حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِي يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لَعَلَّ فِيهِمُ الْمُكْرَهَ . قَالَ " إِنَّهُمْ يُبْعَثُونَ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Nasr ibn ‘Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Suqah, from Nafi‘ ibn Jubayr, from Umm Salamah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who mentioned an army that would be swallowed by the earth. Umm Salamah said, ‘Perhaps there will be among them some who were compelled [to join].’ He replied, ‘They will be raised according to their intentions.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan gharib hadith through this route. This hadith has also been narrated from Nafi‘ ibn Jubayr, from ‘A’ishah, from the Prophet.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic term المُكْرَه refers to someone compelled or forced. The English witness renders it as ‘averse’; the translation follows the coercion sense while preserving the source’s uncertainty in a review issue.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِي يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لَعَلَّ فِيهِمُ الْمُكْرَهَ .
The English witness renders المُكْرَه as ‘averse,’ while its usual sense is someone compelled; the context refers to people forced to accompany the army.
Confirm the intended sense of المُكْرَه against a critical commentary; the translation provisionally uses ‘compelled.’
