"يَا أيُّهَا النَّاسُ: تَعَلَّمُوا فَإِنمَا الأيْدِى ثَلاثَةٌ: فَيَدُ اللهِ العُليَا، وَيَدُ المُعْطِى الوُسْطَى، وَيَدُ المُعْطَى السُّفْلَى، فتعففوا وَلَوْ بِحَزْم الحَطَبِ، ألا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ ألا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ".
[Machine] He met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during one of his journeys, and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I had two wives who fought each other, so I struck one of them and killed her." He (the Prophet) said, "Control yourself and do not inherit her." It was as if I could see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a sturdy red camel, saying, "O people, learn! Indeed, there are only three types of hands: the highest hand of Allah, the giving hand in the middle, and the receiving hand at the bottom. So be content, even with the bundles of firewood. Have I conveyed the message? Have I conveyed the message?"
أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَتْ لِيَ امْرَأَتَانِ فَاقْتَتَلَتَا فَرَمَيْتُ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَتَلْتُهَا فَقَالَ «اعْقِلْهَا وَلَا تَرِثْها» فَكَأَنِّي أنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ جَدْعَاءَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَعَلَّمُوا فَإِنَّمَا الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْوُسْطَى وَيَدُ الْمُعْطَى السُّفْلَى فَتَعَفَّفُوا وَلَوْ بِحُزَمِ الْحَطَبِ أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ»
