عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ خَالِي وَمَعَهُ الرَّايَةُ فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ أَوْ أَقْتُلَهُ وَآخُذَ مَالَهُ.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I met my maternal uncle in such a state that he had a flag with him. I asked: Where are you going? He said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent me to a man who, after his father’s death, has married his (father’s) wife. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent me so that I may strike his neck, or kill him, and seize his wealth.
