A NOTE ABOUT THIS TEXT

This brief text contains a translation of a small number of pattern chained (Musalsal) hadith narrated
by Shaykh Yay bin Muammad al-Mull, who hails from the historic city of al-Ahsa in Saudi
Arabia. Shaykh Yay narrates a number of the hadith contained in this text from his teachers, such
as Shaykhs: Muammad bin Ab Bakr al-Mull, Amad Jbir Jibrn, Abdullah bin Saeed al-Lahji,
Isml al-Zayn and many others. The bulk of his transmission of Musalsal hadith however comes
from two of his teachers, namely: Shaykh Muammad Ysn al-Fdn and Shaykh Abd al-Ramn
bin Ab Bakr al-Mull. Therefore in this work the chain of Shaykh al-Fdn will predominatly be
cited, and on occasions the chain of Shaykh Abd al-Ramn bin Ab Bakr al-Mull.
DISCLAIMER: A WORK IN PROGRESS
From amongst the final words of

Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi
In his
Manahil al-Salsalah fi
Al-Ahadith al-Musalsalah
The Musalsal hadith contains an intimacy which distinguishes it in comparison to other hadith. When
I see that I have shaken hands with someone who has shaken hands with someone who in turn has
shaken hands with someone going back to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace),
I visualise my hand connecting to the hand of the Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace).
There is for the soul in this an intimacy and good fortune which is not in the rest of the hadith.
Imm Ibn al-Jawz at the beginning of his Musalalat collection
DEDICATION
This work is dedicated to the pious men and women scholars mentioned in the chains of narration,
who transmitted these narrations to us generation after generation. They may have passed away long
ago, but we still remember them and are indebted to them for their sacrifices. May Allah Taala reward
them with the best of rewards and raise their rank in the next world. Amin.

HADITH OF FIRSTNESS1
It was narrated to us by Shaykh Muammad

Ysn al-Fdn who said;
It was narrated to us by Shaykh Ali bin Falih
al-Zahiri al-Madani, the recitor Shihb Amad
bin Abdullh al-Mukhallalt al-Shm and
then al-Makk, the most learned astronomer
Shaykh Khalfah bin Hamd al-Nabhn, the
recitor Shaykh Ibrahm bin Mus al-Khizm alSudani then al-Makk, Imm fiz Sayyid Abd
al-Hayy bin Abd al-Kabr al-Kattn al-Fs, and
it is the first hadith which I narrate from them;
from Ab al-Yusr Fl bin Muammad alZhir al-Madan and it is the first; from Sayyid
Muammad Ali al-Sanus al-Khattb alShalaf and it is the first; from Ab Hafs Umar
bin Abd al-Karm al-Attar and it is the first;
from Imm Muammad bin al-Tayyib alMaghrib then al-Madan and it is the first; from
This hadith is also known as the Hadith of Mercy and is traditionally narrated to a student by his or her
teacher as the first hadith they hear from them. Shaykh Abd al-Hayy al-Kattn (Allah have mercy on him) at
the beginning of his work Fihris al-Fahris (1/93) discussed the reason why the scholars of hadith started their
gatherings with this narration, he said that this hadith is, Widespread amongst the Muslim community
(ummah), and was paid attention to by the scholars of the science (of hadith). They gave precedence to narrating
it over other hadith so that they would have a continuous pattern, as we have also done. It is also so that the
seeker of knowledge follows it and knows that the basis of knowledge is mercy, love and maintaining ties, not
turning away and breaking (off relations). So if the student is nurtured with this, with him is nurtured the call
to knowledge and mercyand he is not raised except with the character trait of mercy.

Lord of the Heavens will have mercy upon you.
Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi in his Manahil al-Salsalah (p.9) mentioned that he heard this narration from
all of his Shaykhs with the addition
it was not however mentioned by Ibn al-Jazari, al-Suyuti,
Muammad Abid al-Sind and others. The fact of the matter is that it is not from the narration but rather it is
by way of good manners (adab) at the mention of the Divine Name. It should be recited by the narrator of this
hadith and some scholars added that it not be recorded but recited.

Shams Muammad bin al-Tayyib al-Maghribi then al-Madini said: This hadith as was stated by
more than one of the Imms is an elevated asan hadith. It was related by Al-Bukhr in his work
3
Al-Kuna and Al-Adab al-Mufrad, Amad and al-Humaydi in their Musnads, al-Bayhaqi in Al-Shuab,
Ab Dwd and Al-Tirmidh in their Sunans, Ab Ali al-Zafarani as recorded from his narration as
cited from him by Ibn Al-Abbar and others. Al-Tirmidh said: This hadith is asan a, it was
cited by Al-kim in Al-Mustadrak who graded it a, and it is so taking in to account the follow
up and supporting narrations which it has which is not hidden to the one who has some familiarity
with the sciences of hadith. Likewise Zayn al-Iraqi and others were certain of it being a without
hesitation, and Allah knows best.4
In the footnote of the printed edition of Al-Ujalah (p.10) it states that this is a mistake.

you shook the hand of Shaykh Umar bin

Ibn Aqilah said: This hadith was related by al-Dibaji in his Musalsalat, Ibn Mufaddal and al-Tamimi
in his Musalsalat. The hadith has been discussed as being weak and fabricated, even if the text is a
as related by al-Bukhr, Amad bin Hanbal from Anas, I have never touched any silk or brocade
that is softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah, may Allahs blessings and peace be upon him,
nor have I ever smelled musk or scent more fragrant than the fragrance of the Messenger of Allah,
may Allahs blessings and peace be upon him."
Al-Suyuti said in Jiyad al-Musalsalat: This hadith was related by Ibn Asakir in his Tarikh from the
route of Abd al-Ramn al-abar from Ab Muammad Abd al-Mlik bin Muammad bin Nujayd
al-Baghawi in a musalsal form. Abid al-Sind said: Shams al-Sakhawi vigorously denied its being
musalsal and said: Ab Hurmuz whose name is Nafi was declared a liar on occasion by Ibn Main,
and Ab Hashim said he was severely weak (matruk dhahib al-hadith).. Abid [al-Sind] said: He
however was not alone in narrating it, for it was related in a pattern form from the route of
Muammad bin Kamil.7
Therefore those wishing to narrate this hadith from Shaykh Yay al-Mull should say the following to him
after hearing the hadith:

After which you will shake his hand and he will say to you: Assalamu Alaikum

Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi in his Manahil al-Salsalah p.41-42 citing these words adds the following:

This part of the chain needs further examination, a discussion of which I could not find specifically in a
number of the commonly used Musalsalat works. The issue is as follows: Shaykh Abd al-Hayy al-Luknawi
mentions in his Nafi al-Kabir (p.44) that Hafidh Ibn ajar passed away in 852H whilst Imm al-Suyuti was
born in 849H. Working out the dates of the death and birth of these scholars it appears that Imm al-Suyuti
was three and a half years of age at the time of Hafidh Ibn ajars passing away. Imm al-Suyuti himself in
Tadhkirah al-Huffadh in the biography of Hafidh Ibn ajar said that, I have a general Ijzah from him, and I
do not deem it far fetched that I have a specific Ijzah from him, for my father would visit him often.
Likewise in his work Tadrib al-Rawi (2/407) he mentions the pattern chained (musalsal) narration of Huffadh
wherein he mentions his narration from Hafidh Ibn ajar by way of general Ijzah, adding that, I do not
narrate anything else by it (meaning the general Ijzah) except this hadith. This Musalsal is neither mentioned
in Imm al-Suyutis work Jiyad al-Musalsalat which is in print, however he does have a larger work on Musalsal
hadith which is not in print and which may shed light on this matter. Allah Most High knows best.

Ibn al-Tayyib said: Al-Sakhawi indicated to all of its chains of transmission and was critical of Ibn alJazaris view that it possessed a good chain from the route of Al-Mutui, as he declared weak by Ab
Nuaym and Ibn Mardawayh. However they did clearly mention that the chains of the hadith even
if they were weak mutually strengthened each other.
Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi said: The narrators of our chain from Ruh to those above him are the
Imms of Quranic recitation, and Al-Mutui is not in this chain. The name of al-Mutui is asan bin

the hadith as good, and he is the Shaykh of the Quran reciters, and most knowledgeable of the

for him. I said: Even if he commits fornication

and steals?
He remained silent for a moment and then
repeated his words, so I said again: Even if he
fornicates and steals? He (Allah bless him and
give him peace) said: Even if he fornicates and
steals, despite what Ab al-Dard may think.

Ab al-Dard would narrate this hadith every
Jumah by the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah
(Allah bless him and give him peace), whilst
placing his finger upon his nose and saying:
Despite what Ab al-Dard may think.12

Ibn al-Tayyib said: The hadith is a, and it was related by the Imms of the a works.

The literal meaning of the saying refers to the nose of a person, it is a metaphor in the Arabic language.

twenty mercies. Sixty of them are for those
performing tawaf, forty for those praying and
twenty for those looking.15
Ibn al-Tayyib said: Related by Al-Bayhaqi in Shuab al-Iman, Al-Khatib in his Tarikh, Al-Sabuni in the
second volume of Al-Miatayn and said: Hadith Gharib. Al-Sakhawi said it was graded asan by AlMundhiri in his Targhib and Al-Iraqi in Takhrij Ahadith al-Ihy, it being apparent that he graded it
asan due to its supporting narrations. He said: The claim of Al-Sabuni that it is Gharib from the
hadith of Ibn Jurayj is not correct, for Al-Bayhaqi said after relating it: It was narrated Yusuf bin
Safar from Al-Awzai, from Ata, from Ibn Abbs. Likewise it was related by Al-Tabarn in Mujam
al-Kabir said: This hadith has other routes of transmission from Ibn Abbs, it was related by AlTabarn in Al-Kabir, and Allah knows best.16

A brief treatise in explanation of this hadith was authored by the Makkan scholar, well known as the Shaykh
al-Dalail of his era in the Hijaz, Shaykh Abd al-Haq al-Ilahabadi.

one of the companions of Imm al-Shafi
regarding his age, and he replied, Mind your

age, and he replied, Mind your own business;
for I questioned Mlik bin Anas regarding his
age and he replied, It is not from the

honourable conduct of a man to divulge his age,
for if he is young they will regard him as
insignificant and if old they will regard him as
being of no use.
Shaykh Abid said: Al-Buwayti is meant by the use of the term, One of the companions of Al-Shafi
as explicitly mentioned in the Musalsalat of Sharaf bin Ab Asrun as in the first volume of the Fawaid
of Ab al-asan al-Halabi and others. However Ab Bakr al-Naysaburi mentioned that the person
who questioned Imm al-Shafi was Al-Muzani, and Al-Shafi linked it via Mlik from Rabia, and
the first view is the more well known. He said: This statement from Imm Mlik has been narrated
by more than one person, amongst them being Ab al-asan Muammad bin Ali al-Azdi alMliki.17

Shaykh Abbs Ridwan al-Hasani al-Madani (1293-1346H) said in his Fath al-Bar bi Shar Bulugh al-Watr

hands of Allah Most High...It is thus said in the common saying, The beard of so and so is in my hand,
meaning under my control and decision, I deal with him as I wish. Likewise from it are His words Most High,
There is no creature except that He (Allah Most High) holds it by its forelock.

Ayyub al-Khalwati said: This hadith is a and good. However Muammad bin Amad bin Aqilah
said: This hadith was related by al-kim, al-Khali, Ab Nuaym, and there is some weakness in it.
Al-Qawaqji said: It related by Ibn Asakir in his Tarikh with a pattern chain. Ibn al-Tayyib said that
this is how it was related by al-kim in the section of Musalsal hadith in his work on the sciences
of hadith. It was also related Ab Nuaym in Al-Marifah in a pattern form, as also by Al-Dibaji and

Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi commented: I say: I do not know of the reason for its weakness, for
all of its narrators are trustworthy, Shihb was declared trustworthy by Ibn al-Mubarak, Ab Zurah,
Ibn Main and Al-Ijli. As for the statement of Ibn Adiyy that there is in some of his narrations that
which is reprehensible, then it does not harm him as a narrator.20

This hadith is Musalsal by means of the Itrah, known in the lands of Yemen from long ago and to this day as
Silsilah al-Ibriz bi al-Sanad al-Aziz. The author of the Tabaqat al-Zaydiyyah Sayyid Ibrahm bin al-Qsim bin alMuayyad al-Hasani al-Yamani, from al-Shihar and then of al-Taiz (d.1153H) has a biographical entry for the
compiler of the Silsilah al-Ibriz, Sayyid Ubaydullah bin Ali al-Jalabadhi, attributed to Jalabadh, an area that
was in Naysabur. He likewise has biographical entries for other narrators from its chain who lived in the past.
It was commented on by Allamah al-Shaykh li bin iddq al-Namazi al-Ansari al-Shafi al-Yamani who

LICENSE TO TRANSMIT
All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds,

Muammad and upon his family and all of his
companions. To proceed:
The distinguished student:

:
/ / /
heard from me the Hadith of Mercy and a
number of pattern chained narrations which I

narrate along with their conditions from my /
master, Shaykh Muammad Ysn al-Fdn

and Shaykh Abd al-Ramn bin Ab Bakr al-
Mull.
He/she has requested me to grant him/her a

license to transmit (Ijzah) just as my notable / /
teachers granted me a license to transmit, even
though I am not qualified to do so. However
acquiescing to his/her request I say seeking help
/
through Allah Most High:
I have granted a license to transmit to this
brother/sister, a person of laudable effort, all
that I narrate from the transmitted and rational
sciences, just as I was granted a license to do so
by my teachers, amongst them being: My father
and Master Shaykh Muammad bin Ab Bakr
al-Mull, my uncle Shaykh Abd al-Ramn bin
Ab Bakr al-Mull, Shaykh Muammad Ysn
al-Fdn, Shaykh asan al-Mash, Shaykh
Abdullh bin Said al-Lahji, Shaykh IsmlalZayn, Shaykh Amad Jbir Jibrn and others.

.
/
I advise him/her to have taqwa of Allah the

Mighty and Majestic privately and publically.
Likewise to distance themselves from labelling
others as innovators or declaring them as / .
disbelievers, rather they should refer back in
/
matters to the reference works.
I request him/her to not forget me, my parents
and teachers in his/her sincere prayers, both
privately and publically at blessed times.
Blessings and peace be upon our Master
Muammad and upon his family and all of his
companions.
