Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27218

Qutaibah narrated to us, on the authority of Malik bin Anas, on the authority of Al-Ansari, on the authority of Ma’n, on the authority of Malik bin Anas, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, on the authority of Sa’id. Ibn Al-Musayyab, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “None of the Muslims will die if three children are touched by them.” Hellfire except the permissibility of the oath. He said, and on the authority of Omar, Muadh, Ka’b bin Malik, Utbah bin Abd, Umm Sulaym, Jabir, and Anas. And Abu Dharr, Ibn Masoud, Abu Tha’labah Al-Ashja’i, Ibn Abbas, Uqba bin Amir, Abu Sa’id, and Qurrah bin Ayas Al-Muzani. He said: Abu Tha’labah Al-Ashja’i has one hadith on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and it is this hadith, and it is not Al-Khushani. Abu Issa said: Abu Hurairah, a good and authentic hadith.
