Hadith 3832
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ تَفْرِيقِ ذَوِي الْقَرَابَةِ "
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to forbid separating captive relatives from each other.
Brief Explanation
Ata bin Abi Rabah is a Tabi‘i, and here he is narrating a mursal report from Umar bin Khattab radi Allahu anhu.
A mursal narration is considered weak in the principles of hadith, unless there is another strong corroboration or supporting evidence present.
➤ Issue number ➋: The narration of Isma‘il bin ‘Ayyash from Ibn Jurayj
➔ Regarding Isma‘il bin ‘Ayyash (d. 181 AH), the rule among the hadith scholars is:
“When he narrates from the Syrians (Shamis), he is reliable (thiqah).
But when he narrates from the Hijazis, Iraqis, or other non-Syrians (such as Ibn Jurayj, who is Makki), he becomes weak.”
➔ Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said:
If he narrates from the people of his own land, then it is sound; but if he narrates from others, then there is some weakness in him.
(al-Jarh wa al-Ta‘dil li Ibn Abi Hatim 2/129)
➔ And Ibn Ma‘in said:
If he narrates from the people of Sham, he is reliable; but if he narrates from the people of Hijaz, he is weak.
(Mizan al-I‘tidal 1/274)
➤ Application here:
Ibn Jurayj, that is, ‘Abd al-Malik bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz bin Jurayj, is a Makki (i.e., Hijazi) narrator.
Isma‘il bin ‘Ayyash is narrating from him.
Therefore, this narration also becomes weak, because Isma‘il bin ‘Ayyash’s narration from the Hijazis is weak.
A mursal narration is considered weak in the principles of hadith, unless there is another strong corroboration or supporting evidence present.
