Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَصَبْتُ عَمِّي وَمَعَهُ رَايَةٌ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ فَقَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رَجُلٍ نَكَحَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَآخُذَ مَالَهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: Abd Allah ibn Ja'far narrated to us; he said: Ubayd Allah ibn Amr narrated to us, from Zayd, from Adi ibn Thabit, from Yazid ibn al-Bara', from his father, who said: I came upon my uncle carrying a banner. I asked, ‘Where are you going?’ He said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent me to a man who married his father’s wife, and ordered me to strike his neck and take his property.’

Translation notes
  • The report specifies two orders: execute the man and take his property. The father’s wife is his stepmother.
