Hadith Number: 7323
اخبرنا علي بن عبد الله العطار ببغداد، حدثنا العباس بن محمد الدوري، حدثنا الحسين بن محمد المروذي (2)، حدثنا سليمان بن قرم، عن الاعمش، عن شقيق، قال: دخلت انا وصاحب لي على سلمان، فقرب إلينا خبزا وملحا، فقال: لولا ان رسول الله ﷺ نهانا عن التكلف لتكلفت لكم، فقال صاحبي: لو كان في ملحنا سعتر، فبعث بمطهرته إلى البقال فرهنها، فجاء بسعتر فالقاه فيه، فلما اكلنا قال صاحبي: الحمد لله الذي قنعنا بما رزقنا، فقال سلمان: لو قنعت بما رزقت، لم تكن مطهرتي مرهونة عند البقال! (3)
هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه. وله شاهد بمثل هذا الإسناد:
[التعليق - من تلخيص الذهبي] ترقيم العلميه 7146 - صحيح
It is narrated from Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: My companion and I went to Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him). He placed bread and salt before us and said: Had the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not forbidden us from going to excessive trouble (takalluf), I would have gone to trouble (to prepare a better meal) for you. At that my companion said: If only there were some sa'tar (wild thyme) in this salt of ours. So he sent his water vessel to the grocer and pawned it, and brought sa'tar. When we had finished eating, my companion said: All praise is for Allah, who has made us content with what He has provided us. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had you truly been content with what you were provided, my water vessel would not be lying in pawn with the grocer! This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Note / Clarification: In our manuscripts the word "al-Marrudhi" here has been corrupted into "al-Marwazi".
(2) تحرَّف في نسخنا الخطية إلى: المروزي.
Grading: This hadith is "hasan" on the basis of the combination of all its routes.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): This particular chain is soft (weak) because of Sulayman bin Qarm, but there is corroboration (mutaba'ah) for him.
(3) حديث حسن بمجموع طرقه، وهذا إسناد ليّن من أجل سليمان بن قرم، وقد توبع.
Reference / Source: It was recorded by Imam al-Bayhaqi in "Shu'ab al-Iman" (9153) with the chain of Abu 'Abd Allah al-Hakim. Imam Ahmad in "al-Musnad" 39/(23733) narrated it through the route of Qays bin al-Rabi', from 'Uthman bin Shabur, from Shaqiq (or a narrator like him), that: a man came to Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he offered him whatever he had and said: "Had the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not forbidden us from going to great trouble for our companion, we would certainly have gone to great trouble for you".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In this chain Qays is weak and his shaykh 'Uthman is majhul (unknown).
وأخرجه البيهقي في "الشعب" (9153) عن أبي عبد الله الحاكم، بهذا الإسناد. وأخرجه أحمد 39/ (23733) من طريق قيس بن الربيع، عن عثمان بن شابور، عن شقيق أو نحوه: أنَّ سلمان دخل عليه رجل، فدعا له بما كان عنده، فقال: لولا أنَّ رسول الله ﷺ نهانا - أو لولا أنا نُهينا - أن يتكلّف أحدنا لصاحبه، لتكلّفنا لك. قيس فيه ضعف وشيخه عثمان مجهول.
