Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

He also said: In the disciplines of hadith—its collection and classification—he was a devout imam. He had his teeth bound with gold and never dyed his grey hair.

It is reported that he lived for eighty-two years.

He served as deputy judge on behalf of al-Birtī in al-Qaṣr and its districts (1). He became known as “al-Maʿmarī” because he was the son of Umm al-Ḥasan, daughter of Sufyān, son of the shaykh Abū Sufyān Muḥammad ibn Ḥumayd al-Maʿmarī. Abū Sufyān had travelled to Yemen to study with Maʿmar, and for that reason he was called “al-Maʿmarī.” Allah knows best (2).

Abū Saʿīd al-Thaghrī (3) narrated to us in Aleppo; ʿAbd al-Laṭīf ibn Yūsuf informed us; ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq ibn Yūsuf informed us; ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad informed us; Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ḥammāmī informed us; Ibn Qāniʿ reported to us; al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-Maʿmarī narrated to us; Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us; ʿAmr ibn Wāqid narrated from Mūsā ibn Yasār, from Makḥūl, from Junāda ibn Abī Umayya, from Ḥabīb ibn Maslama:

“The Prophet ﷺ allotted the salab (the personal effects of the slain enemy) to the killer.” (4)

(1) This is how the original reads; the same wording appears in al-Bidaya wa-l-Nihaya, 11/106, in al-Muntazam, 6/79, and in Badran’s Tahdhib, 4/202: “over Basra and its dependencies.” (2) See: Ibn ʿAsakir, Tarikh, MS, fol. 4/244 b. (3) His biography is found in al-Dhahabi, Mashyakha, MS, fol. 55. (4) The chain—besides being broken—is very weak, for ʿAmr b. Waqid is discarded. Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Kabir through three routes from Hisham b. ʿAmmar with this same isnad. Al-Haythami cited it in Majmaʿ, 5/331, attributing it to al-Tabarani in both al-Kabir and al-Awsat and judging it defective because of ʿAmr b. Waqid. The wording of the hadith, however, is soundly established from the companion Abu Qatada b. Ribʿi: Malik transmitted it in the Muwattaʾ, 2/454–455; from him al-Bukhari (8/29, Book of Maghazi), Muslim (no. 1751), Abu Dawud (2717), and al-Tirmidhi (1562) likewise reported it with the wording: “Whoever kills an enemy combatant and can produce evidence for it is entitled to his spoils.”
قَالَ: وَكَانَ فِي الحَدِيْث وَجمعه وَتصنيفه إِمَاماً رَبَّانِيّاً، وَقَدْ شدَّ أَسنَانه بِالذَّهَبِ، وَلَمْ يُغَيِّرْ شَيْبَه. وَقِيْلَ: عَاشَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِيْنَ سَنَةً. وَقَدْ كَانَ نَاب فِي القَضَاءِ، عَنِ البِرْتِيّ بِالقصر وَأَعمَالِهَا (١) ، وَشُهِر بِالمَعْمَرِيّ لأَنَّهُ ابْن أُمّ الحَسَن بِنْت سُفْيَان بن الشَّيْخ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مُحَمَّد بن حُمَيْد المَعْمَرِيّ، وَكَانَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ ارْتَحَلَ إِلَى اليَمَن إِلَى مَعْمَر، فلذَا قِيْلَ لَهُ: المَعْمَرِيّ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ (٢) . أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيْدٍ الثَّغرِيّ (٣) بِحَلَب، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْد اللَّطِيْف بن يُوْسُف، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْد الحَقّ بن يُوْسُف، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيّ بن مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الحَسَن الحمَامِيّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قَانِع، حَدَّثَنَا الحَسَن بن عَلِيّ المَعْمَرِيّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَام بن عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بن وَاقِد، عَنْ مُوْسَى بنِ يَسَار، عَنْ مَكْحُوْل، عَنْ جُنَادَة بن أَبِي أُمَيَّة، عَنْ حَبِيب بن مَسْلَمَة: (أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جعل السَّلَب للقَاتل) (٤) .
(١) كذا الأصل، ومثله في " البداية والنهاية ": ١١ / ١٠٦، وفي المنتظم: ٦ / ٧٩، وتهذيب بدران: ٤ / ٢٠٢: " على البصرة وأعمالها ". (٢) انظر: تاريخ ابن عساكر: خ: ٤ / ٢٤٤ ب. (٣) ترجمته في " مشيخة " الذهبي: خ: ق: ٥٥. (٤) إسناده على انقطاعه ضعيف جدا، فإن عمرو بن واقد متروك، وأخرجه الطبراني في " الكبير " من ثلاثة طرق عن هشام بن عمار بهذا الإسناد، وأورده الهيثمي في " المجمع " ٥ / ٣٣١، ونسبه للطبراني في " الكبير " و" الأوسط " وأعله بعمرو بن واقد، وقد ثبت متن الحديث من حديث أبي قتادة بن ربعي أخرجه مالك في " الموطأ " ٢ / ٤٥٤، ٤٥٥، وعنه البخاري ٨ / ٢٩ في المغازي، ومسلم (١٧٥١) ، وأبو داود (٢٧١٧) ، والترمذي (١٥٦٢) بلفظ: " من قتل قتيلا له عليه بينة، فله سلبه ".
