حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ قَالَ مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالأَبْوَاءِ ـ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ ـ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ يُبَيَّتُونَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَيُصَابُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّهِمْ قَالَ " هُمْ مِنْهُمْ ". وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ " لاَ حِمَى إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " .
'Ali ibn 'Abdullah narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us; al-Zuhri narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah, from Ibn 'Abbas, from al-Sa'b ibn Jaththama (may Allah be pleased with them all), who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me at al-Abwa'—or Waddan—and was asked about the people in a settlement among the polytheists who were attacked by night, when some of their women and children might be struck as well. He said, ‘They are of them.’ I also heard him say, ‘There is no hima except for Allah and His Messenger.’
Translation notes
Hima refers to a protected reserve or pasture; the Arabic names Allah and His Messenger as the only legitimate authority for it.
وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ " لاَ حِمَى إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " .
The term hima refers to a protected reserve or pasture, while the English witness explains it as an institution.
