حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ الْهَيَّاجِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ أَبَقَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ فَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَقْطَعَنَّ يَدَهُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي لِأَسْأَلَ لَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ کَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحُثُّنَا عَلَی الصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنْ الْمُثْلَةِ فَأَتَيْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحُثُّنَا عَلَی الصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنْ الْمُثْلَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2667
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: Al-Hayyaj ibn Imran ibn Husayn reported that a slave of Imran ran away. He took a vow to Allah that if he overpowers him, he will cut off his head. He then sent me (to Samurah ibn Jundub) to ask him about this question for him. I came to Samurah ibn Jundub and asked him. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to exhort us to give alms (sadaqah) and forbid us to mutilate (a slain). I then came to Imran ibn Husayn and asked him. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to exhort us to give alms (sadaqah) and forbid us to mutilate (a slain).
