I set out with my father when I was a young boy, and we came across a man from al-Hajirah sitting in the shade of his house. He had two green saddlebags, abundant hair, and a reddish mark of henna on his head. My father asked me, "Do you know who this is?" I replied, "No." He said, "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then spoke to him at length. My father said to him, "I am a practitioner of medicine. Show me what is on the inside of your shoulder. If it is merchandise, I will cut it, and if it is something else, I will inform you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me and asked, "Is this your son?" My father replied, "I bear witness to it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to my father, "Look at what he is saying." My father replied, "Yes, by the Lord of the Kaaba." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then laughed at the resemblance I had to my father and his oath regarding me. He said, "O man, neither hold me accountable for him nor let him be accountable for me."
انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَأَتَيْنَا رَجُلًا مِنَ الْهَاجِرَةِ جَالِسًا فِي ظِلِّ بَيْتِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَشَعْرُهُ وَفْرَةٌ وَبِرَأْسِهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ حِنَّاءٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي أَتَدْرِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَتَحَدَّثْنَا طَوِيلًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ طِبٍّ فَأَرِنِي الَّذِي بِبَاطِنِ كَتِفِكَ فَإِنْ تَكُ سِلْعَةً قَطَعْتُهَا وَإِنْ تَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ قَالَ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِي خَلَقَهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُكَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ انْظُرْ مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِشَبَهِي بِأَبِي وَلِحَلِفِ أَبِي عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا هَذَا لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ
