Sunan Abi Dawud 3430 (Book 24, Hadith 15) #23720
Entrusting Children to Certain Professions

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab heard a hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about entrusting children to people of certain professions and applied it in a situation where Abu Majidah had cut the ear of a boy.

AbuMajidah said: I cut the ear of a boy, or he cut my ear (the narrator is doubtful). AbuBakr then came to us to perform hajj and we got together with him. But he referred us to Umar ibn al-Khattab. Umar (ibn al-Khattab) said: This reached the extent of retaliation. Call a Cupper to me so that he may retaliate. When the Cupper was called, he (Umar) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: I gave a boy to my maternal aunt, and I hope that she will be blessed in respect of him. I said to her: Do not entrust him to a supper, nor to a goldsmith, nor to a butcher. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by 'Abd al-A'la from Ibn Ishaq who said: Abu Majidah is a man of Banu Sahm narrating from 'Umar b. al-Khattab.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ، قَالَ قَطَعْتُ مِنْ أُذُنِ غُلاَمٍ - أَوْ قُطِعَ مِنْ أُذُنِي - فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَاجًّا فَاجْتَمَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَرَفَعَنَا إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ بَلَغَ الْقِصَاصَ ادْعُوا لِي حَجَّامًا لِيَقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا دُعِيَ الْحَجَّامُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي وَهَبْتُ لِخَالَتِي غُلاَمًا وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُبَارَكَ لَهَا فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لاَ تُسَلِّمِيهِ حَجَّامًا وَلاَ صَائِغًا وَلاَ قَصَّابًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَاجِدَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about entrusting children to certain professions. Umar ibn al-Khattab heard a hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that said not to entrust children with supper, goldsmiths or butchers. When Abu Majidah cut the ear of a boy, Umar ibn al-Khattab applied this teaching and called for retaliation by having someone else's ear cut as well. This teaches us that we should be careful when it comes to our actions towards others and that we should take responsibility for our mistakes instead of running away from them or trying to hide them. It also teaches us that we should be mindful when it comes to who we trust with our children as some professions may not be suitable for them due to their age or other factors such as safety concerns.
