while I was wandering in search of my camels which had strayed, a caravan or some horsemen carrying a standard came forward. The bedouin began to go round me for my position with the Prophet ﷺ. They came to a domed structure, took out a man from it, and struck his neck. I asked about him. They told me that he had married his father's wife.  

أبو داود:٤٤٥٦حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

بَيْنَا أَنَا أَطُوفُ عَلَى إِبِلٍ لِي ضَلَّتْ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَكْبٌ أَوْ فَوَارِسُ مَعَهُمْ لِوَاءٌ فَجَعَلَ الأَعْرَابُ يُطِيفُونَ بِي لِمَنْزِلَتِي مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَوْا قُبَّةً فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا مِنْهَا رَجُلاً فَضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ أَعْرَسَ بِامْرَأَةِ أَبِيهِ

[Machine] I wander on my camel because it has gone astray, so I roam in the valleys. Suddenly, I am approached by a rider and his horsemen. The people of the water seek refuge in my dwelling and they circulate in my courtyard. They bring out a man from there, and they do not speak to him until they strike his neck. When they leave, I asked about him and they said, he married his father's wife. Correct.

[Machine] I wander around the neighborhoods, on camels, in honor of the Prophet's covenant. When I saw a group of riders and horsemen with a banner, the Bedouins sought refuge with me because of my status as a companion of the Prophet. They came to us and circled around a dome, then they brought out a man and beheaded him. They did not ask him about anything, but I asked about his story. They said they found him married to his father's wife, then they left.

[Machine] He mentioned a word that means, "I used to wander in those neighborhoods on camels because I had lost my way during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, when a group came with their flags and the Bedouins sought refuge with me because of my position as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They then brought out a man and killed him, so I asked about his story and they said, "He married his father's wife."
