Abu al-Nadr narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) had pain in one of his legs. His brother came to see him; he had placed one leg over the other while he was lying down. His brother struck his leg with his hand, and struck it in a way that hurt him. He said: "You have hurt me! Do you not know that my leg is already in pain?" He said: "Yes (I know it)." He asked: "Then why did you do it?" The other said: "Do you not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this?"
This narration was recorded by Imam Ahmad, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except that the narrator Abu al-Nadr did not hear from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).
