LessonsHistorical Examples of Muʿanʿan Transmission and the Conclusion of Muslim’s IntroductionQuiz

وَأَسْنَدَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيُّ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا.
Translation: ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yazīd al-Laythī transmitted one Prophetic report through Tamīm al-Dārī.

Al-Nawawī identifies this transmission with “al-dīn al-naṣīḥah.” That identification belongs to the commentary: Muslim’s own argumentative sentence names the chain but does not reproduce the full matn.

Several explanations of the nisbah «al-Dārī» are recorded. Nawawī discusses an affiliation to the tribe Dār, a reported connection with the coastal place Dārīn, and the form “al-Dayrī” (with yāʾ) connected to a monastery and Tamīm’s pre-Islamic Christian background. Some affiliations can coexist; that does not make every historical attribution equally certain. The identification of the hadith “al-dīn al-naṣīḥah” remains unaffected.
