حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ الأَشْهَلِيُّ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَقْتُلُوا إِمَامَكُمْ وَتَجْتَلِدُوا بِأَسْيَافِكُمْ وَيَرِثَ دُنْيَاكُمْ شِرَارُكُمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Qutaybah narrated to us: ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr, from ‘Abd Allah—namely, ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari al-Ashhali—from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘By the One in whose hand is my soul, the Hour will not come until you kill your leader, fight one another with your swords, and the worst of you inherit your worldly life.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan hadith. We know it only through the narration of ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source identifies ‘Abd Allah as ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari al-Ashhali; the chain is rendered with that identification as supplied.

  • ‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ‏.

    The English witness gives the prophetic warning but omits Abu ‘Isa’s route-specific note that the report is known only through ‘Amr ibn Abi ‘Amr.

    Retain the source’s limitation to this transmission route.
