Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1087

عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ : دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَاءٍ ، فَأَتَيْتُ خِبَاءً فَإِذَا فِيهِ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْرَابِيَّةٌ . قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ مَاءً يَتَوَضَّأُ ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مَاءٌ ؟ قَالَتْ : بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تُظِلُّ السَّمَاءُ وَلَا تُقِلُّ الْأَرْضُ رُوحًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ رُوحِهِ ، وَلَا أَعَزَّ ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذِهِ الْقِرْبَةَ مَسْكُ مَيْتَةٍ ، وَلَا أُحِبُّ أُنَجِّسُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرُحْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ : " ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ دَبَغَتْهَا فَهِيَ طَهُورُهَا " . قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ : أَيْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ دَبَغْتُهَا . فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ مِنْهَا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ بِبَعْضِهِ ، وَفِيهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، وَفِيهِمَا كَلَامٌ ، وَقَدْ وُثِّقَا .
Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me for water. I came to a tent in which there was a Bedouin woman. I said: The Messenger of Allah is asking for water for ablution; do you have any water? The woman said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for the Messenger of Allah! By Allah, the sky has not shaded, nor has the earth carried, any soul that is more beloved and more honoured to me than his soul. There is a waterskin here, but it is made from the hide of a dead animal, and I do not like to make the Messenger of Allah impure with it. (Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) says:) I went back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. He said: Go back to that woman; if she had tanned this hide, then that (tanning) will make it pure. The narrator says: I went to the woman and mentioned this to her. She said: Yes! By Allah, I did tan it. (Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) says:) So I brought water from it (for the Prophet).
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration, and Imam al-Tabarani recorded part of it; its chain mentions that Ali bin Yazid narrated it from al-Qasim. Both of these narrators have been criticised, and both have also been declared thiqah (trustworthy).
