حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ " ثَلاَثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ رَجُلٌ قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَتْلُو كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ صَدَقَةً بِيَمِينِهِ يُخْفِيهَا أُرَاهُ قَالَ مِنْ شِمَالِهِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَانْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْعَدُوَّ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ . وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رَوَى شُعْبَةُ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ كَثِيرُ الْغَلَطِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud reported from the Prophet: ‘There are three whom Allah loves: a man who rises at night reciting the Book of Allah; a man who gives charity with his right hand and conceals it—I think he said, from his left; and a man who is with a detachment whose companions flee, but he stands firm to face the enemy.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is gharīb through this route and is not preserved. The sound version is what Shu‘bah and others narrated from Mansur, from Rib‘i ibn Hirash, from Zayd ibn Zabyan, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet. Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyash makes many errors.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The narrator’s uncertainty about ‘from his left hand’ is preserved. The final clause describes the companions fleeing, not being killed. Abu ‘Isa says this route is not preserved, supplies the sound chain ending with Abu Dharr, and criticizes Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyash’s accuracy; the witness omits this transmission-critical commentary.
