حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ كَلَدَةَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ بَعَثَهُ بِلَبَنٍ وَلِبَإٍ وَضَغَابِيسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ أُسَلِّمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَأْذِنْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ ارْجِعْ فَقُلِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَأَدْخُلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ صَفْوَانُ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَأَخْبَرَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ كَلَدَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ أَيْضًا عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا ‏.‏ وَضَغَابِيسُ هُوَ حَشِيشٌ يُؤْكَلُ ‏.‏

Translation

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

‘Amr ibn Abi Sufyan reported: ‘Amr ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Safwan told him that Kaladah ibn Hanbal had told him that Safwan ibn Umayyah sent him to the Prophet with milk, colostrum, and daghabis (an edible plant). The Prophet was in the upper part of the valley. Kaladah said: I entered without greeting or asking permission. The Prophet said, “Go back and say, ‘Peace be upon you; may I come in?’”’ This took place after Safwan had accepted Islam.

‘Amr said: Umayyah ibn Safwan also informed me of this hadith, but he did not say, ‘I heard it from Kaladah.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan gharib hadith; we know it only through Ibn Jurayj. Abu ‘Asim also narrated it from Ibn Jurayj similarly. Daghabis is an edible herb.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic spells out milk, colostrum, and daghabis, then explains daghabis as an edible plant. It also preserves a chain wording caveat: Umayyah did not claim direct hearing from Kaladah.
