Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ هَيَّاجَ بْنَ عِمْرَانَ أَتَى عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي قَدْ نَذَرَ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى غُلَامِهِ لَيَقْطَعَنَّ مِنْهُ طَابِقًا أَوْ لَيَقْطَعَنَّ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ قُلْ لِأَبِيكَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَا يَقْطَعْ مِنْهُ طَابِقًا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَحُثُّ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَى عَنْ الْمُثْلَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَى سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us, Said narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, that Hayyaj ibn Imran came to Imran ibn Husayn and said: 'My father has vowed that if he catches his slave, he will cut off a limb of his or cut off his hand.' He said: 'Tell your father to expiate for his oath and not to cut off any limb, for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to urge charity in his sermons and forbid mutilation.' Then he went to Samurah ibn Jundub, who told him the same thing.
