96. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Ayyub and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father altogether from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘Abu Dharr (ar) came to the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) and said, ‘O Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj), I (asws) have begun disliking Al-Medina. Will you (saww) permit me (asws), and that I (ar) and the son of my (ar) brother go out to Muzeyna, for we are from it?’ He (saww) said: ‘I (saww) fear that you (ar) might be attacked by Arab horsemen, so they would kill the son of your (ar) brother and you will come to me (saww) beaten up, and stand in front of me (saww) leaning upon your stick and you will say, ‘The son of my (ar) brother has been killed, and the cattle taken away’. He (ar) said, ‘O Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj), but nothing will happen except for the good, Allah (azwj) Willing’. So the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) gave him (ar) permission. So he (ar) and the son of his (ar) brother, and his (ar) wife went out. But, very soon the horsemen of the Clan of Fazaarat, among whom was Uyaynah Bin Hasan attacked them, took away the cattle, and killed the son of his (ar) brother, and took his (ar) wife who as from the Clan of Ghaffaar. And Abu Dharr (ar) came up in an intensely difficult condition and paused in front of the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj), badly wounded and leaning upon his stick and said, ‘Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) Rasool (saww) were right. The cattle were taken, and the son of my (ar) brother being killed, and I (ar) am leaning upon my stick’. So the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) cried out among the Muslims. So they went out in the search, and returned the cattle, and killed a number from the Polytheists’.
حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
أَتَى أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدِ اجْتَوَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ أَ فَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ أَنَا وَ ابْنُ أَخِي إِلَى مُزَيْنَةَ فَنَكُونَ بِهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يُغِيرَ عَلَيْكَ خَيْلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَيُقْتَلَ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ فَتَأْتِيَنِي شَعَثاً فَتَقُومَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مُتَّكِئاً عَلَى عَصَاكَ فَتَقُولَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِي وَ أُخِذَ السَّرْحُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَلْ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا خَيْراً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَخَرَجَ هُوَ وَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ هُنَاكَ إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى غَارَتْ خَيْلٌ لِبَنِي فَزَارَةَ فِيهَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ فَأُخِذَتِ السَّرْحُ وَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَ أُخِذَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ بِهِ طَعْنَةٌ جَائِفَةٌ فَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى عَصَاهُ وَ قَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أُخِذَ السَّرْحُ وَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِي وَ قُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ عَلَى عَصَايَ فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَخَرَجُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ فَرَدُّوا السَّرْحَ وَ قَتَلُوا نَفَراً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ.
