Silsilat al-Ahadith al-SahihahNasir al-Din al-Albani

Ibn al-Zubayr said to his father: “My dear father, narrate to me from the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—so that I may narrate from you; for every son of the Companions narrates from his father.” He replied:

“My son, there was no one who accompanied the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—without my having accompanied him as much as he did, or more. You know, my son, that your mother, Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr, was my wife; and you know that ʿĀʾishah bint Abī Bakr is your maternal aunt; and you know that my mother was Ṣafiyyah bint ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, and that my maternal uncles were Ḥamzah, Abū Ṭālib, and al-ʿAbbās; and that the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—was my cousin. You also know that my paternal aunt, Khadījah bint Khuwaylid, was his wife, and that her daughter was Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him. You know that his mother was Āminah bint Wahb ibn ʿAbd Manāf ibn Zuhrah, and that the mother of Ṣafiyyah and Ḥamzah was Hālah bint Wahb. I accompanied him in the best of companionship, praise be to Allah, and I heard him say …” He then mentioned the hadith.

It was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (6982, al-Muʾassasah edition) and al-Ḥākim (3/361), and neither he nor al-Dhahabī commented on it. I say:

Its chain of transmission is weak, due to the unknown status—or weakness—of al-Zubayr ibn Khubayb, spelled with the dotted khāʾ, as in al-Ikmāl. In al-Kāmil, al-Mīzān, al-Lisān, and elsewhere, it appears with the undotted ḥāʾ. Only two people narrated from him, and al-Dhahabī said: “There is some weakness in him.” See al-Ḍaʿīfah, no. 6100, where I concluded that he was truthful.

Yaʿqūb—namely, Yaʿqūb ibn Ṣadīq ibn Mūsā al-Zubayrī al-Madanī—was ʿAtīq’s father, and I have not found a biographical notice for him. As for his son ʿAtīq, he was trustworthy: al-Dāraquṭnī declared him trustworthy, Abū Zurʿah narrated from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān included him in al-Thiqāt (8/527). Before this, however, he gave a biographical entry for another man (8/225), naming his father “Muḥammad.” Al-Ḥāfiẓ therefore assumed in al-Lisān that Ibn Ḥibbān did not know his lineage, which was an error on the part of

قال ابن الزبير لأبيه: يا أبت! حدثني عن رسول الله ﷺ حتى أحدث عنك؛ فإن كل أبناء الصحابة يحدث عن أبيه، قال: يا بني! ما من أحد صحب النبي ﷺ بصحبة إلا وقد صحبته بمثلها أو أفضل، ولقد علمت يا بني! أن أمك أسماء بنت أبي بكر كانت تحتي، ولقد علمت أن عائشة بنت أبي بكر خالتك، ولقد علمت أن أمي صفية بنت عبد المطلب، وأن أخوالي حمزة وأبو طالب والعباس، وأن رسول الله ﷺ ابن خالي، ولقد علمت أن عمتي خديجة بنت خويلد كانت تحته، وأن ابنتها فاطمة بنت رسول الله ﷺ ولقد علمت أن أمه آمنة بنت وهب بن عبد مناف بن زهرة، وأن أم صفية وحمزة: هالة بنت وهب، ولقد صحبته بأحسن صُحْبَةٍ والحمد الله، ولقد سمعته يقول ... فذكر الحديث. أخرجه ابن حبان (٦٩٨٢- المؤسسة) ، والحاكم (٣/٣٦١) ، وسكت عنه هو والذهبي، وأقول: إسناده ضعيف؛ لجهالة - أو ضعف - الزبير بن خبيب - بالخاء المعجمة كما في "الإكمال "، ووقع في "الكامل " و "الميزان " و "اللسان " وغيرها بالحاء المهملة! - لم يرو عنه غير اثنين، وقال الذهبي: "فيه لين ". وانظر "الضعيفة" رقم (٦١٠٠) فقد رجحت فيه أنه صدوق. ويعقوب - هو ابن صديق بن موسى الزبيري المدني - والد عتيق، ولم أجد له ترجمة، وأما ابنه عتيق فهو ثقة، وثقه الدارقطني، وروى عنه أبو زرعة، وذكره ابن حبان في "الثقات " (٨/٥٢٧) ، وترجم قبله لآخر (٨/٢٢٥) ، وسمى أباه "محمداً"، فظن الحافظ في " اللسان " أن ابن حبان لم يعرف نسبه، وهو وهم من
