Sahih Muslim 155b
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ " إِمَامًا مُقْسِطًا وَحَكَمًا عَدْلاً " . وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ " حَكَمًا عَادِلاً " . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ " إِمَامًا مُقْسِطًا " . وَفِي حَدِيثِ صَالِحٍ " حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا " كَمَا قَالَ اللَّيْثُ . وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ " وَحَتَّى تَكُونَ السَّجْدَةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا " . ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ { وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلاَّ لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ} الآيَةَ .
'Abd al-A'la ibn Hammad, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, and Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated this to us. They said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyayna narrated to us. H. Harmala ibn Yahya narrated this to me: Ibn Wahb informed us: Yunus told me. H. Hasan al-Hulwani and 'Abd ibn Humayd narrated to us, from Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd: My father narrated to us, from Salih. All of them reported it from al-Zuhri through this chain. In Ibn 'Uyayna's version are the words: an equitable leader and a just judge. Yunus's version says: a just judge, and does not mention an equitable leader. Salih's version says: an equitable judge, as al-Layth's does. His report adds: Until a single prostration will be better than the world and all it contains. Then Abu Hurayra would say: Recite, if you wish: There is none among the People of the Book who will not believe in him before his death—to the end of the verse.
