Hadith of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA)

حديث البراء بن عازب

Hadith 658:140

Asbat narrated to us, he said: Mutarrif narrated to us, from Abu al-Jahm, from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib, who said: "I was searching for camels of mine that had gone astray during the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. I was wandering among the dwellings when I came upon a group of riders and horsemen. They arrived and circled around my courtyard, then they brought out a man. They did not question him, nor did they speak to him, until they struck his neck. When they had gone, I asked about him, and they said: 'He had consummated marriage with his father’s wife.'"

حدثنا أسباط، قال: حدثنا مطرف، عن أبي الجهم، عن البراء بن عازب قال: " إني لأطوف على إبل ضلت لي في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأنا أجول في أبيات، فإذا أنا بركب وفوارس، إذ جاءوا، فطافوا بفنائي، فاستخرجوا رجلا، فما سألوه، ولا كلموه، حتى ضربوا عنقه، فلما ذهبوا، سألت عنه، فقالوا: عرس بامرأة أبيه "
