Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: أَهْدَى رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُلَامًا يُقَالُ لَهُ: مِدْعَمٌ فَبَيْنَمَا مِدْعَمٌ يَحُطُّ رَحْلًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم إِذْ أَصَابَهُ سهم عاثر فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: هَنِيئًا لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَلَّا وَالَّذِي نَفسِي بِيَدِهِ إِن الثملة الَّتِي أَخَذَهَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ لَمْ تُصِبْهَا الْمَقَاسِمُ لَتَشْتَعِلُ عَلَيْهِ نَارًا» . فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِك النَّاس جَاءَ رجل بشرك أَوْ شِرَاكَيْنِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «شِرَاكٌ مِنْ نَارٍ أَوْ شِرَاكَانِ من نارٍ»

Abu Hurayra also reported: A man gave the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) a young servant called Midʿam. While Midʿam was unpacking a saddle for the Messenger of God, a stray arrow struck and killed him. The people said, ‘May Paradise be his!’ The Messenger of God said, ‘No indeed! By Him in whose hand is my soul, the garment he took from the spoils of Khaybar before they were divided will blaze into a fire upon him.’ When the people heard this, a man brought the Prophet one or two sandal straps and said, ‘One strap of fire or two straps of fire.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source term for the item taken from Khaybar is unusual; it is rendered as a garment, following the context of the later sandal-strap example.
