Hadith text

Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais:We were at Al-Ahwaz fighting the Al-Haruriya (tribe). While I was at the bank of a river a man was praying and the reins of his animal were in his hands and the animal was struggling and he was following the animal. (Shu`ba, a sub-narrator, said that man was Abu Barza Al-Aslami). A man from the Khawarij said, "O Allah! Be harsh to this sheik." And when the sheik (Abu Barza) finished his prayer, he said, "I heard your remark. No doubt, I participated with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in six or seven or eight holy battles and saw his leniency, and no doubt, I would rather retain my animal than let it return to its stable, as it would cause me much trouble

Al-Azraq bin Qais bataate hain: Hum Al-Ahwaz mein Al-Haruriya qabile se jung kar rahe the. Main ek nadi ke kinare tha, ek shaks namaz padh raha tha aur uske janwar ki lagaam uske haath mein thi, aur janwar tadap raha tha aur woh usi ke peechhe ja raha tha. (Shu'ba, doosre raawi ne kaha, woh shaks Abu Barza Al-Aslami the.) Khawarij qabile ke ek shaks ne kaha: "Aye Allah! Is Sheikh par sakhti kar." Jab Sheikh (Abu Barza) namaz khatam kar chuke, unhone kaha: "Maine tumhari baat suni. Beshak maine Allah ke Rasool ke saath chhe, saat ya aath jungon mein hissa liya, aur unki narmi dekhi, aur beshak main apne janwar ko rokanaa behtar samajhta hoon uske bajaye ke woh apne tabele mein wapas jaaye, kyunke isse mujhe bahut takleef hoti."
