Hadith text

Narrated Abu Qilaba:That he was sitting behind `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz and the people mentioned and mentioned (about al-Qasama) and they said (various things), and said that the Caliphs had permitted it. `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz turned towards Abu Qilaba who was behind him and said. "What do you say, O `Abdullah bin Zaid?" or said, "What do you say, O Abu Qilaba?" Abu Qilaba said, "I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and His Apostle." 'Anbasa said, "Anas narrated to us such-and-such." Abu Qilaba said, "Anas narrated to me in this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and they spoke to him saying, 'The climate of this land does not suit us.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'These are camels belonging to us, and they are to be taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk and urine.' So they took them and set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed him and drove away the camels.' Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they murdered (a person) and waged war against Allah and His Apostle and frightened Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Anbasa said, "I testify the uniqueness of Allah!" Abu Qilaba said, "Do you suspect me?" 'Anbasa said, "No, Anas narrated that (Hadith) to us." Then 'Anbasa added, "O the people of such-and-such (country), you will remain in good state as long as Allah keeps this (man) and the like of this (man) amongst you

Abu Qilaba bataate hain: Wo Umar bin Abdul Aziz ke peechhe baithe the aur logon ne Qasama (qatl ke ilzaam sabit karne ke liye qasmon ka usool) ka zikr kiya aur mukhtalif baatein kahin, aur kaha ke pichhle Khulafa ne isse ijaazat di thi. Umar bin Abdul Aziz apne peechhe baithe Abu Qilaba ki taraf mude aur kaha, 'Tumhara kya khayaal hai, Aye Abdullah bin Zaid?' ya kaha, 'Aye Abu Qilaba?' Abu Qilaba ne kaha, 'Mujhe nahi maloom ke Islam mein kisi ki jaan lena jaayez hai siwaaye teen soorat mein: ek shaadi-shuda shaks jo zina kare, doosra jo kisi ko naahaq qatl kare, ya teesra jo Allah aur uske Rasool ke khilaaf jang chhede.' Anbasa ne kaha, 'Anas ne humein falaan-falaan baat sunaayi thi.' Abu Qilaba ne kaha, 'Anas ne mujhe is silsile mein bataaya tha ke kuch log Nabi (SAW) ke paas aaye aur kaha, "Is zameen ki aab-o-hawa hamare liye theek nahi." Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, "Ye hamare oont hain jo charne ke liye bahar bheje jaate hain, tum inhe le jao aur inka doodh aur peshaab piyo." To unhone unhe liya aur nikal gaye aur unka doodh aur peshaab piya, aur jab tandurust ho gaye to chowkidaar par hamla karke use qatl kar diya aur oont hankaa kar le gaye." To fir unhe saza dene mein kya deri honi chaahiye jabke unhone qatl kiya aur Allah aur uske Rasool ke khilaaf jang chhedi aur Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ko dara diya?' Anbasa ne kaha, 'Main Allah ki wahdaniyat ki gawaahi deta hoon!' Abu Qilaba ne kaha, 'Kya tumhein mujhpar shak hai?' Anbasa ne kaha, 'Nahi, Anas ne humein wahi riwayat sunaayi thi.' Phir Anbasa ne kaha, 'Aye falaan mulk ke logo! Tum tab tak achhi haalat mein rahoge jab tak Allah tum mein aise (imaandaar) log rakhta rahega.'
