Hadith #156

Arabic Text

English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yahya, from Husayn, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather — that he said: 'When Mecca was conquered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Put down your weapons — except Khuza'a [who may continue] against Banu Bakr" — and he permitted them until he had prayed 'Asr, then said: "Put down your weapons." The next day a man from Khuza'a met a man from Banu Bakr at Muzdalifah and killed him. This reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he stood to give a sermon — I saw him leaning his back against the Ka'bah. He said: "The most hostile of people toward Allah is: one who kills within the Sacred Precinct [al-Haram], one who kills someone other than his own killer, or one who kills out of pre-Islamic vendettas [dhuyul al-jahiliyyah]." A man stood and said: "So-and-so is my son." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no [lineage] claim [by fornication] in Islam — the pre-Islamic era's custom has passed. The child belongs to the marital bed, and to the fornicator belongs the stone [al-athlab]." They said: "What is al-athlab?" He said: "The stone." He also said: "For fingers, ten [camels each] — and for al-mawadih [blows exposing bone], five [camels] each." And he said: "There is no prayer after Fajr until the sun rises, and no prayer after 'Asr until the sun sets." And: "A woman may not be married while her paternal aunt is [already] in the marriage, nor while her maternal aunt is [in the marriage]. And a woman's gift is not valid except with the permission of her husband."'
