Sahih al-Bukhari 2827
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ بِخَيْبَرَ بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحُوهَا، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْهِمْ لِي. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ بَنِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ لاَ تُسْهِمْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا قَاتِلُ ابْنِ قَوْقَلٍ. فَقَالَ ابْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَاعَجَبًا لِوَبْرٍ تَدَلَّى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَدُومِ ضَأْنٍ، يَنْعَى عَلَىَّ قَتْلَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَىَّ وَلَمْ يُهِنِّي عَلَى يَدَيْهِ. قَالَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَسْهَمَ لَهُ أَمْ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ لَهُ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّعِيدِيُّ عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ.
Al-Humaydi narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us; al-Zuhri narrated to us, who said: ʿAnbasa ibn Saʿid informed me, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah at Khaybar after it had been conquered and said, “Messenger of Allah, allot me a share.” One of the sons of Saʿid ibn al-ʿAs said, “Do not allot him a share, Messenger of Allah.” Abu Hurayra said, “This is the killer of Ibn Qawqal.” The son of Saʿid ibn al-ʿAs replied, “How astonishing: a wabr, descended upon us from a sheep’s mountain, reproaches me for killing a Muslim whom Allah honored at my hands, while He did not let me be humiliated at his hands.”
Abu Hurayra said: I do not know whether the Prophet allotted him a share or not. Sufyan said: al-Saʿidi also narrated it to me, from his grandfather, from Abu Hurayra. Abu ʿAbd Allah said: al-Saʿidi was ʿAmr ibn Yahya ibn Saʿid ibn ʿAmr ibn Saʿid ibn al-ʿAs.
Translation notes
The Arabic uses a taunting comparison “wabr descended from a sheep’s mountain”; wabr is retained rather than assigning a specific animal identification.
