(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
هَاشِمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : حدثنا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَبِي الْحَارِثُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ مِنْ أُمُرِ مَكَّةَ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ : فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُ عُثْمَانَ بِالنُّزُلِ بِقُدَيْدٍ ، فَاصْطَادَ أَهْلُ الْمَاءِ حَجَلًا ، فَطَبَخْنَاهُ بِمَاءٍ وَمِلْحٍ ، فَجَعَلْنَاهُ عُرَاقًا لِلثَّرِيدِ ، فَقَدَّمْنَاهُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَأَمْسَكُوا ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : صَيْدٌ لَمْ أَصْطَدْهُ ، وَلَمْ نآمُرْ بِصَيْدِهِ ، اصْطَادَهُ قَوْمٌ حِلٌّ فَأَطْعَمُونَاهُ ، فَمَا بَأْسٌ ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ مَنْ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا ؟ فَقَالُوا : عَلِيٌّ ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَجَاءَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ حِينَ جَاءَ وَهُوَ يَحُتُّ الْخَبَطَ عَنْ كَفَّيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ : صَيْدٌ لَمْ نَصْطَدْهُ وَلَمْ نَأْمُرْ بِصَيْدِهِ ، اصْطَادَهُ قَوْمٌ حِلٌّ ، فَأَطْعَمُونَاهُ ، فَمَا بَأْسٌ ؟ قَالَ : فَغَضِبَ
عَلِيٌّ ، وَقَالَ : أَنْشُدُ اللَّهَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُتِيَ بِقَائِمَةِ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّا قَوْمٌ حُرُمٌ ، فَأَطْعِمُوهُ أَهْلَ الْحِلِّ " ، قَالَ : فَشَهِدَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُتِيَ بِبَيْضِ النَّعَامِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّا قَوْمٌ حُرُمٌ ، أَطْعِمُوهُ أَهْلَ الْحِلِّ " ، قَالَ : فَشَهِدَ دُونَهُمْ مِنَ الْعِدَّةِ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ، قَالَ : فَثَنَى عُثْمَانُ وَرِكَهُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ ، فَدَخَلَ رَحْلَهُ ، وَأَكَلَ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامَ أَهْلُ الْمَاءِ .
Abdullah bin Al-Harith narrates that during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), my father Harith held a position in Makkah Mukarramah. Once, Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Makkah Mukarramah, and—as Abdullah bin Al-Harith says—I welcomed him at the encampment of a place called Qudayd. The people of Ma’ caught a horse, we cooked it with water and salt, separated its meat from the bones, and prepared tharid from it. After that, we presented the food before Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions, but his companions did not reach out for it. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Neither did I hunt this animal, nor did I order it to be hunted. A non-Muhrim group hunted it and they are presenting it before us, so what is the harm in it? Who says it is unlawful?” People mentioned the name of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for him. Abdullah bin Al-Harith says: The scene is still vivid before my eyes that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was coming, dusting off his hands. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said the same to him: “Neither did we hunt it, nor did we order it to be hunted. A non-Muhrim group hunted it and presented it before us to eat, so what is the harm in it?” Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed some hesitation and said: “I make everyone who was present at that occasion with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) swear, when the leg of a wild donkey was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: ‘We are in the state of Ihram, feed this to the people of Hil (non-Muhrim)?’ Is it so or not?” At this, twelve companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and confirmed Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “When ostrich eggs were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I make all the companions present at that occasion swear, did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: ‘We are in the state of Ihram, feed this to the non-Muhrim people?’” At this, twelve other companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stood up. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) got up from the dining mat and went to his tent, and the people of Ma’ ate that food.
