Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ أَسْلَمَ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ نِسَاءَهُ وَقَسَمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ الشَّيْطَانَ فِيمَا يَسْتَرِقُ مِنْ السَّمْعِ سَمِعَ بِمَوْتِكَ فَقَذَفَهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا تَمْكُثَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَتُرَاجِعَنَّ نِسَاءَكَ وَلَتَرْجِعَنَّ فِي مَالِكَ أَوْ لَأُوَرِّثُهُنَّ مِنْكَ وَلَآمُرَنَّ بِقَبْرِكَ فَيُرْجَمُ كَمَا رُجِمَ قَبْرُ أَبِي رِغَالٍ.
English Translation
Isma'il and Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, they said: Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri - Ibn Ja'far said in his narration: Ibn Shihab informed us - from Salim, from his father: that Ghaylan ibn Salama al-Thaqafi embraced Islam while he had ten wives, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Choose four of them." Then, in the time of 'Umar, he divorced his [other] wives and divided his wealth among his sons. That reached 'Umar, who said: "I suspect that the devil, in what he steals by eavesdropping [on the heavens], heard of your impending death and cast it into your mind; but perhaps you will not remain alive except a little while. By Allah, you shall take back your wives and take back your wealth, or else I will make them inherit from you, and I will order that your grave be stoned as the grave of Abu Righal was stoned."
