Narrator:Ammī

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَصَبْتُ عَمِّي وَمَعَهُ رَايَةٌ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ فَقَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رَجُلٍ نَكَحَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ

أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ وَآخُذَ مَالَهُ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Yazid bin Al-Bara' that his father said:

"I met my maternal uncle who was carrying a flag (for an expedition) and I said: 'Where are you going?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah is sending me to a man who has married his father's wife, and he has commanded me to strike his neck (kill him) and seize his wealth.'"

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan al-Nasa'i

( نَكَحَ اِمْرَأَة أَبِيهِ ) عَلَى قَوَاعِد أَهْل الْجَاهِلِيَّة فَإِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ بِأَزْوَاجِ آبَائِهِمْ وَيَعُدُّونَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ بَاب الْإِرْث وَلِذَلِكَ ذَكَرَ اللَّه تَعَالَى النَّهْي مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِخُصُوصِهِ بِقَوْلِهِ وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مُبَالَغَة فِي الزَّجْر عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَالرَّجُل سَلَكَ مَسْلَكهمْ فِي عَدِّ ذَلِكَ حَلَالًا فَصَارَ مُرْتَدًّا فَقُتِلَ لِذَلِكَ وَهَذَا تَأْوِيل الْحَدِيث عِنْد مَنْ لَا يَقُول بِظَاهِرِهِ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَم. قَوْله ( وَآخُذ مَاله ) ظَاهِره مَنْ قَتَلَ مُرْتَدًّا فَمَاله فَيْء وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَم.…

"My maternal uncle Abu Burdah Ibn Niyar passed by me and he had a flag with him. I said: 'Where are you going ?' He said: 'the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dispatched me to a man who married a woman his father had married to: that I should bring him his head."

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِرَأْسِهِ ‏
