Hadith 1680
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَى الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ نَمِرَةٍ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، وَالْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، وَأَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ اسْمُهُ : إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَرَوَى عَنْهُ أَيْضًا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى .
Yunus bin Ubaid, the freed slave of Muhammad bin Qasim, says that Muhammad bin Qasim sent me to Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him about the flag of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Bara’ said: “His flag was striped, square, and black.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:
