حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ، عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ، قَالَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ النَّاقَةَ وَذَكَرَ الَّذِي عَقَرَهَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِذِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا انْبَعَثَ بِهَا رَجُلٌ عَزِيزٌ عَارِمٌ مَنِيعٌ فِي رَهْطِهِ مِثْلُ أَبِي زَمْعَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَ فِيهِنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِلاَمَ يَجْلِدُ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ‏"‏ جَلْدَ الأَمَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ ‏"‏ جَلْدَ الْعَبْدِ وَلَعَلَّهُ يُضَاجِعُهَا مِنْ آخِرِ يَوْمِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ وَعَظَهُمْ فِي ضَحِكِهِمْ مِنَ الضَّرْطَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِلاَمَ يَضْحَكُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِمَّا يَفْعَلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Abdullah ibn Zam‘ah reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and mentioned the she-camel and the man who hamstrung her. He said, ‘When their most wretched one set out to do it, he was a powerful, fierce man, well-protected among his people, like Abu Zam‘ah.’ He then spoke admonishingly about women and said, ‘Why does one of you beat his wife?’ Abu Bakr’s version says, ‘beat her as one beats a slave girl’; Abu Kurayb’s says, ‘beat her as one beats a slave, then lie with her at the end of the day.’ He then admonished them for laughing at a fart and said, ‘Why does one of you laugh at something that he himself does?’
