Seclusion is Relief

19 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us, he said: Yaḥyā ibn Sulaym narrated to us, he said: I heard Ismāʿīl ibn Umayya say: It reached me that ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, May God be pleased with him, said: "Seclusion is relief from evil companions."

Notes

(1) Da'if (Weak): Transmitted by Wakīʿ (250), Aḥmad (119), Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim (85), and al-Bayhaqī (119), all of them in al-Zuhd; Ibn Wahb in al-Jāmiʿ (418); Ibn Abī Shayba (13/275); and al-Khaṭṭābī in al-ʿUzla (p. 22). And its chain of transmission is weak due to a break between Ismāʿīl and al-Fārūq, and al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar declared it defective for this reason in Fatḥ al-Bārī (11/331).
