حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْأَنْطَاکِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَصَابَ رَجُلًا جُرْحٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ احْتَلَمَ فَأُمِرَ بِالِاغْتِسَالِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِکَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ أَلَمْ يَکُنْ شِفَائُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 337
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man was injured during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he then had a sexual dream, and he was advised to wash and he washed himself. Consequently he died. When this was reported to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said: They killed him; may Allah kill them! Is not inquiry the cure of ignorance?
