Explanation Needed For Muslim 2771
Fair enough, makes sense. Thank you for the help! I found another narration of this in an another book of hadith which uses the wording “Take this sword and go. If you find him with her then kill him”, followed by the stuff Ali R.A said in the Musnad Ahmed Hadith. https://shamela.ws/book/12981/804#p1 This already changes the theme from a direct execution command to a more conditional and investigative tone. So yeah, there is plenty of nuance and missing context here.
