Question

What is the status of this narration?

إن الله عز وجل يباهي بالـمتقلد سيفه في سبيل الله ملائكته وهم يصلون عليه ما دام متقلده

 

Answer

This narration is recorded in Tarikh Baghdad as part of a longer narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Tarikh Baghdad, vol. 9, pg. 365)

However, the Muhaddithun have declared this narration a fabrication. It is therefore not suitable to quote.

(Refer: Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 2, pg. 177)

Translation

Certainly Allah Ta’ala boasts to the angels regarding those whose swords are hung around their neck in His path, and they [the angels] make [du’a of forgiveness] for him as long as his sword remains around his neck.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

تاريخ بغداد: (٩/ ٣٦٤)
أخبرنا أبو طاهر محمد بن علي بن محمد بن يوسف الواعظ، قال: حدثنا مخلد بن جعفر الدقاق، قال: حدثنا العباس بن أحمد بن أبي شحمة، قال: حدثنا دهثم بن الفضل، قال: حدثنا داود بن الجراح، قال: حدثنا أبو صالح الجزري، عن ضرار بن عمرو، عن مجاهد، عن علي، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «صلاة الرجل متقلدا سيفه يعني تفضل على صلاة غير المتقلد سبع مائة ضعف»، وسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إن الله يباهي بالمتقلد سيفه في سبيل الله ملائكته، وهم يصلون عليه ما دام متقلده».

تنزيه الشريعة: (٢/ ١٧٧)
«
صلاة الرجل متقلدا سيفه تفضل على صلاة غير المتقلد سبعمائة ضعف، إن الله تعالى يباهي بالمتقلد سيفه في سبيل الله ملائكته وهم يصلون عليه ما دام متقلده» (خط) من حديث علي، ولا يصح فيه ضرار بن عمرو متروك.
