Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ: عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: نَزَلَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بِالْكُوفَةِ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مَوْلَانَا قَرَابَةٌ - قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَهُم مَوالِي لْأَحْمَسِ (٣) -، فَاجْتَمَعَتْ أَحْمَسُ، قَالَ، ، قَيْسٌ: فَأَتَيْنَاهُ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: فَأَتَاهُ الْحَيُّ -، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْسِبَاؤُكَ أَتَوْكَ يُسَلِّمُونَ (١) عَلَيْكَ، وَتُحَدِّثُهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِهِمْ وَأَهْلًا، صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، لَمْ أَكُنْ أَحْرَصَ عَلَى أَنْ أَعِيَ الْحَدِيثَ مِنِّي فِيهِنَّ، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " وَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدُكُمْ حَبْلًا فَيَحْتَطِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، فَيَأْكُلَ وَيَتَصَدَّقَ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَجُلًا أَغْنَاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَيَسْأَلَهُ، أَعْطَاهُ أَوْ مَنَعَهُ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man who had drunk alcohol was brought to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Beat him." So some of us beat him with our hands, some with shoes, and some with a piece of cloth. When he went back, someone said to him, "May Allah disgrace you." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not say this. Do not help Satan against him. Rather, say: May Allah have mercy on you."
