Shaikh Naaserud-Deen al-Albaanee رحمه الله mentioned
in al-Dha`eefah:
598 –
❝When he (The Messenger of
Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم)
came to Madeenah, the Women and children began to sing:
Tala`al Badru `Alaynaa (The full moon rose over us)
Min Thaneeyaatil Wadaa` (From the valley of Wadaa` (one
of the entrances into Madeenah))
Wajaba-sh Shukru `Alaynaa (Giving thanks is mandatory
upon us)
Maa Da`aa Lillaahi Daa` (As long as there is a caller
calling to Allaah).❞
Ruling: “Dha`eef”
It was reported by Abu al-Hasan al-Khula`eey in “al-Fawaa’id”
(2/59) and al-Baihaqee in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah” (2/233), from Fadhal Ibn
al-Hibaab who said: I heard `Ubaidullaah Ibn Muhammad Ibn `Aaishah saying…and
he mentioned the Hadeeth.
The Isnaad of this narration is weak;
the narrators are trustworthy, but there are three or more narrators missing from
its chain so it is considered “Mu`dhal”. Ibn
`Aaishah is one of the Shuyookh (teachers) of Imaam Ahmad (and Abd Dawood), and
he narrated it through Irsaal (i.e. omitting the
names of his teachers). And this is what al-Haafidh al-`Iraaqee mentioned in
his checking of “al-Ihyaa’” (2/244).
[TN: Ibn `Aaishah died in the year 228 AH, and was as
such, at least 120 years away from the event of the Hijrah making absolutely
clear, the wide broken link between the narrator and the narration.]
Al-Baihaqee said (in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah”), and from him Ibn
Katheer reported it in “al-Bidaayah wal-Nihaayah”, that al-Baihaqee said: “This
is how our scholars have reported it, that this was said (by the people of
Madeenah), when (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم)
came (to Madeenah) from Makkah; and not when he came to Madeenah through the
valley of Wadaa` (after the battle of) Tabook.”
But Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله refuted it (i.e. the statement of
al-Baihaqee) in “al-Zaad al-Ma`aad” (3/13), saying: “It is a clear conjecture because
(the valley) “Thaniyyaat al-Wadaa`” is in the direction of al-Shaam (i.e. to
the north of Madeenah); people coming from Makkah to Madeenah do not even see
it, and nor does anyone pass through it except those who are going to (or
coming from) al-Shaam.”
--end of quite from al-Dha`eefah
(2/63)
Ibn al-Hajar also graded this narration as “Mu`dhal” (weak due to two or three consecutive
narrators missing from its chain). [Fath al-Baaree (7/261)]
He also said: “Perhaps it may have happened when the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم
returned from the Tabook expedition (Ghazwah).” [Fath al-Baaree (7/262)]
Some historians have said that there are two “Thaniyyaat
al-Wadaa`”, what is confirmed is the one to the north, in the direction of
al-Shaam. But there is dispute regarding the one in the direction of Makkah.
Conclusion: There are two defects regarding this incident:
A) There is no doubt about
the severe weakness of the Isnaad of this narration, as three or more consecutive
narrators are missing from its chain. The scholars who graded it as “Weak” are
Ibn Hajar, al-`Iraaqee and al-Albaanee رحمهم الله.
B) There is dispute regarding
the place of the valley, and whether it occurred when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came from Tabook or from Makkah.
And Allaah knows best.
