Bayhaqi 12132 — Picking up a foundling, and that it may not be left

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، ثنا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، ثنا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ، عَنْ فِيلِ بْنِ عَرَادَةَ، عَنْ حِرَادِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ قَالَ: جِئْتُ أَوْ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي السُّوقِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ صَبِيٍّ مَوْلُودٍ يَبْكِي حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أُمُّهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: " مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ " قَالَتْ: جِئْتُ إِلَى هَذَا السُّوقِ لِبَعْضِ الْحَاجَةِ، فَعَرَضَ لِيَ الْمَخَاضُ، فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا، قَالَ: وَهِيَ إِلَى جَنْبِ دَارِ قَوْمٍ فِي السُّوقِ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ شَعَرَ بِكِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ؟ " وَقَالَ: " مَا ضَيَّعَ اللهُ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ، أَمَا أَنِّي لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمْ شَعَرُوا بِكِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكِ فَعَلْتُ بِهِمْ وَفَعَلْتُ "، ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهَا بِشَرْبَةِ سَوِيقٍ فَقَالَ: " اشْرَبِي هَذِهِ تَقْطَعُ الْحَشَا، وَتَعْصِمُ الْأَمْعَاءَ، وَتُدِرُّ الْعُرُوقَ " ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ⦗٣٣٢⦘ قَالَ الصَّعْقُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ عَنْ فِيلٍ قَالَ: وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمْ شَعَرُوا بِكِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكِ بِشَيْءٍ لَحَرَّقْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ.
Hirad bin Tariq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) from the morning prayer. While he was still in the market, he heard the sound of a newborn baby crying. He stood over it and saw that its mother was beside it. He asked her: "What is your situation?" The woman said: "I came to this market for some need, and labour came upon me, and I gave birth to a boy." The narrator said: The woman was beside a house belonging to some people in the market. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did the people of this house take notice of you?" And he said: "May Allah not ruin the people of this house. If I learn that they knew of you and then gave you no help, I would deal with them." Then he called for a drink of sawiq (barley-meal water) for her and said: "Drink this; it will remove the breathing trouble, cleanse the intestines and set the veins right." Then we entered the mosque and prayed with the people.
One narration has the words: "If I knew that they had taken notice of you but gave you no benefit, I would have set fire to them."
