Hadith of Hisham ibn ‘Amir al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (١)، ١٦٢٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ قَرْحٌ، وَجَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ (٢) نُقَدِّمُ؟ قَالَ: " أَكْثَرَهُمْ جَمْعًا، وَأَخْذًا (٣) لِلْقُرْآنِ " (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Hisham bin Amir that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, people suffered great wounds and difficulties. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three people in each grave. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who should be placed first? He said: The one who knows more of the Qur'an.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يَشْتَرُونَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ نَسِيئَةً إِلَى الْعَطَاءِ، فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِمْ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَنَهَاهُمْ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَانَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ نَسِيئَةً " وَأَنْبَأَنَا - أَوْ قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنَا - أَنَّ، ، ذَلِكَ هُوَ الرِّبَا (١)،

Abu Qilabah says that people used to take gold on credit until the date of receiving their salary in silver. Hisham bin ‘Amir forbade them and said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade us from buying and selling gold on credit in exchange for silver, and informed that this is pure usury.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَشْيَاخِهِمْ، قَالَ: قَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ لِجِيرَانِهِ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتَخُطُّونَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ مَا كَانُوا بِأَحْضَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَا أَوْعَى لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا بَيْنَ خَلْقِ آدَمَ إِلَى قِيَامِ السَّاعَةِ، أَمْرٌ أَكْبَرُ (٢) مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ " (٣)، ،

Hisham bin 'Amir once said to his neighbors, "You people go to those individuals who were neither more present in the court of Prophethood than me, nor more memorizing of hadith than me. I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'From the creation of Adam until the coming of the Hour, there is no event greater than the Dajjal.'"

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتَخُطُّونَ إِلَى أَقْوَامٍ مَا هُمْ بِأَعْلَمَ بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَّا، قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ (١) قُرْآنًا "، (٢) وَكَانَ أَبِي أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ، ،

It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that you people go to those individuals who do not know the ahadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) better than me. On the day of the Battle of Uhud, my father was martyred. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three people in one grave. Place the one who knows more of the Qur’an first. And since my father knew more of the Qur’an, he was placed first.

قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " وَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ خَلْقِ آدَمَ إِلَى قِيَامِ السَّاعَةِ أَمْرٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ " (١)،

And I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say that between the creation of our master Adam and the Hour, there is no event greater than the Dajjal.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: شَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقَرْحَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَقَالُوا: كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلَانَا؟ قَالَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا فِي الْقَبْرِ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةَ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا " قَالَ هِشَامٌ: فَقُدِّمَ أَبِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ اثْنَيْنِ (٢)، ،

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: قَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَةَ الْعَدَوِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ مُسْلِمًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَ تَصَارَمَا (١) فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ فَإِنَّهُمَا نَاكِبَانِ عَنِ الْحَقِّ مَا دَامَا عَلَى صُرَامِهِمَا، وَأَوَّلُهُمَا فَيْئًا فَسَبْقُهُ (٢) بِالْفَيْءِ، كَفَّارَتُهُ فَإِنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ، وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَلَامَهُ رَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَرَدَّ عَلَى الْآخَرِ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَإِنْ مَاتَا عَلَى صُرَامِهِمَا لَمْ يَجْتَمِعَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَبَدًا " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: It is not permissible for a Muslim to sever relations with his Muslim brother for more than three days. If both of them remain silent towards each other for more than three days, then as long as they remain in this state, they will remain away from the truth. And whoever reconciles first, his initiative will be an expiation for him. If he greets the other but the other does not reply, then the angels will respond to the one who greeted, and Satan will respond to the one who refused. If both die in the state of severing relations, they will never be able to be together in Paradise.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ مُسْلِمًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ، فَإِنَّهُمَا نَاكِبَانِ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، مَا دَامَا عَلَى صُرَامِهِمَا، وَأَوَّلُهُمَا فَيْئًا يَكُونُ سَبْقُهُ بِالْفَيْءِ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ، وَإِنْ سَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَلَامَهُ، رَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَرَدَّ عَلَى الْآخَرِ الشَّيْطَانُ، وَإِنْ مَاتَا عَلَى صُرَامِهِمَا لَمْ يَدْخُلَا الْجَنَّةَ جَمِيعًا أَبَدًا " (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ: جَاءَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَصَابَنَا قَرْحٌ وَجَهْدٌ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ " قَالُوا: فَأَيُّهُمْ نُقَدِّمُ؟ قَالَ: " أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا " قَالَ: فَقُدِّمَ أَبِي عَامِرٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ أَوْ اثْنَيْنِ (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Ansar came to the Prophet’s court and said: O Messenger of Allah! The people have suffered great wounds and difficulties. What do you command us now? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three men in one grave. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! Whom should we place first? He said: The one who knows more of the Qur’an. Thus, my father ‘Amir was placed before one or two men.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ رَأْسَ الدَّجَّالِ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ حُبُكٌ، حُبُكٌ، فَمَنْ قَالَ: أَنْتَ رَبِّي، افْتُتِنَ، وَمَنْ قَالَ: كَذَبْتَ، رَبِّي اللهُ، عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ، فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ - أَوْ قَالَ: فَلَا فِتْنَةَ عَلَيْهِ - " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Hisham that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The back of the Dajjal’s head will appear as if there are paths in it. So whoever accepts him as his Lord will fall into tribulation, and whoever denies him and says, "My Allah is my Lord and I trust in Him alone," then he (the Dajjal) will not be able to harm him in any way.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَوْسِعُوا، وَأَحْسِنُوا وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا "، فَكَانَ أَبِي ثَالِثَ ثَلَاثَةٍ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا فَقُدِّمَ (١)،

It is narrated from Hisham bin ‘Amir that you people go to those individuals who do not know the ahadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) better than me. On the day of the Battle of Uhud, my father was martyred. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Dig the graves wide and bury two or three people in one grave. Place the one who knows more of the Qur’an first. And since my father knew more of the Qur’an, he was placed first.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّهْمَاءِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: شَكَوْا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْقَرْحِ، فَقَالَ: " احْفِرُوا وَأَحْسِنُوا، وَأَوْسِعُوا (٢) وَادْفِنُوا الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ، وَقَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا "، فَمَاتَ أَبِي، فَقُدِّمَ بَيْنَ، ، يَدَيْ رَجُلَيْنِ، (١)،

And since my father knew more of the Qur’an, he was placed first.

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ (٢) بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، (٣)، ،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, however, there is this addition in it: "Dig deep."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ حَازِمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ: وَأَعْمِقُوا (١)،

Affan narrated to us, he said: I heard Jarir ibn Hazim narrating this hadith from Humayd ibn Hilal, and he added in it from Sa'd ibn Hisham, and he added in it: "and make it deep."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا بَيْنَ خَلْقِ آدَمَ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ فِتْنَةٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Hisham bin 'Amir that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Between the creation of Adam and the coming of the Hour, there is no event greater than the Dajjal."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ،، ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْبَصْرَةَ، فَوَجَدَهُمْ يَتَبَايَعُونَ الذَّهَبَ فِي أُعْطِيَاتِهِمْ، فَقَامَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالْوَرِقِ نَسِيئَةً، وَأَخْبَرَنَا - أَوْ قَالَ - إِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الرِّبَا " (١)،

Abu Qilabah says that once Hisham bin 'Amir came to Basra and saw that people used to take gold on credit in exchange for silver until the date of receiving their stipend. Hisham bin 'Amir forbade them and said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade us from buying and selling gold on credit in exchange for silver and informed that this is exactly usury.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّهْمَاءِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتُجَاوِزُونَ إِلَى رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا كَانُوا أَحْصَى وَلَا أَحْفَظَ لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا بَيْنَ آدَمَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمْرٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ " (٢)، ،
