حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، سُوَيْدِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي قَالَ " صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ " .
Suwayd ibn Hanzalah said, ‘We set out to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with Wa’il ibn Hujr among us. An enemy seized him, and the others hesitated to swear an oath, but I swore that he was my brother, so the man released him. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I told him that the others had been reluctant to swear and that I had sworn Wa’il was my brother. He said, “You spoke truthfully: a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim.”’
