English translation

2986. It was reported from 'Alī bin Abī Tālib who said: "I had an old she-camel that was my share of the spoils of war on the Day of Badr, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave me another old she-camel from the Khumus on that day. When I wanted to consummate my marriage to Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I made arrangements with a man who was a goldsmith from Banū Qainuqā' to go with me to collect Idhkhīr that I wanted to sell to the goldsmiths, to help pay for the wedding feast. While I was collecting the gear for my two she-camels, such as saddles, baskets and ropes, the two camels were sitting by the house of an Anṣārī man. When I had collected the things I needed, I came to my two camels and found that their humps had been cut off, their flanks slashed open and their livers removed. I could not hold back my eyes (tears) when I beheld that scene. I said: 'Who did this?' They said: 'Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib.' He is in this house drinking with some of the Anṣār, with a singing-girl, singing for him and his companions. She said in her song: "O Hamzah, go and deal with these fat she-camels," and he rushed to his sword and cut off their humps, slashed their flanks and removed their livers." 'Ali said: "I went and entered upon the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Zaid bin Hārīthah was with him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ realized from my expression that something had happened to me, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'What is the matter with you?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I have never seen anything like today. Hamzah has transgressed against my camels, cutting off their humps and slashing their flanks. He is there in a house drinking with some other people.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called for his Ridā' and put it on, then he went walking, and Zaid bin Hārīthah and I followed him, until he came to the house where Hamzah was. He asked for permission to enter, and permission was given to him, and he found them drunk. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ began to rebuke Hamzah for what he had done, and Hamzah was intoxicated and red-eyed. Hamzah looked at the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then he lifted his gaze, and looked at his knees, then he lifted his gaze, and looked at his navel, then he lifted his gaze, and looked at his face. Then Ĥamzah said: 'Aren't you no more than the slaves of my father?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ realized that he was intoxicated, so he moved backwards and left, and we left with him." (Sahih)

2986 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَعْطَانِي شَارِفًا مِنَ الخُمُسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ»، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلًا صَوَّاغًا مِنْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعٍ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي، فَنَأْتِيَ بِإِذْخِرٍ، أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ فَأَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِي، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجَمْعُ لِشَارِفَيَّ مَتَاعًا مِنَ الأَقْتَابِ وَالْغَرَائِرِ وَالْحِبَالِ، وَشَارِفَايَ مُنَاخَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، أَقْبَلْتُ حِينَ جَمَعْتُ مَا جَمَعْتُ، فَإِذَا بِشَارِفَيَّ قَدِ اجْتُبَّتْ أَسْنِمَتُهُمَا، وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصِرُهُمَا، وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَيَّ حِينَ رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ الْمَنْظَرَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَهُوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فِي شَرْبٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ غَنَّتْهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأَصْحَابَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: فِي غِنَائِهَا: [البحر الوافر] أَلَا يَا حَمْزُ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ فَوَثَبَ إِلَى السَّيْفِ فَاجْتَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، قَالَ: فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي لَقِيتُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا لَكَ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ، عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتَيَّ، فَاجْتَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَهَا هُوَ ذَا فِي بَيْتٍ مَعَهُ شَرْبٌ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرِدَائِهِ فَارْتَدَاهُ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَإِذَا هُمْ شَرْبٌ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ، فَإِذَا حَمْزَةُ، ثَمِلٌ مُحْمَرَّةٌ عَيْنَاهُ، فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى سُرَّتِهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ: وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا عَبِيدٌ لِأَبِي، فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ ثَمِلٌ فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ الْقَهْقَرَى فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ
