أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ سَاقَ خَلِيجًا لَهُ مِنَ الْعَرِيضِ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ. فَأَبَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ الضَّحَّاكُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. فَدَعَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ سَبِيلَهُ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ: لا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لِمَ تَمْنَعُ أَخَاكَ مَا يَنْفَعُهُ وَهُوَ لَكَ أَنْفَعُ تَشْرَبُ بِهِ أَوَّلا وَآخِرًا وَلا يَضُرُّكَ، فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ: لا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللَّهِ لَيَمُرَّنَّ بِهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى بَطْنِكَ.
مسند امام شافی · Hadith 1495
Malik, on the authority of Amru Bin Yahya Al-Mazzani, told us about his father: that the laughing son of Khalifah, he gave a bay for him from Arid, from Ar-Arid. Muhammad ibn Masalamah refused, and the laugher spoke to him, Omar Bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him. Muhammad called Musallamah and commanded him to release him. Muhammad bin Musallamah said: No. Umar said: Your brother did not prevent what is good for him, and it is your benefit that you drink from him first and foremost and do not harm you. Omar said: By God, he would be able to exercise it even if it was on your stomach.
