حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، صَاحِبُ الأَنْمَاطِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحِي إِذَا رَفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا خَائِبَتَيْنِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Ibn Abi ‘Adi narrated to us; Ja‘far ibn Maymun, the maker of patterned cloth, informed us, from Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi, from Salman al-Farisi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Allah is Modest and Generous. When a man raises his hands to Him, He is too modest to send them back empty and disappointed.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith. Some narrators transmitted it without attributing it to the Prophet.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ .
The Arabic reports that some transmitters did not raise the hadith to the Prophet; the English witness omits this variant and the grade.
Should this attribution variant be tracked as a witness omission?
