Ibn Mājah also recorded it (4138) through Ibn Luhayʿah, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Jaʿfar and Ḥumayd ibn Hāniʾ al-Khawlānī, both of whom said that they heard Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥublī relate it from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr in similar wording.
Ibn Luhayʿah’s memory was poor, yet he is acceptable when his report merely corroborates that of others.
(NOTE)
Al-Suyūṭī, in both al-Ṣaghīr and al-Kabīr (2/95/1), attributed the ḥadīth to Muslim and to the other collections we mentioned—excluding al-Bayhaqī. Al-Manāwī objected, saying, “He only followed what ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq cited. In al-Manār he states: ‘Muslim does not report it; it is found only in al-Tirmidhī….’”
I say: This is an error—first by the author of al-Manār and then by al-Manāwī—for the ḥadīth is indeed located in Muslim in the place we pointed out, in the “Book of Zakāh.”
The ḥadīth highlights the virtue of modest sufficiency and of being content with it; the same meaning appears in the forthcoming narration:
“O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad only qūt (bare subsistence).”
