Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #30004

Qutaibah narrated to us, he said, Al-Layth narrated to us, on the authority of Hisham bin Saad, on the authority of Zayd bin Aslam, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: We camped with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, made a house, so people passed by, and the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Who is this, O Abu Hurairah?” Then I said, “So-and-so.” He says, “What a fine servant of God this is.” And he says, “Who is this?” Then I say, “So-and-so.” He says, “What a miserable servant of God this is.” “Until Khalid bin Al-Walid passed by and said, “Who is this?” I said, “This is Khalid bin Al-Walid.” He said, “Yes, Abdullah Khalid.” Ibn al-Walid is a sword from “The swords of God.” Abu Issa said, “This is a strange hadith, and we do not know of Zaid bin Aslam hearing from Abu Hurairah, but I have a mursal hadith.” And on the authority of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq.
