Yaʿqūb ibn Shaybah al-Sadūsī said: Qabīṣah narrated to us; Sufyān narrated to us, from al-Mughīrah ibn al-Nuʿmān, from Mālik ibn Anas, from Hāniʾ ibn Ḥarām, who said:
“A query was written to ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb about a man who found another man with his wife and killed him. In the confidential note he replied, ‘He must pay the blood money (diyah),’ while in the public pronouncement he wrote, ‘Retribution is to be taken from him.’ (1)”
Yaʿqūb commented: ʿUmar intended thereby to instill fear.
And through my chain to Ibn Makhlad al-ʿAṭṭār: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Anas narrated to us; Abū Hubayrah al-Dimashqī narrated to us; Salāmah ibn Bishr narrated to us; Yazīd ibn al-Simṭ narrated to us; from al-Awzāʿī, from Mālik, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār, from Ibn ʿUmar:
from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said, “The traitor will have a banner raised for him on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be announced: ‘This is the betrayal of so-and-so.’”
Al-Nasāʾī recorded it (2) from Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad, from Salāmah, with this chain.
We have likewise received it with an elevated chain.
ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Ḥusaynī (3) informed us; Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Qaṭīʿī informed us.
= Also recorded by al-Bukhari, 12/89, through the chain of Ibrahim ibn Saad from Ibn Shihab, and through the chain of Yahya ibn Abi Kathir from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari, both ultimately from Amra, with the same wording.
(1) Recorded by Abd al-Razzaq (no. 17921) from al-Thawri, from al-Mughira ibn al-Nuʿman, from Hani ibn Haram.
(2) Likewise in al-Bukhari, 10/464, Book of Manners, chapter “People are to be called by their fathers”; Muslim (no. 1735), Book of Jihad and Expeditions, chapter “The prohibition of betrayal”; and Abu Dawud (no. 2756) — all on the authority of Ibn Umar. Supporting narrations: from Anas (Muslim, no. 1737), from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri (Muslim, no. 1738), and from Abd Allah ibn Masud (Muslim, no. 1736; al-Bukhari, 6/202).
(3) Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abd al-Muhsin al-Husayni al-Ghrafi, the imam, hadith scholar, Taj al-Din Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Wasiti al-Ghrafi, later the certified Alexandrian, studied with numerous shaykhs and transmitted widely; many travelling scholars from both the East and the Maghrib narrated from him. He was a learned and virtuous muhaddith, devoted to Qur’an recitation and good works; once he had earned enough for his needs, he would stop working and turn entirely to worship. He died in 704 AH. His biography appears in al-Dhahabi’s Mashyakhat al-Dhahabi, folio 93.
