Book 35

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُوسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّحَّانَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏أَوْ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَخِيهِ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ وَتَحْمِيدِهِ وَتَكْبِيرِهِ وَتَهْلِيلِهِ ‏ ‏يَتَعَاطَفْنَ ‏ ‏حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ لَهُنَّ ‏ ‏دَوِيٌّ ‏ ‏كَدَوِيِّ ‏ ‏النَّحْلِ يُذَكِّرُونَ بِصَاحِبِهِنَّ أَلَا يُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَزَالَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ يُذَكِّرُ بِهِ ‏

Ismāʿīl narrated to us: Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī narrated to us, from Abū Zurʿah ibn ʿAmr ibn Jarīr, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, among what you mention of the glorification of Allah, the declaration of His oneness, the declaration of His holiness, and the praise of Him — they circle around the Throne buzzing like the buzzing of bees, reminding of their companion. Does not one of you love to have something — or: someone — that continues to remind of him?'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏يَعْلَى ‏ ‏أَخْبَرَنَا ‏ ‏أَبُو حَيَّانَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الشَّعْبِيِّ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِي فَوَهَبَهَا لِي فَقَالَتْ لَا ‏ ‏أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ فَأَخَذَ أَبِي بِيَدِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ وَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ‏ ‏ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ ‏ ‏زَاوَلَتْنِي ‏ ‏عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لَهُ وَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ قَالَ يَا ‏ ‏بَشِيْرُ ‏ ‏أَلَكَ ابْنٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَالَ ‏ ‏فَوَهَبْتَ لَهُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَ لِهَذَا قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا فَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ‏ ‏جَوْرٍ ‏

Ismāʿīl narrated to us: Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī narrated to us, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: His father gave him a gift, so his mother ʿAmrah bint Rawāḥah said: 'I will not be pleased until you have the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bear witness to it.' So he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'I have given my son from ʿAmrah bint Rawāḥah a gift, and she told me to have you bear witness to it, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Have you given all your children the like of this?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then fear Allah and treat your children equally.' So he returned and took back his gift.

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏حُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ ‏ ‏أَوْ الصُّفُوفِ ‏ ‏الْأُوَلِ ‏

Hushaym narrated to us: Husayn informed us, from ʿĀmir, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the first row.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏أَيُّوبُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏انْكَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَخَرَجَ فَكَانَ ‏ ‏يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى ‏ ‏انْجَلَتْ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ ‏ ‏إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ ‏

Hushaym narrated to us: Abū Bishr informed us, from Bashīr ibn Thābit, from Ḥabīb ibn Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while the sun was eclipsed, and he prayed until the eclipse cleared. Then he said: 'Indeed, the people of the Jāhiliyyah used to say that the sun and moon do not eclipse except for the death of a great person. Rather, the sun and moon are two signs among the signs of Allah عز وجل; when one of them eclipses — or: when something happens to one of them — pray the best prayer you have ever prayed until it clears.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏دَاوُدَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الشَّعْبِيِّ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏حَمَلَنِي أَبِي ‏ ‏بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ ‏ ‏نَحَلْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ ‏ ‏كَذَا وَكَذَا شَيْئًا سَمَّاهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ ‏ ‏أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ ‏ ‏نَحَلْتَ ‏ ‏مِثْلَ الَّذِي ‏ ‏نَحَلْتَ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ ‏ ‏قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَشْهِدْ غَيْرِي ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي ‏ ‏الْبِرِّ ‏ ‏سَوَاءً قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَلَا إِذًا ‏

Hushaym narrated to us: Sayyār and Mughīrah informed us, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: His father took him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'Bear witness that I have given al-Nuʿmān such-and-such.' He said: 'Have you given all your children the like of what you have given al-Nuʿmān?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then bear witness to this from someone other than me, for I do not bear witness to injustice.'

‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏عَبْد اللَّهِ ‏ ‏وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ ‏ ‏كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ ‏ ‏الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ يَعْنِي الْحَلَبِيَّ ‏ ‏فَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَخِيهِ ‏ ‏زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ ‏ ‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ‏ ‏أَبَا سَلَّامٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏كُنْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ ‏ ‏رَجُلٌ ‏ ‏مَا ‏ ‏أُبَالِ ‏ ‏أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَنْ أَسْقِيَ الْحَاجَّ وَقَالَ ‏ ‏آخَرُ ‏ ‏مَا ‏ ‏أُبَالِ ‏ ‏أَنْ لَا أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَنْ أَعْمُرَ ‏ ‏الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ ‏ ‏وَقَالَ ‏ ‏آخَرُ ‏ ‏الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتُمْ ‏ ‏فَزَجَرَهُمْ ‏ ‏عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ‏ ‏رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْجُمُعَةَ دَخَلْتُ ‏ ‏فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ ‏ ‏فِيمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏ { ‏أَجَعَلْتُمْ ‏ ‏سِقَايَةَ ‏ ‏الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ‏ ‏الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ‏ ‏كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ‏} ‏إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ كُلِّهَا ‏

Hushaym narrated to us: Dāwūd ibn Abī Hind informed us, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: Two men disputed before the Prophet ﷺ — or: Shall I not judge between them with the judgment of the Prophet ﷺ? When two men disputed before the Prophet ﷺ, and one of them said: "Between us is the Book of Allah." And the other — who was more knowledgeable than him — said: "You have spoken well, the Book of Allah, so the Book of Allah does not prevent my right." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "You have spoken correctly, and ʿUmar used to say: Between you and me is the Book of Allah." Then ʿUmar came to them with the sword and struck the one who said: "I am not pleased with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ" and killed him. So {Is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book which is recited to them?} was revealed, and the verse about the siqāyat al-ḥājj was revealed.

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏مُجَالِدٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَامِرٌ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَأَوْمَأَ ‏ ‏بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ ‏ ‏إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَ الْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُشْتَبِهَاتٍ لَا يَدْرِي كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ أَمِنَ الْحَلَالِ هِيَ أَمْ مِنْ الْحَرَامِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنْ وَاقَعَهَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ الْحَرَامَ فَمَنْ رَعَى إِلَى ‏ ‏جَنْبِ ‏ ‏حِمًى ‏ ‏يُوشِكُ أَنْ ‏ ‏يَرْتَعَ ‏ ‏فِيهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ ‏ ‏حِمًى ‏ ‏وَإِنَّ ‏ ‏حِمَى ‏ ‏اللَّهِ ‏ ‏مَحَارِمُهُ ‏

Hushaym narrated to us: Mughīrah informed us; and Abū ʿĀmir informed us, from Sufyān, from Mughīrah; both from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. So whoever avoids the doubtful matters has safeguarded his religion and his honor, and whoever falls into the doubtful matters falls into the unlawful, like the shepherd who grazes around a sanctuary, nearly grazing in it. Indeed, every king has a sanctuary, and indeed the sanctuary of Allah is His prohibitions.'

‏ ‏قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّ أَبِي ‏ ‏بَشِيرًا ‏ ‏وَهَبَ لِي هِبَةً فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي أَشْهِدْ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا الْغُلَامِ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَهَبَ لَهُ هِبَةً فَوَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ فَقَالَتْ أَشْهِدْ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَأَتَيْتُكَ لِأُشْهِدَكَ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدَكَ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَهُ كَمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا إِنِّي ‏ ‏لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ‏ ‏جَوْرٍ ‏ ‏إِنَّ لِبَنِيكَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ ‏

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAdī ibn Thābit, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr — or: from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr, from al-Barāʾ — that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Treat your children equally in gifts. Treat your children equally in gifts. Treat your children equally in gifts.'

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: 'The likeness of the one who observes the limits of Allah and the one who transgresses them is like a people who drew lots for a ship. Some of them got the upper deck and some got the lower deck. When those in the lower deck wanted water, they would pass by those above them and said: If we bored a hole in our share, we would not harm those above us. If they left them to what they wanted, they would all perish together. But if they took hold of their hands, they would be saved and they would all be saved together.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏زَكَرِيَّا ‏ ‏قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَامِرٌ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى ‏

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: 'The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion is like the body: when one limb complains, the rest of the body responds with sleeplessness and fever.'

‏ ‏وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ فِيهِ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنْ وَاقَعَهَا وَاقَعَ الْحَرَامَ كَالرَّاعِي ‏ ‏يَرْعَى حَوْلَ ‏ ‏الْحِمَى ‏ ‏يُوشِكُ أَنْ ‏ ‏يَرْتَعَ ‏ ‏فِيهِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ ‏ ‏حِمًى ‏ ‏وَإِنَّ ‏ ‏حِمَى ‏ ‏اللَّهِ مَا حَرَّمَ أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ ‏ ‏مُضْغَةً ‏ ‏إِذَا صَلُحَتْ صَلُحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏زَكَرِيَّا ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏عَامِرًا ‏ ‏يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‏ ‏فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ‏

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from al-Shaʿbī who said: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say — and al-Nuʿmān pointed his fingers to his ears: 'Indeed, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. I shall give you a parable for that: Indeed, Allah has established a sanctuary, and indeed the sanctuary of Allah is what He has prohibited. And indeed, whoever grazes around the sanctuary is about to enter it. And indeed, whoever falls into the doubtful matters is about to transgress the sanctuary. And indeed, in the body there is a piece of flesh — if it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏وَكِيعٌ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مِسْعَرٌ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ الصُّفُوفِ كَمَا ‏ ‏تُسَوَّى ‏ ‏الْقِدَاحُ ‏ ‏أَوْ الرِّمَاحُ ‏

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb who said: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say: the Prophet ﷺ used to straighten our rows as one of you straightens an arrow, until he saw that we had learned from him. Then he came out one day and stood until he was about to say the takbīr, and he saw a man whose chest protruded from the row. He said: 'Servants of Allah, you shall straighten your rows or Allah will cause discord among your faces.'

Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us: Sharīk narrated to us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No one is more knowledgeable of the time of this prayer — meaning the ʿIshāʾ prayer — than I: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray it when the moon would set on the third night of the month.'

ʿAffān narrated to us: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, from Ḥuṣayn, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: His father gave him a servant. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ to have him bear witness. He said: 'O Nuʿmān, do you have children other than him?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Have you given each of them a servant?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then take him back.'

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: 'The likeness of the one who observes the limits of Allah and the one who falls into them is like a people who drew lots for seats on a ship. Some of them got the upper part and some the lower. When those below wanted water, they had to pass by those above them. They said: If we bored a hole in our share, we would not harm those above us. If they left them to do what they wanted, they would all perish. But if they took hold of their hands, they would be saved and they would all be saved.'

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Qatādah who said: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say — upon the minbar: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion is like the body: when one limb of it complains, the rest of the body responds with sleeplessness and fever.'

And when the ʿEid and the Friday prayer coincided on the same day, he would recite them both — in the ʿEid prayer and in the Friday prayer.

Wakīʿ narrated to us: Zakariyyā ibn Abī Zāʾidah narrated to us, from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. Whoever leaves what he suspects to be sinful for what he does not suspect is sinful has cleared himself. And whoever takes the courage to do what he is doubtful about is liable to fall into what is clearly unlawful. And sins are the sanctuary of Allah; whoever grazes around a sanctuary is liable to enter it.'

Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Isrāʾīl, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-ʿĪzār ibn Ḥurayth, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: Abū Bakr came seeking permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and he heard ʿĀʾishah raising her voice at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He was given permission and entered, and said: 'O daughter of Umm Rūmān!' — and he reached for her — 'Do you raise your voice at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' the Prophet ﷺ intervened between him and her. When Abū Bakr left, the Prophet ﷺ began saying to her, seeking to please her: 'Do you not see that I intervened between the man and you?' Then Abū Bakr came again and sought permission, and found him laughing with her. He was given permission and entered, and Abū Bakr said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, include me in your peace as you included me in your war.'

Wakīʿ narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Jābir, from Abū ʿĀzib, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'For everything there is accidental injury except the sword, and for every accidental injury there is compensation.'

Yazīd narrated to us: Shuʿbah informed us, from Abū Bishr, from Bashīr ibn Thābit, from Ḥabīb ibn Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: I am the most knowledgeable of people — or among the most knowledgeable — of the time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the ʿIshāʾ prayer: he used to pray it when the moon would set on the third — or fourth — night of the month.

Yazīd narrated to us: Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūbah and Abū al-ʿAlāʾ informed us, from Qatādah, from Ḥabīb ibn Sālim who said: A case was brought to al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr of a man whose wife had permitted her slave-girl to him. He said: 'I shall judge in this with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: if she had permitted her to him, I will lash him one hundred lashes; and if she had not permitted her to him, I will stone him.' He found that she had indeed permitted her, so he lashed him one hundred lashes.

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb who said: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه delivering a sermon, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon, saying: 'I warn you of the Fire! I warn you of the Fire! I warn you of the Fire!' — until even a man in the marketplace could have heard him from where I stand. He said: Until a striped cloak that was on his shoulder fell to his feet.

ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us: Isrāʾīl informed us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb, that he heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I warn you of the Fire! I warn you of the Fire!' — until even a man at the farthest end of the marketplace could hear his voice while he was upon the minbar.

Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, from Zāʾidah, from Simāk, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten us in the rows as though he were aligning arrows. When he was about to say the takbīr, he saw a man whose chest was protruding, and he said: 'You shall straighten your rows or Allah will cause discord among your faces.'

Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, from Zāʾidah, from Simāk, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The likeness of the one who strives in the way of Allah is like the one who fasts during the day and stands in prayer at night — until he returns, whenever he returns.'

Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb narrated to us: Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us: Nuʿaym ibn Ziyād Abū Ṭalḥah al-Anmārī narrated to me that he heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say upon the minbar of Ḥimṣ: We stood with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the twenty-third in the month of Ramaḍān until the first third of the night. Then we stood with him on the night of the twenty-fifth until midnight. Then he stood with us on the night of the twenty-seventh until we thought we would not reach al-falāḥ — and they used to call the suḥūr 'al-falāḥ.' As for us, we say the seventh night is the night of the twenty-seventh, while you say the seventh is the night of the twenty-third — so who is more correct, we or you?

Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb narrated to us: Ḥusayn ibn Wāqid narrated to us: Simāk ibn Ḥarb narrated to me, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever lends something, or gives milk to drink, or guides through a path, or gifts a water-skin — it is equivalent to freeing a slave.'

Abū al-Naḍr narrated to us: al-Mubārak narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: We accompanied the Prophet ﷺ and heard him say: 'Indeed, before the Hour there will be tribulations like pieces of a dark night: a man will wake up a believer and by evening become a disbeliever, and he will be a believer in the evening and wake up a disbeliever. People will sell their share of the Hereafter for a small portion of this world — or for a portion of this world.' Al-Ḥasan said: 'By Allah, we have seen them — figures without minds, bodies without intellect, moths of fire and flies of greed. They go out for two dirhams and return for two dirhams. One of them sells his religion for the price of a goat.'

ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim narrated to us, from Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from Ḥabīb ibn Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: A woman came to al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr and said that her husband had intercourse with her slave-girl. He said: 'I shall judge in this with the judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: if you had permitted her to him, I will strike him one hundred lashes; and if you had not permitted her to him, I will stone him.'

Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī narrated to us: Dāwūd ibn Ibrāhīm al-Wāsiṭī narrated to me: Ḥabīb ibn Sālim narrated to me, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: We were sitting in the mosque with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Bashīr was a man who would guard his speech. Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī came and said: 'O Bashīr ibn Saʿd, do you remember the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the rulers?' Ḥudhayfah said: 'I remember his sermon.' So Abū Thaʿlabah sat down. Ḥudhayfah said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Prophethood will remain among you as long as Allah wills it to remain, then He will lift it when He wills to lift it. Then there will be a caliphate upon the way of prophethood, and it will remain as long as Allah wills it to remain, then He will lift it when He wills to lift it. Then there will be a biting kingship, and it will remain as long as Allah wills it to remain, then He will lift it when He wills to lift it. Then there will be a tyrannical kingship, and it will remain as long as Allah wills it to remain, then He will lift it when He wills to lift it. Then there will be a caliphate upon the way of prophethood.' Then he fell silent. Ḥabīb said: When ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz came to power, and Yazīd ibn al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr was among his companions, I wrote this hadith to him, reminding him of it, and I said to him: 'I hope that the Commander of the Faithful — meaning ʿUmar — is after the biting and tyrannical kingship.' My letter was brought to ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, and he was pleased by it and delighted.

Yūnus narrated to us: Layth narrated to us, from Yazīd ibn Abī Ḥabīb, from Khālid ibn Kathīr al-Hamdānī, who narrated to him that al-Sarī ibn Ismāʿīl al-Kūfī narrated to him, that al-Shaʿbī narrated to him, that he heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, from wheat comes wine, from barley comes wine, from raisins comes wine, from dates comes wine, and from honey comes wine. And I forbid every intoxicant.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏حَسَنٌ ‏ ‏وَبَهْزٌ ‏ ‏الْمَعْنَى ‏ ‏قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏أَظُنُّهُ ‏ ‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سَافَرَ رَجُلٌ بِأَرْضٍ تَنُوفَةٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏حَسَنٌ ‏ ‏فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏ ‏يَعْنِي ‏ ‏فَلَاةً ‏ ‏فَقَالَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ وَمَعَهُ ‏ ‏رَاحِلَتُهُ ‏ ‏وَعَلَيْهَا سِقَاؤُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَلَمْ يَرَهَا فَعَلَا ‏ ‏شَرَفًا ‏ ‏فَلَمْ يَرَهَا ثُمَّ عَلَا ‏ ‏شَرَفًا ‏ ‏فَلَمْ يَرَهَا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِهَا تَجُرُّ ‏ ‏خِطَامَهَا ‏ ‏فَمَا هُوَ بِأَشَدَّ بِهَا فَرَحًا مِنْ اللَّهِ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏بَهْزٌ ‏ ‏عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ إِلَيْهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏بَهْزٌ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏حَمَّادٌ ‏ ‏أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏

Ḥasan and Bahz narrated to us — with the same meaning — they said: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه — he said: I believe it is from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — who said: A man was traveling in a barren land — Ḥasan said in his narration: meaning a desert — and he lay down under a tree with his riding camel, upon which was his water and food. He awoke and did not find it. He climbed a hilltop but did not see it. He climbed another hilltop but did not see it. Then he turned and there it was, dragging its reins. His joy at finding it was not greater than Allah's joy at the repentance of His servant when he repents. Bahz said: 'when he repents to Him.' Bahz said: Ḥammād said: I believe it is from the Prophet ﷺ.

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَفَّانُ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏حَبِيبِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَالْجُمُعَةِ ‏ ‏بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ‏ ‏وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ‏ ‏وَرُبَّمَا اجْتَمَعَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا ‏ ‏وَقَدْ قَالَ ‏ ‏أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ‏ ‏وَرُبَّمَا اجْتَمَعَ عِيدَانِ فِي يَوْمٍ ‏

ʿAffān narrated to us: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Muntashir, from his father, from Ḥabīb ibn Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the two ʿEid prayers and on Friday: {Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High} and {Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming Event?}. And sometimes when the two ʿEids coincided on the same day, he would recite them in both. Abū ʿAwānah said: And sometimes two ʿEids coincided on the same day.

Sufyān narrated to us: Mujālid narrated to us who said: I heard al-Shaʿbī say: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه say — while he was governor of al-Kūfah: My father gave me a servant, so I came to the Prophet ﷺ to have him bear witness. He said: 'Have you given all your children such gifts?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then I will not bear witness to injustice.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏مُجَالِدٍ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الشَّعْبِيِّ ‏ ‏سَمِعَهُ ‏ ‏مِنْ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏مَثَلُ ‏ ‏الْمُدَّهِنِ ‏ ‏وَالْوَاقِعِ فِي حُدُودِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏مَرَّةً الْقَائِمِ فِي حُدُودِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏مَثَلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَكِبُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ فَصَارَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَسْفَلُهَا وَأَوْعَرُهَا وَشَرُّهَا فَكَانَ ‏ ‏يَخْتَلِفُ وَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّمَا مَرَّ فَقَالَ أَخْرِقُ خَرْقًا يَكُونُ أَهْوَنَ عَلَيَّ وَلَا يَكُونُ مُخْتَلَفِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَخْرِقُ فِي نَصِيبِهِ وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ لَا فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ نَجَا وَنَجَوْا وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُ هَلَكَ وَهَلَكُوا ‏

Sufyān narrated to us, from Mujālid, from al-Shaʿbī — he heard it from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr: I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'The likeness of the one who compromises regarding the limits of Allah and the one who falls into them is like three people who boarded a ship. One of them got the lower, rougher, and worst part. He would go back and forth, and it became burdensome for him each time he passed. So he said: Let me bore a hole so it will be easier for me and I will not have to go past them. Some of them said: He is only boring a hole in his own share. But others said: No! If they take hold of his hands, he will be saved and they will be saved. But if they leave him, he will perish and they will perish.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏مُجَالِدٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏الشَّعْبِيُّ ‏ ‏سَمِعَهُ مِنَ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَكُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ لَا أَسْمَعَ أَحَدًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ ‏ ‏مُضْغَةً ‏ ‏إِذَا سَلِمَتْ وَصَحَّتْ سَلِمَ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ وَصَحَّ وَإِذَا ‏ ‏سَقِمَتْ ‏ ‏سَقِمَ ‏ ‏سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ وَفَسَدَ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ ‏

Sufyān narrated to us, from Mujālid: al-Shaʿbī narrated to us — he heard it from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — and whenever he would say 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' I thought I would never hear anyone on the minbar say 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ' again — say: 'Indeed, in the human being there is a piece of flesh: if it is healthy and sound, the rest of the body is healthy and sound; and if it is sick, the rest of the body is sick and corrupted. Indeed, it is the heart.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏أَخْبَرَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّ أَهْوَنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَرَجُلٌ يُوضَعُ فِي ‏ ‏أَخْمَصِ ‏ ‏قَدَمَيْهِ جَمْرَتَانِ يَغْلِي مِنْهُمَا دِمَاغُهُ ‏

Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us: Shuʿbah informed us who said: I heard Abū Isḥāq say: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه while he was delivering a sermon, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed, the lightest in punishment among the people of the Fire on the Day of Resurrection is a man who will have two embers placed on the arches of his feet, from which his brain will boil.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏رَوْحٌ ‏ ‏وَعَفَّانُ ‏ ‏قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجَرْمِيِّ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏ ‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَأَنْزَلَ مِنْهُ آيَتَيْنِ فَخَتَمَ بِهِمَا سُورَةَ ‏ ‏الْبَقَرَةِ ‏ ‏وَلَا يُقْرَأَانِ فِي دَارٍ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَيَقْرَبَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏عَفَّانُ ‏ ‏فَلَا تُقْرَبَنَّ ‏

Rawḥ and ʿAffān narrated to us — they said: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from al-Ashʿath ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jarmī, from Abū Qilābah, from Abū al-Ashʿath al-Ṣanʿānī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, Allah wrote a book two thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, and He revealed from it two verses with which He concluded Sūrat al-Baqarah. They are not recited in a house for three nights without the Shayṭān coming near it.' ʿAffān said: 'without it being approached.'
