Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Those who transmitted from him were his sons—al-Ḥārith, ʿUmar, Ibrāhīm, and Luqmān—together with his grandson ʿUthmān ibn Ibrāhīm al-Jumaḥī; in addition, Simāk ibn Ḥarb, Saʿd ibn Ibrāhīm al-Zuhrī, and Abū Balj Yaḥyā ibn Sulaym also narrated from him.

He was a foster-brother of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar ibn Abī Ṭālib.

Some held that he was the first person to be given the name Muḥammad after the coming of Islam, whereas Muḥammad ibn Maslamah al-Anṣārī (1) had borne the name Muḥammad before the Prophet’s mission.

Muḥammad ibn Ḥāṭib’s kunya was Abū Ibrāhīm.

Zakariyyā ibn Abī Zāʾida related, on the authority of Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥāṭib, who said:

“I once reached for a cooking pot and my hand was burnt. My mother took me to a man who was seated and said to him, ‘O Messenger of Allah!’ She brought me close to him, and he began to blow lightly while uttering words I did not understand. Afterwards I asked my mother, ‘What was he saying?’ She replied, ‘He was saying: “Remove the suffering, Lord of mankind; grant healing, for You are the Healer—there is no healer but You.” (2)’”

Muḥammad ibn Bishr al-ʿAbdī heard this narration from him, and it is corroborated by Shurayk, Shuʿbah, and Misʿar.

It was recorded by al-Nasāʾī.

Muḥammad ibn Ḥāṭib died in 74 AH.

= al-Dhahabi. In the same section there is the report of ʿAbd Allah b. al-Zubayr, in which the Prophet said: “Make the marriage public.” Al-Haythami remarks in Majmaʿ al-zawaʾid 4/289 that the hadith was transmitted by Ahmad, al-Bazzar, and al-Tabarani in both al-Kabir and al-Awsat; the transmitters used by Ahmad are trustworthy. Ibn Hibban (no. 1285) and al-Hakim (2/183) declared it authentic, and al-Dhahabi agreed. (1) Al-Awsi al-Harthi al-Madani, an ally of Banu ʿAbd al-Ashhal. According to al-Waqidi he was born twenty-two years before the prophetic mission. He accepted Islam at the hands of Musʿab b. ʿUmayr, before Saʿd b. Muʿadh, and the Messenger of Allah paired him in brotherhood with Abu ʿUbayda. He fought at Badr and in all subsequent campaigns except Tabuk, from which he remained in Medina with the Prophet’s permission. (2) The isnad is hasan (reliable). Ahmad also recorded it, 3/418 and 4/259, through multiple chains that go back to Simak b. Harb.

= الذهبي. وفي الباب عن عبد الله بن الزبير أن النبي ﷺ قال: " أعلنوا النكاح " قال الهيثمي في " المجمع " ٤ / ٢٨٩: رواه أحمد، والبزار، والطبراني في " الكبير " و" الأوسط "، ورجال أحمد ثقات، وصححه ابن حبان (١٢٨٥) ، والحاكم ٢ / ١٨٣، ووافقه الذهبي. (١) الأوسي الحارثي المدني، حليف بني عبد الاشهل، ولد قبل البعثة باثنتين وعشرين سنة في قول الواقدي، وأسلم على يدي مصعب بن عمير، قبل سعد بن معاذ، وآخى رسول الله ﷺ بينه وبين أبي عبيدة، وشهد المشاهد بدرا وما بعدها إلا غزوة تبوك، فإنه تخلف بإذن النبي ﷺ أن يقيم بالمدينة. (٢) سنده حسن، وأخرجه أحمد ٣ / ٤١٨ و٤ / ٢٥٩ من طرق عن سماك بن حرب به.
