حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ شَابُورَ، وَبَشِيرٍ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، ذُبِحَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَالْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيْضًا .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-A‘la narrated to us: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from Dawud ibn Shabur and Bashir Abu Isma‘il, from Mujahid, who reported that a sheep had been slaughtered for ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr’s household. When he arrived, he said: “Did you send some as a gift to our Jewish neighbor? Did you send some as a gift to our Jewish neighbor? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Jibril kept urging me to treat the neighbor well until I thought he would make him an heir.’”
There are also reports on this topic from ‘A’ishah, Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Hurayrah, Anas, al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir, Abu Shurayh, and Abu Umamah. Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib through this route. This hadith has also been narrated from Mujahid, from ‘A’ishah and Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The repeated question about sending a gift to the Jewish neighbor is repeated in the Arabic. The compiler classifies this route as hasan gharib and cites additional narrations from Mujahid through ‘A’ishah and Abu Hurayrah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى،
The English witness omits all transmitters before Mujahid.
Should the full isnad be retained?
ذُبِحَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ أَهْدَيْتُمْ لِجَارِنَا الْيَهُودِيِّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ " .
The source repeats the question about the Jewish neighbor twice before giving the reason; the translation preserves this repetition.
Should the repeated question be kept as in the Arabic?
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
The route is graded hasan gharib and other routes through Mujahid are mentioned; these notes are absent from the witness.
Should the route grading and related reports remain attached to this text?
