3252. It was narrated from Abū Suhail Nāfi' bin Mālik bin Abī 'Āmir, from his father, that he heard Talḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh, i.e., in the Hadīth mentioning the story about the Bedouin. The Prophet ﷺ said: "He will succeed, by his father, if he is telling the truth, and he will enter Paradise, by his father, if he is telling the truth."[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
3252 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ نَافِعِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يَعْنِي فِي حَدِيثِ قِصَّةِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْلَحَ وَأَبِيهِ، إِنْ صَدَقَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ»

Shaikh Al-Albānī considers the expression Wa abīhi (literally, by his father) to be an interpolation, grading it Shadhdh (irregular) and weak with that wording. Other scholars have suggested that the words are an expression habitually introduced into the speech, not intended to make it into an oath. Some of the scholars have also suggested that in fact the word Rabb (Lord) is understood before Wa abīhi, which will give it the meaning: By the Lord of his father, and still others said that perhaps this was before it was clearly prohibited.
