Musnad Abi Ya'la 7390 — Nasr bin al-Hajjaj bin Ilat al-Sulami claimed
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : ادَّعَى نَصْرُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ عِلَاطٍ السُّلَمِيُّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ مَوْلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَقَالَ : مَوْلَايَ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ مَوْلَايَ ، وَقَالَ نَصْرٌ : أَخِي أَوْصَانِي بِمَنْزِلِهِ . قَالَ : فَطَالَتْ خُصُومَتُهُمْ ، فَدَخَلُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ - وَفِهْرٌ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ - فَادَّعَيَا .
فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ ، وَلِلْعَاهِرُ الْحَجَرُ ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ : فَأَيْنَ قَضَاؤُكَ هَذَا يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي زِيَادٍ ؟ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : قَضَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَيْرٌ مِنْ قَضَاءِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ لَا يُجِيبُ نَصْرًا إِلَى مَا يَدَّعِي ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ :
أَبَا خَالِدٍ خُذْ مِثْلَ مَالِي وِرَاثَةً وَخُذْنِي أَخًا عِنْدَ الْهَزَاهِزِ شَاهِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ مَالٌ ثَرِيٌّ وَمَنْصِبٌ سَنِيٌّ وَأَعْرَاقٌ تَهُزُّكَ صَاعِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا تَجْعَلَنَّ بَنَاتِنَا إِمَاءً لِمَخْزُومٍ وَكُنَّ مَوَاجِدًا أَبَا خَالِدٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَخْشَى ابْنَ خَالِدٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْحَجَّاجُ يَرْهَبُ خَالِدًا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا نَحْنُ نَارٌ وَلَا هُمُ جِنَانٌ تُرَى فِيهَا الْعُيُونُ رَوَاكِدَا .
فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ ، وَلِلْعَاهِرُ الْحَجَرُ ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ : فَأَيْنَ قَضَاؤُكَ هَذَا يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي زِيَادٍ ؟ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : قَضَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَيْرٌ مِنْ قَضَاءِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ لَا يُجِيبُ نَصْرًا إِلَى مَا يَدَّعِي ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ :
أَبَا خَالِدٍ خُذْ مِثْلَ مَالِي وِرَاثَةً وَخُذْنِي أَخًا عِنْدَ الْهَزَاهِزِ شَاهِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ مَالٌ ثَرِيٌّ وَمَنْصِبٌ سَنِيٌّ وَأَعْرَاقٌ تَهُزُّكَ صَاعِدَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا تَجْعَلَنَّ بَنَاتِنَا إِمَاءً لِمَخْزُومٍ وَكُنَّ مَوَاجِدًا أَبَا خَالِدٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَخْشَى ابْنَ خَالِدٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْحَجَّاجُ يَرْهَبُ خَالِدًا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا نَحْنُ نَارٌ وَلَا هُمُ جِنَانٌ تُرَى فِيهَا الْعُيُونُ رَوَاكِدَا .
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that Nasr bin al-Hajjaj bin Ilat al-Sulami claimed Abdullah bin Rabah, the mawla (freed slave) of Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), to be his brother. At this, Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid bin al-Walid stood up and said: "My mawla was born on the bed of my mawla (my father)." Nasr, on the other hand, said: "My brother left me an instruction concerning him." When their dispute grew long, they took the case to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him); at that time there was a cushion (stone-like) under his head. The two of them each presented their claim, and Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The child belongs to the one on whose bed it is born, and for the fornicator is the stone (deprivation)." At this Nasr said (alluding to the matter of Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan): "O Mu'awiyah! Then where was this judgement of yours regarding Ziyad?" Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "The judgement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is far better than, and takes precedence over, the judgement of Mu'awiyah." Since Abdullah bin Rabah would not accept Nasr's claim, Nasr (to win him over) composed these verses: "O Abu Khalid! Take a share equal to my wealth in inheritance, and take me as a brother who will stand by you and be present at times of trial and upheaval. O Abu Khalid! For you there is abundant wealth, high rank, and a noble lineage that will raise you to the heights. O Abu Khalid! Do not make our daughters slave-girls of Banu Makhzum when they are (free and) honourable. O Abu Khalid! If you fear Ibn Khalid (Abd al-Rahman), then (remember that) al-Hajjaj never feared Khalid. O Abu Khalid! Neither are we a fire, nor are they gardens in which still water is seen."
