حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ يَضْطَرِبُ فِي رِوَايَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرُبَّمَا ذَكَرَ فِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرُبَّمَا رَوَاهُ عَلَى الشَّكِّ فَقَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُرْسَلاً .
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: ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Ma‘mar, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Eat olives and use their oil, for they come from a blessed tree.”
Abu ‘Isa said: We know this hadith only through the narration of ‘Abd al-Razzaq from Ma‘mar. ‘Abd al-Razzaq was inconsistent in transmitting this hadith: sometimes he mentioned it as from ‘Umar, from the Prophet; sometimes he transmitted it with uncertainty, saying, “I think it is from ‘Umar, from the Prophet”; and sometimes he said, “From Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from the Prophet,” as a mursal report.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic presents the initial chain through ‘Umar, then notes variant and uncertain forms of transmission, including a mursal version that omits the Companion from the chain. The verb ادهنوا means apply/use oil on oneself.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى،
The English witness gives the companion attribution but omits the full source chain.
