حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ذُؤَادُ بْنُ عُلْبَةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ هَجَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَهَجَّرْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ " . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " قُمْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شِفَاءً " . قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ذُؤَادُ بْنُ عُلْبَةَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ . يَعْنِي تَشْتَكِي بَطْنَكَ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ لأَهْلِهِ فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ .

Jaʿfar ibn Musāfir narrated to us: al-Sarī ibn Miskīn narrated to us: Dhuʾād ibn ʿAlbah narrated to us, from Layth, from Mujāhid, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet went out early, and I went out early too. I prayed, then sat down. The Prophet turned toward me and said, ‘Does your stomach hurt?’ I said, ‘Yes, Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Get up and pray, for there is healing in prayer.’
Abū al-Hasan al-Qaṭṭān said: Ibrāhīm ibn Naṣr narrated to us: Abū Salamah narrated to us: Dhuʾād ibn ʿAlbah narrated to us, and he mentioned something similar, saying that the words were, ‘Does your stomach hurt?’—that is, in Persian, ‘Your stomach is hurting.’ Abū ʿAbd Allāh said: A man told this to his family, and they sought action against him.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The phrase اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ is Persian; the Arabic narrator’s gloss says it means ‘your stomach is hurting.’ The dialogue makes it a question in the first occurrence.
The final comment فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ indicates seeking someone’s intervention or redress against him; the text does not identify whom they approached or the precise action.
قَالَ هَجَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَهَجَّرْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ " .
The phrase اشِكَمَتْ دَرْدْ is Persian, and the following Arabic explicitly glosses it as ‘your stomach is hurting’; the question form is inferred from the dialogue.
Does the Persian phrase here function as a question asking whether his stomach hurts?
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ لأَهْلِهِ فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ .
فَاسْتَعْدَوْا عَلَيْهِ indicates seeking help or redress against the man; the specific authority or action is not named.
What precise action is intended by the family seeking redress against him?
