حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الرَّقِّيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : أَرَادَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَنْ يَسْتَعْمِلَ مَسْرُوقًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ : أَتَسْتَعْمِلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَقَايَا قَتَلَةِ عُثْمَانَ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَسْرُوقٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَكَانَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مَوْثُوقَ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ قَتْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ : مَنْ لِلصِّبْيَةِ قَالَ : النَّارُ فَقَدْ رَضِيتُ لَكَ مَا رَضِيَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Ibrahim said: Ad-Dahhak ibn Qays intended to appoint Masruq as governor. Thereupon Umarah ibn Uqbah said to him: Are you appointing a man from the remnants of the murderers of Uthman? Masruq said to him: Ibn Masud narrated to us, and he was trustworthy in respect of traditions, that when the Prophet ﷺ intended to kill your father, he said: Who will look after my children? He replied: Fire. I also like for you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked for you.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt was a very wretched person.
He had greatly exceeded in enmity towards the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and it was he who threw the entrails of a camel upon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) during prayer.
He was killed on the way back from Badr.
He was killed while being tied up.
As is explicitly mentioned in Fath al-Bari.
And this is the point of relevance in this chapter.
('Awn al-Ma'bud) There were two others with him:
Tu'aymah bin 'Adi,
and Nadr bin al-Harith.
➋
If a criminal or prisoner is to be executed, then instead of targeting him from a distance, his head should be struck off with a sword or he should be hanged.
