Hadith 2103
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي سَارَةُ بِنْتُ مِقْسَمٍ ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتَ كَرْدَمٍ ، قَالَتْ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي فِي حَجَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ أَبِي وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ ، فَوَقَفَ لَهُ وَاسْتَمَعَ مِنْهُ وَمَعَهُ دِرَّةٌ كَدِرَّةِ الْكُتَّابِ ، فَسَمِعْتُ الْأَعْرَابَ وَالنَّاسَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ : الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ ، فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ أَبِي فَأَخَذَ بِقَدَمِهِ فَأَقَرَّ لَهُ وَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَمَعَ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي حَضَرْتُ جَيْشَ عِثْرَانَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى : جَيْشَ غِثْرَانَ ، فَقَالَ طَارِقُ بْنُ الْمُرَقَّعِ : مَنْ يُعْطِينِي رُمْحًا بِثَوَابِهِ ؟ قُلْتُ : وَمَا ثَوَابُهُ ؟ قَالَ : أُزَوِّجُهُ أَوَّلَ بِنْتٍ تَكُونُ لِي ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ رُمْحِي ثُمَّ غِبْتُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ وَبَلَغَتْ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : أَهْلِي جَهِّزْهُنَّ إِلَيَّ ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ حَتَّى أُصْدِقَهُ صَدَاقًا جَدِيدًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ ، وَحَلَفْتُ لَا أُصْدِقُ غَيْرَ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَبِقَرْنِ أَيِّ النِّسَاءِ هِيَ الْيَوْمَ ؟ " قَالَ : قَدْ رَأَتِ الْقَتِيرَ ، قَالَ : أَرَى أَنْ تَتْرُكَهَا ، قَالَ : فَرَاعَنِي ذَلِكَ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنِّي ، قَالَ : " لَا تَأْثَمُ وَلَا يَأْثَمُ صَاحِبُكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : الْقَتِيرُ الشَّيْبُ .
Narrated Maymunah, daughter of Kardam: I went out along with my father during the hajj performed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My father came near him; he was riding his she-camel. He stopped there and listened to him. He had a whip like the whip of the teachers. I heard the Bedouin and the people saying: Keep away from the whip. My father came up to him. He caught hold of his foot and acknowledged him (his Prophethood). He stopped and listened to him. He then said: I participated in the army of Athran (in the pre-Islamic days). The narrator, Ibn al-Muthanna, said: Army of Gathran. Tariq ibn al-Muraqqa' said: Who will give me a lance and get a reward? I asked: What is its reward? He replied: I shall marry him to my first daughter born to me. So I gave him my lance and then disappeared from him till I knew that a daughter was born to him and she came of age. I then came to him and said: Send my wife to me. He swore that he would not do that until I fixed a dower afresh other than that agreed between me and him, and I swore that I should not give him the dower other than that I had given him before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: How old is she now? He said: She has grown old. He said: I think you should leave her. He said: This put awe and fear into me, and I looked at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he felt this in me, he said: You will not be sinful, nor will your companion be sinful. Abu Dawud said: Qatir means old age.
Hadith 2104
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ ، قَالَتْ : هِيَ مُصَدَّقَةٌ امْرَأَةُ صِدْقٍ ، قَالَتْ : بَيْنَا أَبِي فِي غَزَاةٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذْ رَمِضُوا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ يُعْطِينِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُنْكِحُهُ أَوَّلَ بِنْتٍ تُولَدُ لِي ؟ فَخَلَعَ أَبِي نَعْلَيْهِ ، فَأَلْقَاهُمَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَوُلِدَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ فَبَلَغَتْ ، وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قِصَّةَ الْقَتِيرِ .
Ibrahim bin Maisarah reported from his maternal aunt who reported on the authority of a woman called Mussaddaqah (a truthful woman). She said “In pre Islamic days, when my father participated in a battle the feet of the people burnt due to intense heat. Thereupon a man said “Who gives me his shoes, I shall marry him to my first daughter born to me. My father took off his shoes and there them before him. A girl was thereafter born to him and came of age. ” The narrator then mentioned a similar story. But he did not mention that she had grown old.
Hadith 3314
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي سَارَّةُ بِنْتُ مِقْسَمٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتَ كَرْدَمٍ ، قَالَتْ : " خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي فِي حِجَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَسَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ ، يَقُولُونَ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أُبِدُّهُ بَصَرِي ، فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ أَبِي وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ مَعَهُ دِرَّةٌ كَدِرَّةِ الْكُتَّابِ ، فَسَمِعْتُ الْأَعْرَابَ وَالنَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ : الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ ، الطَّبْطَبِيَّةَ ، فَدَنَا إِلَيْهِ أَبِي ، فَأَخَذَ بِقَدَمِهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَقَرَّ لَهُ ، وَوَقَفَ ، فَاسْتَمَعَ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ إِنْ وُلِدَ لِي وَلَدٌ ذَكَرٌ ، أَنْ أَنْحَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِ بُوَانَةَ فِي عَقَبَةٍ مِنَ الثَّنَايَا عِدَّةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ ، قَالَ : لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : خَمْسِينَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ بِهَا مِنَ الْأَوْثَانِ شَيْءٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَأَوْفِ بِمَا نَذَرْتَ بِهِ لِلَّهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَجَمَعَهَا ، فَجَعَلَ يَذْبَحُهَا ، فَانْفَلَتَتْ مِنْهَا شَاةٌ ، فَطَلَبَهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَوْفِ عَنِّي نَذْرِي ، فَظَفِرَهَا ، فَذَبَحَهَا ".
Narrated Maymunah, daughter of Kardam: I went out with my father to see the hajj performed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I fixed my eyes on him. My father came near him while he was riding his she-camel. He had a whip like the whip of scribes. I heard the bedouin and the people say: The whip, the whip. My father came near him and held his foot. She said: He admitted his Prophethood and stood and listened to him. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have made a vow that if a son is born to me, I shall slaughter a number of sheep at the end of Buwanah in the dale of hill. The narrator said: I do not know (for certain) that she said: Fifty (sheep). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Does it contain any idol? He said: No. Then he said: Fulfil your vow that you have taken for Allah. He then gathered them (i. e. the sheep) and began to slaughter them. A sheep ran away from them. He searched for it saying: O Allah, fulfil my vow on my behalf. So he succeeded (in finding it) and slaughtered it.
Hadith 3315
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ،عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا ، نَحْوَهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ : هَلْ بِهَا وَثَنٌ أَوْ عِيدٌ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قُلْتُ : إِنَّ أُمِّي هَذِهِ عَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ ، وَمَشْيٌ ، أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا ؟ ، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ : أَنَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
A similar tradition has also been transmitted in brief by Maimunah daughter of Kardam son of Sufyan on the authority of her father through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: (The Prophet asked): Does it contain an idol or was a festival of pre-Islamic times celebrated there ? He replied: No. I said: This mother of mine has taken a vow and walking (is binding on her). May I fulfill it on her behalf ? Sometimes the narrator Bashshar said: May we fulfill in on her behalf ? He said: Yes.
