Narrated Husain bin Ali:
Ali bin Abi Talib said: “I got a she-camel as my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of
Badr, and Allah’s Apostle gave me another she-camel. I let both of them kneel at the door of one of
the Ansar, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it and use its price for my wedding banquet on
marrying Fatima. A goldsmith from Bam Qainqa’ was with me. Hamza bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib was in
that house drinking wine and a lady singer was reciting: “O Hamza! (Kill) the (two) fat old she
camels (and serve them to your guests).”
So Hamza took his sword and went towards the two she-camels and cut off their humps and
opened their flanks and took a part of their livers.” (I said to Ibn Shihab, “Did he take part of the
humps?” He replied, “He cut off their humps and carried them away.”) ‘Ali further said, “When I saw

that dreadful sight, I went to the Prophet and told him the news. The Prophet came out in the com –
pany of Zaid bin Haritha who was with him then, and I too went with them. He went to Hamza and
spoke harshly to him. Hamza looked up and said, ‘Aren’t you only the slaves of my forefathers?’ The
Prophet retreated and went out. This incident happened before the prohibition of drinking.”
