Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #30095

Abd al-Quddus ibn Muhammad al-Attar told us, he said, my uncle Salih ibn Abd al-Kabir ibn Shuaib ibn al-Habhab told me, he said, my uncle Abd told me. Al-Salam bin Shuaib, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Azd is the lion of God in On the earth, people want to put them down, but God refuses but to raise them up. And a time will come upon people when a man will say, “I wish my father were an Ezdi.” “My mother was a Jazidi.” This is a strange hadith. We only know it from this perspective. This hadith was narrated on the authority of Anas. This chain of narration is authentic, but in our view it is more correct.
