Hadith 4073

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَعَلُوا بِنَبِيِّهِ- يُشِيرُ إِلَى رَبَاعِيَتِهِ- اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقْتُلُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ».
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (pointing to his broken canine tooth) said, "Allah's Wrath has become severe on the people who harmed His Prophet. Allah's Wrath has become severe on the man who is killed by the Apostle of Allah in Allah's Cause."

Hadith Commentary:

The "rabā‘ī" are the teeth that are on the right and left sides of the two front teeth, and every person has four rabā‘ī teeth.

Along with the lower rabā‘ī tooth on the right side of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), his lower lip was also wounded.
In the Battle of Uhud, ‘Utbah bin Abī Waqqās (radi Allahu anhu) struck the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with a stone, which affected the lower rabā‘ī tooth on the right side.
Sa‘d bin Abī Waqqās (radi Allahu anhu) says that he never had such eagerness to kill anyone as he had to kill his real brother ‘Utbah bin Abī Waqqās, because he had wounded the front two teeth of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that to trouble the close servants of Allah Ta'ala is to invite the wrath and anger of Allah Ta'ala, and the one against whom they are compelled to raise their hands is extremely wretched.
