Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الْوَقْتُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ وَالْوَقْتُ الآخِرُ عَفْوُ اللَّهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أُمِّ فَرْوَةَ لاَ يُرْوَى إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْعُمَرِيِّ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ وَاضْطَرَبُوا عَنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَهُوَ صَدُوقٌ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ ‏.‏

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: Yaʿqūb ibn al-Walīd al-Madanī narrated to us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The early time of prayer brings Allah’s pleasure, and its later time is pardoned by Allah.” Abū ʿĪsā said: This hadith is gharīb. Ibn ʿAbbās also narrated a similar report from the Prophet (ﷺ). There are also reports on this topic from ʿAlī, Ibn ʿUmar, ʿĀʾishah, and Ibn Masʿūd. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Umm Farwah is narrated only through ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar al-ʿUmarī. He is not strong according to hadith scholars, and they found variation in this report from him. He is truthful, but Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd criticized his memory.

  • ‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أُمِّ فَرْوَةَ لاَ يُرْوَى إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْعُمَرِيِّ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ وَاضْطَرَبُوا عَنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَهُوَ صَدُوقٌ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ ‏.

    The compiler distinguishes ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar al-ʿUmarī as truthful but not strong, notes instability in his transmission of the preceding report, and attributes criticism to Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd’s concern about memory.
