Hadith #202
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ خَالِهِ مُسَافِعٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ أُمِّ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَتْ أَخْبَرَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَلَدَتْ عَامَّةَ أَهْلِ دَارِنَا أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً إِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ طَلْحَةَ لِمَ دَ
عَاكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ قَرْنَيْ الْكَبْشِ حِينَ دَخَلْتُ الْبَيْتَ فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ آمُرَكَ أَنْ تُخَمِّرَهُمَا فَخَمِّرْهُمَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ شَيْءٌ يَشْغَلُ الْمُصَلِّيَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَمْ تَزَلْ قَرْنَا الْكَبْشِ فِي الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى احْتَرَقَ الْبَيْتُ فَاحْتَرَقَا

English Translation
Sufyān narrated to us, he said: Manṣūr narrated to me, from his maternal uncle Musāfiʿ, from Ṣafiyyah bint Shaybah — the mother of Manṣūr — she said: A woman from Banū Sulaym who had given birth to most of the people of our neighborhood informed me. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent for ʿUthmān ibn Ṭalḥah — and once he said: she asked ʿUthmān ibn Ṭalḥah — why did the Prophet ﷺ call you? He said: I had seen the horns of the ram when I entered the House, but I forgot to tell you to cover them. So cover them, for there should not be anything in the House that distracts those who pray. Sufyān said: The horns of the ram remained in the House until the House burned down, and they burned with it.
