Arabic hadith text

وَعَن أنس قَالَ: غَلَا السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَعِّرْ لَنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى رَبِّي وَلَيْسَ أحد مِنْكُم يطلبنني بمظلة بِدَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ

Anas reported: Prices rose in the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and people said: ‘Messenger of Allah, set prices for us.’ He replied: ‘Allah is the One who sets prices, withholds, expands, and provides. I hope to meet my Lord with none of you seeking me for an injustice involving blood or property.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi transmitted it. Its listed grading is sahih (al-Albani).

  • يطلبنني بمظلة بِدَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ

    The word مظلة is unexpected here; the sense and common wording suggest مظلمة, an injustice or grievance concerning blood or property.

    Is مظلة a source typo for مظلمة? The translation follows the contextual reading and flags the spelling.
