Historical Anecdote from the Era of the Tabi’in
This video recounts a captivating historical anecdote from the era of the Tabi’in (the generation after the Prophet’s Companions), around 100-110 AH in Basra. The story centers on Mansour al-Qa’nabi, a fiery and impulsive young man known for his boldness.
One afternoon, Mansour was casually sitting on his doorstep, observing passersby, when he noticed a distinguished man riding a donkey—a symbol of status at the time—surrounded by admirers. Curious, Mansour approached the group and learned that the man was Shu’bah ibn al-Hajjaj, a revered hadith scholar and “Commander of the Faithful” in hadith narration.
Determined to hear the hadith himself, Mansour boldly pushed through the crowd, wearing a red garment that symbolized his audacious personality (noting that red was frowned upon for men). When he reached Shu’bah, he demanded to be narrated to, but Shu’bah refused, as scholars only shared sacred hadiths with those deemed worthy and knowledgeable.
Undeterred, Mansour dramatically drew a dagger and threatened Shu’bah to narrate the hadith to him. This intense moment highlighted Mansour’s fiery spirit and the high regard scholars had for hadith authenticity and transmission.
The story ends with Shu’bah reluctantly beginning the narration, citing his chain of transmission, illustrating the tension between youthful impulsiveness and scholarly rigor in early Islamic history.
