حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ، زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْبَصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ مَا أَصَابَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخْطِئَهُ وَأَنَّ مَا أَخْطَأَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَهُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ‏.‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ‏.‏ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Abu al-Khattab Ziyad ibn Yahya al-Basri narrated to us: ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun narrated to us, from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘A servant does not believe until he believes in divine decree, its good and its bad, and knows that what has befallen him could not have missed him, and what has missed him could not have befallen him.’ Abu ‘Isa said: There are reports on this topic from ‘Ubadah, Jabir, and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr. This hadith is gharīb; we know it only through the narration of ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun. ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun is munkar al-hadith (a narrator whose reports are objectionable).

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source uses technical hadith criticism for ‘Abd Allah ibn Maymun; the Arabic term is retained with a concise gloss.

  • ‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ‏.

    The English witness gives the core saying but omits Abu ‘Isa’s report cross-references and his criticism of the sole transmitter.

    Include the route-specific grading and narrator criticism in the translation.
