حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَى الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَايَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ كَانَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ نَمِرَةٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَالْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ . وَأَبُو يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ اسْمُهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرَوَى عَنْهُ أَيْضًا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Ahmad ibn Mani reported to us from Yahya ibn Zakariyya ibn Abi Za idah, from Abu Yaqub al-Thaqafi, from Yunus ibn Ubayd, the freedman of Muhammad ibn al-Qasim, who said: Muhammad ibn al-Qasim sent me to al-Bara ibn Azib to ask him about the banner of the Messenger of Allah. He said: It was black, square, and made of namirah.
Abu Isa said: Reports on this subject also come from Ali, al-Harith ibn Hassan, and Ibn Abbas. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib. We know it only through the report of Ibn Abi Za idah. Abu Yaqub al-Thaqafi’s name was Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, and Ubaidullah ibn Musa also narrated from him.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Namirah is retained as a textile term because the Arabic does not further specify the material in this passage.
