Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

also reported a similar narration in “al-Ṭabaqaat al-Kubraa” (3/267) from the route of al-Qaasim Ibn `Uthmaan al-
Basree, from Anas. This al-Qaasim is “Ḍha`eef”” –end of quote from Shaikh Waṣee-ullaah.
b) The Second narration, from the route of al-Qaasim Ibn `Uthmaan al-Basree, was also reported by al-Ḥaakim in
“al-Mustadrak” (6897), Ibn al-Jawzee in “Manaaqib `Umar”.
Imaam al-Dhahabee mentioned: “al-Bukhaaree said about al-Qaasim Ibn `Uthmaan al-Basree: “He narrates things
which no one else has narrated.” I (al-Dhahabee) say: “The narration regarding the conversion of `Umar has been
narrated by him and it is “Munkar Jiddan” (extremely rejected/denounced). [“Meezaan al-I`tidaal” (3/375)]
Al-Daaraquṭnee said about al-Qaasim: “He was not strong (in memory).” Al-Haithamee said: “He is “Ḍha`eef”.”
See also, “al-Ḍha`eefah” (14/75) of Shaikh al-Albaanee.
c) The third narration with a similar meaning but even more concise is also reported by al-Ḥaakim in “al-
Mustadrak” (6898), and by Abu Nu`aim in “al-Ḥilyah” (1/41), and by al-Bazzaar in his “Musnad” (279), from the
route of Muḥammad Ibn Aḥmad Ibn Burd al-Antaakee, that Is-ḥaaq Ibn Ibraaheem al-Ḥunainee narrated, that
Usaamah Ibn Zaid Ibn Aslam narrated from his father, from `Umar.
The first defect, Is-ḥaaq Ibn Ibraaheem al-Ḥunainee: Abu Ḥaatim said: “I saw that Aḥmad Ibn Ṣaaleh was not
pleased with his narrations.” Al-Bukhaaree said: “There is doubt regarding his narrations.” Al-Nasaa’ee said: “He is
not reliable.” Al-Dhahabee said: “He has been graded as “Ḍha`eef” by the scholars.” Ibn Ḥajar also said:
“Ḍha`eef”.
The second defect, Usaamah Ibn Zaid Ibn Aslam: Imaam Aḥmad said: “Munkar al-Ḥadeeth” (his narrations are
denounced) and “Ḍha`eef”. Al-Dhahabee said: “He has been graded as “Ḍha`eef” by the scholars.” Ibn Ḥajar also
said: “Ḍha`eef” `Alee Ibn al-Madeenee said: “All the children of Zaid Ibn Aslam (i.e. Usaamah, `Abdullaah and
`Abdul Ramḥaan) are all not reliable.”
al-Dhahabee said in “al-Talkhees”: “He (al-Ḥaakim) blundered regarding this narration, for it is “Waah Jiddan”
(flimsy/extremely weak).”
See also, “al-Ḍha`eefah” (14/73 & 76) of Shaikh al-Albaanee.
d) The fourth narration with similar meaning but concise was also reported by al-Ṭabaraanee in “al-Kabeer”
(2/97/1428), but instead of Surah TaHa, it is mentioned that `Umar heard his sister recite Surah al-`Alaq. In its
chain is Yazeed Ibn Rabee`ah.
Imaam al-Dhahabee mentioned: “al-Bukhaaree said about Yazeed Ibn Rabee`ah: ‘He is al-Rahbee al-Damishqee:
His narrations are “Munkar” (denounced).’ And Abu Ḥaatim said: “Ḍha`eef”. Al-Nasaa’ee said: “Matrook”
(abandoned). Al-Joozjaanee said: “I am afraid that his narrations are fabricated.”” [“Meezaan al-I`tidaal” (4/422)]
Al-Haithamee said in “al-Majma`” (9/62): “In its chain is Yazeed Ibn Rabee`ah al-Rahbee, and he is “Matrook”
(abandoned).]
The second narration: Regarding the conversion of `Umar رضي اهلل عنه and his hiding behind the covering of the
Ka`bah to listen to the Prophet’s recitation:
Ibn Is-ḥaaq said: `Abdullaah Ibn Abee Najeeh al-Makkee informed me, from his associates: `Aṭaa’, Mujaahid and
others, that regarding `Umar’s conversion to Islaam, he (`Umar) himself would say: ‘I used to be furthest away
from Islaam. And in the Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islaamic days of ignorance), I used to consume a lot of wine, I loved
