اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَقِيمٌ لَا يُولَدُ لَهُ، وَكَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَارِثَهُ، فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ احْتَمَلَهُ لَيْلًا حَتَّى أَتَى بِهِ حَيًّا آخَرِينَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى بَابِ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ يَدَّعِيهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى تَسَلَّحُوا وَرَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، فَقَالَ ذَوُو الرَّأْيِ وَالنَّهْيِ: عَلَى مَا يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَهَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيكُمْ، فَأَتَوْهُ، فَقَالَ: " {إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَذْبَحُوا بَقَرَةً قَالُوا أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُوًا قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ} [البقرة: ٦٧]، قَالَ: فَلَوْ لَمْ يَعْتَرِضُوا الْبَقَرَ لَأَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُمْ أَدْنَى بَقَرَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ شَدَّدُوا فَشُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الْبَقَرَةِ الَّتِي أُمِرُوا بِذَبْحِهَا، فَوَجَدُوهَا عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ بَقَرَةٌ غَيْرَهَا، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ مِلْءِ جِلْدِهَا ذَهَبًا، فَأَخَذُوهَا بِمِلْءِ جِلْدِهَا ذَهَبًا، فَذَبَحُوهَا فَضَرَبُوهُ بِبَعْضِهَا، فَقَامَ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ قَتَلَكَ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا، لِابْنِ أَخِيهِ، ثُمَّ مَالَ مَيِّتًا، فَلَمْ يُعْطَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا، وَلَمْ يُوَرَّثْ قَاتِلٌ بَعْدَهُ ".
Ubaydah al-Salmani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Among the Children of Israel there was a barren man who had no children, and he had a great deal of wealth, and his nephew was his heir. The nephew killed him, carried the body at night and left it at the door of a man of another clan. Then in the morning he made a claim against them, until they took up arms for battle and began riding out against one another. A man of sound judgement said: Why are you about to kill one another, when the Messenger of Allah is among you? So that messenger said: "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow" [Surah al-Baqarah: 67]. They said: "Are you making a mockery of us?" [Surah al-Baqarah: 67]. He said: "I seek refuge with Allah from being among the ignorant" [Surah al-Baqarah: 67]. Had they not raised objections about the cow, even the most ordinary cow would have been sufficient for them; but they were strict, so strictness was imposed on them, until they came to the very cow they had been commanded to slaughter. They found it with a man who had no cow other than it. He said: I will not take anything less than its skin filled (with gold). So they took the cow for its skin filled with gold and slaughtered it, and they struck the dead man with part of it, and he stood up. They asked: Who killed you? He said: My nephew. Then he fell dead again. So his nephew was given nothing from his wealth, and no killer was made an heir after him.
