حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ وَاصِلٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الأَسَدِيُّ، قال حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَالْفَرَائِضَ وَعَلِّمُوا النَّاسَ فَإِنِّي مَقْبُوضٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ فِيهِ اضْطِرَابٌ وَرَوَى أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، بِهَذَا بِمَعْنَاهُ . وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الأَسَدِيُّ قَدْ ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَغَيْرُهُ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
‘Abd al-A‘la ibn Wasir narrated to us; Muhammad ibn al-Qasim al-Asadi narrated to us; al-Fadl ibn Dalham narrated to us; ‘Awf narrated to us, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Learn the Qur’an and the laws of inheritance, and teach them to the people, for I will be taken.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is subject to variation in its transmission.
Abu Usamah narrated this hadith from ‘Awf, from a man, from Sulayman ibn Jabir, from Ibn Mas‘ud, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with similar meaning. Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth narrated this to us; he said: Abu Usamah informed us, from ‘Awf, with this meaning. Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others considered Muhammad ibn al-Qasim al-Asadi weak.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The compiler characterizes the hadith’s transmission as muḍṭarib (varied/unstable) and reports that Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others weakened Muhammad ibn al-Qasim. Both are preserved as critical assessments, not silently resolved.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ فِيهِ اضْطِرَابٌ
The source adds a judgment that the transmission is varied, another route through Ibn Mas‘ud, and criticism of Muhammad ibn al-Qasim; the English witness omits these.
Should the compiler’s transmission criticism and alternate route be included? They are translated from the Arabic.
