[Machine] "He set out with his companion to visit the Prophet ﷺ but they could not find him. Aisha then provided them with dates and porridge. Soon after, the Prophet ﷺ arrived, disheveled and he asked if they had been fed. They replied in the affirmative. The Prophet ﷺ then asked them about prayer. He said, 'Perform your ablution properly, separate your fingers during washing, and when you rinse your nose, do so forcefully, except if you are fasting.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who is too brief in her garment.' He said, 'Divorce her.' I said, 'She has companions and children.' He said, 'Advise her, and if there is any good in her, she will adhere to it. And do not beat your wife as you would beat your slave.' While we were discussing, a shepherd came and pushed his flock towards us. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Did you give birth?' He replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What did you get?' He said, 'A male.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What kind?' The shepherd said, 'A healthy one.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Slaughter a sheep in its place.' Then he approached me and said, 'Do not assume that I did not say 'do not assume.' We slaughtered it for your sake, and we have a hundred sheep which we do not want to multiply.' When the shepherd gave birth to another healthy sheep, he ordered us to slaughter it in its place."

[Machine] "I and my friend set off until we reached the Messenger of Allah, but we did not find him. Aisha then fed us dates and gave us a dish of porridge. When the Prophet came, he was wiping off his sweat. He asked us, 'Have you been fed?' We replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' While we were in this state, a shepherd passed by with a sheep under his arm. The Prophet asked, 'Has it given birth?' The shepherd replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet said, 'Slaughter a sheep for us.' Then he approached us and said, 'Do not assume that we have not slaughtered the sheep for you. We have a hundred sheep, and we do not desire any increase. When the shepherd gives birth to a male sheep, he is commanded to slaughter it.' The shepherd asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me about wudu.' The Prophet said, 'When you perform ablution, wash your limbs thoroughly and rub in between your fingers. When you perform istinja, cleanse yourself thoroughly unless you are fasting.' The shepherd said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who talks excessively and behaves improperly.' The Prophet said, 'Divorce her.' The shepherd said, 'O Messenger of Allah, she has companionship and children.' The Prophet said, 'Keep her and instruct her to do good. If there is goodness in her, she will do it. And do not strike your wife like a slave or servant.'"

I was the leader of the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq or (the narrator doubted) I was among the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we reached the Prophet, we did not find him in his house. We found there Aisha, the Mother of the Believers. She ordered that a dish called Khazirah should be prepared for us. It was then prepared. A tray containing dates was then presented to us. (The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the word qina', tray). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. He asked: Has anything been served to you or ordered for you? We replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah. While we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we suddenly saw that a shepherd was driving a herd of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was crying. He (the Prophet) asked him: What did it bear, O so and so? He replied: A ewe. He then said: Slaughter for us in its place a sheep. Do not think that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we do not want their number to increase. Whenever a ewe is born, we slaughter a sheep in its place. (The narrator says that the Prophet ﷺ used the word la tahsabanna, do not think). I (the narrator Laqit) then said: Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e. she is insolent. He said: Then divorce her. I said: Messenger of Allah, she had company with me and I have children from her. He said: Then ask her (to obey you). If there is something good in her, she will do so (obey); and do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl. I said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Perform ablution in full and make the fingers go through the beard and snuff with water well except when you are fasting. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 142)

[Machine] I was in the delegation of Banu Al-Muntafiq. While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a shepherd raised his flock of sheep to the pasture. Suddenly, one of them ran away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What did it give birth to?" The shepherd replied, "A healthy lamb." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Slaughter a sheep in its place." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not think that it is due to shortage or that it is an obligation for us to slaughter it. We slaughter a sheep in its place every time the shepherd gives birth to a healthy lamb." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who uses bad words." He said, "Then divorce her." I said, "But she is my companion, and I have children with her." He said, "Advise her with kind words, perhaps she will understand, and do not harm her like she harms you." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution." He said, "When you perform ablution, perform it thoroughly, separate your fingers, and sniff water well unless you are fasting."
