أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُمَا، سَحَرَتْهَا جَارِيَةٌ لَهَا فَأَقَرَّتْ بِالسِّحْرِ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَغَضِبَ، فَأَتَاهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: جَارِيَتُهَا سَحَرَتْهَا، أَقَرَّتْ بِالسِّحْرِ وَأَخْرَجَتْهُ، قَالَ: فَكَفَّ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ غَضَبُهُ لِقَتْلِهَا إِيَّاهَا بِغَيْرِ أَمْرِهِ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ السُّحَّارُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنْ كَانَ السِّحْرُ شِرْكًا، وَكَذَلِكَ أَمْرُ حَفْصَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A slave girl of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) worked sorcery on her. She confessed to it and also brought out the sorcery, and she was killed. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) learned of this, he became very angry. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came and said: "Uthman! The slave girl had worked sorcery, then she confessed and brought out her sorcery." So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) desisted. It seems that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was angry because she had been killed without his order. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that sorcerers be killed, and Allah knows best, if the sorcery was shirk; and likewise the case of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her).
