Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الأَنَاةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالْعَجَلَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ فِي عَبْدِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ وَضَعَّفَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ وَالأَشَجُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ اسْمُهُ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Abu Mus‘ab al-Madani narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Muhaymin ibn ‘Abbas ibn Sahl ibn Sa‘d al-Sa‘idi narrated to us, from his father, from his grandfather, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Deliberateness is from Allah, and haste is from Satan.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is gharib. Some hadith scholars criticized ‘Abd al-Muhaymin ibn ‘Abbas ibn Sahl and considered him weak because of his retention. Al-Ashajj ibn ‘Abd al-Qays was named al-Mundhir ibn ‘A’idh.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source gives a hadith-critical comment on ‘Abd al-Muhaymin’s retention and identifies the al-Ashajj mentioned in the preceding report.

  • قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الأَنَاةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالْعَجَلَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The saying attributes deliberateness to Allah and haste to Satan, without further explanation in this passage.

    Does the direct translation preserve the contrast without adding an interpretation?

  • ‏ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ فِي عَبْدِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ وَضَعَّفَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ وَالأَشَجُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ اسْمُهُ الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ ‏.

    The closing material criticizes one narrator’s retention and identifies al-Ashajj by his personal name.

    Are the narrator criticism and name identification clearly kept as compiler commentary?
