Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَتِيلًا بَيْنَ قَرْيَتَيْنِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذُرِعَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى شِبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى أَقْرَبِهِمَا.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us, Abu Isra'il told us, from 'Atiyyah al-'Awfi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) found a slain man between two villages, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the distance between them be measured. He said: And it is as if I can see the span of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he attributed responsibility to the nearer of the two villages.
