حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، قَالا : نا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الأَوْزَاعِيَّ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، يُخْبِرُ أَنَّ رَجُلا أَصَابَهُ جَرْحٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ أَصَابَهُ احْتِلامٌ فَأُمِرَ بِالاغْتِسَالِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَكُزَّ فَمَاتَ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ، أَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ " . قَالَ عَطَاءٌ : فَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ وَتَرَكَ رَأْسَهُ حَيْثُ أَصَابَهُ الْجَرْحُ " .
Ata bin Abi Rabah narrates that he heard Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) saying that during the blessed time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), a man was wounded, then he had a wet dream, so he was told to perform ghusl (ritual bath). He performed ghusl and then passed away. When this was reported to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he said: "They have killed him. May Allah destroy them. Is the cure for ignorance not to ask?" The narrator named Ata states that we learned that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about this, he said: "If that man had washed his body and left the part of his head where the wound was, it would have been correct."
