Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29520

Abd bin Humayd narrated to us, Sulayman bin Dawud narrated to us, on the authority of Shu’bah, on the authority of Abu Bishr, on the authority of Sa’id bin Jubayr, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both. He said: Omar was asking me with the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and Abd al-Rahman bin Awf said to him: Should I ask him, and we have sons like him? He said: Omar has this knowledge, so he asked him about this verse: (When God’s victory and conquest come) I said, “It is only the term of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.” He taught him the salutation and recited the surah to the end. Omar said to him, “By God, I do not know of it except what you know.” Abu Issa said. This is a hasan and authentic hadith. Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to us, Muhammad bin Ja’far narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, on the authority of Abu Bishr, with this chain of narration. Something similar, except that he said, “Abd al-Rahman bin Awf said to him: ‘Ask him, and we have a son like him.’ This is a good and authentic hadith.”
