Hadith of 'Adi ibn 'Umayrah al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ (١)، ١٧٧١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجَاءُ بْنُ حَيْوَةَ، وَالْعُرْسُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ: خَاصَمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ، رَجُلًا (٢) مِنْ حَضَرَمَوْتَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْضٍ، فَقَضَى عَلَى الْحَضْرَمِيِّ بِالْبَيِّنَةِ، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ، فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ: إِنْ (٣) أَمْكَنْتَهُ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَتْ وَاللهِ - أَوْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ - أَرْضِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " قَالَ رَجَاءُ: وَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل، ، عمران: ٧٧] فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ: مَاذَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " الْجَنَّةُ " قَالَ: فَاشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا لَهُ كُلَّهَا (١)،

It is narrated from Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man named Imru’ al-Qais bin ‘Abis from the tribe of Kindah had a dispute over a piece of land with a man from Hadhramaut in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) advised the Hadhrami to present witnesses, but he had no witnesses. The Prophet (ﷺ) then told Imru’ al-Qais to take an oath. The Hadhrami said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), if you allow him to take an oath, by the Lord of the Ka’bah, he will take my land." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes a false oath in order to unlawfully seize his brother’s property will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse: "Indeed, those who exchange Allah’s covenant and their oaths for a small price..." Imru’ al-Qais asked, "What will the one who gives up his right receive?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Paradise." Imru’ al-Qais said, "Then bear witness, I have given up all the land in his favor."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ،، ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ لَنَا عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَكَتَمَنَا مِنْهُ مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ، فَهُوَ غُلٌّ، يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْوَدُ - قَالَ مُجَالِدٌ: هُوَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ - كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْبَلْ عَنِّي عَمَلَكَ، فَقَالَ: " وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ " قَالَ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: " وَأَنَا أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ الْآنَ، مَنْ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَلْيَجِئْ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَهُ، وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Adi bin Umairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O people! Whoever among you is appointed to a task by us and he conceals from us even a thread or something less than that, it is a betrayal with which he will come on the Day of Resurrection. Upon hearing this, an Ansari of dark complexion stood up—he is still before my eyes—and said, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), please take back the responsibility you assigned to me. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, What happened? He said, I heard you say this. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Then I now say that whoever we appoint to a responsibility should bring everything, whether little or much, to us. Then, whatever is given to him from it, he may take, and from whatever he is forbidden, he should refrain. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (١)،

Waki' narrated to us, Ibn Abi Khalid narrated to us, from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, from 'Adi ibn 'Amirah al-Kindi, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whoever we appoint over a task," and he mentioned its meaning.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ " فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ (٢)، ،

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ (١) ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لَنَا، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَدِّي (٢) ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِعَمَلِ الْخَاصَّةِ، حَتَّى يَرَوْا الْمُنْكَرَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُنْكِرُوهُ فَلَا يُنْكِرُوهُ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، عَذَّبَ اللهُ الْخَاصَّةَ وَالْعَامَّةَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Adi bin Umairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: Allah does not punish the common people because of the actions of the elite, unless they (the common people) begin to commit sins openly and the elite, despite having the power to stop them, do not do so. Then Allah subjects both the elite and the common people to punishment. Hadith number 17868 is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ (١) ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، وَالْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَدِيٍّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (٢) ، قَالَ جَرِيرٌ: وَأخْبَرَنِي (٣) أَيُّوبُ - وَكُنَّا جَمِيعًا حِينَ سَمِعْنَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ عَدِيٍّ - قَالَ: قَالَ عَدِيٌّ، فِي حَدِيْثِ (٤) الْعُرْسُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ، وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٧٧] إِلَى آخِرِهَا وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ أَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ عَدِيٍّ (٥)، ،

Ibn Numayr narrated to us, Saif narrated to us, he said: I heard ‘Adi ibn ‘Adi al-Kindi narrating from Mujahid, he said: A mawla of ours narrated to me that he heard ‘Adi saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not punish the general public for the actions of the elite, until they see the evil among them and they are able to denounce it but do not denounce it. If they do that, Allah punishes both the elite and the general public." Yazid narrated to us, Jarir ibn Hazim narrated to us, he said: ‘Adi ibn ‘Adi narrated to me, from Raja’ ibn Haywah, and al-‘Urs ibn ‘Umayrah, from his father ‘Adi, and he mentioned the hadith. Jarir said: And Ayyub added for me, and we were all together when we heard the hadith from ‘Adi. He said: ‘Adi said, and al-‘Urs ibn ‘Umayrah narrated to us, so this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price..." (Surat Al ‘Imran, verse 77) to its end, and I did not memorize it that day from ‘Adi.

It is narrated from Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A previously married woman will express her consent verbally in the case of a second marriage, and the silence of a virgin is her consent.
