Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29473

Ibn Abi Omar told us, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Amr bin Dinar, he heard Jabir bin Abdullah say, “We were in a raid.” Sufyan said, “They see.” It was the raid of Banu al-Mustaliq, so a man from among the immigrants kicked a man from the Ansar, and the immigrant said, “Oh, the immigrants,” and he said Al-Ansari, oh the Ansar. Then the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, heard that and said, “What is the matter with the claim of pre-Islamic times?” They said, “A man from among the immigrants stabbed a man.” From the Ansar, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Leave her, for she is stinking.” Then Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul said, “Maybe they did it, by God.” (If we return to Medina, the more powerful will expel from it the meaner.) Then Omar said, “O Messenger of God, leave me alone.” Cut off the neck of this hypocrite. Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Leave him, so that the people will not tell that Muhammad kills his companions.” He said other than Amr, and his son Abdullah bin Abdullah said to him: By God, do not turn until you acknowledge that you are the humble one and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, is the Mighty. So he did. Abu Issa said: This is a good and authentic hadith.
