حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الأَحْوَلُ، أَنَّ طَاوُسًا، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏:‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ بِإِنْسَانٍ يَقُودُهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ فِي أَنْفِهِ، فَقَطَعَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقُودَهُ بِيَدِهِ ‏.‏
The Prophet (ﷺ) while going round the Ka'bah passed a man who was led with a ring of bridle in his nose. The Prophet (ﷺ) cut it off with his hand and ordered to lead him by catching his hand.
Narrated by Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Context

Ibn 'Abbas narrates an incident where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) encounters a man being led by a bridle in his nose while circling the Ka'bah. The Prophet (ﷺ) cuts the bridle and instructs the man to be led by hand instead. This act reflects the Prophet's compassion and his commitment to treating individuals with dignity.

Modern Application

This principle can be applied today in advocating for humane treatment and respect for individuals, regardless of their circumstances. It encourages us to approach others with kindness and to seek ways to empower rather than restrict.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Intention and Deeds and Prophetic Command because it illustrates the importance of compassion and the Prophet's guidance in treating others with respect.
