Hadith #29770
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبٌ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " سَلُوا اللَّهَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ " . قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَسِيلَةُ قَالَ " أَعْلَى دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لاَ يَنَالُهَا إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ أَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ إِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ . وَكَعْبٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلاَ نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَى عَنْهُ غَيْرَ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ .
Bundar narrated to us, Abu Asim narrated to us, Sufyan Al-Thawri narrated to us, on the authority of Laith, who is the son of Abi Sulaym, Ka’b narrated to me, Abu Kitten. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Ask God for the means for me.” They said, “O Messenger of God, and what is the means?” He said, “Higher.” A position in Paradise that only one man can attain. I hope that I am him.” He said: This is a strange hadith whose chain of narration is not strong. Ka'b is not known, and we do not know of anyone who narrated from him other than Laith bin Abi Sulaym.
