in Jāmiʿ Bayān al-ʿIlm (1/59). Its other narration, as well as the addition, is also recorded by him. Al-Diyāʾ al-Maqdisī likewise recorded it in al-Mukhtārah (1/512–513). All of them narrate through Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī: Hammād ibn Salamah narrated to us from Thābit, from Anas, who said: he then mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī said, “A good, authentic, singular hadith.” Al-Hākim said, “Authentic according to Muslim’s criterion,” and al-Dhahabī agreed with him. They were correct.
Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī was Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd, the compiler of the well-known Musnad bearing his name; however, this hadith is not found in it. In al-Diyāʾ’s narration, Bishr ibn al-Sirrī is cited alongside him. Al-Sahmī recorded it through Bishr alone in Tārīkh Jurjān (497), as did Abū Nuʿaym in al-Ḥilyah (8/302), which contains the addition and its further wording. This Bishr was trustworthy and among the narrators of al-Bukhārī and Muslim; thus, he provides a strong corroborating narration for Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī.
- “Indeed, Allah does not wrong a believer with respect to a single good deed: he is rewarded for it with provision in this world and recompensed for it in the Hereafter. As for the disbeliever, he is given in this world for his good deeds [which he did for Allah]; but when he meets Allah on the Day of Resurrection, he will have no good deed for which he may be granted any good.”
Ahmad recorded it (3/125)—and this is his wording—and Muslim (8/135)—from whom the addition comes—as did ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd in al-Muntakhab (fol. 155/1), through Hammām ibn Yaḥyā, from Qatādah, from Anas: the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it.
