Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us: ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr. He said: ‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us: Isma‘il ibn Ja‘far informed us, from ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr, from ‘Abd Allah—namely, ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari al-Ashhali—from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘The Hour will not come until the most fortunate person in worldly life is a luki‘ son of a luki‘.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a gharib hadith; we know it only through the narration of ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Luki‘ is an insulting term for a low or contemptible person; it is retained transliterated because the repeated expression ‘luki‘ son of luki‘’ carries the source’s derisive force.
وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ الأَشْهَلِيُّ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ،
The expression لُكَعُ ابْنُ لُكَعَ is a contemptuous term and has no exact single-word English equivalent; it is retained as ‘luki‘ son of luki‘’ and glossed.
