4003. Narrated 'Alī رضي الله عنه: I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet ﷺ had given me another she-camel from the Khumus which Allāh had bestowed on him that day. And when I intended to marry Fāṭima السلام, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ, I made an arrangement with a goldsmith from Banī Qainuqā' that he should go with me to bring Idhkhīr (i.e., a kind of grass used by goldsmiths) which I intended to sell to goldsmiths in order to spend its price on the marriage banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of packsaddles for my two she-camels, which were kneeling down beside an Anṣārī's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e., the people) said, "Ḥamza bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib has done it. He is present in this house with some Anṣārī drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her song, "O Ḥamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Ḥamza rushed to his sword and cut off the camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers. Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ while Zaid bin Ḥārīṭha was with him. The Prophet ﷺ noticed my state and asked, "What is the matter?" I said, "O Allāh's Messenger, I have never experienced such a day as today! Ḥamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off
their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house along with some drinkers." The Prophet ﷺ asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin Hārītha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was present. He asked the permission to enter, and he was permitted. The Prophet ﷺ started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet ﷺ then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his eyes more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet ﷺ understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards, went out and we left with him.

أَلاَ يَا حَمْزُ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ،
فَوَثَبَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، وَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي لَقِيتُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكَ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْتُ كَاليَوْمِ، عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتَيَّ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَهَا هُوَ ذَا فِي بَيْتٍ مَعَهُ شَرْبٌ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرِدَائِهِ فَارْتَدَى، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ البَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ، فَإِذَا حَمْزَةُ ثَمِلٌ، مُحْمَرَّةٌ عَيْنَاهُ، فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ: وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا عَبِيدٌ لِأَبِي، فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ ثَمِلٌ فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ القَهْقَرَى فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ
