[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.

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.

ahmad:18608Asbāṭ > Muṭarrif > Abū al-Jahm > al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib

[Machine] I wander with lost camels that belonged to me during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I roam in the valleys, and when I am with a group of riders and knights, they surround my courtyard. They fetched a man, but they did not ask him anything or speak to him until they beheaded him. When they left, I asked about him and they said that he married his father's wife.

[Machine] "I wander on camels that have gone astray during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . While I was wandering in the valleys, suddenly a group of riders and horsemen approached, they circled around and took out a man. They neither asked him nor spoke to him, until they struck him and killed him. After they left, I inquired about him and they said he was married to his father's wife. Its chain of narration is sound."
