1009 — “All people are the children of Adam, and Adam was from soil.”

Ibn Saʿd narrated it in al-Ṭabaqāt (1/5): Muḥammad ibn Ḥumayd Abū Sufyān al-ʿAbdī informed us, from Sufyān ibn Saʿīd al-Thawrī, from Hishām ibn Saʿd, from Saʿīd al-Maqburī, from Abū Hurayrah, attributing it to the Prophet.

I say: This is a good chain of transmission. All its narrators are reliable and are narrators of Muslim. Were it not for the errors made by this Hishām, I would have judged it authentic. Abū Dāwūd and others also narrated it at length, as I explained in Takhrīj al-Ḥalāl wa-al-Ḥarām (Documentation of The Lawful and the Prohibited), no. 312.

1010 — “He prohibited mutʿah [at the time of the Conquest—temporary marriage with women] and said: ‘Indeed, it is forbidden from this day of yours until the Day of Resurrection.’”

Muslim (4/134) and al-Bāghandī, in Musnad ʿUmar, p. 12, narrated it from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, who said: al-Rabīʿ ibn Sabrah al-Juhanī narrated to us from his father, attributing it to the Prophet. The addition enclosed in brackets is Muslim’s narration through the route of Ibn Shihāb, from al-Rabīʿ ibn Sabrah.

It has a corroborating report with the wording: “They are forbidden until the Day of Resurrection”—that is, the women taken in temporary marriage. Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Awsaṭ (1/174/2), from Ṣadaqah ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Ismāʿīl ibn Umayyah, from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī, who said: “We set out, accompanied by the women with whom we had contracted temporary marriages. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then said the preceding words.” He said: “They then bade us farewell, and for that reason the pass came to be called the Farewell Pass; before that, it had only been called the Riders’ Pass.”

Al-Haythamī declared it defective in al-Majmaʿ (4/264), saying:
