حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ جِئْتُهُ " مَرْحَبًا بِالرَّاكِبِ الْمُهَاجِرِ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِصَحِيحٍ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ . وَمُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ . وَرَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ مُرْسَلاً وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ . وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ . قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ بَشَّارٍ يَقُولُ مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَكَتَبْتُ كَثِيرًا عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ثُمَّ تَرَكْتُهُ . كَمُلَ كِتَابُ الاِسْتِئْذَانِ وَيَتْلُوهُ كِتَابُ الأَدَبِ

‘Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl reported: On the day I came to him, the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Welcome to the emigrant who has come riding.’
There are reports on this topic from Buraydah, Ibn ‘Abbas, and Abu Juhaifah. Abu ‘Isa said: This chain is not sound. We know this report only through this route, from Musa ibn Mas‘ud, from Sufyan. Musa ibn Mas‘ud is weak in hadith. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated it from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, as a mursal report, omitting Mus‘ab ibn Sa‘d; this version is more authentic. Muhammad ibn Bashshar said that Musa ibn Mas‘ud was weak in hadith. He added: I wrote many reports from Musa ibn Mas‘ud, then abandoned him. The Book of Seeking Permission has ended; the Book of Good Manners follows it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source explicitly rejects the connected chain as weak and prefers the mursal version. The English witness omits this detailed criticism and the closing section marker, which are retained here.
