Hadith 1175
ثنا بِهَذَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبْتُ مَعَ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ نَعُودُهُ ، فَحَدَّثَ سُوَيْدٌ ، أَوْ حَدَّثَ زِرٌّ وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ سُوَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ يُرِيدُ صَلاةً ، وَقَالَ : مَرَّةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ يَنْسَى فَيَنَامُ ، إِلا كَانَ نَوْمُهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَكُتِبَ لَهُ مَا نَوَى " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : فَإِنْ كَانَ زَائِدَةُ حَفِظَ الإِسْنَادَ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ حَبِيبٍ ، وَحَبِيبٌ مِنْ عَبْدَةَ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا مُدَلِّسَانِ ، فَجَائِزٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدَةُ حَدَّثَ بِالْخَبَرِ مَرَّةً قَدِيمًا ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِلا شَكٍّ ، ثُمَّ شَكَّ بَعْدُ أَسَمِعَهُ مِنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، أَوْ مِنْ سُوَيْدٍ ، وَهُوَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؛ لأَنَّ بَيْنَ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، وَبَيْنَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، وَابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ مِنَ السِّنِّ مَا قَدْ يُنْسِي الرَّجُلَ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا كَانَ يَحْفَظُهُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ سَمِعَ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ عَبْدَةَ فَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ سَمِعَهُ قَبْلَ مَوْلِدِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ؛ لأَنَّ حَبِيبَ بْنَ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ لَعَلَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ ، قَدْ سَمِعَ حَبِيبَ بْنَ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ مِنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمَحْفُوظِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَسَانِيدِ
Imam Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have remembered this statement from Abda bin Abi Lubabah, who says: I went with Zirr bin Hubaysh to visit Suwaid bin Ghaflah during his illness, and either Suwaid or Zirr narrated a hadith—I am mostly certain that Suwaid narrated it. He narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda or Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with them both), and I am mostly certain that it was from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: Whoever intends to pray at night (Tahajjud), but then forgets and falls asleep, his sleep will be a charity from Allah Almighty upon him, and he will be granted the reward according to his intention.
Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If Zaidah has remembered the chain of narration he mentioned, and Sulaiman heard from Habib, and Habib heard from Abda, then both of them are mudallis (those who practice tadlis). It is possible that Abda narrated this hadith a long time ago through Suwaid bin Ghaflah from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) without any doubt, but later he became uncertain whether he heard this narration from Zirr bin Hubaysh or from Suwaid, and whether he narrated it from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) or from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). Because the age difference between Habib bin Abi Thabit and Imam Sufyan Thawri and Ibn Uyaynah is such that in that period a person forgets many things he has memorized. If Habib bin Abi Thabit heard this narration from Abda, then it is likely that he heard it before the birth of Ibn Uyaynah—because perhaps Habib bin Abi Thabit was older in age than his teacher Abda bin Abi Lubabah. Habib bin Abi Thabit heard from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and regarding which of these chains is preserved, Allah Almighty knows best.
