Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

His father recorded: “My son ʿAbd Allah was born on the night of Friday, after five days of Safar had passed, in the year eighty-four.

Ibn Hazarmard died on the third of Jumada al-Akhirah, in the year 469 AH.

Abu al-Hasan ibn al-Bukhari and others wrote to us, in the collection al-Jaʿdiyyāt, that ʿUmar ibn Muhammad told them, saying: ʿAbd al-Wahhab the ḥāfiẓ informed us; ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Khatib informed us (1); Abu al-Qasim ibn Ḥabābah informed us; Abu al-Qasim al-Baghawi narrated to us; ʿAli ibn al-Jaʿd narrated to me; Abu al-Ashhab informed me, from al-Hasan, who said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever claims, ‘I am in Paradise,’ will be in the Fire.”

This is a mursal, singular report (2).

Using the same chain: ʿAli narrated to us, saying: Mubarak ibn Fadalah informed me, from al-Hasan, who said: ʿImran ibn Husayn informed me that a man, upon his death-bed, emancipated six of his slaves while owning no other property. The matter was referred to the Prophet ﷺ; he cast lots among them, freed two, and kept four in bondage.

Its chain is acceptable (3), and it is a clear textual proof for the legitimacy of drawing lots in such circumstances—and Allah knows best.

(1) He is the individual whose biography is under discussion. (2) i.e. he is weak and cannot be relied upon. Ibn Saad states in al-Tabaqat, 7/157-158: Whatever al-Hasan transmits with a continuous isnad from those he actually heard constitutes a sound proof, whereas his mursal reports (those with a missing link) are not acceptable as evidence. (3) The report is recorded by Ahmad, 4/440, through the chain of Mubarak ibn Fadala; by Ahmad, 4/428, 439, 445, 446, and by al-Nasa i, 4/64, through several routes from al-Hasan. It is also transmitted by Muslim, no. 1668, Abu Dawud, no. 3958, and al-Tirmidhi, no. 1364, through the isnad of Ayyub → Abu Qilaba → Abu al-Muhlab → Imran ibn Husayn; and by Muslim, no. 1668/57, Ahmad, 4/438, and Abu Dawud, no. 3961, through the isnad of Muhammad ibn Sirin → Imran ibn Husayn.
وَالِده: وُلِد ابْنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ لَيْلَة الجُمُعَة، لِخَمْسٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ صفر، سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَمَانِيْنَ. تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُ هَزَارْمَرْدَ: فِي ثَالِثِ جُمَادَى الآخِرَةِ، سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَسِتِّيْنَ وَأَرْبَعِ مائَة. كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا أَبُو الحَسَنِ بنُ البُخَارِيّ، وَغَيْرهُ بِكِتَاب (الجعديَات) أَنَّ عُمَرَ بن مُحَمَّد أَخْبَرَهم قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ الحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الخَطِيْب (١) ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو القَاسِمِ بنُ حَبَابَة، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو القَاسِمِ البَغَوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بنُ الجَعْد، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: (مَنْ قَالَ أَنَا فِي الجَنَّةِ، فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ) . هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ غَرِيْب (٢) . وَبِهِ: حَدَّثَنَا عليّ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُبَارَكُ بنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بنُ حُصَيْن: أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَعتق سِتَّة مَمْلُوْكين لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَوْته، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُم، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنهُم، وَأَعْتَقَ اثنِيْنِ، وَأَرَقَّ أَرْبَعَةً. إِسْنَادُهُ صَالِحٌ (٣) ، وَهُوَ نصٌّ فِي شرعيَّة القُرعَة فِي مِثْل هَذَا - وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ -.
