Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 49, Hadith 347
Narrated ‘Amir bin Abi ‘Amir Al-Ash’ari: from his father who said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Blessed are the tribes of Al-Asad and Al-Ash’arun, they flee not from fighting nor do they pilfer the spoils of war. They are from me and I am from them.'” He (‘Amir) said: “So I narrated that to Mu’awiyah, and he said: “This is not how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said it, he said: ‘They are from me, and for me.’ I said, this is not how my father narrated it to me, rather he narrated to me, saying: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: “They are from me and I am from them.'” So he said: ‘Then you are more knowledgeable of your father’s Hadith.'”
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَلاَذٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ نُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مَسْرُوحٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” نِعْمَ الْحَىُّ الأَسْدُ وَالأَشْعَرُونَ لاَ يَفِرُّونَ فِي الْقِتَالِ وَلاَ يَغُلُّونَ هُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ ” . قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ ” هُمْ مِنِّي وَإِلَىَّ ” . فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَلَكِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ” هُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ ” . قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِحَدِيثِ أَبِيكَ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ وَهْبِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ . وَيُقَالُ الأَسْدُ هُمُ الأَزْدُ .
