Prophet Sending For The Marriage Of Julaibib RA
I am sorry the correct reference for above story is Masnad e Ahmad 19810
The chain of this narration is sahih on conditions of Bukhari and Muslim . This incident is reported via two different chains and there is no mention of ugliness of Sahabi Julaibib (rta). He used to be a non-serious youngster in medina and people used to repulse him. So, Prophet Muhammad (sws) helped him get married and later on, he sacrificed his life in a war while fighting polytheists and Prophet Muhammad (sws) praised him and held his dead body in his arms. First chain from Anas bin Malik (rta) : From momar from sabit bunani from anas bin malik (rta) Narrated in : – Musnad Ahmed bin Hambal – 19/385 (Number 12393) (Image Attached) – Musannaf Abdur Razzak – 6/155 (Number 10333) – Musnad bin Hameed – 2/254 (Number 1243) – Musnad Al-Buzzar – 13/320 (Number 6925) – Sahih Ibn e Hibban (Number 4059) The chain of Sabit to Momar is weak (‘ Daef ’) but because of the other strong chain, it is categorized as Sahih or can also be categorized as Sahih li Ghairihi ( Sahih because of other/external evidence ). Shiekh Shuaib Al-Arnaut writes in his commentary of Musnad Ahmed bin Hambal: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين “ The chain is Sahih on the condition of Shiekhain (Bukhari and Muslim) ”. AND … ويشهد له حديث أبي برزة الأسلمي… …“ And the hadith of Abu Barzah Al-Aslami testifies to it ”… Second chain from Abu Barzah Al-Aslami (rta) : From Hammad bin Salama from Sabit Bunani from Kinana bin Naeem from Abu Barzah Al-Aslami (rta) Narrated in : – Musnad Ahmed bin Hambal – 33/28 (Number 19784) (Image Attached) AND Musnad Ahmed bin Hambal – 33/45 (Number 19810) (Image Attached) – Kitab Sharah-As-Sunnah by Imam Baghwi and categorized Sahih by him – 14/196 (Number 3997) – Sahih Ibn e Hibban (Number 4035) Shiekh Shuaib Al-Arnaut writes in his commentary of Musnad Ahmed bin Hambal: إسناده صحيح على شرط مسلم “ The chain is Sahih on the condition of Muslim ”. Imam Muslim has extracted a portion from the same chain to include in his chapter on The Virtues Of Julaibib (RA) ( see : https://sunnah.com/muslim:2472 )
