Narrator:Ali

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ وَهَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غُلاَمَيْنِ أَخَوَيْنِ فَبِعْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَا عَلِيُّ

مَا فَعَلَ غُلاَمُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ رُدَّهُ رُدَّهُ ‏"

Narrated 'Ali :

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me two boys who were brothers, so I sold one of them, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: 'O, 'Ali! What happened to your boy?' So I informed him, and he said: 'Return him, return him.'"

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and others, disliked separating between the captives when selling them.

Some of the people of knowledge permitted separating the children that were born in the land of Islam, but the first view is more correct. It has been related that Ibrahim An-Nakha'i seperated a mother and her child in a sale, so he was asked about that. He said: "I sought her permission for that and she approved."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1284).

قَوْلُهُ : ( يَا عَلِيُّ مَا فَعَلَ ) بِالْفَتْحِ أَيْ صَنَعَ ( غُلَامُك ) أَيْ الْغَائِبُ ( فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ) أَيْ أَعْلَمْت النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَيْعِهِ ( رُدَّهُ ) أَيْ رُدَّ الْبَيْعَ ( رُدَّهُ ) كَرَّرَهُ لِلتَّأْكِيدِ. قَوْلُهُ : ( هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ) وَأَخْرَجَهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَهْ. قَالَ الشَّوْكَانِيُّ : وَهُوَ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مَيْمُونَ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. وَقَدْ أَعَلَّهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِالِانْقِطَاعِ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْحَاكِمُ وَصَحَّحَ إِسْنَادَهُ وَرَجَّحَهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ لِشَوَاهِدِهِ اِنْتَهَى. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَقَدْ كَرِهَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّ…

God’s Messenger presented me with two youths who were brothers, and when I sold one of them God’s Messenger asked me, “What has happened to your young man, ‘Ali?” When I told him he said, “Get him back, get him back.” Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
