A NOTE ABOUT THIS TEXT

This brief text contains a translation of a small number of pattern chained (Musalsal) hadith narrated

by Shaykh Yaḥyā bin Muḥammad al-Mullā, who hails from the historic city of al-Ahsa in Saudi

Arabia. Shaykh Yaḥyā narrates a number of the hadith contained in this text from his teachers, such

as Shaykhs: Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā, Aḥmad Jābir Jibrān, ʿAbdullah bin Saeed al-Lahji,

Ismāʿīl al-Zayn and many others. The bulk of his transmission of Musalsal hadith however comes

from two of his teachers, namely: Shaykh Muḥammad Yāsīn al-Fādānī and Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān

bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā. Therefore in this work the chain of Shaykh al-Fādānī will predominatly be

cited, and on occasions the chain of Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā.

From amongst the final words of Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi

In his Manahil al-Salsalah fi

Al-Ahadith al-Musalsalah

D I S C L A I M E R : A W O R K I N P R O G R E S S

2

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. — Imām Ibn al-Jawzī 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.

It was narrated to us by Shaykh Muḥammad

Yāsīn al-Fādānī who said;

It was narrated to us by Shaykh ʿAli bin Falih

al-Zahiri al-Madani, the recitor Shihāb Aḥmad

bin ʿAbdullāh al-Mukhallalātī al-Shāmī and

then al-Makkī, the most learned astronomer

Shaykh Khalīfah bin Hamd al-Nabhānī, the

recitor Shaykh Ibrahīm bin Musā al-Khizāmī al-

Sudani then al-Makkī, Imām Ḥāfiz Sayyid Abd

al-Hayy bin Abd al-Kabīr al-Kattānī al-Fāsī, and

it is the first hadith which I narrate from them;

from Abū al-Yusr Fālīḥ bin Muḥammad al-

Zāhirī al-Madanī and it is the first; from Sayyid

Muḥammad ʿAli al-Sanusī al-Khattābī al-

Shalafī and it is the first; from Abū Hafs ʿUmar

bin Abd al-Karīm al-Attar and it is the first;

from Imām Muḥammad bin al-Tayyib al-

Maghribī then al-Madanī and it is the first; from

1 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-Kattānī (Allah have mercy on him) at

the beginning of his work Fihris al-Fahāris (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 mercy…and he is not raised except with the character trait of mercy.”

2 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 تبارك وتعاىل, it was not however mentioned by Ibn al-Jazari, al-Suyuti,

Muḥammad Abid al-Sindī 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 Muḥammad bin al-Tayyib al-Maghribi then al-Madini said: This hadith – as was stated by

more than one of the Imāms – is an elevated Ḥasan hadith. It was related by Al-Bukhārī in his work

Al-Kuna and Al-Adab al-Mufrad,3 Aḥmad and al-Humaydi in their Musnads, al-Bayhaqi in Al-Shuab,

Abū Dāwūd and Al-Tirmidhī in their Sunan’s, Abū ʿAli al-Zafarani as recorded from his narration as

cited from him by Ibn Al-Abbar and others. Al-Tirmidhī said: This hadith is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ, it was

cited by Al-Ḥākim in Al-Mustadrak who graded it Ṣaḥīḥ, 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 Ṣaḥīḥ without

hesitation, and Allah knows best.4

3 In the footnote of the printed edition of Al-Ujalah (p.10) it states that this is a mistake.

We entered upon ʿ Anas bin Mālik (Allah be

to us, “With this very hand of mine I shook

the hand of the Messenger of Allah (Allah

bless him and give him peace), and I have

not touched silk nor brocade softer then the

hand of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless

him and give him peace).”5

Abū Hurmuz said: So we said to ʿAnas:

Shake our hands with the hand with which

you shook the Messenger of Allah (Allah

bless him and give him peace), so we shook

his hand and he said: Assalamu Alaikum

Khalf bin Tamim said: I said to Abū

Hurmuz: Shake my hand with the hand

omitted, it is however cited in other collections such as Al-Ujalah (p.12).

with which you shook ʿAnas’s hand, so he

shook my hand and said: Assalamu

Alaikum

Each one of the narrators said the same,

shaking hands with their student.

I [Yaḥyā bin Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr al-

Mullā] say: I said to our teacher, Shaykh

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā:

Shake my hand with the hand with which

you shook the hand of Shaykh ʿUmar bin

Hamdan al-Mahrasi, so he shook my hand

and said: Assalamu Alaikum6

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 Ṣaḥīḥ

as related by al-Bukhārī, Aḥmad bin Hanbal from ʿAnas, “I have never touched any silk or brocade

that is softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s 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 Allah’s 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 ʿ Abd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭabarī from Abū Muḥammad Abd al-Mālik bin Muḥammad bin Nujayd

al-Baghawi in a musalsal form. Abid al-Sindī said: Shams al-Sakhawi vigorously denied its being

musalsal and said: Abū Hurmuz – whose name is Nafi – was declared a liar on occasion by Ibn Main,

and Abū Hashim said he was severely weak (matruk dhahib al-hadith).. Abid [al-Sindī] said: He

however was not alone in narrating it, for it was related in a pattern form from the route of

Muḥammad bin Kamil.7

6 Therefore those wishing to narrate this hadith from Shaykh Yaḥyā al-Mullā should say the following to him

After which you will shake his hand and he will say to you: Assalamu Alaikum 7 Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi in his Manahil al-Salsalah p.41-42 citing these words adds the following:

“I say: And that is by means of that which I narrate from Sayyid Amin from Abd al-Ghani, from Muḥammad

Abid, from Sayyid ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Sulayman bin Yaḥyā bin ʿUmar Maqbul al-Ahdal, from his father,

al-Raḥmān al-Fasi and other than them, both, all of them said: We shook the hand of Abū Salim al-Ayyashi,

who shook thhe hand of Shihab al-Khafaji, from Ibrahīm al-Alqama, from his brother Shams al-Alqama and

peace), and I have not felt silk nor…”

With regards to Muhammad bin Kamil, Imam al-Sakhawi said in Jawahir al-Mukallalah that he was not relied

upon as a narrator. Thus this supporting chain also comes via a narrator who is weak, and Allah Most High

SEEKING REFUGE

THE PATTERN CH AI N HADITH OF THE

STATEME NT : RE CITE I SEEK REF UGE I N

ALLAH FROM TH E ACCURSE D DEVIL

I recited to Shaykh Muḥammad Yāsīn al-Fādānī

and said: I seek refuge in the All-Hearing and

the All-Knowing, and he said to me: Recite ‘I

seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil’;

from Shaykh ʿUmar Hamdan al-Mahrasi; from

Sayyid ʿ Ali Zahir al-Watri; from Shaykh Abd al-

Ghani al-Dihlawi; from Shaykh Muḥammad

8 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 Ḥajar passed away in 852H whilst Imām al-Suyuti was

born in 849H. Working out the dates of the death and birth of these scholars it appears that Imām al-Suyuti

was three and a half years of age at the time of Hafidh Ibn Ḥajars passing away. Imām al-Suyuti himself in

Tadhkirah al-Huffadh in the biography of Hafidh Ibn Ḥajar said that, “I have a general Ijāzah from him, and I

do not deem it far fetched that I have a specific Ijāzah 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 Ḥajar by way of general Ijāzah, adding that, “I do not

narrate anything else by it (meaning the general Ijāzah) except this hadith.” This Musalsal is neither mentioned

in Imām al-Suyuti’s 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.

Zarr bin Hubaish, each of the narrators reciting

‘I seek refuge in the All-Hearing and All-

Knowing’ and in response the Shaykh sayinf,

‘Recite: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed

devil.’

Zarr said: I recited to ʿAbdullāh bin Masud and

said, ‘I seek refuge in the All-Knowing and All-

Hearing’ and he said to me, ‘Recite: I seek refuge

in Allah from the accursed devil’, for I recited to

the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and

give him peace) and said, ‘I seek refuge in the

All-Knowing and All-Hearing’ and he said,

“O son of Umm Abd, recite I seek refuge in

Allah from the accursed devil, for this is how

Jibril instructed me to recite from The Pen, from

The Preserved Tablet.”

Shaykh Abd al-Baqi al-Ayyubi also narrates this hadith with the version of, “ السممممممعلي ال ل الل أعوذ ب ”

There is agreement amongst the expert reciters of the ten readings that the tawwudh is “ عن الل أعوذ ب

شلطان الرجل السعلي ال ل الل أعوذ ب except that ”ال is related by Al-Tirmidhī in his Sunan in the invocations

for the morning and evening, however Al-Darimi and Ibn al-Sunni differed with him regarding the

additional wording of سعلي ال ل and related it without it being mentioned just as the expert reciters.


15

Ibn al-Tayyib said: Al-Sakhawi indicated to all of its chains of transmission and was critical of Ibn al-

Jazari’s view that it possessed a good chain from the route of Al-Mutui, as he declared weak by Abū

Nuʿaym 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

Imāms of Quranic recitation, and Al-Mutui is not in this chain. The name of al-Mutui is Ḥasan bin

Sa’d, he is a great Imām, trustworthy in recitation…which was the reason why Ibn al-Jazari graded

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

narrators of the Quranic readings, and Allah knows best.9

He remained silent for a moment and then

repeated his words, so I said again: Even if he

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 Ḥasan by Al-

Mundhiri in his Targhib and Al-Iraqi in Takhrij Ahadith al-Ihyā’, it being apparent that he graded it

Ḥasan 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 ʿAbbās. Likewise it was related by Al-Tabarānī in Mujam al-Kabir said: This hadith has other routes of transmission from Ibn ʿAbbās, it was related by Al-

Tabarānī in Al-Kabir, and Allah knows best.16

15

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. 16

Abū ʿĪsa al-Tirmidhī regarding his age and he

replied, ‘Mind your own business’; for I asked

one of the companions of Imām al-Shafiʿī

regarding his age, and he replied, ‘Mind your

own business’; for I asked Al-Shafi regarding his

age, and he replied, ‘Mind your own business’;

for I questioned Mālik bin ʿAnas 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.”

as explicitly mentioned in the Musalsalat of Sharaf bin Abī Asrun as in the first volume of the Fawaid

of Abū al-Ḥasan al-Halabi and others. However Abū Bakr al-Naysaburi mentioned that the person

who questioned Imām al-Shafiʿī was Al-Muzani, and Al-Shafiʿī linked it via Mālik from Rabia’, and

the first view is the more well known. He said: This statement from Imām Mālik has been narrated

by more than one person, amongst them being Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad bin ʿAli al-Azdi al-

Shaykh ʿAbbās Ridwan al-Hasani al-Madani (1293-1346H) said in his Fath al-Bar bi Sharḥ Bulugh al-Watr min Mustalah Ahl al-Athar (p.48), "Perhaps the grasping of the beard is an indication that the matter is in the

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.” 19

Shaykh al-Fādānī even narrated this hadith from his female teachers such as Shaykha Amatullah the daughter

of Shaykh Abd al-Ghani al-Mujaddidi. His students such as Shaykh Khalid al-Turkestani mention from him

that he saw Shaykha Amatullah grasp her chin when narrating this hadith.

Ibn Main and Al-Ijli. As for the statement of Ibn Adiyy that there is in some of his narrations that

bin ʿAnas in a similar way, he said; I was

informed by Muḥammad bin Shihāb in a similar

way, [he said]; I was informed by Urwah in a

similar way, he said:

Aisha narrated to us, and when she had finished

from the reading she supplicated for us and

ended the gathering with a prayer and said, “The

Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give

him peace) when he would finish his speech and

wished to stand up from his sitting place would

say: O Allah, for give us for the mistakes which

we have made, that which has been deliberate,

that which has been in secret, that which has

been public and that which You are more

knowledgeable of than us. You are the First and

the Last and there is no god except You.”

This hadith was mentioned as the final narration by Shaykh al-Fādānī in his work Al-Ujalah fi Al-Ahadith al-Musalsalah without any reference.

Allamah Aḥmad bin Yaḥyā Hāmid al-Dīn al-Yamani said in Nazm Ajwad al-Ahadith al-Musalsalah (p.12):

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 Ibrahīm bin al-Qāsim bin al-

Muayyad 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 ʿAli 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 Ṣāliḥ bin Ṣiddīq al-Namazi al-Ansari al-Shafiʿī al-Yamani who

passed away in the year 975, in a work entitled Al-Qawl al-Wajiz fi Sharḥ Ahadith Silsilah al-Ibriz.

LICENSE TO TRANSMIT

جازةإAll praise is due to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, blessings and peace be upon our Master Muḥammad 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 Muḥammad Yāsīn al-Fādānī and Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā. He/she has requested me to grant him/her a license to transmit (Ijāzah) 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 Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā, my uncle Shaykh ʿ Abd al-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakr al-Mullā, Shaykh Muḥammad Yāsīn al-Fādānī, Shaykh Ḥasan al-Mashāṭ, Shaykh ʿAbdullāh bin Said al-Lahji, Shaykh Ismāʿīlal-Zayn, Shaykh Aḥmad Jābir Jibrān 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 Muḥammad and upon his family and all of his companions.
