حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ يَعْنِي الْأَبْرَشَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ صَالِحٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الصَّائِفَةَ فَقَرِمَ أَصْحَابُنَا إِلَى اللَّحْمِ فَسَأَلُونِي فَقَالُوا أَتَأْذَنُ لَنَا أَنْ نَذْبَحَ رَمْكَةً لَهُ فَدَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْهِمْ فَحَبَلُوهَا ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَكَانَكُمْ حَتَّى آتِيَ خَالِدًا فَأَسْأَلَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ خَيْبَرَ فَأَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي حَظَائِرِ يَهُودَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُنَادِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَسْرَعْتُمْ فِي حَظَائِرِ يَهُودَ أَلَا لَا تَحِلُّ أَمْوَالُ الْمُعَاهَدِينَ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لُحُومُ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ وَخَيْلِهَا وَبِغَالِهَا وَكُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنْ السِّبَاعِ وَكُلِّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنْ الطَّيْرِ.
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Abd al-Malik told us: Muhammad ibn Harb - meaning al-Abrash - told us, he said: Sulayman ibn Sulaym Abu Salamah told us, from Salih - meaning Ibn Yahya ibn al-Miqdam - from his grandfather al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib, who said: We went on a summer campaign with Khalid ibn al-Walid, and our companions craved meat and asked me, saying: Will you permit us to slaughter a mare of his? So I handed it over to them, and they hobbled it. Then I said: Stay where you are until I go to Khalid and ask him. He said: So I went to him and asked him, and he said: We went on the campaign of Khaybar with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the people rushed hastily into the enclosures of the Jews. He ordered me to announce: The prayer is to be held in congregation, and only a Muslim shall enter Paradise. Then he said: O people, you have rushed hastily into the enclosures of the Jews. Indeed, the property of those under covenant is not lawful except by right, and forbidden to you are the meat of domestic donkeys, and their horses and mules, and every beast of prey with fangs, and every bird with talons.
