أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْبَرَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ عَمِّي وَمَعَهُ رَايَةٌ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ فَقَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی رَجُلٍ نَکَحَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَآخُذَ مَالَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3340
It was narrated from Yazid bin Al-Bath’ that his father 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, and he has commanded me to strike his neck (kit! him) and seize his wealth.” (Sahih)
