Ghayat al-Maram fi Takhrij Ahadith al-Halal wa-l-HaramNasir al-Din al-Albani

Messenger of Allah, this is how we support him when he is wronged; but how do we support him when he is an oppressor?” He replied: “You restrain him from wrongdoing; that is how you support him.” Narrated by al-Bukhārī.) p. 238

Authentic. It is documented in Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl.

307 — (Al-Bukhārī narrated that Abū Dharr and Bilāl the Abyssinian—may Allah be pleased with them both—became angry with one another and exchanged insults. In a fit of anger, Abū Dharr said to Bilāl, “You son of a black woman!” Bilāl complained about him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said to Abū Dharr: “Did you insult him on account of his mother? You are a man in whom there is a trait of the Age of Ignorance.”) p. 238.

Authentic, but not in this form. It was narrated by al-Bukhārī (1/16, 2/124), as well as Muslim (5/92–93) and Ahmad (5/161), from al-Maʿrūr ibn Suwayd, who said:

“I saw Abū Dharr al-Ghifārī wearing a set of garments, while his servant was wearing a similar set. We asked him about this, and he replied: ‘I once exchanged insults with a man, and he complained about me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet said to me: “Did you insult him on account of his mother?…”’” In the first passage, he added: “You are a man in whom there is a trait of the Age of Ignorance.” This is al-Bukhārī’s wording. As you can see, it neither mentions Bilāl nor contains the words, “You son of a black woman!” The compiler took that from Fath al-Bārī (1/80–81) by al-Hāfiz, who did not attribute it to al-Bukhārī. Thus, what the author has done plainly amounts to attributing to al-Bukhārī something that is not found in his work.

308 — (Abū Dharr reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: “Take heed: you are no better than any red or black person unless you surpass him in fear of Allah.” Narrated by Ahmad.) p. 239

Sound. Ahmad narrated it (5/158) by way of Abū Hilāl, from Bakr, from Abū Dharr. Al-Mundhirī said in al-Targhīb (4/33): “Ahmad narrated it, and its transmitters are well-known and trustworthy, except that Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Muzanī did not hear from Abū Dharr.”

I say: Its chain is therefore disconnected. Abū Hilāl’s name was Muhammad ibn Sulaym al-Rāsibī; he was generally truthful, though there was some weakness in him. Thus, the chain is weak. It is, however, supported and strengthened by the hadith of Abū Saʿīd—

رسول الله هذا نصره مظلوماً فكيف نصره ظالماً ؟ قال : تمنعه من الظلم ، فذلك نصر له . البخاري ) . ص ٢٣٨ صحيح . وهو مخرج في « إرواء الغليل » . ٣٠٧ - ( روى البخاري أن أبا ذر وبلالاً الحبشي رضي الله عنهما تغاضبا وتسابا ، وفي ثورة الغضب قال أبو ذر لبلال : يا ابن السوداء ! فشكاه بلال إلى النبي ﷺ ، فقال النبي ﷺ لأبي ذر : أعيرته بأمه ؟ إنك امرؤ فيك جاهلية ) . ص ٢٣٨ . صحيح بغير هذا السياق . أخرجه البخاري ( ١/١٦ ، ٢/١٢٤ ) وكذا مسلم ( ٥/٩٢ - ٩٣ ) وأحمد ( ٥/١٦١ ) عن المعرور بن سويد قال : « رأيت أبا ذر الغفاري عليه حلة ، وعلى غلامه حلة ، فسألناه عن ذلك ؟ فقال : إني سابيت رجلاً فشكاني إلى النبي ﷺ ، فقال لي النبي ﷺ : أعيرته بأمه . . . زاد في الموضع الأول : « إنك امرؤ فيك جاهلية » . هذا لفظ البخاري . وهو كما ترى ليس فيه ذكر لبلال ولا قوله : يا ابن السوداء . وإنما أخذ المصنف ذلك من « فتح الباري » ( ١/٨٠ - ٨١ ) للحافظ ، وهذا لم يعز ذلك للبخاري ، ففي صنيع المؤلف ما لا يخفى من العز والبخاري ما ليس عنده . ٣٠٨ - ( وعن أبي ذر أن النبي ﷺ قال له : انظر فانك لست بخير من أحمر ولا أسود ، إلا أن تفضله بتقوى الله . أحمد ) ص ٢٣٩ حسن . أخرجه أحمد ( ٥/١٥٨ ) من طريق أبي هلال عن بكر عن أبي ذر . قال المنذري في « الترغيب » ( ٤/٣٣ ) : « رواه أحمد ورواته ثقات مشهورون إلا أن بكر بن عبد الله المزني لم يسمع من أبي ذر » . قلت : فهو منقطع ، وأبو هلال اسمه محمد بن سليم الراسبي وهو صدوق فيه لين . فالسند ضعيف . لكن يشهد له ويقويه حديث أبي سعيد
