Hadith of the Umm Walad of Shaybah ibn Uthman (RA)

حديث أم ولد شيبة بن عثمان

Hadith 1245:2

'Affan narrated to us, he said: Hammad bin Zayd narrated to us, he said: Budayl bin Maysarah narrated to us, from al-Mughirah bin Hakim, from Safiyyah bint Shaybah, from a woman among them, that she saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from a small window while he was hastening in the bottom of the watercourse, and he was saying: "The valley is not crossed except by hastening." And I think he said: And the garment had uncovered his knees. Then Hammad said afterwards: "It is not crossed," or he said: "The Abtah (valley floor) is not crossed except by hastening." And I heard him say: "The Abtah is not crossed except by hastening."

حدثنا عفان، قال: حدثنا حماد بن زيد، قال: حدثنا بديل بن ميسرة، عن المغيرة بن حكيم، عن صفية بنت شيبة، عن امرأة منهم، أنها رأت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من خوخة وهو يسعى في بطن المسيل وهو يقول: " لا يقطع الوادي إلا شدا "، وأظنه قال: وقد انكشف الثوب عن ركبتيه، ثم قال حماد بعد: " لا يقطع "، أو قال: " الأبطح إلا شدا "، وسمعته يقول: " لا يقطع الأبطح إلا شدا "
