حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ‏.‏ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ‏:‏ ‏‏(‏ فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا ‏)‏ غَمَزَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَكَذَا رَوَى أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏

‘Alqamah reported that ‘Abd Allah said: ‘The Messenger of Allah asked me to recite to him while he was on the pulpit. I recited Surat al-Nisa’ until I reached, “How will it be when We bring a witness from every community and bring you as a witness against these people?” (Qur’an 4:41). The Messenger of Allah gestured to me with his hand. I looked at him, and his eyes were filled with tears.’ Abu ‘Isa noted that Abu al-Ahwas transmitted it from al-A‘mash, from Ibrahim, from ‘Alqamah, from ‘Abd Allah, but the correct chain is Ibrahim, from ‘Abidah, from ‘Abd Allah.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • Abu ‘Isa explicitly corrects the chain by replacing ‘Alqamah with ‘Abidah as the intermediary from Ibrahim to ‘Abd Allah.
