(1) قوله: "فإنها بها" قال السندي في حاشيته على "مسند أحمد": أي: فإن إحداهما بالأخرى - كما في رواية الترمذي - أي: فلا يستحق فاعلهما المدح ولا الذم.
Note / Clarification: Explaining the words "fa-innaha biha" (then it is in exchange for it), al-Sindi said in his marginal notes on "Musnad Ahmad": That is, one of the two will be in exchange for the other - as in the narration of al-Tirmidhi - meaning that the one who does them then deserves neither praise nor blame (i.e. the good and the bad become equal).
(1) إسناده ضعيف لضعف علي بن زيد - وهو ابن جُدْعان - وبعض فِقراته صحيح. أبو نضرة: هو المنذر بن مالك بن قِطعة.
Grading: Because of the weakness of 'Ali bin Zayd (Ibn Jud'an), its chain is weak, but some of its parts (paragraphs) are sahih.
Narrator identification: Abu Nadrah is al-Mundhir bin Malik bin Qit'ah.
وأخرجه أحمد 17/ (11143) عن يزيد بن هارون وعفان، عن حماد بن سلمة، بهذا الإسناد. وأخرجه أحمد 18/ (11587) من طريق معمر، والترمذي (2191) من طريق حماد بن زيد، كلاهما عن علي بن زيد، به. وقال الترمذي: حديث حسن صحيح.
Reference / Source: Imam Ahmad (17/11143) narrated it from Yazid bin Harun and 'Affan, from Hammad bin Salamah, with this same chain. Also, Ahmad (18/11587) narrated it by the route of Ma'mar, and al-Tirmidhi (2191) by the route of Hammad bin Zayd; both of them narrate it from 'Ali bin Zayd.
Grading: Imam al-Tirmidhi said: This hadith is "hasan sahih".
والفِقرة الأولى منه - وهي "الدنيا خضرة" - أخرجها ابن ماجه (4000) من طريق حماد بن زيد، عن علي بن زيد، به.
Reference / Source: Its first part - which consists of "al-dunya khadirah" (the world is green) - was narrated by Ibn Majah (4000) by the route of Hammad bin Zayd, from 'Ali bin Zayd.
وأخرجها أحمد 17/ (11169)، ومسلم (2742)، والنسائي (9224)، وابن حبان (3221) من طريق أبي مسلمة سعيد بن يزيد، وأحمد 18/ (11426)، وابن حبان (5591) من طريق المستمر بن الريان، كلاهما عن أبي نضرة، به.

Both of them (Abu Maslamah and al-Mustamirr) narrate it from Abu Nadrah.
والفقرة السادسة منه - وهي "لا يمنعن رجلًا مهابةُ الناس" - أخرجها أحمد 18/ (11678)، وابن ماجه (4007) من طريق حماد بن زيد، عن علي بن زيد، به.
Reference / Source: Its sixth part - which consists of "la yamna'anna rajulan mahabatu al-nas" (let not awe of people prevent a man) - was narrated by Ahmad (18/11678) and Ibn Majah (4007) by the route of Hammad bin Zayd, from 'Ali bin Zayd.
وأخرجها أحمد 17/ (11017) و (11403) و 18 / (11428) و (11831) و (11869)، وابن حبان (275) و (278) من طرق عن أبي نضرة، به. فهي صحيحة بطرقها.
Reference / Source: Imam Ahmad (17/11017, 11403 and 18/11428, 11831, 11869) and Ibn Hibban (275, 278) narrated it by various routes from Abu Nadrah.
Grading: So this (part) is "sahih" by virtue of its routes.
وأخرجها أيضًا أحمد 18/ (11474) من طريق الحسن البصري، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، بزيادة ألفاظ. وإسناده ضعيف.
Reference / Source: Imam Ahmad (18/11474) also narrated it by the route of al-Hasan al-Basri, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, with some additional words.
Grading: Its chain is weak (because al-Hasan al-Basri did not hear from him).
والفقرة السابعة منه - وهي "لكل غادر لواء" - أخرجها أحمد 17/ (11038) عن سفيان بن عيينة، و 18/ (11666)، وابن ماجه (2873) من طريق حماد بن زيد، كلاهما عن علي بن زيد، به.

وأخرجها أحمد 17 / (11303) و 18/ (11427)، ومسلم (1738) (15) و (16) من طريقين عن أبي نضرة، به. فهي صحيحة. وأخرجها أحمد 17/ (11351) من طريق عطية العوفي، والنسائي (8682) من طريق الحسن البصري، كلاهما عن أبي سعيد مختصرًا. وعطية فيه ضعف، والحسن لم يسمع من أبي سعيد.
Reference / Source: Ahmad (17/11303, 18/11427) and Muslim (1738/15, 16) narrated it by two routes from Abu Nadrah, so it is sahih.
Technical note: Ahmad (17/11351) narrated it by the route of 'Atiyyah al-'Awfi, and al-Nasa'i (8682) by the route of al-Hasan al-Basri, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri in abridged form. There is "weakness" in 'Atiyyah, and al-Hasan al-Basri did not hear from Abu Sa'id.
والفقرة الثامنة منه - وهي "أفضل الجهاد كلمة حق" - أخرجها أبو داود (4344)، وابن ماجه (4011)، والترمذي (2174) من طريق عطية العوفي، عن أبي سعيد.

ويشهد لها حديث طارق بن شهاب عند أحمد 31/ (18828) و (18830)، والنسائي. (7786).
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: For this report there is the hadith of Tariq bin Shihab as a shahid, which is in Musnad Ahmad (31/18828 and 18830) and Sunan al-Nasa'i (7786).
وطارق بن شهاب له رؤية والإسناد إليه صحيح.
Technical note: Tariq bin Shihab had the honour of "ru'yah" (having seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)), and the chain reaching him is sahih.
وآخر من حديث أبي أمامة عند أحمد 36/ (22158)، وابن ماجه (4012). وإسناده حسن إن شاء الله. فهذه الفقرة صحيحة بشاهديها.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Another shahid for this report is the hadith of Abu Umamah, which is in Musnad Ahmad (36/22158) and Ibn Majah (4012).
Grading: Its chain is, Allah willing, hasan.
Important point: So this part (paragraph) is sahih by virtue of its two supporting reports.
وأخرج الفقرة الأولى والسابعة أحمد 18 / (11796) من طريق الحسن البصري، عن أبي سعيد.
Reference: In Musnad Ahmad (18/11796) the first and seventh paragraphs of this report are narrated by the route of al-Hasan al-Basri, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him).
