Ismāʿīl, who said: Saʿīd al-Jurayrī told us, from Abū Nadra, who said: Someone who heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deliver a sermon in the midst of the Days of Tashrīq told me that he said: “O people! Your Lord is one, and your father is one. Take heed: an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab; nor does a red person have any superiority over a black person, or a black person over a red person, except through fear of Allah. Have I conveyed the message?” They replied: “The Messenger of Allah has conveyed it.” He then asked: “What day is this?” . . . . I say: This chain is authentic, and the Companion being unidentified does not impair it, as is well known. Ibn Taymiyya therefore said in al-Iqtidā (p. 69): “Its chain is authentic.”
Abū Nuʿaym also narrated it in al-Hilya (3/100) through Shayba Abū Qilāba al-Qaysī, from al-Jurayrī, from Abū Nadra, from Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us in the midst of the Days of Tashrīq during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said”—then he related the hadith.

“This report is singular among the narrations of Abū Nadra from Jābir. We recorded it only through Abū Qilāba.”

Al-Dūlābī mentioned him in al-Kunā (2/84) under this kunyah, personal name, and tribal affiliation, and cited another hadith of his with this same chain. He offered neither criticism nor endorsement of his reliability, as is generally his practice. It appears that he is the person whose unknown status al-Mundhirī referred to above. Allah knows best.
314 — (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said): “He is not one of us who slaps his cheeks, tears open his collars, and utters the cries of the pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance.” Al-Bukhārī narrated it in the “Book of Funerals” in his Sahīh (p. 241).
Authentic. Muslim and other compilers of Sunnah collections also narrated it from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd (may Allah be pleased with him). It is fully referenced in al-Irwā.
