4075. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated that there was a blind man during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who had an Umm Walad[3] by whom he had two sons. She used to slander and defame the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ a great deal, and he
would rebuke her, but she would not pay heed, and he would forbid her to do that, but she ignored him. (The blind man said) One night I mentioned the Prophet ﷺ, and she slandered him. I could not bear it so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach and leaned upon it, and killed her. In the morning she was found slain. Mention of that was made to the Prophet ﷺ and he gathered the people and said: "I adjure by Allāh; a man over whom I have the right, that he should obey me, and he did what he did, to stand up." The blind man started to tremble and said: "O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I am the one who killed her. She was my Umm Walad and she was kind and gentle toward me, and I have two sons like pearls from her, but she used to slander and defame you a great deal. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not pay heed. Finally, I mentioned your name and she slandered you, so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach, and leaned on it until I killed her. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I bear witness that her blood is permissible." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4070 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَقُودُ رَجُلًا أَعْمَى فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى عِكْرِمَةَ، فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ أَعْمَى كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ، وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنْهَا ابْنَانِ، وَكَانَتْ تُكْثِرُ الْوَقِيعَةَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَسُبُّهُ، فَيَزْجُرُهَا فَلَا تَنْزَجِرُ، وَيَنْهَاهَا فَلَا تَنْتَهِي، فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ذَكَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَقَعَتْ فِيهِ، فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ أَنْ قُمْتُ إِلَى الْمِغْوَلِ، فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَاتَّكَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلْتُهَا، فَأَصْبَحَتْ قَتِيلًا، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ وَقَالَ: «أَنْشُدُ اللَّهَ رَجُلًا لِي عَلَيْهِ حَقٌّ، فَعَلَ مَا فَعَلَ إِلَّا قَامَ» فَأَقْبَلَ الْأَعْمَى يَتَدَلْدَلُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا صَاحِبُهَا كَانَتْ أُمَّ وَلَدِي، وَكَانَتْ بِي لَطِيفَةً رَفِيقَةً، وَلِي مِنْهَا ابْنَانِ مِثْلُ اللُّؤْلُؤَتَيْنِ، وَلَكِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُكْثِرُ الْوَقِيعَةَ فِيكَ وَتَشْتُمُكَ، فَأَنْهَاهَا فَلَا تَنْتَهِي، وَأَزْجُرُهَا فَلَا تَنْزَجِرُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْبَارِحَةُ ذَكَرَتْكَ فَوَقَعَتْ فِيكَ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَى الْمِغْوَلِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَاتَّكَأْتُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا اشْهَدُوا أَنَّ دَمَهَا هَدَرٌ»
