حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا ـ وَهْوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ـ وَأَبَا بَكْرَةَ ـ وَكَانَ تَسَوَّرَ حِصْنَ الطَّائِفِ فِي أُنَاسٍ ـ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالاَ سَمِعْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهْوَ يَعْلَمُ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ ‏" ‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ وَأَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، أَوْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا، وَأَبَا، بَكْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ قُلْتُ لَقَدْ شَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلاَنِ حَسْبُكَ بِهِمَا‏.‏ قَالَ أَجَلْ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَالِثَ ثَلاَثَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Bashshar related to us: Ghundar related to us: Shu‘ba related to us, from Asim, who said: I heard Abu Uthman say: I heard Sa‘d—and he was the first to shoot an arrow in Allah’s cause—and Abu Bakra—and he had climbed over the wall of the Taif fortress with a group of people—come to the Prophet (ﷺ). The two of them said, “We heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever knowingly claims to belong to someone other than his father, Paradise is forbidden to him.’” Hisham also said: Ma‘mar related to us, from Asim, from Abu al-Aliya or Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, who said: I heard Sa‘d and Abu Bakra narrate from the Prophet (ﷺ). Asim said: I told him, “Two men have testified before you, and those two are enough for you.” He replied, “Yes. One of them was the first to shoot an arrow in Allah’s cause, and the other came down to the Prophet (ﷺ) as the third of twenty-three men from Taif.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source preserves uncertainty between Abu al-Aliya and Abu Uthman al-Nahdi in the alternate chain, and describes Abu Bakra as third among twenty-three who came down from Taif.
