Arabic text

4674 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، وَمَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الشَّعِيرِيُّ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَدْرِي أَتُبَّعٌ لَعِينٌ هُوَ أَمْ لَا، وَمَا أَدْرِي أَعُزَيْرٌ نَبِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ لَا»

Commentary

The ancient Yemeni people of Sabā’ called their kings Tubba’. This refers to one of them who was said to have come through Makkah and Al-Madīnah, prior to the time of ‘Isa, peace be upon him. See the Tafsīr of Ibn Kathīr (Sūrat Ad-Dukhān 44:34-77). ‘Uzair lived either between Dāwūd and Sulaimān, or between Zakariyyā and Yahyā, peace be upon them all.
