حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَمْ يَكْذِبْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ كَذِبَاتٍ: قَوْلُهُ حِينَ دُعِيَ إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ {إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ} [الصافات: ٨٩] ، وَقَوْلُهُ: {فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا} [الأنبياء: ٦٣] ، وَقَوْلُهُ لِسَارَةَ: إِنَّهَا أُخْتِي "، قَالَ: " وَدَخَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَرْيَةً فِيهَا مَلِكٌ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ، أَوْ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ، فَقِيلَ: دَخَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ اللَّيْلَةَ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَلِكُ أَوِ الْجَبَّارُ مَنْ هَذِهِ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ: أُخْتِي، قَالَ: أَرْسِلْ بِهَا، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ لَهَا: لَا تُكَذِّبِي قَوْلِي، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّكِ أُخْتِي، إِنْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُؤْمِنٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُكِ "، قَالَ: " فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ قَامَ إِلَيْهَا "، قَالَ: " فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَوَضَّأُ، وَتُصَلِّي، وَتَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ وَأَحْصَنْتُ فَرْجِي إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجِي، فَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ الْكَافِرَ "، قَالَ: " فَغُطَّ حَتَّى رَكَضَ بِرِجْلِهِ "، قَالَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ (١) : قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: " اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ إِنْ يَمُتْ يُقَلْ هِيَ قَتَلَتْهُ "، قَالَ: " فَأُرْسِلَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَامَتْ تَوَضَّأُ، وَتُصَلِّي، وَتَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ،، ، وَأَحْصَنْتُ فَرْجِي إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجِي، فَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ الْكَافِرَ "، قَالَ: " فَغُطَّ حَتَّى رَكَضَ بِرِجْلِهِ " - قَالَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ: قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ إِنْ يَمُتْ يُقَلْ هِيَ قَتَلَتْهُ - قَالَ: " فَأُرْسِلَ، فَقَالَ: فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ مَا أَرْسَلْتُمْ إِلَيَّ إِلَّا شَيْطَانًا، ارْجِعُوهَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَعْطُوهَا هَاجَرَ "، قَالَ: " فَرَجَعَتْ، فَقَالَتْ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: أَشَعَرْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ تعالى رَدَّ كَيْدَ الْكَافِرِ، وَأَخْدَمَ وَلِيدَةً؟ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) never said anything that was actually true but apparently seemed to be a lie, except for three such statements. The first two are these: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said, "I am sick," and he said, "This (idol-breaking) was done by the big idol." The third incident happened as follows: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and Sarah (peace be upon her) were passing through a village where a tyrant king resided. Someone told the king that a man had come here with a very beautiful woman. The king sent a man to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to inquire, "Who is this woman?" Ibrahim (peace be upon him) replied, "She is my sister." Then he went to Sarah (peace be upon her) and said, "There is no other believer on the face of the earth except you and me, and that tyrant asked me about you, so I told him you are my sister. Therefore, do not contradict me." After this, the king summoned Sarah (peace be upon her). She went. The king approached her with evil intentions. Sarah (peace be upon her) performed ablution and began to pray, saying, "O Allah! If You know that I believe in You and Your Messenger, and have protected my chastity from everyone except my husband, then do not let this disbeliever overpower me." Upon this, he sank into the ground. Sarah (peace be upon her) prayed, "O Allah! If he dies like this, people will say that Sarah killed him." So Allah released him. He tried to assault her again, but the same thing happened; he sank into the ground and was released. The third or fourth time, the king said to his guard, "You have not brought a human to me, but a devil. Send her back to Ibrahim." Saying this, he gave Sarah (peace be upon her) Hajar (peace be upon her) as a servant. Sarah (peace be upon her) returned to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and said, "Allah has protected me from the disbeliever's assault, and he has given me Hajar for service."
