حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْهَضْهَاضِ الدَّوْسِيِّ
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الأَسْلَمِيُّ فَرَجَمَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْخَائِنَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِرَارًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَرُدُّهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ كَمَا يُقْتَلُ الْكَلْبُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِجِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ شَائِلَةٌ رِجْلُهُ فَقَالَ كُلاَ مِنْ هَذَا قَالاَ مِنْ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ فَالَّذِي نِلْتُمَا مِنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيكُمَا آنِفًا أَكْثَرُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي نَهْرٍ مِنْ أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَغَمَّسُ
Translation
✧ From Abu Hurayrah, who said: Maʿiz b. Malik al-Aslami came, and the Prophet ﷺ stoned him on the fourth [confession]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by him with a group of his companions. Two men among them said, "This traitor came to the Prophet ﷺ time after time, each time he sent him back, until he was killed like a dog is killed." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent about them until he passed by the carcass of a donkey with its leg raised. He said, "Eat from this." They said, "From the carcass of a donkey, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "That which you took from the honor of your brother just now is more. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, he is in a river among the rivers of Paradise, plunging in."
