حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الأَقْمَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، وَكَانَ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ حَكَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ رَجُلاً وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ امْرَأَةٌ وَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا هَكَذَا كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ لَقَدْ مَزَجْتِ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَوْ مَزَجْتِ بِهَا مَاءَ الْبَحْرِ لَمُزِجَ ‏"

Abu Hudhaifah narrated - and he was one of the companions of 'Abdullãh bin Mas'üd - from 'Aishah who said:

"I told the Prophet (ﷺ) about a man, so he said: 'I do not like to talk about a man, even if I were to get this or that (for doing so)." She said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Safiyyah is a woman who is ..." and she used her hand as if to indicate that she is short - "So he said: 'You have said a statement which, if it were mixed in with the water of the sea, it would pollute it."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 2502) and Ahmad (No. 24384).

قَوْلُهُ : ( أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ) هُوَ الّقَطَّانُ ( وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ) هُوَ اِبْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا ) أَيْ أَشَارَتْ بِهَا ( تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً ) أَيْ تُرِيدُ عَائِشَةُ كَوْنَهَا قَصِيرَةً وَفِي الْمِشْكَاةِ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسْبُك مِنْ صَفِيَّةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً ( لَقَدْ مَزَجْت بِكَلِمَةٍ ) أَيْ أَعْمَالَك ( لَوْ مُزِجَ ) بِصِيغَةِ الْمَجْهُولِ أَيْ لَوْ خُلِطَ ( بِهَا ] أَيْ عَلَى تَقْدِيرِ تَجْسِيدِهَا وَكَوْنِهَا مَائِعَةً ( لَمُزِجَ ) بِصِيغَةِ الْمَجْهُولِ أَيْضًا وَالْمَعْنَى تَغَيَّرَ وَصَارَ مَغْلُوبًا. وَفِي الْمِشْكَاةِ : لَقَدْ قُلْتِ كَلِمَةً لَوْ مُزِجَ بِهَا الْبَحْرُ لَمَزَجَتْهُ…
