His brother or uncle stood up to address the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My neighbors, for what have they been seized?" The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him.He repeated, "My neighbors, for what have they been seized?" Again the Prophet ﷺ turned away from him.He said once more, "My neighbors, for what have they been seized?" And again the Prophet ﷺ turned away.Then the man said, "If I say this, people are claiming that Muhammad forbids wrongdoing yet keeps it to himself."The Prophet ﷺ said what he said. Then the man's brother or nephew rose and said, "Messenger of Allah, he is, he is..."The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You have indeed said it," or, "your spokesman has said it. Even if I were doing that, it would be upon me, and what concern is it of yours? Release his neighbors to him."
حدثنا إسماعيل أخبرنا
أن أخاه أو عمه قام إلى النبي ﷺ فقال جيراني بما أخذوا فأعرض عنه قال جيراني بما أخذوا فأعرض عنه ثم قال جيراني بما أخذوا فأعرض عنه قال لئن قلت ذاك لقد زعم الناس أن محمدا ينهى عن الغي ويستخلي به فقال النبي ﷺ ما قال فقام أخوه أو ابن أخيه فقال يا رسول الله إنه إنه فقال أما لقد قلتموها أو قال قائلكم ولئن كنت أفعل ذلك إنه لعلي وما هو عليكم خلوا له عن جيرانه
