حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الأَشْهَلِيُّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ ” مِنْ شَرِّ عِرْقٍ نَعَّارٍ ” .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 31, Hadith 91
Da’if (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Sunan Ibn Majah is a foundational text, recognized as the sixth of the major hadith collections in Sunni Islam. The work of scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE), it encompasses about 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on a multitude of subjects. These subjects are crucial for Muslims and include the pillars of faith, the specifics of ritual observance, the development of personal ethics, and the navigation of social issues. The collection’s standing is one of respected importance with a caveat; it is typically viewed as containing a greater number of weak narrations than its five counterpart collections. This understanding necessitates a more critical approach from scholars, who still rely on it heavily for its breadth and content.
