حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَكْمَلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِيمَانًا أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا وَأَلْطَفُهُمْ بِأَهْلِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لأَبِي قِلاَبَةَ سَمَاعًا مِنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَضِيعٌ لِعَائِشَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَأَبُو قِلاَبَةَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ أَبَا قِلاَبَةَ فَقَالَ كَانَ وَاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفُقَهَاءِ ذَوِي الأَلْبَابِ ‏.‏

Translation

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

‘A’ishah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Among the believers, the most complete in faith are those best in character and kindest to their families.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan. We do not know that Abu Qilabah heard from ‘A’ishah. Abu Qilabah narrated other than this hadith from ‘Abdullah ibn Yazid, one of ‘A’ishah’s foster-children, from ‘A’ishah. Abu Qilabah’s name was ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Jarmi.’

Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah, who said that Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani mentioned Abu Qilabah and said: ‘By Allah, he was one of the insightful jurists.’ Reports on this topic are also related from Abu Hurairah and Anas ibn Malik.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source qualifies the chain by saying a direct hearing from ‘A’ishah is not known, then notes another report through her foster-child. The final praise of Abu Qilabah is attributed through Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah from Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani.
