Question

What is status of following Hadith of Musnad Imam Shafi’i? And can it be quoted? Hadith: 315

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الأَزْهَرِ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: أُتِيَ جِبْرَئِيلُ بِمِرْآةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فِيهَا وَكْتَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَا هَذَا؟“ قَالَ: هَذِهِ الْجُمُعَةُ فُضِّلْتَ بِهَا أَنْتَ وَأُمَّتَكَ، فَالنَّاسُ لَكُمْ فِيهَا تَبَعٌ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى، وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ، وَفِيهَا سَاعَةٌ لا يُوَافِقُهَا مُؤْمِنٌ يَدْعُو اللهَ بِخَيْرٍ إِلا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ وَهُوَ عِنْدَنَا يَوْمُ الْمَزِيدِ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا جِبْرَئِيلُ مَا يَوْمُ الْمَزِيدِ؟» قَالَ: إِنَّ رَبَّكَ اتَّخَذَ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ وَادِيًا أَفْيَحَ فِيهِ كُثُبُ مِسْكٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ مَا شَاءَ مِنْ مَلائِكَتِهِ وَحَوْلَهُ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ عَلَيْهَا مَقَاعِدُ لِلنَّبِيِّينَ وَحَفَّ تِلْكَ الْمَنَابِرَ بِمَنَابِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُكَلَّلَةٍ بِالْيَاقُوتِ وَالزَّبَرْجَدِ، عَلَيْهَا الشُّهَدَاءُ وَالصِّدِّيقُونَ فَجلَسُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْكُثُبِ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ لَهُمْ: أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ قَدْ صَدَقْتُكُمْ وَعْدِي فَسَلُونِي أُعْطِكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِضْوَانَكَ، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْكُمْ، وَلَكُمْ عَلَى مَا تَمَنَّيْتُمْ وَلَدَيَّ مَزِيدٌ فَهُمْ يُحِبُّونَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِمَا يُعْطِيهِمْ فِيهِ رَبُّهُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي اسْتَوَى رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِيهِ، وَفِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ.

And especially this part وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي اسْتَوَى رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِيهِ

What is its status because in other narrations like this in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba (5560) and in Mu’jamul Awsat of Tabarani (6717), this part (وَهُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي اسْتَوَى رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِيهِ) is not present. So can this portion be quoted then?

 

Answer

This Hadith is famously known as ‘Hadithu Yawmil Mazid’ and is recorded with various wordings in different Hadith references. Some Hadith masters wrote dedicated booklets in which they collected these different chains and their variated wordings.

My esteemed teacher; Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (may Allah protect him) has concluded that the chains of Musnad Abi Ya’la (Hadith: 4213) and one chain in Al-Mu’jamul Awsat (Hadith: 2105) are better than the others.

The chain you have provided is very weak. The specific sentence that you enquired about, is not in the versions of Tabarani and Abu Ya’ala.
