Musnad Ahmad 18608

Translation

✧ I was searching for some camels of mine that had gone astray in the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, wandering among the dwellings, when I saw riders and horsemen come and circle my courtyard. They brought out a man, and without questioning him or speaking to him, they struck his neck. When they left, I asked about him, and they said: “He had married his father’s wife.”
