English translation

4779. Ibn 'Abbâs narrated that a man slandered one of his forefathers from the time of the Jâhiliyyah, and Al-'Abbâs slapped him. His people came and said: "Let him slap him as he slapped him," and they prepared for quarrel. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he ascended the Minbar and said: "O people, which of the people of the Earth do you know to be the most noble before Allâh?" They said: "You." He said: "Al-'Abbâs belongs to me and I to him. Do not defame our dead or offend our living." Those people came and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, we seek refuge with Allâh from your anger; pray to Allâh to forgive us." (Da'if)

Arabic text

4775 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَعَ فِي أَبٍ كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَطَمَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ، فَجَاءَ قَوْمُهُ فَقَالُوا: لَيَلْطِمَنَّهُ كَمَا لَطَمَهُ، فَلَبِسُوا السِّلَاحَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَيُّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ تَعْلَمُونَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؟» فَقَالُوا: أَنْتَ. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ، لَا تَسُبُّوا مَوْتَانَا، فَتُؤْذُوا أَحْيَاءَنَا» فَجَاءَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ، اسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا

Commentary

The purpose of the author (May Allâh's mercy be upon him) is to underscore that one may demand retribution in the act of slapping, because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not object upon its demand.
