٤٥۔ كِتَابُ الظِّهَارِ
[Machine] It is narrated that Salamah ibn Sakhr al-Bayadi made a condition with his wife that she would be like his mother's back to him, meaning he would not approach her intimately, until Ramadan passed. When half of Ramadan had passed, his wife gained weight and became beautiful to him, so he approached her intimately one night. Afterwards, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned what had happened to him. The Prophet advised him to set a slave free, but Salamah replied that he did not have one. The Prophet then advised him to fast for two consecutive months, but Salamah said he was unable to. The Prophet then advised him to feed sixty poor people, but Salamah said he could not find that many. Finally, the Prophet brought a container filled with dates, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen saa' (a type of measurement), and told him to give it as charity to sixty poor people.
أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الْبَيَاضِيِّ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ إِنْ غَشِيَهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا مَضَى النِّصْفُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ سَمُنَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَتَرَبَّعَتْ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَغَشِيَهَا لَيْلًا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُ فَقَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا أَوْ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: Salama bin Al-Akwa' used to tie his wife or sister with his Dhihir (upper garment) during the period of Ramaḍān. Then he brought her to the Prophet ﷺ while she was shy. He said, "Do you tie her?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "Amaḥlu" (untie her). So he untied her and ordered her to spend the night with him. He then brought a ḍirham and a ṭarq (a measure of dates) and told him, "Give this to the poor people". So the narrator did not refuse, rather, he took them and kept silent about that.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ مِكْتَلًا فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ أَطْعِمْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَذَلِكَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدًّا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُؤَمَّلِ أنا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ نا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ نا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاهَوَيْهِ أنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ نا شَيْبَانُ النَّحْوِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ 15279 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ نا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ نا أَبَانُ نا يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْعَرَقَ زِنْبِيلٌ يَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا 15280 وَرُوِيَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ صَخْرٍ الْبَيَاضِيَّ جَعَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ رَمَضَانُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ اذْهَبْ وَأَطْعِمْ هَذَا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ بْنِ شَبِيبٍ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحَرْبِيُّ نا الْهِقْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهُوَ خَطَأٌ الْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ يَحْيَى مُرْسَلٌ دُونَ ذِكْرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِيهِ
[Machine] I was a man who had been given something from the other women that no one else had been given. When Ramadan came, I appeared from my wife fearful that I would be affected by her during the night. I continued in this state and couldn't release until dawn caught up with me. While she was with me one night, something was exposed to me from her and I jumped on her. When I woke up in the morning, I went to my people and told them my news. I said, "Come with me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." They said, "No, by Allah, we will not go with you for fear that something from the Qur'an will be revealed in us and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say something about us that would remain our disgrace." So you go and do what seems right for you." So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him my news. He said, "You are that person?" I said, "Yes, I am that person, so decide in my matter according to the judgment of Allah, for I am patient and hoping. So I have freed a slave." I struck my neck with my hand and said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not possess anything else besides it." He said, "Fast for two consecutive months." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, have I only been afflicted with what I have been afflicted with in fasting?" He said, "Then feed sixty poor people." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, we spent this night of ours in a terrible condition, and we couldn't find anything for dinner." He said, "Go to the person who gave charity from the Banu Zurayq and let him give you something from his dates, so you may feed sixty poor people with it and seek his assistance for your family." So I went to my people and said, "I found difficulty with you. It was narrated to me from this source from Sulayman bin Yasir. And Abu Abdullah Rahman As-Salami allowed me to narrate it with a chain that is similar to this one. He told us that Abu Hassan bin Subayh informed them that I am Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Shirawayh, I am Ishaq al-Hanzali, I am Abdullah bin Idris, I am Muhammad bin Ishaq. He mentioned his chain of narration like this and said at the end, "Go to the person who gave charity from the Banu Zurayq and let him give you something from his dates so you may feed sixty poor people with it, and eat the rest, meaning the leftover dates." This narration indicates that he gives sixty poor people from the dates, and then he eats the rest of the dates. It also indicates what was narrated to us by Abu Ali Ar-Rudbahri, that Abu Bakr bin Dasa told them, Abu Dawood told them, Ibn As-Sarh told them, Ibn Wahb told them, Ibn Lahiah told them, and Amr bin Al-Harith told them, from Bukayr bin Al-Ashajj, from Sulayman bin Yasir, with this narration, who said, "The Prophet ﷺ was given dates, about fifteen Sa's. So he said, 'Give charity with this.' So he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there anyone poorer than me and my family?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You and your family eat from it.' This narration agrees with the narration of Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman and Ibn Thawban in the story of Salamah bin Sakhr, and it is stronger. As for the Hadith of Aus bin As-Samit, the narrations differ regarding it.
كُنْتُ امْرَأً قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مِنْ جِمَاعِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتَ غَيْرِي فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَتَتَابَعُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْزِلَ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَنِيَ الصُّبْحُ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ بِحِيَالٍ مِنِّي إِذَا انْكَشَفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي فَقُلْتُ انْطَلِقُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ نَخَافُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِينَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَيَقُولُ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَةً يَبْقَى عَلَيْنَا عَارُهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرِي فَقَالَ أَنْتَ ذَاكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا ذَاكَ فَاقْضِ فِيَّ حُكْمَ اللهِ فَإِنِّي صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَ عُنُقِ رَقَبَتِي بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي مَا أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا فِي الصِّيَامِ؟ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ وَحْشًا مَا نَجِدُ عَشَاءً قَالَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَطْعِمْ مِنْهَا وَسْقًا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَتَسْتَعِينُ بِسَائِرِهَا عَلَى عِيَالِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ قَوْمِي فَقُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ كَذَا رُوِيَ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ 15282 وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِيهِ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ إِجَازَةً أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ بْنَ صُبَيْحٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شِيرَوَيْهِ أنا إِسْحَاقُ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْ إِلَيْكَ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَكُلْ بَقِيَّتَهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يُعْطِي مِنَ الْوَسْقِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ بَقِيَّتَهُ يَعْنِي بَقِيَّةَ الْوَسْقِ 15283 وَيَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ نا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِتَمْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَهْلِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلْ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ فَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ مُوَافِقَةٌ لِرِوَايَةِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ فِي قِصَّةِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ فَهِيَ أَوْلَى وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ أَوْسِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَةُ فِيهِ
[Machine] From me is my husband Aus bin As-Saamit, so I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to complain to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ argued with me about it and said, "Fear Allah, for he is your husband and your cousin." I did not leave until the Quran was revealed, "Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband" [Al-Mujadila: 1]. He said, "He should either free a slave." She said, "He does not have anything to give as charity." He said, "Then let him fast for two consecutive months." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is an old man and not capable of fasting." He said, "Then let him feed sixty poor persons." I said, "He does not have anything to give as charity." He said, "I will help him with a basket of dates." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will also help him with another basket." He said, "You have done well. Go and feed sixty poor persons with it, and return to your cousin." He said, "The basket contained sixty Sa'a." Abu 'Ali Ar-Rudbary said, "I am Abu Bakr bin Daasah. Abu Dawud narrated to us that Hasan bin Ali narrated to him from Abdul Aziz bin Yahya Al-Harani, from Muhammad bin Salamah, from Ibn Ishaq with this chain of narrators, except that he said, 'The basket contained thirty Sa'a." Abu Dawud said, "This is more correct than the Hadith of Yahya bin Adam." Abu Ali narrated to us, from Abu Bakr, from Abu Dawud, who said, "I read to Ibn Wazeer in Egypt. Bishr bin Bakr narrated to us, from Al-Awza'i, from Ata, from Aws bin Ubada, who mentioned the story of the emancipation of a slave and said, 'Khawilah said, "What would be the use of it by us, by Allah, nobody would serve him except me." He said, "But he does not have anything." He said, "Then let him fast for two consecutive months." She said, "By Allah, if he would not drink three times a day, his vision would be impaired." He said, "Then let him feed sixty poor persons." She said, "From where should we bring food like that?" The Prophet ﷺ called for half a Sa'a of dates, which is thirty Sa'a. He said, "Let him feed sixty poor persons with it and let him return it to you like this."

[Machine] You are on my mother's back, if I stepped on you, then the Prophet ﷺ was told about it, and he did not say anything to him. Then she came to him again and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have that, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I cannot do that." He said, "Then feed sixty poor people thirty units of food." He said, "I do not have that, O Messenger of Allah, unless you assist me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ helped him with fifteen units of food, and the people helped him until he reached thirty units of food. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Feed sixty poor people." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is no one poorer than me and my family." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Take it for yourself and your family," so he took it.
أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي إِنْ أَنَا وَطِئْتُكِ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ أَتَتْهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ صُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا ثَلَاثِينَ صَاعًا قَالَ لَسْتُ أَمْلِكُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُعِينَنِي قَالَ فَأَعَانَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا وَأَعَانَهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ثَلَاثِينَ صَاعًا وَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَحَدٌ أَفْقَرُ إليه مِنِّي وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذْهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُكَ فَأَخَذَهُ كَذَا
[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have been destroyed." He said, "What happened to you?" He replied, "I fell upon my family on a day in the month of Ramadan." He said, "Free a slave." He said, "I cannot find one." He said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I am unable to do so." He said, "Then feed sixty poor people." He said, "I cannot find them." He said, "Then bring a basket filled with dates." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take it and give it in charity." He said, "To someone poorer than my family? By Allah, there is no one in Medina poorer than us." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molar teeth showed and said, "Take it and seek forgiveness from Allah and feed your family with it."
قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ مَا أَجِدُهَا قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَوَاللهِ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَحْوَجُ مِنْ أَهْلِي قَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ خُذْهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَأَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib narrated that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have committed adultery with my wife during Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Free a slave." The man replied, "I do not have the means to do so." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." The man said, "I cannot do that either." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor people." The man replied, "I cannot find them." Then, someone brought a container filled with dates, amounting to fifteen sa' (a measurement unit) of dates, which was equivalent to sixty-four quarters of dates. The Prophet ﷺ gave it to the man and said, "Feed sixty poor people with this." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are people between us who are more in need of it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and feed your family with it. This is a confirmation of the connected narration, and this narration is more reliable than the narration of 'Ata' al-Khurasani from Ibn al-Musayyib with doubt in fifteen or twenty. Likewise, it has been narrated from Ibrahim ibn 'Amir from Ibn al-Musayyib with certainty in fifteen. And if Allah wills, it will be narrated in the book of oaths and traditions from the companions about the permissibility of giving a handful of food as charity to each poor person. And Allah is the Guide."
