English translation

4505. Abū Hurairah said: "When Makkah was conquered, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up and said: 'If anyone has a relative killed, he has two choices: He may either be given the Diyah, or he may retaliate.' A man from Yemen, who was called Abū Shāh, stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, write it for me.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Write (it) for Abū Shāh.'" This is the wording of the of Ahmad.[1] (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: "Write it for me," meaning, the Khutbah of the Prophet ﷺ.

4505 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ: إِمَّا أَنْ يُودَى، أَوْ يُقَادَ "، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو شَاةٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اكْتُبْ لِي، قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: اكْتُبُوا لِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاةٍ» وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «اكْتُبُوا لِي يَعْنِي خُطْبَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
