حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ قَالَ: ثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَطُوفُ عَلَى إِبِلٍ ضَلَّتْ لِي فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنَا أَجُولُ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَكْبٍ وَفَوَارِسَ إِذْ جَاءُوا فَطَافُوا بِفِنَائِي فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا رَجُلًا فَمَا سَأَلُوهُ وَلَا كَلَّمُوهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا: عَرَّسَ بِامْرَأَةِ أَبِيهِ.
Narrated by Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: During the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my camels were lost, so I was going around different houses. Suddenly, I saw a caravan and horsemen; they advanced and circled in my courtyard. They demanded that a man be brought out. Then they neither asked him any question nor spoke to him, until they struck off his neck. When they left, I inquired about him. People informed me that he had married his father’s wife.
