وَحَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ الْمَازِنِيُّ، إِمَامُ مَسْجِدِ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ ثَلاَثُ خِصَالٍ سَمِعْتُهُنَّ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَنِي تَمِيمٍ لاَ أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُمْ بَعْدُ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِهَذَا الْمَعْنَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " هُمْ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ قِتَالاً فِي الْمَلاَحِمِ " . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الدَّجَّالَ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
There are some distinguishing features of Banu Tamim which I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and my love for them is never on the decline after that and the words are: They are the bravest amongst people in the battlefield and there is no mention of (the word)" Dajjal".

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2525c
This hadith about Banu Tamim gives a related wording from Abu Huraira. He said that he heard three distinguishing features about Banu Tamim from Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, and that his love for them did not decline after that. In this version, the wording says that they are the bravest among people in the battlefield, and it does not mention Ad-Dajjal. This difference matters because the narrator clearly points out what is and is not in this version. The main teaching is not to mix all wordings without care. This narration praises Banu Tamim for bravery in fighting, while the related wording mentions standing firm against Ad-Dajjal. Both should be read with attention to their exact text.
What we learn from this hadith
- Abu Huraira linked his love for Banu Tamim to prophetic praise.
- This wording mentions bravery in battle and does not mention Ad-Dajjal.
- The narration shows care in noting differences between reports.
