حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَثِيمَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا خَطَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيضٌ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ وَعَائِشَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَدْ خُولِفَ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . فَرَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُرْسَلاً . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَحَدِيثُ اللَّيْثِ أَشْبَهُ . وَلَمْ يَعُدَّ حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ مَحْفُوظًا .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah narrated to us: Abd al-Hamid ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, from Ibn Wathimah al-Nasri, from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: If someone whose religion and character you approve proposes to you, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be turmoil in the land and widespread corruption. It is also reported in this chapter from Abu Hatim al-Muzani and Aishah. Abu Isa said: This report from Abu Hurairah was opposed in its chain to Abd al-Hamid ibn Sulayman. Al-Layth ibn Sa'd narrated it from Ibn Ajlan, from Abdullah ibn Hurmoz, from the Prophet, with a disconnected chain. Abu Isa said: Muhammad said that the report of al-Layth is more plausible, and he did not consider the report of Abd al-Hamid preserved.
