Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 5650
اُردوEn
أخبرنا أبو جعفر البَغدادي، حَدَّثَنَا أبو عُلَاثة، حَدَّثَنَا أبي، حَدَّثَنَا ابن لَهِيعة، عن أبي الأسوَد، عن عُرْوة، قال: كانت نفحةٌ من الشيطان: أن محمدًا ﷺ قد أُخِذَ، فسمع بذلك الزُّبيرُ، وهو ابن إحدى عشرةَ سنةً، فخرج بالسيفِ مَسلُولًا، حتَّى وقفَ على النَّبِيّ ﷺ، فقال: "ما شأنُك؟ " فقال: أردتُ أن أضرِبَ مَن أَخَذَكَ، فدعا له النبيُّ ﷺ ولسيفِه، وكان أولَ سيفٍ سُلَّ في سبيل الله ﷿ (1).
It is narrated from Urwah that he said: A rumour was spread by Satan that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had been seized. Al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this news, and at that time he was only eleven years old. He came out with his sword drawn until he came and stood before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with you?" He said: "I intended to strike (with this sword) whoever had seized you." At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for him and for his sword. It was the first sword drawn in the path of Allah.

(1) حديث حسن إن شاء الله، وهذا سند رجاله لا بأس بهم كما تقدم بيانه برقم (4378)، وقد روي من وجه آخر عن عروة بن الزبير، وهذا وإن كانت صورته الإرسالُ إذ لم يُدرك عروة القصة، فهو محمول على أنَّ أباه الزبير هو من حدَّثه بذلك أو هو أمرٌ معروف مشهور في آل الزبير، ورُوي مثلُه من مرسل سعيد بن المسيب كذلك، فيتقوّى الخبر إن شاء الله. أبو عُلَاثة: هو محمد بن عمرو بن خالد الحَرّاني ثم المصري، وابن لَهِيعة: هو عبد الله، وأبو الأسود هو محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن نوفل، ويُعرف بيتيم عُروة.
Grading: (1) This hadith is "hasan", if Allah wills, and this is a chain whose narrators are acceptable (la ba'sa bihim), as explained under number (4378).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): It has also been narrated by another route from 'Urwah bin al-Zubayr. Although in form it is "irsal" (i.e. it is mursal), since 'Urwah did not witness the incident, it is to be understood that his father al-Zubayr himself told him of it, or that it was a well-known and famous matter within the family of al-Zubayr. Likewise the like of it has been narrated as a "mursal" of Sa'id bin al-Musayyab, by which the report is strengthened, if Allah wills.
Note / Clarification: Abu 'Ulathah is "Muhammad bin 'Amr bin Khalid al-Harrani" (then al-Misri), Ibn Lahi'ah is "'Abdullah bin Lahi'ah", and Abu al-Aswad is "Muhammad bin 'Abd al-Rahman bin Nawfal", who is known as "Yatim 'Urwah" ('Urwah's orphan).
وأخرجه ابن عساكر في "تاريخ دمشق" 18/ 344 من طريق الليث بن سعد، عن أبي الأسود، عن عروة بن الزبير غير أنه قال: وهو ابن اثنتي عشرة سنة، وهذا أصحُّ كما تقدمت الإشارة إليه برقم (5646).
Reference / Source: Ibn 'Asakir narrated it in "Tarikh Dimashq" 18/ 344 via al-Layth bin Sa'd, from Abu al-Aswad, from 'Urwah bin al-Zubayr.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Except that in it he said: "He (al-Zubayr) was twelve (12) years old." This is more sound (asahh), as indicated under number (5646).
وأخرجه معمر في "جامعه" (20429)، وابن أبي شيبة في "مصنفه" 5/ 344 و 12/ 92، وأحمد في "فضائل الصحابة" (1266)، والفاكهي في "أخبار مكة" (2460)، وابن أبي الدنيا في "مكارم الأخلاق" (361)، وابن أبي عاصم في "الأوائل" (114)، وأبو بكر الخلال في "السنة" (740)، وأبو عَروبة الحراني في "الأوائل" (47)، والطبراني في "الأوائل" (26)، وفي "المعجم الكبير" (226)، واللالكائي في "أصول الاعتقاد" (2705)، وأبو نعيم في "حلية الأولياء" 1/ 89، وفي "معرفة الصحابة" (424)، وابن عساكر 18/ 349 - 350 من طرق عن هشام بن عروة بن الزبير، عن أبيه. دون ذكر سِنّ الزبير وقتئذٍ.
