274. ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Abdullāh bin Arqam Al-Khuzā’ī narrated from his father (‘Abdullāh bin Arqam), who said: “I was with my father at the plains of Namirah.[1] I passed by a mount and saw Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ standing in Ṣalāt.” He said: “I was looking at the earthiness of his armpits when he prostrated.” [That is]: “Whiteness.” (Ṣaḥīh) He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn ‘Abbās, Ibn Buhainah, Jābir, Aḥmar bin Jaz’, Maimūnah, Abū Ḥumaid, Abū Usaid, Abū Mas’ūd, Saḥl bin Sa’d, Muḥammad bin Maslamah, Al-Barā’ bin ‘Azib, ‘Adī bin ‘Amīrah, and ‘Āishah. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of ‘Abdullāh bin Arqam is a Ḥasan Ḥadīth, we do not know of it except as a narration of Dāwūd bin Qais, and there is no known Ḥadīth from ‘Abdullāh bin Arqam Al-Khuzā’ī from the Prophet ﷺ besides this. This is acted upon by [most of] the people of knowledge [among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ]. This Ahmar bin Jaz’ is a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ who reported only one Hadīth. ‘Abdullāh bin Arqam Az-Zahrī was Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq’s scribe, and ‘Abdullāh bin Arqam Al-Khuzā’ī is only known to have this Hadīth, from the Prophet ﷺ.

٢٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ ‌دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَقْرَمِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ»، فَمَرَّتْ رَكَبَةٌ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَيْ إِبْطَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ - أَرَى بَيَاضَهُ -. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَحْمَرَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ، وَمَيْمُونَةَ، وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، وَأَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، وَالْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، وَعَائِشَةَ. حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ. وَلَا نَعْرِفُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ. وَأَحْمَرُ بْنُ جَزْءٍ هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَهُ حَدِيثٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ الزُّهْرِيُّ كَاتِبُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ إِنَّمَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
