Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Asad al-Qurtubi; Abū Jaʿfar ibn ʿAwn Allah; and the judge Abū ʿAbd Allah Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mufarrij.

Ibn Ḥazm used to commend his abridged Ṣaḥīḥ, though it contains a number of singular reports.

He passed away in Muḥarram of 353 AH.

His narrations are rare in our lands and difficult to obtain except by travelling to where they are held.

Ahmad ibn Salamah the Qurʾān-reciter wrote to me, reporting from Muhammad ibn Ḥamd, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Mawṣilī; ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Aḥmad the ḥadīth master informed us; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿUmar al-Mālikī narrated to us; Abū ʿAlī Saʿīd ibn ʿUthmān the ḥadīth master told us; ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn ʿĪsā related to us; Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl reported to us; Ḥātim ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us; ʿAbd Allah ibn Muslim ibn Hurmuz narrated to us, from Saʿīd and Muhammad the sons of ʿUbayd, from Abū Ḥātim—may Allah be pleased with him—who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you seeking marriage, then marry him. If you do not, there will be tribulation in the land and widespread corruption.” (1)

Abū ʿAlī said: This Abū Ḥātim is a Companion, and he transmitted nothing other than this hadith.

Among those who died in that same year was the Musnid of Isfahān, Abū Jaʿfar Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn

(1) Al-Tirmidhi also transmitted it (no. 1085) in the Book of Marriage, chapter “If someone whose religion pleases you comes to propose, then marry him off,” through the isnad of Muhammad b. Amr al-Sawwaq al-Balkhi from Hatim b. Ismail. He commented: “This is a hasan gharib hadith. Abu Hatim al-Muzani was a Companion, and no other report from the Prophet is known from him.” I note that al-Tirmidhi’s grading of “hasan” is based on the supporting narration from Abu Hurayra, not on this particular chain, for Abd Allah b. Muslim b. Hurmuz is weak. The Abu Hurayra version was recorded by al-Tirmidhi (no. 1084), Ibn Majah (no. 1967), and al-Hakim 2/165; its isnad likewise contains a weak narrator.
اللهِ بنُ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ أَسَدٍ القُرْطُبِيُّ، وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ بنُ عَوْنِ اللهِ، وَالقَاضِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بنُ أَحْمَدَ بنِ مفرَّجٍ. كَانَ ابْنُ حَزْمٍ يُثنِي عَلَى (صحيحِهِ) المُنتقَى، وَفِيْهِ غَرَائِبٌ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي المُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ ثَلاَثٍ وَخَمْسِيْنَ وَثَلاَثِ مائَةٍ. وَحَدِيْثُهُ يعزُّ وَقوعُهُ لَنَا، وَيعسُرُ إِلاَّ بنزولٍ. كتبَ إِلَيَّ أَحْمَدُ بنُ سلاَمةٍ المُقْرِئُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ حمْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بنِ الحُسَيْنِ المَوْصِلِيِّ، أَنْبَأَنَا عبدُ الرَّحِيْمِ بنُ أَحْمَدَ الحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عبدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عُمَرَ المَالِكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ سَعِيْدُ بنُ عُثْمَانَ الحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ بنُ عِيْسَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيْلَ. حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بنُ إِسْمَاعِيْلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بنُ مُسْلِمِ بنِ هرمزٍ، عَنْ سَعِيْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدٍ ابْني عُبيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ ﵁ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: (إِذَا جَاءكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِيْنَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْكِحُوهُ، إِنْ لاَ تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيْضٌ (١)) . قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ: أَبوْ حَاتمٍ هَذَا صحَابِيٌّ، مَا رَوَى شَيْئاً سِوَى هَذَا الحَدِيْثِ. وَمِمَّنْ مَاتَ مَعَهُ فِي العَامِ مُسْنِدُ أَصْبَهَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بنُ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ بنِ
(١) وأخرجه الترمذي (١٠٨٥) في النكاح: باب ما جاء إذا جاءكم من ترضون دينه فزوجوه، من طريق محمد بن عمرو السواق البلخي، عن حاتم بن إسماعيل بهذا الإسناد، وقال: هذا حديث حسن غريب، وأبو حاتم المزني له صحبة، ولا يعرف له عن النبي ﷺ غير هذا الحديث. قلت: تحسين الترمذي له بشاهده عن ابي هريرة لا بهذا السند، فان عبد الله بن مسلم بن هرمز ضعيف. وحديث ابي هريرة أخرجه الترمذي (١٠٨٤) ، وابن ماجه (١٩٦٧) ، والحاكم ٢ / ١٦٥ وفي سنده ضعيف.
