اُردوEn
قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، وَنَسَخْتُهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُذَامٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَدِيٌّ ، كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ لَهُ حِوَارٌ ، فَرَمَى إِحْدَاهُمَا بِحَجَرٍ فَقَتَلَهَا ، فَرَكِبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ بِتَبُوكَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَأْنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَقْتُولَةِ ، فَقَالَ : أَدِّ لِوَارِثِهَا عَقْلَهَا . قَالَ عَدِيٌّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - : فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ حَمْرَاءَ جَدْعَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، تَعْلَمُنَّ أَنَّ الْأَيْدِيَ ثَلَاثَةٌ ، يَدُ اللهِ تَعَالَى هِيَ الْعُلْيَا ، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْوُسْطَى ، وَيَدُ الْمُعْطَى هِيَ السُّفْلَى ، فَتَعَفَّفُوا ، وَلَوْ بِحُزَمِ الْحَطَبِ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ . ؟
It is narrated from Adi (may Allah be pleased with him), a Companion from Banu Judham, that a quarrel arose between him and his two wives. In the course of it he struck one of them with a stone in anger, and she died. So he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to learn how to settle this matter, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was staying at Tabuk at that time. He asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) about retaliation and blood money for the slain woman, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pay her heirs her blood money (diyah)." Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: That scene is still before my eyes, as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) riding a red she-camel of his whose ear was slightly cropped. He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people and said: "O people! Know well that hands are of three kinds: the Hand of Allah Almighty is the highest, the hand of the giver is in the middle, and the hand of the receiver is the lowest. So refrain from stretching out your hands before people and adopt chastity, even if you have to earn your provision by gathering bundles of firewood from the forest (through toil and labour)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his blessed hands and said before Allah: 'Allahumma hal ballaghtu' (O Allah! Have I conveyed (Your message)?)
