3334. It was narrated from Yazīd bin Al-Barā’ that his father said: “I met my maternal uncle who was carrying a flag (for an expedition) and I said: ‘Where are you going?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is sending me to a man who has married his father’s wife, and he has commanded me to strike his neck (kill him) and seize his wealth.’”” (Sahīh)

Commentary
1. ‘A flag’ means the banner of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, which served as a sign that he had really been sent by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
2. ‘Seize his wealth’: Committing marriage with the wife of one’s father warrants capital punishment, and that his property shall be seized.
