Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْأَبْدَالُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ثَلَاثُونَ مِثْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كُلَّمَا مَاتَ رَجُلٌ أَبْدَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا قَالَ أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ كَلَامٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا وَهُوَ مُنْكَرٌ يَعْنِ حَدِيثَ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Wahhab ibn 'Ata' told us, al-Hasan ibn Dhakwan informed us, from 'Abd al-Wahid ibn Qays, from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "The Substitutes in this nation are thirty, like Ibrahim, the close friend of the Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic. Whenever one of them dies, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, replaces him with another man in his place." His father, may Allah have mercy on him, said concerning it, meaning the hadith of 'Abd al-Wahhab: there is other wording besides this, and it is objectionable, meaning the hadith.
