English

[5129] 2 – ( … ) Hussain bin 'All narrated that 'All said: "I had a she-camel that was my share of the spoils of war on the Day of Badr, and the Messenger of Allah had also given me a she-camel from the Khumus on that day. When I wanted to consummate my marriage to Fâtimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah , I made a deal a man who was a goldsmith from BanU Qainuqâ' to go with me so that we could bring some Idhkhir. I wanted to sell it to the goidsmiths aid use the money for my wedding feast. While I was gathering the equipment for my two she-camels, such as saddles, sacks and ropes, and my two she- camels were sitting by the door of an apartment belonging to an AnsârI man until I collected those things, my two she-camels were attacked; their humps were cut off, their flanks cut open and their livers taken out. I could not help weeping when I saw what had happened to them. I said: 'Who did this?' They said: 'Hamzah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib did it; he is in this house, drinking with some of the Ansâr, and a singing girl is singing to him and his companions. She said in her song: "0 Hamzah, get up and attack that fat she-camel." So Hamzah stood up with his sword and cut off their humps, cut open their flanks and took out their livers." 'Ali said: "I went and entered upon the Messenger of Allah , and Zaid bin Hârithah was with him. The Messenger of Allah saw in my face that something had happened and the Messenger of Allah said: 'What is the matter with you?' I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have never seen anything like today. Hamzah attacked my two she-camels. He cut off their humps and cut open their sides. He is there in a house and he is drinking.' The Messenger of Allah ii called for his Ridâ' (cloak) and put it on, then he set out walking, and Zaid bin Hârithah and I followed him. When he came to the door (of the house) in which Hamzah was, he asked for permission to enter and they gave him permission, and they were drinking. The Messenger of Allah started to rebuke Hamzah for what he had done. Uamzah's eyes were red, and he looked at the Messenger of Allah , then he lifted his gaze and looked at his knees, then he lifted his gaze and looked at his waist, then he lifted his gaze and looked at his face, and Hamzah said: 'Are you anything more than the slaves of my father?' The Messenger of Allah $f realized that he was drunk, so the Messenger of Allah started backing off and left, and we left with him."
