Sahih Muslim 215

Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جِهَارًا غَيْرَ سِرٍّ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَلاَ إِنَّ آلَ أَبِي - يَعْنِي فُلاَنًا - لَيْسُوا لِي بِأَوْلِيَاءَ إِنَّمَا وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to me: Muhammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us: Shu‘ba narrated to us, from Isma‘il ibn Abi Khalid, from Qays, from ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) openly, not in secret, say, “The family of my father—meaning so-and-so—are not my allies. My ally is only Allah and the righteous believers.”

Translation notes
  • The source leaves the family member unnamed with the placeholder ‘so-and-so’; the translation preserves that omission.
