حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لِيَلِيَنِي مِنْكُمْ أُولُو الأَحْلاَمِ وَالنُّهَى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهَيْشَاتِ الأَسْوَاقِ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَالْبَرَاءِ وَأَنَسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يَلِيَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ لِيَحْفَظُوا عَنْهُ . قَالَ وَخَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ هُوَ خَالِدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ يُكْنَى أَبَا الْمُنَازِلِ . قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَقُولُ يُقَالُ إِنَّ خَالِدًا الْحَذَّاءَ مَا حَذَا نَعْلاً قَطُّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَجْلِسُ إِلَى حَذَّاءٍ فَنُسِبَ إِلَيْهِ . قَالَ وَأَبُو مَعْشَرٍ اسْمُهُ زِيَادُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ .

Nasr ibn Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us: Yazid ibn Zuray narrated to us: Khalid al-Hadhdha narrated to us, from Abu Mashar, from Ibrahim, from Alqamah, from Abd Allah, from the Prophet, who said: ‘Let those among you who are mature and discerning stand nearest to me, then those next to them, then those next to them. Do not stand in disorder, lest your hearts become divided. Beware the clamorous commotion of the marketplaces.’
Reports on this subject are also related from Ubayy ibn Kab, Abu Masud, Abu Sa‘id, al-Bara, and Anas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Masud is hasan gharib. It is also reported that the Prophet liked the Muhajirun and Ansar to stand nearest to him so that they could retain what they heard from him. Khalid al-Hadhdha was Khalid ibn Mihran, whose teknonym was Abu al-Manazil. Muhammad ibn Ismail said that it is said Khalid al-Hadhdha never made a sandal; rather, he used to sit with a sandal-maker, and the nickname became attached to him. Abu Mashar’s name was Ziyad ibn Kulayb.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The compiler explains that al-Hadhdha was a nickname derived from association with a sandal-maker, not a claim about Khalid's occupation.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لِيَلِيَنِي مِنْكُمْ أُولُو الأَحْلاَمِ وَالنُّهَى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهَيْشَاتِ الأَسْوَاقِ " .
The phrase hayashat al-aswaq refers to noisy commotion or disorder in marketplaces and is terse in context.
Does “clamorous commotion of the marketplaces” best preserve the warning without overinterpreting it?
