Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 21, Hadith 46

It was narrated from Abu Sakhrah, that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid and Abu Burdah said: “When Abu Musa was close to death, his wife started to scream.” They said: “He woke up and said: ‘Did I not tell you that I am free from what the Messenger of Allah is free?” They said: “He used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘I am free from the one who shaves his head, rends his garments or raises his voice in lamentation.”‘

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، وَأَبِي، بُرْدَةَ قَالاَ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ تَصِيحُ – قَالاَ – فَأَفَاقَ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أُخْبِرْكِ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّنْ بَرِئَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالاَ وَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
“‏ أَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِمَّنْ حَلَقَ وَخَرَقَ وَسَلَقَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 21, Hadith 46

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
