حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْلَى الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عَلاَّقٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَعَشَّوْا وَلَوْ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ فَإِنَّ تَرْكَ الْعَشَاءِ مَهْرَمَةٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَعَنْبَسَةُ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَلاَّقٍ مَجْهُولٌ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Yahya ibn Musa narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ya‘la al-Kufi narrated to us: ‘Anbasah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Qurashi narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Allaq, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Eat supper, even if it is only a handful of poor-quality dried dates, for leaving supper brings on old age.”
Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is munkar; we know it only by this route. ‘Anbasah is considered weak in hadith, and ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Allaq is unknown.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The food حشف is poor-quality dried dates; “a handful” preserves the wording without implying a full meal. The final clause literally describes neglecting supper as causing aging or senescence; “brings on old age” preserves that image.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى،
The English witness omits the source isnad.
Please review the chain translated from Arabic.
وَعَنْبَسَةُ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَلاَّقٍ مَجْهُولٌ .
The English witness has an awkward phrase about Anbasah being weak; the Arabic clearly says he is regarded as weak in hadith and that Abd al-Malik ibn Allaq is unknown.
