وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو الطَّيِّبِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّعِيرِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو شُجَاعٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْدَلَانِيُّ، ثنا الْجَارُودُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتَرْعَوُونَ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الْفَاجِرِ؟ اذْكُرُوهُ بِمَا فِيهِ كَيْ يَعْرِفَهُ النَّاسُ وَيَحْذَرَهُ النَّاسُ ". فَهَذَا حَدِيثُ يُعْرَفُ بِالْجَارُودِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ، وَأَنْكَرَهُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ يَقُولُ: كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْجَارُودِيُّ إِذَا مَرَّ بِقَبْرِ جَدِّهِ فِي مَقْبَرَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ يَقُولُ: يَا أَبَةِ، لَوْ لَمْ تُحَدِّثْ بِحَدِيثِ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ لَزُرْتُكَ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " وَقَدْ سَرَقَهُ عَنْهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ فَرَوَوْهُ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ وَلَمْ يَصِحَّ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ.
Bahz bin Hakim narrates from his father, from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you refrain from mentioning the wicked person?" He said: "Mention his faults, so that people may know him and beware of him."
This hadith is known through al-Jarud bin Yazid al-Naysaburi, and the scholars of hadith rejected it from him. Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ya'qub al-Hafiz said more than once: Whenever Abu Bakr al-Jarudi passed by the grave of his grandfather in the cemetery of al-Husayn bin Mu'adh, he would say: "O father, had you not narrated the hadith of Bahz bin Hakim, I would have visited you."
The Shaykh said: A group of weak narrators stole it from him and narrated it from Bahz bin Hakim, and nothing about it is authentic.
