269 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: ʿUmar ibn Qays narrated to us, from ʿIkrima ibn ʿAmmār, from Yaḥyā ibn Abī Kathīr, who said: A man once remarked in the presence of Abū Hurayra, “The wrongdoer harms no one but himself.” Abū Hurayra retorted, “That is false! By Him in whose hand is the soul of Abū Hurayra, the ḥubārā (houbara bustard) dies in its nest because of the oppressor’s injustice.”
٢٦٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: " إِنَّ الظَّالِمَ لَا يَظْلِمُ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: كَذَبْتَ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ الْحُبَارَى لَتَمُوتُ فِي وَكْرِهَا مِنْ ظُلْمِ الظَّالِمِ "
