Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4462 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursing al-Hakam

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَمِيرًا بِالشَّامِ غَزَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ ، فَسَلِمُوا وَغَنِمُوا ، وَكَانَ فِي غَنِيمَتِهِمْ جَارِيَةٌ نَفِيسَةٌ ، فَصَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ يَزِيدُ ، فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ ، وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالشَّامِ ، فَاسْتَعَانَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى يَزِيدَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ لِيَزِيدَ : رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَارِيَتَهُ ، فَتَلَكَّأَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَمَا وَاللهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُبَدِّلُ سُنَّتِي لَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ ثُمَّ وَلَّى عَنْهُ ، فَلَحِقَهُ يَزِيدُ ، فَقَالَ : أُذَكِّرُكَ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ لَا ، وَرَدَّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ جَارِيَتَهُ .
It is narrated from Abu al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that when Sayyiduna Yazid bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) was governor of Sham, the Muslims went on a campaign in which they remained safe and also obtained spoils. Among their spoils was a very fine and precious slave girl, who fell to the share of a Muslim man, but Yazid sent for him and took the slave girl from him by force. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Sham in those days, so that man sought the help of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) against this action of Yazid. He went with him and, addressing Yazid, said: "Return his slave girl to him." Yazid hesitated three times in complying, so Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Listen! By Allah! If you do this, then (remember that) I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, the first to change my Sunnah will be a man of Banu Umayyah.'" Then he turned and walked away, and Yazid hurried after him and said: "I ask you by Allah Almighty: am I that man?" He replied: "Allahumma la" (O Allah, no; you are not he). And Yazid returned the slave girl to that man.
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this hadith in his Musnad (hadith: 4462), and the hadith scholar Nasir al-Din al-Albani declared it sahih (authentic) in Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah (hadith: 1749).
