حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى أُمَّ زُفَرَ ، تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةُ ، طَوِيلَةً سَوْدَاءَ عَلَى سُلَّمِ الْكَعْبَةِ ، قَالَ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : ”مَا أَصَابَ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ شَوْكَةٍ فَمَا فَوْقَهَا ، فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ.“
It is narrated from Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) that ‘Ata bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) informed me that he saw Sayyida Umm Zafar (may Allah be pleased with her) on the steps of the Ka‘bah; she was tall and her complexion was dark. It is narrated from Sayyida ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: “If a believer is pricked by a thorn or suffers anything less than that, it becomes an expiation for his sins.”
