حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ أَوْ سَبْعُونَ بَابًا أَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَأَرْفَعُهَا قَوْلُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ " . حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَحْوَهُ .
Ali ibn Muhammad al-Tanafisi narrated to us: Waki narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from Abdullah ibn Dinar, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Faith has sixty-some or seventy branches. The lowest of them is removing harmful things from the road, and the highest is saying There is no god but Allah. Modesty is a branch of faith. Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan. (Another chain:) Amr ibn Rafi narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from Suhayl. Both routes lead from Abdullah ibn Dinar, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with a similar report.
Translation notes
The Arabic gives a numerical variant, sixty-some or seventy branches, rather than a fixed total. It describes the highest branch as the declaration There is no god but Allah and separately identifies modesty as one branch. The second part preserves two alternative routes and states that they carry a similar wording.
