Hadith No: 863
Narrated/Authority of Abu Rafi
"After the Messenger of Allah (saw) had prayed Asr, he would go to Banu Abdul-Ashhal to speak to them, until the time for Maghrib came." Abu Rafi said: "While the Prophet (saw) was hastening to pray Maghrib, we passed by Al-Baqi* and he said: 'Fie upon you, fie upon you!' That upset me so I slowed down, because I thought that he meant me. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Keep up!' I said: 'Is there something wrong?' He said: 'Why are you asking that?' I said: 'Because you said: "Fie on you" to me.' He said: 'No, that was so-and-so whom I had sent to collect Zakah from the tribe of so-and-so, and he stole a Namirah** and now he is clothed with something similar made of Fire.'" (Hasan)
*The graveyard of Al-Madinah.
** "Every garment including stripes which the Arabs wrap around the waist is called a Namirah, its plural is Namar. It is as if it refers to the colors of a Namir (leopard or tiger); because it contains white and black." (An-Nihayah)
