Hadith of Ubayd, the freed slave of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

حَدِيثُ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١)، ٢٣٦٥٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِصَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ، أَوْ سِوَى الْمَكْتُوبَةِ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ " (٢)،

Someone asked Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to instruct any prayer besides the obligatory prayers. He replied, "Yes! He used to instruct (prayer) between Maghrib and Isha."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ فِي مَجْلِسِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ فِي مَجْلِسِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ صَامَتَا وَأَنَّ رَجُلًا، ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَاهُنَا امْرَأَتَيْنِ قَدْ صَامَتَا، وَإِنَّهُمَا قَدْ كَادَتَا أَنْ تَمُوتَا مِنَ الْعَطَشِ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ، ثُمَّ عَادَ، وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ: بِالْهَاجِرَةِ، قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنَّهُمَا وَاللهِ قَدْ مَاتَتَا أَوْ كَادَتَا أَنْ تَمُوتَا قَالَ: " ادْعُهُمَا " قَالَ: فَجَاءَتَا، قَالَ: فَجِيءَ بِقَدَحٍ أَوْ عُسٍّ فَقَالَ لِإِحْدَاهُمَا: " قِيئِي " فَقَاءَتْ قَيْحًا أَوْ دَمًا وَصَدِيدًا (١) وَلَحْمًا حَتَّى قَاءَتْ نِصْفَ الْقَدَحِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْأُخْرَى: " قِيئِي " فَقَاءَتْ مِنْ قَيْحٍ وَدَمٍ وَصَدِيدٍ وَلَحْمٍ عَبِيطٍ وَغَيْرِهِ حَتَّى مَلَأَتِ الْقَدَحَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ صَامَتَا عَمَّا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُمَا، وَأَفْطَرَتَا عَلَى مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمَا، جَلَسَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى، فَجَعَلَتَا يَأْكُلَانِ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the Prophetic era, two women were fasting. A man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! There are two women here who are fasting, but due to thirst they are near death." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) heard this and remained silent or turned away. He came again at midday and said, "O Prophet of Allah! By Allah, they will die." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bring them here." When both of them came, a bowl was called for. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to one of them, "Vomit into it." She vomited, and blood, pus, and pieces of flesh came out until half the bowl was filled. Then he said the same to the other, and she also vomited the same things until the bowl was full. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "They abstained from what Allah made lawful and kept the fast, but by indulging in what Allah made unlawful, they broke the fast. Both of them were sitting together eating the flesh of people (i.e., backbiting)."

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ، قَالَ: طَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ فِي مَجْلِسِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ فَحَدَّثَنَا، ، عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ " صَلَاتَهُ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ " (١)،

Someone asked Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to instruct about any prayer besides the obligatory prayers. He replied, "Yes! He used to instruct between Maghrib and Isha." Hadith number (24053) is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدٌ، أَوْ عُبَيْدٌ، عُثْمَانُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ أُمِرُوا بِصِيَامٍ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بَعْضَ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانَةَ قَدْ بَلَغَهُمَا الْجَهْدُ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ، وَابْنِ عدي (٢) عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ (٣)،

Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, 'Uthman ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, he said: I was with Abu 'Uthman, he said: Then a man from the people said: Sa'd or 'Ubayd narrated to us—'Uthman ibn Ghiyath, who is uncertain—which is the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that they were commanded to fast. He said: Then a man came during part of the day and said: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so and so-and-so have reached exhaustion. Then he mentioned the meaning of the hadith of Yazid and Ibn Abi 'Ubayd from Sulayman...

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ، فِي حَلْقَةِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَي سَعْدٌ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ أُمِرُوا بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بَعْضَ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ فُلَانَةَ وَفُلَانَةَ قَدْ بَلَغَهُمَا الْجَهْدُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (٤)، ،

Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from 'Uthman, a man in the gathering of Abu 'Uthman narrated to us, he said: Sa'd, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, narrated to me that they were commanded to fast for a day, and a man came during part of the day and said: O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so and so-and-so have been overcome by hardship. He turned away from him, and he mentioned the rest of the hadith.
