حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، هُوَ الْمُهَلَّبِيُّ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلاَمَةَ، هُوَ أَبُو الْمِنْهَالِ الرِّيَاحِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَ الْعِشَاءِ وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَنَسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ كَرِهَ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْعِشَاءِ وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَرَخَّصَ فِي ذَلِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ . وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَكْثَرُ الأَحَادِيثِ عَلَى الْكَرَاهِيَةِ . وَرَخَّصَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي النَّوْمِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْعِشَاءِ فِي رَمَضَانَ . وَسَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلاَمَةَ هُوَ أَبُو الْمِنْهَالِ الرِّيَاحِيُّ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Aḥmad ibn Manīʿ narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us: ʿAwf informed us. Aḥmad said: ʿAbbād ibn ʿAbbād al-Muhallabī and Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUlayyah also narrated to us, both from ʿAwf, from Sayyār ibn Salāmah (Abū al-Minhal al-Riyāḥī), from Abū Barzah, who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) disliked sleeping before ʿIshāʾ and talking after it. There are also reports on this topic from ʿĀʾishah, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, and Anas. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Abū Barzah is hasan sahih. Most scholars disliked sleeping before the ʿIshāʾ prayer and talking after it, though some granted permission. ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak said: Most hadiths indicate disapproval. Some allowed sleeping before the ʿIshāʾ prayer during Ramadan. Sayyār ibn Salāmah is Abū al-Minhal al-Riyāḥī.
