[Machine] "وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ يَالِيلَ بْنِ نَاشِبِ بْنِ غَيْرَةَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ لَيْثٍ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي كُنْيَتِهِ" translates to "Wathila bin Al-Asqaa bin Abdul Azza bin Abdul Yaleel bin Naseeb bin Ghayrah bin Saad bin Laith, their nickname differed."  

«وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ يَالِيلَ بْنِ نَاشِبِ بْنِ غَيْرَةَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ لَيْثٍ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي كُنْيَتِهِ»  

[Machine] Narrate to us a story that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , which is free from any falsehood, additions, or forgetfulness." He said, "Did any of you recite anything from the Quran tonight?" We replied, "Yes, but we are not skillful in memorizing it." He said, "This Quran is written among you, and you recite it without memorizing it. Yet, you claim that you increase and decrease it. So how about the traditions we heard from the Messenger of Allah? Perhaps we only heard them once. It is sufficient for you when we narrate a tradition according to its meaning." It has been said that his nickname was Abu Qirsafa. Imam al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his compilation.  

حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَهْمٌ وَلَا مَزِيدٌ وَلَا نِسْيَانٌ فَقَالَ «هَلْ قَرَأَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِالْحَافِظِينَ قَالَ «فَهَذَا الْقُرْآنُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ لَا تَأْلُونَ حِفْظَهُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تَزِيدُونَ وَتَنْقُصُونَ فَكَيْفَ بِأَحَادِيثَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَسَى أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ سَمِعْنَاهَا إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَسْبُكُمْ إِذَا جِئْنَاكُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ عَلَى مَعْنَاهُ» وَقَدْ قِيلَ كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو قِرْصَافَةَ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Do not fast Ramadan while traveling. Whoever fasts it should make up for it. Abu Al-Fayd said, 'I met Abu Qirsafa, Wathilah ibn Al-Asqa', and I asked him about it. He said, 'If I fasted and then fasted and then fasted, I could not make up for it.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent on summarizing it."  

لَا تَصُومُوا رَمَضَانَ فِي السَّفَرِ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ فَلْيَقْضِهِ قَالَ أَبُو الْفَيْضِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا قِرْصَافَةَ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «لَوْ صُمْتُ ثُمَّ صُمْتُ ثُمَّ صُمْتُ مَا قَضَيْتُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Wathila ibn al-Asqa' is known as Abu Qirsaftah. He had a house in Basra and it was said that his nickname was Abu Shaddad."  

«وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا قِرْصَافَةَ لَهُ دَارٌ بِالْبَصْرَةِ وَقَدْ قِيلَ كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو شَدَّادٍ»  

[Machine] I met Wathila ibn al-Asqa' and said, "How are you, Abu Shaddad?"  

لَقِيتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا شَدَّادٍ؟  

[Machine] Wathilah bin Al-Asqa' died at the age of 105 years and five years, in the year eighty-three.  

«تُوُفِّيَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَخَمْسِ سِنِينَ وَذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ»  

[Machine] I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in saying, "Wathila ibn al-Asqa died in the year eighty-three, at the age of one hundred and five years."  

سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ «تُوُفِّيَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَخَمْسِ سِنِينَ»  

[Machine] "My father used to sit facing the qibla after praying Fajr until the sun rose, and sometimes I would talk to him about a need but he would not respond. So I asked him, 'What's wrong?' He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever prays Fajr and then recites Qul Huwallahu Ahad one hundred times before speaking to anyone, his sins of a year will be forgiven."'  

كَانَ أَبِي إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ جَلَسَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَرُبَّمَا كَلَّمْتُهُ فِي الْحَاجَةِ فَلَا يُكَلِّمُنِي فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ أَحَدًا غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُ سَنَةٍ»  

[Machine] When I embraced Islam, I went to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said to me, "Go and perform ablution with water and lotus leaves, and remove the hair of disbelief from your head." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then wiped over my head.  

لَمَّا أَسْلَمْتُ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَأَلْقِ عَنْكَ شَعْرَ الْكُفْرِ» وَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَأْسِي
