Chapter: The Servant Commits a Sin
Hadith 166
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَدَفَعَ الرَّاعِي فِي الْمُرَاحِ سَخْلَةً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”لاَ تَحْسِبَنَّ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ: لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ إِنَّ لَنَا غَنَمًا مِئَةً لاَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَزِيدَ، فَإِذَا جَاءَ الرَّاعِي بِسَخْلَةٍ ذَبَحْنَا مَكَانَهَا شَاةً“، فَكَانَ فِيمَا قَالَ: ”لاَ تَضْرِبْ ظَعِينَتَكَ كَضَرْبِكَ أَمَتَكَ، وَإِذَا اسْتَنْشَقْتَ فَبَالِغْ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Laqit bin Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). And the shepherd brought a kid of a goat into the enclosure. (The Prophet, peace be upon him, ordered a goat to be slaughtered) and said: "Do not worry. We have a hundred goats, and we do not let them exceed a hundred. When the shepherd brings a newly born kid, we slaughter a goat in its place." Among the things the Prophet (peace be upon him) said at that time was also: "Do not beat your wife like a slave-girl, and when performing ablution, exaggerate in rinsing your nose except when you are fasting (then do not exaggerate)."
