English translation

2178. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There shall be a Fitnah of extermination of the 'Arabs. Its fighters are in the Fire. During it, the tongue is stronger than the sword." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl saying: "We do not know of Ziyāḏ bin Sīmīn Kūsh (a narrator in the chain) other than in this Hadīth." Ḥammad bin Salamah reported it from Laith in Marfū' form, and Ḥammad bin Zaid reported it in Mawqūf form from Laith.

٢١٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ ‌طَاوُسٍ ، عَنْ ‌زِيَادِ بْنِ سِيمِينَ كُوشَ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ تَسْتَنْظِفُ» الْعَرَبُ قَتْلَاهَا فِي النَّارِ، اللِّسَانُ فِيهَا أَشَدُّ مِنَ السَّيْفِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَقُولُ: لَا يُعْرَفُ لِزِيَادِ بْنِ سِيمِينَ كُوشَ غَيْرُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، رَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ فَرَفَعَهُ، وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ لَيْثٍ فَأَوْقَفَهُ.

Commentary

The fire of mutual quarreling and fighting is usually flared up by the flint of the tongue.
