حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ، فَاحْتَفَرُوا زُبْيَةً لِلْأَسَدِ، فَجَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ، وَتَعَلَّقَ بِآخَرَ، وَتَعَلَّقَ الْآخَرُ بِآخَرَ، وَتَعَلَّقَ الْآخَرُ بِآخَرَ حَتَّى صَارُوا أَرْبَعَةً، فَجَرَحَهُمُ الْأَسَدُ فِيهَا، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ مَاتَ فِيهَا، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أُخْرِجَ، فَمَاتَ، قَالَ: فَتَنَازَعُوا فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَخَذُوا السِّلَاحَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُمْ عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: وَيْلَكُمْ تَقْتُلُونَ مِائَتَيْ إِنْسَانٍ فِي شَأْنِ أَرْبَعَةِ أَنَاسِيَّ، تَعَالَوْا أَقْضِ بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ، فَإِنْ رَضِيتُمْ بِهِ، وَإِلَّا فَارْتَفِعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَقَضَى لِلْأَوَّلِ رُبُعَ دِيَتِهِ، وَلِلثَّانِي ثُلُثَ دِيَتِهِ، وَلِلثَّالِثِ نِصْفَ دِيَتِهِ، وَلِلرَّابِعِ الدِّيَةَ كَامِلَةً قَالَ: فَرَضِيَ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَكَرِهَ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَجَعَلَ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى قَبَائِلِ الَّذِينَ ازْدَحَمُوا، قَالَ: فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، - قَالَ بَهْزٌ: قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: كَانَ مُتَّكِئًا، فَاحْتَبَى - قَالَ: سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ قَالَ: فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَضَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: فَأَمْضَى قَضَاءَهُ، قَالَ عَفَّانُ: سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ

✧ That 'Ali was in Yemen, and they dug a pit for a lion. Then a man came and fell into it, and he clung to another, and the other clung to another, and that other clung to another, until they became four. The lion wounded them in it; some of them died in it, and some were brought out and then died. He said: They disputed over that until they took up weapons. He said: 'Ali came to them and said: "Woe to you! Will you kill two hundred people over the affair of four individuals? Come, I will judge among you with a judgment; if you are satisfied with it, then fine, otherwise take it up to the Prophet ﷺ." He said: So he ruled for the first one a quarter of his blood money, for the second a third of his blood money, for the third half of his blood money, and for the fourth the full blood money. He said: Some of them were pleased, and some disliked it, and he placed the blood money on the tribes of those who crowded together. He said: So they took it up to the Prophet ﷺ—Bahz said: Hammad said: I think he said: He was reclining, then he sat up—he said: "I will judge among you with a judgment." He said: Then he was informed that 'Ali had ruled such and such. He said: So he approved his ruling. 'Affan said: "I will judge among you."

- ابن الملقن
وحنش هذا هو ابن المعتمر وبعضهم يقول ابن ربيعة تابعي روى عنه سماك والحكم بن عتيبة قال البخاري يتكلمون في حديثه وأورد له في ضعفائه هذا الحديث وقال النسائي ليس بالقوي وقال ابن حبان لا يحتج به ينفرد عن علي بأشياء لا تشبه حديث الثقات وقال البيهقي إنه غير محتج به وقال أبو حاتم كان عبدا صالحا وليس أراهم يحتجون بحديثه ووثقه أبو داود وقال البزار في حديثه هذا لا نعلمه يروي إلا عن علي ولا نعلم له طريقا عن علي إلا هذا الطريق
machine translationThis Ḥanash is Ibn al-Muʿtamir, and some say Ibn Rabīʿah. He was a Follower (tābiʿī); Simāk and al-Ḥakam b. ʿUtaybah narrated from him. al-Bukhārī said: "They speak about his ḥadīth," and he included this ḥadīth of his in his book of weak narrators (ḍuʿafāʾ). al-Nasāʾī said: "He is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī)." Ibn Ḥibbān said: "He is not to be used as evidence; he is alone in narrating from ʿAlī things that do not resemble the ḥadīth of the trustworthy." al-Bayhaqī said: "He is not to be used as evidence." Abū Ḥātim said: "He was a righteous servant, but I do not think they use his ḥadīth as evidence." Abū Dāwūd declared him trustworthy (thiqah). al-Bazzār said about this ḥadīth of his: "We know of him only narrating from ʿAlī, and we know of no route for it from ʿAlī except this route."
