[Machine] A man went out from Khaybar, and two men followed him, and a man behind them reciting, saying, "Return until you catch up with them." So they turned around and then he said, "Indeed, these two are Shaytans. Recite upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and inform him that we are collecting our charity. If it was suitable for him, we would have sent it to him." He said, "When he arrived at the Prophet, peace be upon him, he informed him. At that, he prohibited him from seclusion."  

الحاكم:٢٤٩٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي قَالَا ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ فَتَبِعَهُ رَجُلَانِ وَرَجُلٌ يَتْلُوهُمَا يَقُولُ ارْجِعَا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُمَا فَرَدَّهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ شَيْطَانَانِ فَاقْرَأْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّلَامَ وَأَعْلِمْهُ أَنَّا فِي جَمْعِ صَدَقَاتِنَا لَوْ كَانَتْ تَصْلُحُ لَهُ لَبَعَثْنَا بِهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ «فَنَهَى عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْخَلْوَةِ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري

ahmad:2719 – Zakariyyā b. ʿAdī > ʿUbaydullāh > ʿAbd al-Karīm > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] A man came out of Khaybar and two men followed him. Another man came after them, reciting to them saying, "Go back, go back, until they return!" Then, the first man caught up with them and said, "Indeed, these two are Shaytans (devils), and I have not left them until I sent them back." When you come to the Messenger of Allah, convey the greetings of peace to him and inform him that we are here gathering our sadaqah (charitable contributions). If it was suitable for him, we would have sent it to him. Upon hearing this, when the man reached the city, he informed the Prophet ﷺ. At that moment, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade seclusion.  

أحمد:٢٧١٩ – حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلانِ وَآخَرُيَتْلُوهُمَا يَقُولُ ارْجِعَا ارْجِعَا حَتَّى رَدَّهُمَا ثُمَّ لَحِقَ الْأَوَّلَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَزَلْ بِهِمَا حَتَّى رَدَدْتُهُمَا فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَقْرِئْهُ السَّلامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّا هَاهُنَا فِي جَمْعِ صَدَقَاتِنَا وَلَوْ كَانَتْ تَصْلُحُ لَهُ لَبَعَثْنَا بِهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَلْوَةِ

[Machine] A man went out and two men followed him, and there was a man who recited behind them, saying "Return." So they returned. He said to him, "Indeed, these two are Shaytans (devils), and I have not stopped with them until I have returned them. When you meet the Prophet ﷺ , give him the greetings of peace, and inform him that we are in the gathering of our charities. Even if it was suitable for him, we would have sent it to him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade seclusion at that moment.  

أحمد:٢٥١٠ – حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي الْخَطَّابِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
