Question

Is this reliable

أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: رَسْمُ الْمِدَادِ فِي ثَوْبِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ يَكْتُبُ عِلْمًا كَالدَّمِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَلا يَزَالُ يَنَالُ بِهِ الأَجْرَ مَا دَامَ ذَلِكَ الْمِدَادُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ

مسند الربيع بن حبيب – رقم الحديث: ٢٩

 

Answer

The source that you have cited is an unknown one. The authors who enlist the various collections of Hadith books have not made mention of such a kitab.

Furthermore, the traditional biographers of Hadith narrators and Hadith authors also don’t mention the author of the source in question.

Recent biographers mention him to be a Scholar of the Ibadi sect; a deviant group.

(Al-A’lam, vol. 3, pg. 14)

One should not read this book or quote from it.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
