وَعَنْ أَسْوَدَ بْنِ أَصْرَمَ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ بِإِبِلٍ لَهُ سِمَانٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي زَمَنِ مَحْلٍ ، وَجُدُوبٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَجِبُوا مِنْ سِمَنِهَا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ : " لِمَ جَلَبْتَ إِبِلَكَ هَذِهِ ؟ " . قَالَ : أَرَدْتُ بِهَا خَادِمًا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ عِنْدَهُ خَادِمٌ ؟ " فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ : عِنْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " هَاتِ " فَجَاءَ بِهَا عُثْمَانُ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَسْوَدُ قَالَ : مِثْلَهَا أُرِيدُ . فَقَالَ : عِنْدِي فَخُذْهَا . فَأَخَذَهَا أَسْوَدُ ، وَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِبِلَهُ . قَالَ أَسْوَدُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوْصِنِي . قَالَ : " تَمْلِكُ لِسَانَكَ " قَالَ : فَمَا أَمَلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْهُ ؟ قَالَ : " فَتَمْلِكُ يَدَكَ " قَالَ : فَمَا أَمَلِكُ إِذَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ يَدِي ؟ قَالَ : " فَلَا تَقُلْ بِلِسَانِكَ إِلَّا مَعْرُوفًا ، وَلَا تَبْسُطْ يَدَكَ إِلَّا إِلَى خَيْرٍ " .
قُلْتُ : وَلَهُ طَرِيقٌ فِي الصَّمْتِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بُخْتٍ ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Aswad bin Asram (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he came to Madinah with a fat, healthy camel at a time of famine and drought. When the people of Madinah saw it, they admired the camel's health. The narrator says: His camel was mentioned before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to him, and they were brought to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, examined them and said: Why have you brought this camel of yours? He said: I want to get a servant in exchange for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who has a servant? Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I have one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring her. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) brought her. When Aswad saw that slave woman, he said: This is just the kind I wanted. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: She is mine; take her. So Sayyiduna Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) took her, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took his camel. Sayyiduna Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, give me some counsel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Keep control of your tongue. He said: If I cannot control it, then on what shall I keep firm? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Keep control of your hand. He said: If I cannot control even my hand, then what shall I control? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Speak only good with your tongue, and extend your hand only towards good deeds. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration will come with another chain in the chapter concerning silence.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator Abd al-Rahman bin Bukht; I have not found anyone who has written his biography, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
