حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْعَثِ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏:‏ ‏‏(‏وأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ ‏)‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنِّي لاَ أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا سَلُونِي مِنْ مَالِي مَا شِئْتُمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَهَكَذَا رَوَى وَكِيعٌ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيِّ ‏.‏ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُرْسَلاً وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏

Translation

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

‘A’ishah reported: ‘When the verse “Warn your nearest kindred” (Qur’an 26:214) was revealed, the Messenger of Allah said, “Safiyyah bint ‘Abd al-Muttalib, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Children of ‘Abd al-Muttalib: I have no power to avail you against Allah. Ask me for whatever you wish from my own wealth.”’

Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih report. Waki‘ and others transmitted a similar report from Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘A’ishah. Some transmitters related it from Hisham, from his father, directly from the Prophet as a mursal report, without mentioning ‘A’ishah. Related reports are also narrated from ‘Ali and Ibn ‘Abbas.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Prophet distinguishes what he can give from his own wealth from what he cannot avail his relatives before Allah; preserved the chain variant omitting ‘A’ishah.
