- "Whoever fasts during Ramadan, performs the [five] prayers, and performs the pilgrimage to the House—I am not sure if he mentioned zakah or not—then it is incumbent upon Allāh to forgive him, whether he emigrated in the path of Allāh or remained in the land where he was born." Muʿādh said, "Shall I not inform the people of this?" He replied, "Leave the people [O Muʿādh] to act." Narrated by al-Tirmidhī (2530), Aḥmad (5/232 and 240-241), and al-Bazzār (1/23/26) from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad from Zayd ibn Aslam from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār from Muʿādh ibn Jabal, marfūʿan. I say: This isnād is weak, its men are trustworthy as per Muslim's criteria, except that it is disconnected; for al-Tirmidhī said after it: "ʿAṭāʾ did not meet Muʿādh ibn Jabal, and Muʿādh died early, during the caliphate of ʿUmar." I say: He died in the year (18) as affirmed in "al-Taqrīb," and ʿAṭāʾ was born in the year (19), and therefore, al-Tirmidhī's statement: "... did not meet Muʿādh" is more precise than the statement of al-Ḥāfiẓ in "al-Tahdhīb": "There is doubt about his hearing from Muʿādh"! Because it implies that he met him; which is not the case. Then I found a supporting narration for the ḥadīth from Abū Hurayrah in al-Bukhārī and others; it is referenced earlier under number (921).
