Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 9, Hadith 55

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik: that the Prophet passed by some part of Al-Madinah and saw some girls beating their Daff And singing, saying: “We are girls from Banu Najjar what an excellent neighbor is Muhammad.” The Prophet said: “Allah knows that you are dear to me.”

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَرَّ بِبَعْضِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِجَوَارٍ يَضْرِبْنَ بِدُفِّهِنَّ وَيَتَغَنَّيْنَ وَيَقُلْنَ نَحْنُ جَوَارٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ يَا حَبَّذَا مُحَمَّدٌ مِنْ جَارِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏
“‏ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّكُنَّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 9, Hadith 55
Sahih (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah holds a significant place as one of the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islamic tradition. Its compiler, Ibn Majah, completed this work in the 9th century, with his death occurring in 886 CE. The collection is extensive, featuring around 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on diverse themes. These include core tenets of faith, the correct performance of religious rituals, ethical conduct, and rulings on social interactions. Although it is a respected compilation, it is generally accorded a lower rank in terms of overall authenticity when compared to the other five collections. This is primarily due to the inclusion of some narrations deemed less reliable by hadith critics. Nevertheless, it remains a fundamental text for academic and religious study.
