20. Book of Marriage
٢٠۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] "I wander on camels that have gone astray during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . While I was wandering in the valleys, suddenly a group of riders and horsemen approached, they circled around and took out a man. They neither asked him nor spoke to him, until they struck him and killed him. After they left, I inquired about him and they said he was married to his father's wife. Its chain of narration is sound."
إِنِّي لَأَطُوفُ عَلَى إِبِلٍ لِي ضَلَّتْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجُولُ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَكْبٍ وَفَوَارِسَ جَاءُوا فَأَطَافُوا فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا رَجُلًا فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ وَلَا كَلَّمُوهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ قَالُوا عَرَّسَ بِامْرَأَةِ أَبِيهِ إسناده مليح
[Machine] Ghaylan bin Salamah al-Thaqafi embraced Islam, and he had ten wives. "So the Prophet, peace be upon him, commanded him to keep four of them." This is narrated by the early companions of Sa'id bin Zurai' and Ismail bin 'Ulayyah and Ghundar and the Imams of the Hafiz from the people of Basrah. Imam Muslim bin al-Hajjaj ruled that "this hadith is one of the fabrications by Ma'mar in Basrah." However, if it is narrated from him by trustworthy individuals outside of Basrah, we consider it authentic. I found Sufyan al-Thawri and Abdul Rahman bin Muhammad al-Muharibi and Isa bin Yunus, all of them being from Kufa, narrating it from Ma'mar.
أَسْلَمَ غَيْلَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ «فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا» هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْمُتَقَدِّمُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ سَعِيدٍ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَغُنْدَرٌ وَالْأَئِمَّةُ الْحُفَّاظُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ وَقَدْ حَكَمَ الْإِمَامُ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ «أَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِمَّا وَهَمَ فِيهِ مَعْمَرٌ بِالْبَصْرَةِ» فَإِنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْهُ ثِقَةٌ خَارِجَ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ حَكَمْنَا لَهُ بِالصِّحَّةِ فَوَجَدْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيَّ وَعِيسَى بْنَ يُونُسَ وَثَلَاثَتَهُمْ كُوفِيُّونَ حَدَّثُوا بِهِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ
[Machine] That Ghailan ibn Salama accepted Islam and had ten wives, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to choose four of them.
أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَسْلَمَ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ «فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا»
