قُرِئَ عَلَى أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الَّعَزِيزِ ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ حَدَّثَكُمُ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نا هِقْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَطَاءٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : إِنَّ رَجُلا أَصَابَتْهُ جِرَاحَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ ِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَاسْتَفْتَى ، فَأُفْتِيَ بِالْغُسْلِ ، فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ، أَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ ؟ " . قَالَ عَطَاءٌ : فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ بَعْدُ ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ وَتَرَكَ رَأْسَهُ حَيْثُ أَصَابَتْهُ الْجِرَاحُ أَجْزَاءَهُ " .
Ata reports: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this: A man was wounded during the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He became junub (in a state requiring ritual bath). He inquired about the ruling, so he was told that he must perform ghusl (ritual bath). He performed ghusl and then passed away. This was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: "They have killed him. May Allah destroy them. Is the cure for ignorance not in asking questions?"
