ahmad:16613Yūnus > Abū ʿAwānah > al-Ashʿath b. Sulaym from his father > a man from Banī Yarbūʿ

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and heard him speaking to the people, saying, "The one who gives the highest is your mother, then your father, then your sister, and then your brother. Then the closest to you." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the children of Tha'alabah ibn Yarbu' who harmed so and so." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shouldn't one refrain from harming another?"  

أحمد:١٦٦١٣حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي يَرْبُوعٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُ يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ فَأَدْنَاكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ الَّذِينَ أَصَابُوا فُلَانًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى أُخْرَى

[Machine] I came to the Prophet, ﷺ , while he was giving a sermon, and he said, "The hand of the giver is raised high over your mother and father and sister and brother, and the closest to you is the closest to you." Then a group from the tribe of Tha'alabah ibn Yarbu' entered, and a man from the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the Tha'alabah who killed so and so." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Do not let one soul be avenged upon another twice."

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is the one that gives to your mother, father, sister, and brother, and then to the closest one and the next closest one." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, are these the children of Yarbu killed by so-and-so?" He said, "No, do not let one soul take revenge on another soul."

[Machine] I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon saying, "The hand of the giver is superior. Your mother and father, then your sister and brother, then your close relatives, and then your close relatives." Then, some people from the Banu Yarbua came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people of Banu Yarbua have killed so-and-so." He said, "One life should not be avenged by another."

So a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, those are the Bani Tha'laba ibn Yarbu'a who harmed so-and-so in the pre-Islamic era." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, "No soul should bear the burden of another."

[Machine] We arrived to the Prophet ﷺ a group of people from the tribe of Tamim and we approached him while he was saying, "The hand of the giver is superior, begin with those that you are responsible for, your mother, your father, your sister and your brother, then the closest ones after them." Then a man from the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba ibn Yarbua who harmed so-and-so in the pre-Islamic period." So, the Prophet ﷺ raised his voice and said, "Does one soul bear the burden of another soul?"
