Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَرَّ بِابْنِ صَيَّادٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبْئًا قَالَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ دُخٌّ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْسَأْ فَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ قَدْرَكَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ لَا إِنْ يَكُنْ الَّذِي نَخَافُ فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ قَتْلَهُ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah told us: al-A'mash told us, from Shaqiq, from Abdullah, who said: "We were walking with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he passed by Ibn Sayyad and said: 'I have hidden something for you.' Ibn Sayyad said: 'Dukh.' So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Be off with you - you shall not exceed your due measure.'" Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, let me strike his neck." He said: "No. If he is the one we fear, you will not be able to kill him."
