Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Ibn Ḥammūyah al-Muzakkī, and a great many others besides.

Abū al-Faḍl Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allah related to us—in the reading I presented to him in 696 AH—from ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad al-Harawī. He was informed by Tamīm ibn Abī Saʿīd al-Qaṣṣār; he was informed by Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān in 449 AH; he was informed by the ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Naysābūrī; he was informed by Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq; ʿAlī ibn Ḥujr narrated to us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Ḥuṣayn narrated from Abū Umayyah, who reported that Ḥabīb told him, on the authority of Zirr ibn Ḥubaysh:

He came to Ṣafwān ibn ʿAssāl—who was one of the Companions—and said to him, “What has brought you here?”
They replied, “We have left our homes seeking knowledge.”
He said, “Whoever leaves his house in pursuit of knowledge, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge.”

He then asked him about wiping over leather socks. Ṣafwān said, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about it, and he allotted to the traveller three days and their nights, and to the resident one day and one night. I do not mean in the state of major ritual impurity, but only after defecation, urination, or sleep.”

The ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad commented: “This is a singular (gharīb) report through Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit. I know of no one who has transmitted it except Abū Umayyah ʿAbd al-Karīm ibn Abī al-Mukhāriq (1); his father’s name was Qays.”

Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allah ibn Aḥmad related to us, from ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muḥammad; Zāhir ibn Ṭāhir informed us; Abū Saʿd al-Kanjarūdhī narrated to us; Bishr ibn Muḥammad the judge narrated to us; Ibn Khuzaymah informed us; Aḥmad ibn Naṣr al-Muqriʾ informed us; Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, known as Maḥbūb, informed us; Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ narrated to us, from Abū Qilābah, from ʿAmr ibn Salamah, who said:

“Caravans used to come to us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I would learn from them one verse or two, and they would inform us that…”

(1) The chain is weak, as stated in Ibn Hajar’s al-Taqrib. The extended version of the report is transmitted by Ahmad, 4/240, and by al-Tirmidhi, no. 3529 in the section “Supplications: On the Merit of Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness,” through Sufyan ibn Uyayna, from Asim ibn Abi al-Najud, from Zur, who said: “I came to Safwan ibn Assal al-Muradi….” This isnad is sound (hasan), and it was declared sahih by Ibn Hibban, no. 186, and Ibn Khuzayma, no. 196.
ابْنِ حَمُّوَيْه المُزَكِّي، وَخَلْقٌ كَثِيْرٌ. أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الفَضْلِ أَحْمَدُ بنُ هِبَةِ اللهِ - فِيْمَا قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَتِسْعِيْنَ وَسِتِّ مائَةٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ المُعَزِّ بنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الهَرَوِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا تَمِيْمُ بنُ أَبِي سَعِيْدٍ القَصَّارُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَأَرْبَعِيْنَ وَأَرْبَعِ مائَةٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّيْسَابُوْرِيُّ، الحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيْزِ بنُ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّ حَبِيْباً أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ زِرِّ بنِ حُبَيْشٍ: أَنَّهُ أَتَى صَفْوَانَ بنَ عَسَّالٍ - وَكَانَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ - فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا جَاءَ بِكُم؟ قَالُوا: خَرَجْنَا مِنْ بُيُوْتِنَا لابتِغَاءِ العِلْمِ. قَالَ: إِنَّهُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ لابتِغَاءِ العِلْمِ، فَإِنَّ المَلاَئِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجنِحَتَهَا لِمُبتَغِي العِلْمِ. فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ المَسحِ عَلَى الخُفَّيْنِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيْهِنَّ، وَلِلْمُقِيْمِ يَوْماً وَلَيلَةً، لاَ أَقُولُ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ، أَوْ بَوْلٍ، أَوْ نَوْمٍ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الحَافِظُ: غَرِيْبٌ مِنْ حَدِيْثِ حَبِيْبِ بنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، لاَ أَعْلَمُ حَدَّثَ بِهِ غَيْرُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ عَبْدِ الكَرِيْمِ بنِ أَبِي المُخَارِقِ (١) ، وَاسْمُ أَبِيْهِ: قَيْسٌ. أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بنُ هِبَةِ اللهِ بنِ أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المُعِزِّ بنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَاهِرُ بنُ طَاهِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الكَنْجَرُوْذِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الحَاكِمُ، أَخْبَرْنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بنُ نَصْرٍ المُقْرِئُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ الحَسَنِ البَصْرِيُّ مَحْبُوْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بنِ سَلِمَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَتِ الرُّكبَانُ تَأْتِينَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَلَقَّى مِنْهُمُ الآيَةَ وَالآيَتَيْنِ، فَكَانُوا يُخْبِرُونَا: أَنَّ
(١) وهو ضعيف كما في " التقريب ". وأخرج الحديث مطولا أحمد: ٤ / ٢٤٠، والترمذي (٣٥٢٩) في الدعوات: باب في فضل التوبة والاستغفار، من طريق سفيان بن عيينة، عن عاصم بن أبي النجود، عن زر، قال: أتيت صفوان بن عسال المرادي..وهذا سند حسن، وصححه ابن حبان (١٨٦) وابن خزيمة (١٩٦) .
