حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا ثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ ثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ عَن أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ أَخْبَرَهُ عَن أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَ
لَّمَ الْخَيْمَةُ دُرَّةٌ مُجَوَّفَةٌ طُولُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ سِتُّونَ مِيلًا فِي كُلِّ زَاوِيَةٍ أَهْلٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ لَا يَرَاهُمْ الْآخَرُونَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ ثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ ثَنَا قَتَادَةُ وَذَكَر نَحْوَهُ آخِرُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ وَهُوَ آخِرُ مُسْنَدِ الْكُوفِيِّينَ

ʿAbd al-Ṣamad and ʿAffān narrated to us, they said: Hammām narrated to us, he said: Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī narrated to us. He said: Abū Bakr — ʿAffān said: from Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Qays al-Ashʿarī — informed him, from his father who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The tent is a hollowed-out pearl, its height in the sky is sixty miles. In every corner the believer has a family whom the others do not see.’ ʿAbd al-Ṣamad narrated to us, he said: Hammām narrated to us, he said: Qatādah narrated to us — and he mentioned something similar. This is the last hadith of Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī رضي الله تعالى عنه, and it is the last of Book 37.
