Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِأَرْبَعٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالْمَوْتِ وَبِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالْقَدَرِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، نَحْوَهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رِبْعِيٌّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عِنْدِي أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ النَّضْرِ وَهَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْجَارُودُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعًا يَقُولُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رِبْعِيًّا لَمْ يَكْذِبْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ كِذْبَةً ‏.‏

Translation

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

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Shu‘bah informed us, from Mansur, from Rib‘i ibn Hirash, from ‘Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘A servant does not believe until he believes in four things: that there is no deity but Allah; that I am the Messenger of Allah, whom He sent with the truth; death; resurrection after death; and divine decree.’ Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: al-Nadr ibn Shumayl narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, with similar wording, except that he said, ‘Rib‘i, from a man, from ‘Ali.’ Abu ‘Isa said: In my view, the hadith of Abu Dawud from Shu‘bah is more authentic than the hadith of al-Nadr. More than one transmitter likewise narrated it from Mansur, from Rib‘i, from ‘Ali. Al-Jarud narrated to us, saying: I heard Waki‘ say, ‘It has reached us that Rib‘i never told a lie in Islam.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic enumerates four articles, with the testimony of faith expressed in two clauses, followed by belief in death, resurrection, and divine decree. The differing chain through an unnamed man is explicitly attributed to al-Nadr’s version.

  • عِنْدِي أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ النَّضْرِ وَهَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏.

    The Arabic adds a variant chain, Abu ‘Isa’s preference between routes, corroboration through Mansur, and Waki‘’s praise of Rib‘i beyond the core witness text.
