Dr. Shehzad Saleem

 

حدثنا محمد بن خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ثنا آدَمُ بن أبي إِيَاسٍ ثنا سَلَّامُ بن مِسْكِينٍ ثنا عَائِذُ اللّٰهِ عن أبي دَاوُدَ عن زَيْدِ بن أَرْقَمَ قال قال أَصْحَابُ رسول اللّٰهِ صلي اللّٰه عليه وسلم يا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ ما هذه الْأَضَاحِيُّ قال سُنَّةُ أَبِيكُمْ إبراهيم قالوا فما لنا فيها يا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ قال بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ حَسَنَةٌ قالوا فَالصُّوفُ يا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ قال بِكُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ من الصُّوفِ حَسَنَةٌ

Zayd ibn Arqam stated that the companions of God’s Messenger asked him: “O Messenger of God! What is the reality of these animal sacrifices that we offer?” He replied: “This is the practice of your forefather Abraham.” They asked: “What will we gain from them, O Messenger of God?” He replied: “You will get one unit of reward for every hair of that animal.” They then asked: “What about the wool [of a ram]?” He replied: “For every strand of wool you will get one unit of reward.”1

 Following is the schematic illustration of the variants of this narrative’s isnad:

Regarding Nufay‘ ibn al-Harith, al-Mizzi records: Yahya ibn Ma‘in says that he is nothing and concocts narratives; ‘Amr ibn ‘Ali and al-Nasa’i say that he is matruk al-hadith; at another instances, al-Nasa’i says that he is laysa bi thiqah wa la yuktabu hadithuhu; Abu Zur‘ah says that he is lam yakun bi shayy’; Abu Hatim says that he is munkar al-hadith da‘if al-hadith; al-Bukhari says yatakallamun fihi; al-Tirmidhi says that he is regarded to be da‘if in hadith; Ibn Hibban says that he mistakenly narrates fabricated narratives from trustworthy people and it is not permissible to adduce from him.2

Al-Daraqutni calls him matruk al-hadith and Ibn Hajar regard him to be matruk.3

‘A’idhullah al-Majashi‘i is majhul al-‘ayn as the only person to narrate from him is Sallam ibn Miskin.4 Moreover, al-Dhahabi records that according to al-Bukhari his narratives are not correct and that Abu Hatim regards him to be munkar al-hadith.5 Ibn Hajar says that he is da‘if.6
