Sunan Abu Dawood — Hadith 3417
Sahih
Sunan Abu Dawood : 3417
A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Ubadah bin al-Samit رضی اللہ عنہ through a different chain of narrators, but the former tradition is more perfect. This version has:
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ نُسَيٍّ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، نَحْوَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا تَرَى فِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: جَمْرَةٌ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ تَقَلَّدْتَهَا أَوْ تَعَلَّقْتَهَا.
I said: What do you think about it, Messenger of Allah? He said: A live coal between your shoulders which you have put around your neck or hanged it.
