حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي نَاجِيَةَ الْإِسْکَنْدَرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَحَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ فِيهِ بَعْدَ الضَّرْبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ بَکِّتُوهُ فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُونَ مَا اتَّقَيْتَ اللَّهَ مَا خَشِيتَ اللَّهَ وَمَا اسْتَحْيَيْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوهُ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَلَکِنْ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَزِيدُ الْکَلِمَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4478
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn al- Had through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. He said after the word “beating”: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to his Companions: Reproach him, and they faced him and said: You have not respected Allah, you have not feared Allah and you have not shown shame before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then they released him. Some have also added similar words.
