Sunan an-Nasa'i 2466
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ كِدْتُ أُقْتَلُ بَعْدَكَ فِي عَنَاقٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ . فَقَالَ " لَوْلاَ أَنَّهَا تُعْطَى فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ مَا أَخَذْتُهَا " .
Amr ibn Mansur and Mahmud ibn Ghaylan reported: Abu Nuaym narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn Maysarah, from Uthman ibn Abdullah ibn al-Aswad, from Abdullah ibn Hilal al-Thaqafi, who said: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: After you, I was nearly killed over a young she-goat or sheep from the alms. He said: Had it not been given to the poor among the Emigrants, I would not have taken it.
Translation notes
The man says he was nearly killed after the Prophet ﷺ over a young animal from the alms; the source does not explain the circumstances.
