Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ أُخْتَ الرُّبَيِّعِ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ جَرَحَتْ إِنْسَانًا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِصَاصُ الْقِصَاصُ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ الرُّبَيِّعِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُقْتَصُّ مِنْ فُلَانَةَ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا أُمَّ رُبَيِّعٍ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا قَالَ فَمَا زَالَتْ حَتَّى قَبِلُوا مِنْهَا الدِّيَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ.
English Translation
Anas said: 'The number of those who prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at Maghrib and Isha on the night when he was taken on the Night Journey and came back and told them about it — they left (abandoned faith) and some went to Abu Bakr and said: What do you think of your companion claiming he went to Bayt al-Maqdis tonight? He said: Did he say that? They said: Yes. He said: Then I believe him. I believe him in something even more wondrous than that — I believe him regarding the news of heaven morning and evening.'
