English translation

[1823. At-Taimī narrated from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh and Anas bin Mālik who said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ supplicated against locusts he would say: 'O Allāh! Destroy the locusts, kill the large among him, and destroy the small, spoil his core, and cut off his rear. Take their mouths from our livelihood and our sustenance. Verily, You indeed listen to the supplication!' So a man said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! How is it that you supplicate against one of Allāh's armies that He cut off their rear?'" He said: "So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'They are but scattered from a fish in the ocean.'" (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. We do not know of it except from this route. And Mūsā bin Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm At-Taimī has been criticized. He narrates many Gharīb and Munkar narrations. His father Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm is trustworthy, and he is from Al-Madīnah.

١٨٢٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ، عَنْ ‌مُوسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ‌وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَا: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَعَا عَلَى الْجَرَادِ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِكِ الْجَرَادَ، اقْتُلْ كِبَارَهُ، وَأَهْلِكْ صِغَارَهُ»، وَأَفْسِدْ بَيْضَهُ، وَاقْطَعْ دَابِرَهُ وَخُذْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ عَنْ مَعَاشِنَا وَأَرْزَاقِنَا إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ تَدْعُو عَلَى جُنْدٍ مِنْ أَجْنَادِ اللهِ بِقَطْعِ دَابِرِهِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّهَا نَثْرَةُ حُوتٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَمُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ قَدْ تُكُلِّمَ فِيهِ وَهُوَ كَثِيرُ الْغَرَائِبِ وَالْمَنَاكِيرِ، وَأَبُوهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثِقَةٌ، وَهُوَ مَدَنِيٌّ.
