حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ حِبَّانَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّبُعِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَوَيَأْكُلُ الضَّبُعَ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَكْلِ الذِّئْبِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَوَيَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبَ أَحَدٌ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ فِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَعَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ وَعَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْجَزَرِيُّ ثِقَةٌ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Hannad narrated to us: Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, from Isma‘il ibn Muslim, from ‘Abd al-Karim ibn Abi al-Mukharriq, Abu Umayyah, from Hibban ibn Jaz’, from his brother Khuzaymah ibn Jaz’, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about eating hyena. He said: ‘Would anyone eat hyena?’ I asked him about eating wolf, and he said: ‘Would anyone with goodness in him eat wolf?’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith’s chain is not strong. We know it only through the report of Isma‘il ibn Muslim from ‘Abd al-Karim Abu Umayyah. Some hadith scholars criticized Isma‘il and ‘Abd al-Karim Abu Umayyah, who is ‘Abd al-Karim ibn Qays ibn Abi al-Mukharriq. ‘Abd al-Karim ibn Malik al-Jazari, however, is trustworthy.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic distinguishes ‘Abd al-Karim Abu Umayyah (also identified as ibn Qays ibn Abi al-Mukharriq) from ‘Abd al-Karim ibn Malik al-Jazari, whom it calls trustworthy.

  • خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّبُعِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَوَيَأْكُلُ الضَّبُعَ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏ ‏.

    The Arabic has الضبع (hyena), while the English witness says badger. The same animal name occurs again in the source's question.

    Should ‘badger’ be corrected to ‘hyena’ in both places?

  • حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ،

    The English witness omits the chain through Hannad, Abu Mu‘awiyah, Isma‘il ibn Muslim, ‘Abd al-Karim, and Hibban ibn Jaz‘.

    Should the witness include the complete chain?
