Hadith 6406

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي نُعْمٍ , يَقُولُ : شَهِدْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ عَنْ مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ ذُبَابًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ ، تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ ذُبَابًا ! وَقَدْ قَتَلْتُمْ ابْنَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ! وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هُمَا رَيْحَانَتَايَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا " .
Once, a man from Iraq asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the ruling if a Muhrim kills a fly. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied: "These people of Iraq come to me asking about killing a fly, while the grandson of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was martyred (without anyone asking about it), even though the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about his two grandsons: 'Both of them are my sweet basils from this world.'"
