ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَمَرَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ

ibnhibban:5742al-Ḥasan b. Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Zurārah > Ḥātim b. Ismāʿīl > Yaʿqūb b. Mujāhid Abū Ḥazrah > ʿUbādah b. al-Walīd b. ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was seeking Magdiyya bin Amr al-Juhani. The tracker was following him from among us, numbering five, six, and seven. We approached 'Uqbah, a man from the Ansar, who had a tracker with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to climb it, so he captured it, tamed it, and then sent it back. It started to kick him, and he said, "May Allah curse you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is this cursed person with his camel?" I said, O Messenger of Allah, it is me. He said, "Descend from it, do not accompany us as a cursed one. Do not invoke curses upon yourselves, your children, or your wealth. Do not pray to meet your prayers, lest He may respond to you."  

ابن حبّان:٥٧٤٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُجَاهِدٍ أَبُو حَزْرَةَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُ الْمَجْدِيَّ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْجُهَنِيَّ وَكَانَ النَّاضِحُ يَعْتَقِبُهُ مِنَّا الْخَمْسَةُ وَالسِّتَّةُ وَالسَّبْعَةُ فَدَنَا عُقْبَةُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى نَاضِحٍ لَهُ فَأَنَاخَهُ فَرَكِبَهُ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ فَتَلَدَّنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ التَّلَدُّنِ فَقَالَ شَأْ لَعَنَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ هَذَا اللَّاعِنُ بَعِيرَهُ»؟ قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «انْزِلْ عَنْهُ فَلَا تَصْحَبْنَا بِمَلْعُونٍ لَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَوْلَادِكُمْ وَلَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تُوَافِقُوا مِنَ السَّاعَةِ فَيَسْتَجِيبَ لَكُمْ»
