حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ شَهِدَ الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ لَهُ قِيَامُ نِصْفِ لَيْلَةٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ وَالْفَجْرَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ لَهُ كَقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْبَةَ وَجُنْدَبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْبَجَلِيِّ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي مُوسَى وَبُرَيْدَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُثْمَانَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ مَوْقُوفًا وَرُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ مَرْفُوعًا ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Bishr ibn al-Sari narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Uthman ibn Hakim, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Amrah, from Uthman ibn Affan, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Whoever attends the night prayer in congregation, it is as though he stood in prayer for half the night. Whoever prays the night prayer and dawn prayer in congregation, it is as though he stood in prayer for the whole night.’

Reports on this subject are also related from Ibn Umar, Abu Hurayrah, Anas, Umarah ibn Ruwaybah, Jundab ibn Abd Allah ibn Sufyan al-Bajali, Ubayy ibn Kab, Abu Musa, and Buraydah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Uthman is hasan. This hadith has also been narrated from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Amrah from Uthman as a Companion statement, and through other chains from Uthman as a Prophetic report.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The closing note distinguishes a mawquf version attributed to Uthman from marfu versions traced to the Prophet.

  • ‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ مَوْقُوفًا وَرُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ مَرْفُوعًا ‏.

    The source notes both a Companion-stopped version and multiple raised versions of the same report.

    Does the translation preserve the distinction between the mawquf and marfu transmissions?
