حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَخُو سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْعُطَارِدِيِّ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ عَشْرٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ عِشْرُونَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ ثَلَاثُونَ حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَن أَبِي رَجَاءٍ مُرْسَلًا وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ غَيْرُهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Kathir, brother of Sulayman ibn Kathir, told us, Ja'far ibn Sulayman told us, from Awf, from Abu Raja' al-Utaridi, from Imran, that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "Peace be upon you." He returned the greeting, then the man sat down, and he said: "Ten." Then another came and said: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." He returned the greeting, then the man sat down, and he said: "Twenty." Then another came and said: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." He returned the greeting, then the man sat down, and he said: "Thirty." Hawdhah told us, from Awf, from Abu Raja', as a report without full chain, and likewise others have said.
