2607. It was narrated that Barâ' bin 'Âzib said: "My maternal uncle passed by me – (one of the narrators) Hushaim named him in his narration as Hârith bin 'Amr – and the Prophet ﷺ had given him a banner to carry.[1] I said to him: 'Where are you going?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has sent me to a man who married his father's wife after he died, and has commanded me to strike his neck (i.e., execute him).'" (Sahih)
2607 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي خَالِي - سَمَّاهُ هُشَيْمٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو - وَقَدْ عَقَدَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِوَاءً، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ فَقَالَ: «بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ»
