Chapter on the Narrations Regarding a Man Known as Silat ibn Ashyam

It has been narrated that in his Ummah (community), there will be a man named Silat ibn Ashyam. After his death, he will be upon his characteristics.

Narrated by Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl al-Qattan, narrated by Abdullah ibn Ja'far, narrated by Ya'qub ibn Sufyan, narrated by Abdullah ibn Uthman, narrated by Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, narrated by Abdur-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir who reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There will be a man in my Ummah named Silat ibn Ashyam, who will enter Paradise through his intercession."

Abu al-Husayn narrated to us, narrated by Abdullah ibn Ja'far who reported from Ya'qub, who reported from Sa'id ibn Asad, who narrated from Damra, from Ibn Shawzab who said: Mu'adhah al-'Adawiyya said, "Silat would not come from the mosque to his bed except desiring to stand up to pray."

I say: Silat ibn Ashyam was a man of miracles, and his mention here is lengthy.

[1] His biography can be found in al-Tarikh al-Kabir, Hilyat al-Awliya, and al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah.

[2] Mentioned his intercession in Hilyat al-Awliya.

[3] In Hilyat al-Awliya and al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah.
