حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدِ اللهِ

عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ لَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِي مِنْ وَرَائِي قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ قَالَ أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ فَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ أَحَبَّهُ مَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيَّ الْخِطْبَةَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا جَارِيَةً أَمَا إِنَّهَا عَوْرَاءُ

Translation

✧ From Mujāhid, who said: A man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ met me and took hold of my shoulder from behind and said, "Indeed, I love you." I said, "May the One for whom you love me love you." He said, "Were it not that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When a man loves another man, he should tell him that he loves him,' I would not have told you." Then he began to offer me a proposal of marriage, saying, "We have a slave girl, but she is one-eyed."
