Hadith Number: Q3958
قال ابو عيسى: و سمعت احمد بن الحسن يقول: كنا عند احمد بن حنبل؛ فذكروا من تجب عليه الجمعة؛ فذكروا فيه عن بعض اهل العلم من التابعين وغيرهم؛ فقلت: فيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حديث؛ فقال: عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؟! قلت: نعم، حدثنا حجاج بن نصير، حدثنا المعارك بن عباد، عن عبد الله بن سعيد المقبري، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:"الجمعة على من آواه الليل إلى اهله".قال: فغضب احمد بن حنبل، وقال: استغفر ربك،استغفر ربك -مرتين-.
Tirmidhi says that I heard Ahmad bin Hasan say: We were with Ahmad bin Hanbal when people discussed upon whom Jumu'ah is obligatory. They mentioned statements from some Tabi'in and Tabi' Tabi'in scholars regarding this. So I said: There is a hadith from the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on this subject. He asked: From the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )? I said: Yes, Hajjaj bin Nasir narrated to us, from Ma'arik bin 'Ubad, from 'Abdullah bin Sa'id Maqburi, from his father Sa'id Maqburi, and Maqburi from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Jumu'ah is obligatory upon the one who can reach his home at night." Upon this, Ahmad bin Hanbal became angry and said twice: And he said, "Astaghfirullah," seek forgiveness from your Lord, seek forgiveness from your Lord.
Hadith Number: Q3958
قال ابو عيسى: وإنما فعل هذا احمد بن حنبل لانه لم يصدق هذا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لضعف إسناده، لانه لم يعرفه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، والحجاج بن نصير يضعف في الحديث، وعبد الله بن سعيد المقبري ضعفه يحيى بن سعيد القطان جدا في الحديث.
Tirmidhi says: Ahmad bin Hanbal did so because, due to the weakness of the chain, this hadith was not authentic in his view, and he did not know it to be established from the Prophet (peace be upon him). There is weakness in the hadith of Hajjaj bin Nasir, and Abdullah bin Sa‘id Maqbari has been considered very weak in hadith by Yahya bin Sa‘id al-Qattan.
Hadith Number: Q3958
قال ابوعيسى: فكل من روي عنه حديث ممن يتهم او يضعف لغفلته، وكثرة خطئه، ولايعرف ذلك الحديث إلا من حديثه، فلا يحتج به.
Tirmidhi says: Every narrator from whom a hadith has been narrated, and who is accused of lying, or has been weakened due to negligence and numerous mistakes, and the hadith is known only through his chain, then such a narrator is not to be taken as proof 1.
