Book 89: (Statements made under) Coercion
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “(The Prophet) Abraham migrated with his wife Sarah till he reached a town
where there was a king or a tyrant who sent a message, to Abraham, ordering him to send Sarah to
him. So when Abraham had sent Sarah, the tyrant got up, intending to do evil with her, but she got up
and performed ablution and prayed and said, ‘O Allah ! If I have believed in You and in Your Apostle,
then do not empower this oppressor over me.’ So he (the king) had an epileptic fit and started moving
his legs violently. “
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” هَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِسَارَةَ، دَخَلَ بِهَا قَرْيَةً فِيهَا مَلِكٌ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ أَوْ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَرْسِلْ إِلَىَّ بِهَا. فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَامَتْ تَوَضَّأُ وَتُصَلِّي فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ فَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَىَّ الْكَافِرَ، فَغُطَّ حَتَّى رَكَضَ بِرِجْلِهِ ”.
