Hadith of al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 18610 — Hadith of al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ ، عَن أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : لَقِيتُ خَالِي مَعَهُ رَايَةٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ ؟ قَالَ : " بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ ، تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَقْتُلَهُ ، وَنَأْخُذَ مَالَهُ " . قَالَ : فَفَعَلُوا . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : مَا حَدَّثَ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَبْدِ الْغَفَّارِ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لِعِلَّتِهِ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I met my maternal uncle who had a flag with him. I asked him, “Where are you intending to go?” He replied, “The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent me to a man who, after his father’s death, has married his father’s wife (stepmother), and he has commanded me to behead him and seize his wealth.” So he did exactly that.
