Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Qutaybah reported: al-Layth—and another transmitter—narrated to us from ʿAyyāsh ibn ʿAbbās, from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥubulī, who said: I heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr say:
“To be the tenth of ten poor men on the Day of Resurrection is dearer to me than to be the tenth of ten wealthy men, for those who possess abundance will be the fewest on the Day of Resurrection—except for the one who does like this and like that,” meaning: who gives charity to the right and to the left. (1)

Hushaym narrated from Mughīrah and Ḥuṣayn, from Mujāhid, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, who said:
“My father married me to a woman of Quraysh. When she was brought in to me, I paid her no attention because I was wholly absorbed in worship. My father went to his daughter-in-law and asked, ‘How have you found your husband?’ She replied, ‘An excellent man—yet he has not lifted a curtain for me, nor has he approached my bed.’
“He then came to me, rebuked me sharply, and said, ‘I married you to a woman of noble lineage, yet you have caused her distress and behaved as you have!’
“He left and complained about me to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet summoned me, and when I came he asked, ‘Do you fast by day and stand in prayer by night?’ I answered, ‘Yes.’
“He said, ‘But I fast and I break my fast; I pray and I sleep; and I have relations with women. Whoever turns away from my sunnah is not of me.’ (2)

The narrator adds: ʿAbd Allāh inherited from his father qanaṭīr muqantara—vast hoards—of Egyptian gold, and so he was counted among the “kings” of the Companions.

(1) Its transmitters are trustworthy. The report appears in al-Hilya 1/288, where the name ‘Abbas has been misread as ‘Ayyash. Ibn ‘Asakir also reproduces it, pp. 241–242. (2) Its transmitters are trustworthy. Ahmad records it in the Musnad 2/158 with the same chain. Al-Bukhari cites a shorter version in the chapter on the virtues of the Quran (9/82) through the isnad: Musa ibn Isma‘il – Abu ‘Awana – Mughira – Mujahid – ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr, who said: “My father married me to a woman of noble lineage. He used to visit his daughter-in-law and ask her about her husband. She would reply, ‘An excellent man: he has not touched our bed nor inspected our quarters since we arrived.’ When this went on for some time, he mentioned it to the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: ‘Bring him to me …’ ” Al-kinnah (daughter-in-law) is the son’s wife. Her words “he has not inspected our kanf” employ kanf (lit. side), meaning he had not come near her or seen from her what husbands normally see from their wives. The woman’s name was Umm Muhammad bint Muhmiyah ibn Juz’ al-Zubaydi, an ally of Quraysh, as reported by al-Zubayr.
قُتَيْبَةُ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، وَآخَرُ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الحُبُلِيِّ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بنَ عَمْرٍو، يَقُوْلُ: لأَنْ أَكُوْنَ عَاشِرَ عَشْرَةِ مَسَاكِيْنَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكُوْنَ عَاشِرَ عَشْرَةِ أَغْنِيَاءَ، فَإِنَّ الأَكْثَرِيْنَ هُمُ الأَقَلُّوْنَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، إِلاَّ مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، يَقُوْلُ: يَتَصَدَّقُ يَمِيْناً وَشِمَالاً (١) . هُشَيْمٌ: عَنْ مُغِيْرَةَ وَحُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: زَوَّجَنِي أَبِي امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ، جَعَلْتُ لاَ أَنْحَاشُ لَهَا مِمَّا بِي مِنَ القُوَّةِ عَلَى العِبَادَةِ. فَجَاءَ أَبِي إِلَى كِنَّتِهِ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ وَجَدْتِ بَعْلَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: خَيْرُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُفَتِّشْ لَهَا كَنَفاً، وَلَمْ يَقْرَبْ لَهَا فِرَاشاً. قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ، وَعَضَّنِي بِلِسَانِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْكَحْتُكَ امْرَأَةً ذَاتَ حَسَبٍ، فَعَضَلْتَهَا، وَفَعَلْتَ. ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، فَشَكَانِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَطَلَبَنِي، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي: (أَتَصُوْمُ النَّهَارَ، وَتَقُوْمُ اللَّيْلَ؟) . قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: (لَكِنِّي أَصُوْمُ وَأُفْطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَنَامُ، وَأَمَسُّ النِّسَاءَ، فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي (٢)) . قُلْتُ: وَرِثَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِنْ أَبِيْهِ قَنَاطِيْرَ مُقَنْطَرَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ المِصْرِيِّ، فَكَانَ مِنْ مُلُوْكِ الصَّحَابَةِ.
(١) رجاله ثقات، وهو في " الحلية " ١ / ٢٨٨، وقد تصحف فيه " عباس " إلى " عياش ". واقتبسه ابن عساكر: ٢٤١، ٢٤٢. (٢) رجاله ثقات، وأخرجه أحمد في " المسند " ٢ / ١٥٨ بهذا الإسناد، وأخرجه البخاري: ٩ / ٨٢ في فضائل القرآن بأحصر مما هنا من طريق موسى بن إسماعيل، عن أبي عوانة، عن مغيرة، عن مجاهد، عن عبد الله بن عمرو قال: " أنكحني أبي امرأة ذات حسب، فكان يتعاهد كنته، فيسألها عن بعلها، فتقول: نعم الرجل من رجل لم يطألنا فراشا، ولم يفتش لنا كنفا منذ أتيناه " فلما طال ذلك عليه، ذكر للنبي ﷺ، فقال: القني به ... والكنة: زوج الولد، وقولها: " لم يفتش لنا كنفا ": الكنف: الجانب، أرادت أنه لم يقربها، ولم يطلع منها على ما جرت به عادة الرجال مع نسائهم. واسم المرأة: أم محمد بنت محمية بن جزء الزبيدي حليف قريش، ذكرها الزبير.
