Hadith 42
أبشر يا علي، حياتك وموتك معي.
Rejoice, O ‘Ali. Your life and death is with me.
Al Tabarani and others narrate — from ‘Ubadah ibn Ziyad al Asadi — Qais ibn al Rabi’ — from Abu Ishaq — from Abu al Bakhtari — from Hujr ibn ‘Adi who said, “I heard Sharahil ibn Murrah say: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam say to ‘Ali radiya Llahu ‘anhu…’”[1]
The chain of transmission is wah (feeble). It contains the following defects:
- Qais ibn al Rabi’’s son inserted hadith into his father’s collection that are not his.
- Abu Ishaq is a mudallis[2] (obfuscates when he narrates) and a mukhtalit (commits serious errors).
- There is a difference of opinion regarding ‘Ubadah ibn Ziyad al Asadi. He has ahadith that are manakir (unacceptable) regarding fadaʾil (virtues).
Ibn ‘Asakir also narrates this hadith with a chain of transmission that is saqit (wholly unreliable).[3] It contains the narrator ‘Amr ibn Shimr. He is suspected of lying.
It also contains Jabir. He is (also) suspected of lying.
It also contains Abu Tawq. I could not trace him.
