Hadith 41

arding the food. Bring to us-asws two prayer-mats, so we-asws can pray what has been lost by us-asws’. They-asws prayed and went to their-asws sleeping places. The younger said to the older, ‘O my-asws brother-asws! And O son of my uncle! Stick to me-asws and sniff from my-asws aroma, for I-asws think it is my-asws last night. We-asws shall not come any morning after it’. And he (the narrator) continued the Hadeeth approximate to what has passed, until he said, ‘Then he-la swayed the sword and struck off the neck of the older one-asws and threw his-asws body in the Euphrates. The younger one-asws said, ‘I-asws ask you-la by Allah-azwj, if you-la could leave me-asws until I-asws wallow in the blood of my-asws brother-asws for a while’. He-la said, ‘And what will that benefit you-asws? ’ He-asws said, ‘That is what I-asws like’. So, he-asws wallowed in the blood of his-asws brother-asws Ibrahim-asws for a while. Then he-la said to him-asws, ‘Stand! ’ But he-asws did not stand. He-la placed the sword upon his-asws back and struck off his-asws neck from the direction of the back and threw his-asws body in the Euphrates. His-asws body was upon the surface of the Euphrates for a while until the second was thrown. The first body came returning, splitting the water with a splitting until it adhered with the body of his-asws brother-asws, and they-asws both went into the water. And this accursed on heard voices from between the two while they-asws were in the water, ‘Lord-azwj! You-azwj Know and have Seen what this accursed one has done with us-asws! So, Fulfil our-asws rights for us-asws from him-la on the Day of Qiyamah! ’
Then he (the narrator) said, ‘Ubeydullah-la called for a black slave of his-la called Nadir. He-la said to him, ‘O Nadir! Deal with this Sheikh. Bind his-la shoulders and go with him-la to the very place in which he-la killed the two boys-asws and strike off his-la neck, and his-la plunder is for you, and for you would be ten thousand Dirhams, and you are free for the Face of Allah-azwj! ’
The slave went with him-la to the very place in which he-la had struck off their-asws necks. He-la said to him, ‘O Nadir! Is there no alternative for you from killing me-la? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘He struck off his-la neck and threw his-la carcass into the water. But the water did not accept it and cast it to the bank. And Ubeydullah-la Bin Ziyad-la ordered that it be buried in the fire. So, that was done with him-la, and he-la went to the Punishment of Allah-azwj’’. [59]
