[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I encountered the enemy and found my father among them. I heard from him a terrible statement, and I could not bear it, so I stabbed him with a spear or killed him." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent about it. Then another person came and said, "I encountered my father, but I left him and preferred someone else to take care of him." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent about him as well. This is a good message.
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ الْعَدُوَّ وَلَقِيتُ أَبِي فِيهِمْ فَسَمِعْتُ لَكَ مِنْهُ مَقَالَةً قَبِيحَةً فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى طَعَنْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ أَوْ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ أَبِي فَتَرَكْتُهُ وَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَلِيَهُ غَيْرِي فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ وَهَذَا مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ
