English translation

3256. It was narrated from Ibrāhīm bin ‘Abdul-‘A‘la, from his grandmother, that her father Suwaid bin Hanzalah said: “We set out intending to visit the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Wā’il bin Hujr was with us. An enemy of his caught him, and the people were reluctant to swear an oath, but I swore that he was my brother, so he let him go. We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and I told him that the people had been reluctant to swear an oath, but I had sworn that he was my brother. He said: ‘You spoke the truth; a Muslim is the brother of the Muslim.’” (Hasan)

3256 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا سُوَيْدِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا، وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا، وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي، قَالَ: «صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ»
