حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الأَقْمَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلاَ آكُلُ مُتَّكِئًا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الأَقْمَرِ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الأَقْمَرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الأَقْمَرِ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Qutaybah narrated to us: Sharik narrated to us, from ‘Ali ibn al-Aqmar, from Abu Juhaifah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘As for me, I do not eat while reclining.’ Reports on this topic also come from ‘Ali, ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr, and ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas. Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih (good and authentic); we know it only through the report of ‘Ali ibn al-Aqmar. Zakariyya ibn Abi Za’idah, Sufyan al-Thawri, and more than one other narrator reported this hadith from ‘Ali ibn al-Aqmar. Shu‘bah also reported it from Sufyan al-Thawri, from ‘Ali ibn al-Aqmar.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The English witness gives the Companion's name as ‘Abu Juhaidah’; the Arabic is Abu Juhaifah (Abu Juhayfah).

  • عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ،

    The Arabic name is Abu Juhaifah, not Abu Juhaidah.

    Should the witness correct the Companion's name to Abu Juhaifah?

  • حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ،

    The English witness omits the chain from Qutaybah through Sharik and ‘Ali ibn al-Aqmar.

    Should the complete chain be included?
