—al-Ṭabarī—on the authority of Ḥusayn al-Dāriʿ, from ʿAbd al-Muʾmin; yet he dropped one link, merely saying: “from a man.”
Muḥammad ibn al-Jahm al-Simmarī (1) said: “ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Wāqid narrated to us; Shuʿayb ibn Yūnus narrated to us; Mūsā ibn Ṣuhayb, from Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shuraḥbīl, from a man, from Zayd (2).”
Muṭayyan also transmitted it in abridged form: “Thābit ibn Yaʿqūb narrated to us; Thābit ibn Ḥammād al-Naṣrī narrated to us; from Mūsā ibn Ṣuhayb, from ʿUbādah ibn Nusayy, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Awfā (3).”
Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-Halwānī said: “Shabābah ibn Sawwār narrated to us; Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Bāhilī—said to be named Jaʿfar ibn Marzūq—narrated to us; from Ghiyāth ibn Shuqayr; from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Sābiṭ; from Saʿīd ibn ʿĀmir al-Jumaḥī:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once said, ‘O Abū Bakr, come here! O ʿUmar, come here!’” He then related the hadith of brotherhood, but he differed in the names of the brothers, adding some and omitting others.
This narration is unique to Shabābah and is not authentic.
What is reliably preserved is that the Prophet paired the Emigrants with the Helpers so that mutual support and assistance could arise between the two groups.
Saʿīd ibn Zayd has forty-eight hadiths; the two Ṣaḥīḥs agree upon two of them, and al-Bukhārī alone records a third.
