[Machine] "Ziyad to Imran ibn Husein, 'Oh Abu Nujayd.'"  

زِيَادٌ لِعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ «يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ»  

[Machine] "Imran bin Husein bin Ubaid bin Khalaf bin Abd Nahem bin Huzmata bin Jahmata bin Ghadirah, also known by the nickname Abu Nujaid, embraced Islam early on along with his father, his sister, and he fought alongside the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in numerous battles. He stayed in his homeland and then migrated to Basra, where he resided until his death. His son was born and he, Imran bin Husein, also passed away in Basra. Imran bin Husein passed away in Basra one year before Ziyad, and Ziyad passed away in the fifty-fifth year."  

«وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَلَفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ نَهِمِ بْنِ حُزْمَةَ بْنِ جَهْمَةَ بْنِ غَاضِرَةَ وَيُكَنَّى أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ أَسْلَمَ قَدِيمًا هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ وَأُخْتُهُ وَغَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَزَوَاتٍ وَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي بِلَادِ قَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فَنَزَلَ بِهَا إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا وَوَلَدُهُ بِهَا وَتُوُفِّيَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ قَبْلَ زِيَادٍ بِسَنَةٍ وَتُوُفِّيَ زِيَادٌ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَخَمْسِينَ»  

[Machine] "Abu Nujaid Imran, the son of Al-Husayn, the son of Khalaf, the son of Abd Nahim Al-Khuzai, died in Basra in the year fifty-two."  

«مَاتَ أَبُو نُجَيْدٍ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ خَلَفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ نَهِمٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ»  

[Machine] "I went to Basra and entered the mosque, where I saw an old man leaning on a staff, talking. He said, 'The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then there will be people who will give testimony before they are asked.' So I asked, 'Who is this old man?' They replied, 'Imran ibn Husein.'"  

انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ مُسْتَنِدٌ إِلَى أُسْطُوَانَةٍ يُحَدِّثُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي أَقْوَامٌ يُعْطُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْأَلُوهَا» فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ؟ قَالُوا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ  

Ziyad, or some other governor, sent Imran ibn Husayn to collect sadaqah (i.e. zakat). When he returned, he asked Imran: Where is the property? He replied: Did you send me to bring the property? We collected it from where we used to collect in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we spent it where we used to spend during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1625)   

بَعَثَ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ سَاعِيًا فَجَاءَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مَعَهُ دِرْهَمٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيْنَ الْمَالُ؟ قَالَ «وَلِلْمَالِ أَرْسَلَتْنِي؟ أَخَذْنَاهَا كَمَا كُنَّا نَأْخُذُهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَوَضَعْنَاهَا فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَضَعُهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "Imran ibn al-Husayn was one of the most diligent companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in worship." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about him in his summarization.  

كَانَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ «مِنْ أَشَدِّ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ اجْتِهَادًا فِي الْعِبَادَةِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] No one from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have taken precedence over Imran ibn Husain in coming to Basra. Al-Dhahabi did not mention this in his summary.  

«مَا قَدِمَ أَحَدٌ الْبَصْرَةَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Al-Dhahabi on summarization.  

عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "So Imran cursed her (the camel). Then Nujayd came out fetching and recovering, and his camel amazed him. So he was asked, 'What happened to you?' He said, 'Abu Nujayd cursed my camel, and shortly after that her neck was severed.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the summary."  

فَلَعَنَهَا عِمْرَانُ فَخَرَجَ نُجَيْدٌ وَهُوَ يَسْتَرْجِعُ وَكَانَتْ نَاقَتُهُ تُعْجِبُهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا لِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَعَنَ أَبُو نُجَيْدٍ نَاقَتِي فَمَا لَبِثَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى انْدَقَّ عُنُقُهَا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The angels used to greet me at my head, at the house, and at the door of the chamber. But when I fell sick, that stopped. When I recovered, he spoke to me saying, "Know, O Mu'tarrif, that the one I used to long for has returned to me. Keep this secret until I die." Ibn Athir remained silent about it in his summary.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ تُسَلِّمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَيَّ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَعِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ وَعِنْدَ بَابِ الْحِجْرِ فَلَمَّا اكْتَوَيْتُ ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا بَرِئَ كَلَّمَهُ قَالَ «اعْلَمْ يَا مُطَرِّفُ أَنَّهُ عَادَ إِلَيَّ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَفْقِدُ اكْتُمْ عَلَيَّ يَا مُطَرِّفُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I have not touched my private part with my right hand since I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

«مَا مَسِسْتُ فَرْجِي بِيَمِينِي مُنْذُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "A man divorced his wife while he was in a gathering with three people. He said, 'A sin has befallen him, and his wife has become forbidden for him.' He then left and mentioned this to Abu Musa, intending to criticize him. Abu Musa replied, 'May Allah bless us with more (virtues) like Abu Nujaed.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary."  

رَجُلٌ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ «إِثْمٌ لَزِمَهُ وَحُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتُهُ» فَانْطَلَقَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي مُوسَى يُرِيدُ عَيْبَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى «أَكْثَرَ اللَّهُ فِينَا مِثْلَ أَبِي نُجَيْدٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
