Hadith of Ibn Surad (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ ابْنِ صُرَدٍ (١)، ٢٧٢٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَهُمَا يَتَقَاوَلَانِ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا قَدْ غَضِبَ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ "، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ (٢) ، قَالَ: هَلْ تَرَى بَأْسًا؟ قَالَ: مَا زَادَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there was a heated argument between two men, and one of them became so angry that even now, in my imagination, I can see his nose which had turned red due to anger. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), seeing his condition, said: "I know a word which, if this man afflicted with anger were to say, his anger would go away, and that word is «اعوذ بالله من الشيطن الرجيم.»."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ: " الْآنَ نَغْزُوهُمْ وَلَا يَغْزُونَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said on the day of the Battle of the Trench (upon returning): "Now we will advance upon them and fight, and they will never be able to advance against us again."

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ أَبُو لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي عُكَّاشَةَ (٢) الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رِفَاعَةُ (٣) الْبَجَلِيُّ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَصْرَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: مَا قَامَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِي قَبْلُ، قَالَ:، ، فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا أَمَّنَكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَمِهِ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُ "، قَالَ: وَكَانَ قَدْ أَمَّنَنِي عَلَى دَمِهِ فَكَرِهْتُ دَمَهُ (١) (٢)، ، .................................، ،

Rifa’ah bin Shaddad says that once I went to Mukhtar, he placed a cushion for me and said, “If my brother Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him, had not gotten up from this, I would have placed this cushion for you.” At that time, I was standing by Mukhtar’s head. When it became clear to me that he was a liar, by Allah, I intended to draw my sword and cut off his neck. But then I remembered a hadith which Sulaiman bin Surad, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to me, that I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “Whoever grants safety to a Muslim regarding his life first, then he should not kill him.” Therefore, I did not consider it appropriate to kill him.
