English

[5127] 1 – (1979) It was narrated from Ibn Jurairj (who said): "Ibn Shihâb narrated to me, from 'Ali bin Al-Husain bin 'All, from his father Husain bin 'All, from 'All bin AbI Tâlib who said: "I got an old she-camel from the spoils of war on the Day of Badr, and the Messenger of Allah gave me another she- camel. I made them kneel at the door of a man from among the Ansâr, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it – and there was a goldsmith of Banü Qainuqâ' with me – so that I could use the money to give a wedding feast for my marriage to Fâtimah. Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib was drinking in that house, and there was a singing-girl with him who said: '0 Hamzah, get up and slaughter the fat she-camels.' So Hamzah attacked them with his sword, cutting off their humps and cutting open their flanks, then he took out their livers." I said to Ibn Shihâb: "Did he take out anything from their humps?" He said: "He cut off their humps and took them away." Ibn Shihâb said: "Ali said: 'I looked at a sight that shocked me. I went to the Prophet , and Zaid bin Hârithah was with him, and I told him what had happened. He went out, accompanied by Zaid, and I went with him. He entered upon Hamzah and expressed his anger to him. IIamzah looked up and said: "Are you anything more than the slaves of my forefathers?" The Messenger of Allah backed off until he departed from them."
