حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَهُوَ جَدُّ هَذَا النَّصْرِ حَدَّثَنَا الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يَحْضُرُهُمَا الْمَوْتُ فَيُضَارَّانِ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ فَتَجِبُ لَهُمَا النَّارُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَىَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَْ ‏:‏ ‏‏(‏مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَى بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ وَصِيَّةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ‏)‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏:‏ ‏‏(‏ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ‏)‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ هُوَ جَدُّ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيِّ ‏.‏

Nasr ibn ‘Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us; ‘Abd al-Samad ibn ‘Abd al-Warith narrated to us; Nasr ibn ‘Ali—this Nasr’s grandfather—narrated to us; al-Ash‘ath ibn Jabir narrated to us, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, from Abu Hurayrah, who related from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘A man and a woman may perform acts of obedience to Allah for sixty years, then, when death approaches, they cause harm through a bequest, and the Fire becomes due to them.’ Abu Hurayrah then recited to me: ‘After a bequest made or a debt, without causing harm—a commandment from Allah,’ through to His words, ‘That is the great triumph.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith. Nasr ibn ‘Ali who narrated from al-Ash‘ath ibn Jabir is the grandfather of Nasr ibn ‘Ali al-Jahdami.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The source quotes part of the inheritance verse and identifies which Nasr ibn ‘Ali is the grandfather. The repeated phrase ‘cause harm’ refers to a harmful bequest in the quoted context.

  • ‏ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ هُوَ جَدُّ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيِّ ‏.

    The Arabic adds Abu ‘Isa’s grading and clarifies the identity of the narrator Nasr ibn ‘Ali; the witness omits both.
