حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَدَلِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ خُلُقِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَلاَ صَخَّابًا فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَلاَ يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَصْفَحُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَدَلِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ وَيُقَالُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدٍ ‏.‏

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us, saying: Shu‘bah informed us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Jadali say: I asked ‘A’ishah about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: “He was neither obscene nor given to obscenity, and he did not raise his voice in the markets. He did not repay an evil with an evil; rather, he pardoned and forgave.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Jadali’s name was ‘Abd ibn ‘Abd; it is also said to be ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The source offers two possible names for Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Jadali; neither is selected as certain.

  • رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَلاَ صَخَّابًا فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَلاَ يَجْزِي بِالسَّيِّئَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَلَكِنْ يَعْفُو وَيَصْفَحُ ‏.

    The paired terms fahish and mutafahhish distinguish obscenity from being given to or deliberately engaging in it; ṣakhkhāb indicates loud outcry.

    Do “obscene,” “given to obscenity,” and “raise his voice” preserve the source’s separate traits?

  • ‏ وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَدَلِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ وَيُقَالُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدٍ ‏.

    The source gives two possible personal names for Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Jadali.

    Are both name variants reported without choosing one?
