Sunan Ibn Majah, 3492

Rapporté par Muhammad bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin Zurarah Al-Ansari : J’ai entendu mon oncle paternel Yahya – et je n’ai jamais vu un homme comme lui parmi nous – dire aux gens que Sa’d bin Zurarah, le grand-père maternel de Muhammad, souffrait d’un mal de gorge appelé croup. Le Prophète (ﷺ) a dit : « Je ferai de mon mieux pour Abu Umamah, afin d’être excusé (c’est-à-dire, innocent si la guérison n’arrive pas). » Il l’a alors cautérisé de sa propre main, mais il est décédé. Le Prophète (ﷺ) a dit : « Que les Juifs soient maudits ! Ils diront : “Pourquoi n’a-t-il pas pu empêcher la mort de ses compagnons ?” Mais je n’ai aucun pouvoir pour lui ni pour moi-même. »

Muhammad bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin Zurarah Al-Ansari said:“I heard my paternal uncle Yahya – and I have not seen a man among us like him – tell the people that Sa'd bin Zurarah, who was the grandfather of Muhammad through his mother, was suffering from pain in his throat, known as croup. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I shall do my best for Abu Umamah.’ Such that I will be excused (i.e., free of blame if he is not healed). And he cauterized him with his own hand, but he died. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘May the Jews be doomed! They will say: “Why could he not avert death from his Companions?” But I have no power to do anything for him or for my own self.’”
