٦٩۔ كِتَابُ الْوَلَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the sale of allegiance and its gifting.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَهِبَتِهِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of loyalty and the gift of their sayings is equal
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of loyalty and giving it as a gift.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ
[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said: Brotherhood is like a body, where one part feels the pain, the rest of the body will be affected; it cannot be bought or gifted."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ كَذَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Al-Walaa is a flesh like the flesh of lineage, it cannot be bought or given away." The scholar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "And it has been narrated in other ways, all of which are weak."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ كُلُّهَا ضَعِيفَةٌ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Al-walaa' is a bond similar to the bond of kinship. It cannot be bought or given as a gift." Sulayman said, "I have not heard this hadith from Sufyan except as a whisper." The scholar said, "May Allah have mercy on him. Indeed, this hadith has been concealed."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ إِلَّا ضَمْرَةُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ قَدْ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: Loyalty is like a piece of flesh, it cannot be bought or gifted. This is a misconception of Yahya bin Sulaim or someone below him in the chain of narration. The narrators have indeed narrated it from Ubaidullah bin Umar, from Abdullah bin Dinar, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ that he prohibited the sale of loyalty and its gifting. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, narrated by Abu Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub verbally, narrated by Muhammad bin Ishaq al-Saghani, narrated by Shuja' bin al-Walid, narrated by Ubaidullah bin Umar and he mentioned it."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ هَذَا وَهْمٌ مِنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ أَوْ مَنْ دُونَهُ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ وَالْمَتْنِ جَمِيعًا فَإِنَّ الْحُفَّاظَ إِنَّمَا رَوَوْهُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ 21438 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ إِمْلَاءً أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ ثنا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , that he said: "Loyalty is like a piece of flesh." It was narrated to us by Imam Abu Uthman, through Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn Al-Fadl ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah, through his grandfather, through Al-Ziyadi, through Yahya ibn Sulaim, who mentioned it. This is a third difference from what Yahya ibn Sulaim mentioned, and he was weak in memory and made many mistakes. Allah knows best. The scholar, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "It was also narrated about this from Abdullah ibn Nafi' through two chains, and there is disagreement about it from Yahya ibn Abi Unaysah, through Al-Zuhri, through Saeed ibn Al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurairah, as a statement attributed to the Prophet, ﷺ . However, there is no reliable source for Al-Zuhri in this regard, and Yahya ibn Abi Unaysah is weak in narration in one instance. This statement is only narrated as Mursal (a type of Hadith without a complete chain of narrators) as we have mentioned, and it is also narrated from others besides the Prophet, ﷺ ."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَالنَّسَبِ 21439 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ الْإِمَامُ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ثنا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ثنا جَدِّي ثنا الزِّيَادِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهَذَا اخْتِلَافٌ ثَالِثٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ وَكَانَ سَيِّئَ الْحِفْظِ كَثِيرَ الْخَطَأِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ وَهِمَ فِيهِمَا وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِمَا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ مَرْفُوعًا وَلَيْسَ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ فِيهِ أَصْلٌ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ ضَعِيفٌ بِمَرَّةٍ وَإِنَّمَا يُرْوَى هَذَا اللَّفْظُ مُرْسَلًا كَمَا قَدَّمْنَا ذِكْرَهُ وَيُرْوَى عَمَّنْ دُونَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] Indeed, loyalty is like lineage. It cannot be bought or given as a gift. It was narrated by Hammad from Dawud and Qatadah from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib that Umar ibn al-Khattab mentioned it.
إِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ كَالنَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادٌ عَنْ دَاوُدَ وَقَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ فَذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] Loyalty is similar to swearing allegiance, which God has made obligatory wherever He has mentioned it.
الْوَلَاءُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْحِلْفِ أَقِرَّهُ حَيْثُ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Guardianship (loyalty) is like lineage, it cannot be sold or given as a gift, rather, it is granted to the one whom Allah has placed it upon.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ أَقِرَّهُ حَيْثُ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ
[Machine] I heard Ali saying that loyalty is a branch of lineage.
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَقُولُ الْوَلَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ النَّسَبِ
أَيَبِيعُ الرَّجُلُ نَسَبَهُ؟
[Machine] Loyalty cannot be bought nor can loyalty be given to someone who has been set free.
لَا يُبَاعُ الْوَلَاءُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ
لَا يُبَاعُ الْوَلَاءُ
وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ
