English narration

Narrated by ميمونة بنت كردم الثقفية

Ibrahim bin Maisarah reported from his maternal aunt who reported on the authority of a woman called Mussaddaqah (a truthful woman). She said “In pre Islamic days, when my father participated in a battle the feet of the people burnt due to intense heat. Thereupon a man said “Who gives me his shoes, I shall marry him to my first daughter born to me. My father took off his shoes and there them before him. A girl was thereafter born to him and came of age. ” The narrator then mentioned a similar story. But he did not mention that she had grown old.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ ، قَالَتْ : هِيَ مُصَدَّقَةٌ امْرَأَةُ صِدْقٍ ، قَالَتْ : بَيْنَا أَبِي فِي غَزَاةٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذْ رَمِضُوا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ يُعْطِينِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُنْكِحُهُ أَوَّلَ بِنْتٍ تُولَدُ لِي ؟ فَخَلَعَ أَبِي نَعْلَيْهِ ، فَأَلْقَاهُمَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَوُلِدَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ فَبَلَغَتْ ، وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قِصَّةَ الْقَتِيرِ .
