حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَأَبُو مَعْنٍ الرَّقَاشِيُّ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَتْ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ يَتِيمَةٌ وَهِيَ أُمُّ أَنَسٍ ، فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْيَتِيمَةَ ، فَقَالَ : آنْتِ هِيَهْ لَقَدْ كَبِرْتِ لَا كَبِرَ سِنُّكِ ، فَرَجَعَتِ الْيَتِيمَةُ إِلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ تَبْكِي ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : مَا لَكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ ؟ قَالَتْ : الْجَارِيَةُ دَعَا عَلَيَّ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا يَكْبَرَ سِنِّي ، فَالْآنَ لَا يَكْبَرُ سِنِّي أَبَدًا ، أَوْ قَالَتْ : قَرْنِي فَخَرَجَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مُسْتَعْجِلَةً تَلُوثُ خِمَارَهَا حَتَّى لَقِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا لَكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، أَدَعَوْتَ عَلَى يَتِيمَتِي ، قَالَ : وَمَا ذَاكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ، قَالَتْ : زَعَمَتْ أَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَ أَنْ لَا يَكْبَرَ سِنُّهَا وَلَا يَكْبَرَ قَرْنُهَا ، قَالَ : فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أَمَا تَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ شَرْطِي عَلَى رَبِّي أَنِّي اشْتَرَطْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَرْضَى كَمَا يَرْضَى الْبَشَرُ ، وَأَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ ، فَأَيُّمَا أَحَدٍ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا بِأَهْلٍ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا لَهُ طَهُورًا ، وَزَكَاةً ، وَقُرْبَةً يُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ، وقَالَ أَبُو مَعْنٍ : يُتَيِّمَةٌ بِالتَّصْغِيرِ فِي الْمَوَاضِعِ الثَّلَاثَةِ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that there was an orphan girl with Umm Sulaim (who was the mother of Anas). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw that orphan girl and said: O, it is you; you have grown young. May you not advance in years! That slave-girl returned to Umm Sulaim weeping. Umm Sulaim said: O daughter, what is the matter with you? She said: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) has invoked curse upon me that I should not grow in age and thus I would never grow in age, or she said, in my (length) of life. Umm Sulaim went out wrapping her head-dress hurriedly until she met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He said to her: Umm Sulaim, what is the matter with you? She said: Allah's Apostle, you invoked curse upon my orphan girl. He said: Umm Sulaim, what is that? She said: She (the orphan girl) states you have cursed her saying that she might not grow in age or grow in life. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and then said: Umm Sulaim, don't you know that I have made this term with my Lord. And the term with my Lord is that I said to Him: 1 am a human being and I am pleased just as a human being is pleased and I lose temper just as a human being loses temper, so for any person from amongst my Ummah whom I curse and he in no way deserves it, let that, O Lord, be made a source of purification and purity and nearness to (Allah) on the Day of Resurrection.
