وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ مُرَّةُ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ مِنَ الْحَارِثِ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: اقْعُدْ بِالْبَابِ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ مُرَّةُ وَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ، قَالَ: وَأَحَسَّ الْحَارِثُ بِالشَّرِّ فَذَهَبَ.
Translation: Through Qutaybah, Jarīr and Ḥamzah al-Zayyāt it is reported that Murrah al-Hamdānī heard something from al-Ḥārith and asked him to sit by the door. Murrah went inside and took his sword; al-Ḥārith sensed danger and departed.
«أَحَسَّ الْحَارِثُ بِالشَّرِّ» says al-Ḥārith sensed danger; the account does not report a killing or even a completed attack. Nor does the unspecified “something” tell us precisely what Murrah heard.
The incident records a strongly negative historical reaction. It does not itself establish the missing words spoken or create a legal authorization for violence.
