English translation

1492. Rāfi' [bin Khadīj] narrated: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when the camel that belonged to some people ran away and they did not have a horse. So a man shot it with an arrow and Allāh stopped it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Of these beasts there are some that are as wild as wild animals. So if one of them does this, then treat it similarly.'" (Sahih) (Another chain) from Rāfi' bin Khadīj from the Prophet ﷺ and it is similar, but (the narrator) did not mention in it "Abāyah from his father," (a narrator in the chain) and this is more correct. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. Similarly it was reported by Shu'bah from Sa'eed bin Masrūq as in the narration of Sufyān.

١٤٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ‌رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ: «كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَدَّ» بَعِيرٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ الْقَوْمِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ خَيْلٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ اللهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا فَعَلَ مِنْهَا هَذَا فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا. ١٤٩٢ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ‌رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَبَايَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ. وَهَكَذَا رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ سُفْيَانَ.
