Hadith 997

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَصَابَهُ جُرْحٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُمِرَ بِالْغَسْلِ فَمَاتَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ، أَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was wounded during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was ordered to perform ghusl (ritual bath) due to janabah (state of major ritual impurity), and he died as a result of that ghusl. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "The people have killed him; may Allah destroy them. Is not the cure for ignorance to ask a question?"
