He related to him that he passed by, along with a companion of his, where Ayman and a group from Quraysh had untied their lower garments and were using them as twisted whips, striking one another with them while naked.Abdullah said, "When we passed by them, they said, 'These men are like priests, so leave them alone.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out upon them, and when they saw him, they scattered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned in anger and entered the house. I was behind the chamber, and I heard him say, 'Glory be to Allah! They felt no shame before Allah, nor did they conceal themselves from His Messenger.'"Umm Ayman was with him and said, "Messenger of Allah, ask forgiveness for them."Abdullah said, "He responded, 'Only with great reluctance will I ask forgiveness for them.'"Abdullah said, "I heard this from Harun."
حدثنا هارون حدثنا عبد الله بن وهب حدثنا عمرو أن سليمان بن زياد الحضرمي حدثه أن
حدثه أنه مر وصاحب له بأيمن وفئة من قريش قد حلوا أزرهم فجعلوها مخاريق يجتلدون بها وهم عراة قال عبد الله فلما مررنا بهم قالوا إن هؤلاء قسيسون فدعوهم ثم إن رسول الله ﷺ خرج عليهم فلما أبصروه تبددوا فرجع رسول الله ﷺ مغضبا حتى دخل وكنت أنا وراء الحجرة فسمعته يقول سبحان الله لا من الله استحيوا ولا من رسوله استتروا وأم أيمن عنده تقول استغفر لهم يا رسول الله قال عبد الله فبلأي ما أستغفر لهم قال عبد الله وسمعته أنا من هارون
Its isnad is sahih, and Amr is Ibn Harith the Egyptian, the trustworthy and reliable narrator, and likewise Sulayman bin Ziyad the Hadrami, also an Egyptian. Haythami attributed it (8/27) to Ahmad, Bazzar, Abu Yaala, and Tabarani, and said, "One of Tabarani's two isnads has trustworthy narrators."
