Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

by ʿAlī ibn Judʿān, from Anas, who said: “I informed the Messenger of Allah, and he replied, ‘Take it from your uncle.’ (1)

Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated—from Thābit and ʿAlī ibn Zayd—from Anas:
When Abū Ṭalḥah recited, ‘Go forth, whether light or heavy’ (Repentance 9:42), he declared, “Allah has summoned us and commanded us—both our elders and our youth. Equip me!”
His sons said, “May Allah have mercy on you! You campaigned in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and of Abū Bakr and ʿUmar; we shall go on your behalf now.”
Even so, he joined a sea-expedition, where he died. They could not find an island on which to bury him until seven days had passed, yet his body showed no change. (2)

He died in 34 AH, although Khalīfah alone said: 32 AH.

The ḥāfiẓ Abū Muḥammad told us: The Prophet ﷺ shaved one side of his head and distributed that hair among the people; then he shaved the other side and handed it to Abū Ṭalḥah. (3)
He added: Abū Ṭalḥah was strong, loud-voiced, of a brown complexion, medium in height, and he never dyed his grey hair. ʿUthmān led the funeral prayer for him.

Others said that he died in 51 AH.

He transmitted a little over twenty hadiths from the Prophet ﷺ, two of which are in the two Ṣaḥīḥs. Al-Bukhārī alone recorded one of them, and Muslim alone recorded one. (4)

(1) The chain of transmission is weak because of the weakness of Ali ibn Zayd. Al-Bazzar also recorded it (no. 1021) and remarked that Qatadah disagreed with Ali ibn Zayd in his version. He then cited it again (no. 1022) through Qatadah from Anas: “I saw Abu Talhah eating snow while he was fasting.” The version halted at Abu Talhah is the sound one, as already noted on p. 27, note 2. (2) The chain is sound. It is likewise found in Ibn Saad’s Tabaqat, 3/507, through Affan ibn Muslim from Hammad with the same isnad. (3) See Sahih Muslim 1306 (325) and (326), and al-Tirmidhi 912. (4) The first hadith is agreed upon: “The angels do not enter a house that contains a dog or a picture,” recorded by al-Bukhari 10/320 and Muslim 2106.
جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: (خُذْ عَنْ عَمِّكَ (١)) . حَمَّادُ بنُ سَلَمَةَ: عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، وَعَلَيِّ بنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ قَرَأَ: ﴿انْفِرُوا خِفَافاً وَثِقَالاً﴾ [التَّوْبَةُ: ٤٢] ، فَقَالَ: اسْتَنْفَرَنَا اللهُ وَأَمَرَنَا، شُيُوْخَنَا وَشَبَابَنَا، جَهِّزُوْنِي. فَقَالَ بَنُوْهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ! إِنَّكَ قَدْ غَزَوْتَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ، وَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ الآنَ. قَالَ: فَغَزَا البَحْرَ، فَمَاتَ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيْرَةً يَدْفِنُوْنَهُ فِيْهَا إِلاَّ بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ (٢) . مَاتَ: سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَلاَثِيْنَ. وَقَالَ خَلِيْفَةُ وَحْدَهُ: سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثِيْنَ. قَالَ لَنَا الحَافِظُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: حَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شِقَّ رَأْسِهِ، فَوَزَّعَهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ حَلَقَ شِقَّهُ الآخَرَ، فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ (٣) . قَالَ: وَكَانَ جَلْداً، صَيِّتاً، آدَمَ، مَرْبُوْعاً، لاَ يُغَيِّرُ شَيْبَهُ. صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ. وَقِيْلَ: مَاتَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى وَخَمْسِيْنَ. رَوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: نَيِّفاً وَعِشْرِيْنَ حَدِيْثاً، مِنْهَا فِي (الصَّحِيْحَيْنِ) حَدِيْثَانِ. وَتَفَرَّدَ البُخَارِيُّ بِحَدِيْثٍ، وَمُسْلِمٌ بِحَدِيْثٍ (٤) .
