Unzilat “Qurʾān 4:15” fa-lammā rufiʿa lwaḥy
u qāla rasūl u l-lāh i , ṣalʿam:
This is the earliest attestable
variant of the non-revelation
tradition. Divides the penal
part into two clauses. Uses
unqualified verbal forms. The
wording may have been based
on Qatāda’s tradition.
Ḥammād is quoted in two
revelation traditions and a
single tradition in the nonrevelation
cluster.
The penal-maxim attributed to
Ḥammād draws on the
wording of Shuʿba b. al-Ḥajjāj
and Hushaym b. Bashīr. The
isnāds above Ḥammād form ‘a
spider’.
Hushaym’s tradition is based
on the tradition of Shuʿba b.
al-Ḥajjāj.
