حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَطَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزَاةٍ فَلَمَّا قَفَلْنَا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ تَكْبِيرَةً وَرَفَعُوا بِهَا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبٍ هُوَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رُءُوسِ رِحَالِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسِ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَنْزًا مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَلٍّ وَأَبُو نَعَامَةَ اسْمُهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ عِيسَى ‏.‏ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رُءُوسِ رِحَالِكُمْ يَعْنِي عِلْمَهُ وَقُدْرَتَهُ ‏.‏

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; Marhum ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-‘Attar narrated to us; Abu Na‘amah al-Sa‘di narrated to us, from Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi, from Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari, who said: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition. When we returned and came within sight of Madinah, the people said the takbir once, raising their voices. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Your Lord is neither deaf nor absent; He is between you and the heads of your mounts.’ Then he said: ‘‘Abdullah ibn Qays, shall I teach you a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? “There is no might or power except through Allah.”’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a hasan sahih hadith. Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi’s name is ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mall, and Abu Na‘amah’s name is ‘Amr ibn ‘Isa. By his words “between you and the heads of your mounts,” he means His knowledge and power.’’

  • قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَلٍّ وَأَبُو نَعَامَةَ اسْمُهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ عِيسَى

    The Arabic adds the compiler's grading and identifies Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi and Abu Na‘amah; it also explains the phrase about being between them and their mounts.

    Should these compiler details and explanation be kept with the narration?
