Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عُمَيْرٍ مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ خَيْبَر مَعَ ساداتي فَكَلَّمُوا فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَلَّمُوهُ أَنِّي مَمْلُوكٌ فَأَمَرَنِي فَقُلِّدْتُ سَيْفًا فَإِذَا أَنَا أَجُرُّهُ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ وَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ رُقْيَةً كَنْتُ أَرْقِي بِهَا الْمَجَانِينَ فَأَمَرَنِي بِطَرْحِ بَعْضِهَا وَحَبْسِ بَعْضِهَا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ إِلَّا أَنَّ رِوَايَتَهُ انتهتْ عِنْد قَوْله: الْمَتَاع

ʿUmayr, the client of Abi al-Lahm, reported: I attended Khaybar with my masters. They spoke to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) about me, telling him that I was enslaved. He ordered that a sword be given to me, and I found myself dragging it. He then allotted me some inferior baggage. I presented to him an incantation that I used to recite for the possessed, and he instructed me to discard some of it and keep some. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud, though Abu Dawud’s version ends at ‘baggage.’

  • The source's term for the allotted baggage is obscure and is rendered as inferior baggage; the report's ending in Abu Dawud is specified.
