أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَکِيمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ قَالَ لَقِيتُ خَالِي وَمَعَهُ الرَّايَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ أَوْ أَقْتُلَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3339
It was narrated that Al-Bara’ said: “I met my maternal uncle who was carrying a flag (for an expedition) and I said: ‘Where are you going?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم is sending me to a man who has married his father’s wife after he died, to strike his neck or kill him.” (Sahih)
