Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا أَسْكَرَ كَثِيرُهُ فَقَلِيلُهُ حَرَامٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَخَوَّاتِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Qutaybah and ‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us—Qutaybah saying that Isma‘il ibn Ja‘far narrated to him, and ‘Ali saying that Isma‘il informed him—from Dawud ibn Bakr ibn Abi al-Furat, from Ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whatever intoxicates in a large amount, a small amount of it is forbidden.”

He said: Reports on this topic are also related from Sa‘d, ‘A’ishah, ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr, Ibn ‘Umar, and Khawwat ibn Jubayr. Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharīb as a report of Jabir.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives two transmission paths that meet at Isma‘il ibn Ja‘far, using different transmission verbs (haddathana and akhbarana); both are shown. The witness preserves the matn but omits the chain.

  • حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ،

    The English witness omits both source paths through Isma'il ibn Ja'far.

    Please review the two merged transmission paths translated from Arabic.
