Laqeet bin Sabra reported from his father that he said, "I was the delegate of Banu Muntafiq," or, "I was among the delegation of Banu Muntafiq to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."He said, "When we arrived at the home of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we did not find him there, but we found Ayesha, the Mother of the Believers. She ordered that a dish of khazira be prepared for us, and it was made for us. Then a tray was brought to us." Qutayba did not say "the tray." The tray was a platter with dates on it.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and asked, "Have you been given anything, or has anything been ordered for you?"We replied, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."He said, "While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the shepherd brought his flock back to the pen, and with him was a newborn lamb bleating."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did it bear, so-and-so?"The shepherd answered, "A female lamb."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then slaughter a sheep for us in its place." Then he said, "Do not think," and he did not say, "Do not imagine, that we slaughtered it for your sake. We have a hundred sheep and do not wish them to increase. So whenever the shepherd has a newborn lamb, we slaughter a sheep in its place."I said, "Messenger of Allah, I have a wife, and there is something in her tongue," meaning foul speech.He said, "Then divorce her."I said, "Messenger of Allah, she has been my long companion, and I have a child from her."He said, "Then admonish her," meaning, give her counsel, "for if there is good in her, she will respond. And do not strike your wife as you would strike your slave girl."I said, "Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution."He said, "Perform the ablution thoroughly, run your fingers between your toes, and inhale water deeply into your nose, unless you are fasting."
حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد في آخرين قالوا حدثنا يحيى بن سليم عن إسمعيل بن كثير
عن أبيه لقيط بن صبرة قال كنت وافد بني المنتفق أو في وفد بني المنتفق إلى رسول الله ﷺ قال فلما قدمنا على رسول الله ﷺ فلم نصادفه في منزله وصادفنا عائشة أم المؤمنين قال فأمرت لنا بخزيرة فصنعت لنا قال وأتينا بقناع ولم يقل قتيبة القناع والقناع الطبق فيه تمر ثم جاء رسول الله ﷺ فقال هل أصبتم شيئا أو أمر لكم بشيء قال قلنا نعم يا رسول الله قال فبينا نحن مع رسول الله ﷺ جلوس إذ دفع الراعي غنمه إلى المراح ومعه سخلة تيعر فقال ما ولدت يا فلان قال بهمة قال فاذبح لنا مكانها شاة ثم قال لا تحسبن ولم يقل لا تحسبن أنا من أجلك ذبحناها لنا غنم مائة لا نريد أن تزيد فإذا ولد الراعي بهمة ذبحنا مكانها شاة قال قلت يا رسول الله إن لي امرأة وإن في لسانها شيئا يعني البذاء قال فطلقها إذا قال قلت يا رسول الله إن لها صحبة ولي منها ولد قال فمرها يقول عظها فإن يك فيها خير فستفعل ولا تضرب ظعينتك كضربك أميتك فقلت يا رسول الله أخبرني عن الوضوء قال أسبغ الوضوء وخلل بين الأصابع وبالغ في الاستنشاق إلا أن تكون صائما
