[5127] 1 - (1979) It was narrated from Ibn Jurairj (who said): "Ibn Shihâb narrated to me, from 'Alî bin Al-Husain bin 'Alî, from his father Husain bin 'Alî, from 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib who said: "I got an old she-camel from the spoils of war on the Day of Badr, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave me another she-camel. I made them kneel at the door of a man from among the Anshâr, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it - and there was a goldsmith of Banû Qainuqâ' with me - so that I could use the money to give a wedding feast for my marriage to Fâtimah. Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib was drinking in that house, and there was a singing-girl with him who said:
'O Hamzah, get up and slaughter the fat she-camels.'
So Hamzah attacked them with his sword, cutting off their humps and cutting open their flanks, then he took out their livers."
I said to Ibn Shihâb: "Did he take out anything from their humps?" He said: "He cut off their humps and took them away." Ibn Shihâb said: "Alî said: 'I looked at a sight that shocked me. I went to the Prophet ﷺ, and Zaid bin Hârithah was with him, and I told him what had happened. He went out, accompanied by Zaid, and I went with him. He entered upon Hamzah and expressed his anger to him. Hamzah looked up and said: "Are you anything more than the slaves of my forefathers?" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ backed off until he departed from them.'"
