حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ غُنْدَرٌ , حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ , حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ , قال : سَمِعَتُ عَمِّي يَحْيَى , وَمَا أَدْرَكْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا بِهِ شَبِيهًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ , أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ جَدُّ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ أُمِّهِ , أَنَّهُ أَخَذَهُ وَجَعٌ فِي حَلْقِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ : الذُّبْحَةُ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأُبْلِغَنَّ أَوْ لَأُبْلِيَنَّ فِي أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عُذْرًا " , فَكَوَاهُ بِيَدِهِ فَمَاتَ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِيتَةَ سَوْءٍ لِلْيَهُودِ , يَقُولُونَ : أَفَلَا دَفَعَ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ , وَمَا أَمْلِكُ لَهُ وَلَا لِنَفْسِي شَيْئًا " .
´Muhammad bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin Zurarah Al-Ansari said:` “I heard my paternal uncle Yahya – and I have not seen a man among us like him – tell the people that Sa'd bin Zurarah, who was the grandfather of Muhammad through his mother, was suffering from pain in his throat, known as croup. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I shall do my best for Abu Umamah.’ Such that I will be excused (i.e., free of blame if he is not healed). And he cauterized him with his own hand, but he died. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘May the Jews be doomed! They will say: “Why could he not avert death from his Companions?” But I have no power to do anything for him or for my own self.’”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
“Dhabh” (ذبح) is pronounced with a “dhal” having a dammah (u-sound) and a “ba” with either a kasrah (i-sound) or sukun (no vowel).
This refers to a pain or wound that occurs in the throat,
and the chances of survival for a patient suffering from it are very slim.
➋
One should make every possible effort to treat the patient,
so that the thought does not arise in the heart that if treatment had been sought, perhaps the patient would not have died from this illness.
➌
Life and death are solely in the control of Allah.
Even the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) does not have authority over anyone’s life or death.
➍
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has also graded the mentioned narration as “hasan” (good) except for the phrase (ميتة سوء... “an evil death...”)
— “May the Jews be afflicted with an evil death”—
the rest of the narration is considered hasan.
