878- Mūsā ibn Sahl al-Ramlī narrated to us, saying: Nuʿaym ibn Ḥammād narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Darāwardī narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Abī ʿAmr, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: "Let none of you die while owing a debt, for there is neither dinar nor dirham there; rather, they will divide among themselves good deeds and evil deeds there." And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of God be upon him, gestured with his hand to the right and to the left.
879- Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated to me, saying: Sālim ibn Qādim narrated to us, saying: Abū Muʿāwiya Hāshim ibn ʿĪsā narrated to us, saying: Al-Ḥārith ibn Muslim informed me, from al-Zuhrī, from Anas ibn Mālik, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of God be upon him, to the effect of the hadith of Abū Hurayra.
Abū Jaʿfar said: That is the meaning of the statement of He Whose praise is Exalted: {no soul shall settle anything on behalf of another soul}
Notes
- (1) Hadith: 878 - This is a Sahih (authentic) continuous chain of transmission from Ibn ʿAbbās, and I did not find it in the Musnad of Imam Aḥmad, nor in the Six Books, nor in Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid, nor did al-Tirmidhī indicate it in his saying "And regarding this topic...". Thus, it is an additional benefit gained from the narration of Abū Jaʿfar, May Allah have mercy on him.
- (2) Hadith: 879 - This chain of transmission contains a problem that I was unable to resolve. As for "Salm ibn Qādim": it is "Salm" with fatḥa on the sīn and sukūn on the lām. In the printed edition here, it is "Sālim" with an alif after the sīn, which is an error. This Salm is a Baghdadi who is trustworthy; he narrates from Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna, Baqiyya ibn al-Walīd, and others. Ibn Abī Ḥātim provided a biography for him in 2/1/268, and al-Khaṭīb in Tārīkh Baghdād 9: 145–146. He has a concise biography in Lisān al-Mīzān 3: 65.
And Abū Muʿāwiya Hāshim ibn ʿĪsā: he is Hāshim ibn Abī Hurayra al-Ḥimṣī; he was famous for being attributed to his father's kunya, meaning "Hāshim ibn Abī Hurayra". Ibn Abī Ḥātim provided a biography for him in 4/2/105 and did not mention any discrediting against him. He has an unedited biography in Lisān al-Mīzān 6: 184, in which he mentioned the name of the narrator from him as "Muslim ibn Qādim", which is a distortion.
As for the problem in the chain of transmission, it concerns "al-Ḥārith ibn Muslim", the narrator here from al-Zuhrī. So I do not know who this is, nor its accuracy. Perhaps there is a distortion in it that I could not perceive. Furthermore, I did not find this hadith from the hadith of Anas at all, after extensive search and tracking. And there in al-Mustadrak by al-Ḥākim 4: 576, there is another hadith of Anas from another route containing some of this meaning. Its chain of transmission is Da'if (Weak).
