حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، وَحَمْزَةَ، ابْنَىْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الشُّؤْمُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْمَسْكَنِ وَالدَّابَّةِ ".
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَبَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ لاَ يَذْكُرُونَ فِيهِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ إِنَّمَا يَقُولُونَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرَوَى مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَقَالَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَحَمْزَةَ ابْنَىْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا وَهَكَذَا رَوَى لَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَحَمْزَةَ ابْنَىْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَحْوِهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ، وَرِوَايَةُ، سَعِيدٍ أَصَحُّ لأَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْمَدِينِيِّ وَالْحُمَيْدِيَّ رَوَيَا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَذَكَرَا، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ لَمْ يَرْوِ لَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلاَّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ . وَرَوَى مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَقَالَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَحَمْزَةَ ابْنَىْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَنَسٍ . - وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " إِنْ كَانَ الشُّؤْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَفِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالدَّابَّةِ وَالْمَسْكَنِ " .
وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ شُؤْمَ وَقَدْ يَكُونُ الْيُمْنُ فِي الدَّارِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالْفَرَسِ " . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا .
