sinfulness. So whoever among you lives to see that time should prefer 'ajz (helplessness) over fujur (sinfulness)."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Adil Murshid et al.
(2) إسناده ضعيف شاذٌّ لمخالفة عباد بن العوام جمعًا من ثقات أصحاب داود بن أبي هند في تسمية شيخه كما هو مبيَّن في الحديث السابق، وسعيد بن أبي جبيرة هذا لا يعرف إلا في هذا الحديث عند المصنف، ولم نقف له على ترجمة، وفي هذه الطبقة من شيوخ داود سعيدُ بن أبي خَيْرة، إلّا أنَّ هذا لم يدرك أبا هريرة، ولا يروي عنه إلا بواسطة الحسن البصري، ولا يؤثر توثيقه إلّا عن ابن حبان.
Grading: Its chain is weak and shadh.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The reason is that Abbad bin al-Awwam contradicted a group of the trustworthy students of Dawud bin Abi Hind in naming the shaykh, as explained in the previous hadith. Moreover, this Sa'id bin Abi Jubayrah is known only in this hadith with the author (al-Hakim), and we did not find a biography of him. In this same tier of Dawud's shaykhs there is a "Sa'id bin Abi Khayrah", but he did not meet Abu Hurayrah and does not narrate from him except through the intermediary of al-Hasan al-Basri, and his being declared trustworthy is not reported from anyone except Ibn Hibban.
