حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، وَهُوَ أَبُو حَاتِمِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيِّ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ وَلَدَ جَعْفَرٍ تُسْرِعُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْعَيْنُ أَفَأَسْتَرْقِي لَهُمْ فَقَالَ " نَعَمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ سَابَقَ الْقَدَرَ لَسَبَقَتْهُ الْعَيْنُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَبُرَيْدَةَ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، بِهَذَا .

Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Dinar, from ‘Urwah—Abu Hatim ibn ‘Amir—from ‘Ubayd ibn Rifa‘ah al-Zuraqi: Asma’ bint ‘Umays said, ‘Messenger of Allah, the children of Ja‘far are quickly affected by the evil eye. May I perform ruqyah for them?’ He said, ‘Yes. If anything could outstrip the decree, the evil eye would outstrip it.’ Abu ‘Isa said: There are reports on this topic from ‘Imran ibn Husayn and Buraydah. This is a hasan sahih hadith.
This report was also narrated from Ayyub, from ‘Amr ibn Dinar, from ‘Urwah ibn ‘Amir, from ‘Ubayd ibn Rifa‘ah, from Asma’ bint ‘Umays, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-Khallal narrated this to us; he said: ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Ma‘mar, from Ayyub, with this chain.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The block records differing forms of ‘Urwah’s name in the routes: ‘Urwah (identified as Abu Hatim ibn ‘Amir) and ‘Urwah ibn ‘Amir. The phrase about the evil eye outstripping the decree is conditional; it does not state that anything actually does so.
عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ،
The source records ‘Urwah in one route with the identification Abu Hatim ibn ‘Amir and another route as ‘Urwah ibn ‘Amir.’
Should both chain forms be retained? Both are translated as transmitted.
