We went out intending (to visit) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Wa'il ibn Hujr was with us. His enemy caught him. The people desisted from swearing an oath, but I took an oath that he was my brother. So he left him. We then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I informed him that the people desisted from taking the oath, but I swore that he was my brother. He said: You spoke the truth: A Muslim is a brother of a Muslim.  

خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي قَالَ صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ  

"We went out looking for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Wa'il bin Hujr was with us. An enemy of his seized him and the people were reluctant to swear an oath but I swore that he was my brother, so they set him free. We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I told him that the people had been reluctant to swear an oath, but I had sworn that he was my brother. He said: 'You told the truth. The Muslim is the brother of his fellow Muslim.' "  

خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا فَحَلَفْتُ أَنَا أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَا أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ

خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا فَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّوْا سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ «صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with Wael ibn Hujr, and we met a group of people who were his enemies. The people refused to swear an oath, so I stepped forward and swore that Wael was my brother. When we came to the Prophet ﷺ , I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people refused to swear an oath, and I stepped forward and swore that he is my brother." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have spoken the truth. A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim." This is the narration of Uthman ibn Umair and the narration of Zubayri in a summarized form.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَلَقِيَهُ قَوْمٌ هُمْ لَهُ عَدُوٌّ فَأَبَى الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَتَقَدَّمْتُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَتَقَدَّمْتُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي قَالَ صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَحَدِيثِ الزُّبَيْرِيِّ بِمَعْنَاهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ
