The reciter: Muhammad narrated to us, Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, Hisham narrated to us from his father, and Wahb ibn Kaysan said:
The Shaykh : This is an example of "that is a complaint whose disgrace is far from you." The complaint is the evil eye, and "whose disgrace is far from you" means its disgrace is distant from you. So its disgrace is not upon you. Rather, it is similar to another saying: "She threw her illness at me and slipped away," meaning, yes.
The people of Sham used to mock Ibn al-Zubayr, saying, "O son of the one with the two belts." Asma' said to him, "My son, they are mocking you with the two belts. Do you know what the two belts were? I cut my belt in half, tied the mouth of the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) water skin with one of them, and put the other in his travel bag." He said, "So when the people of Sham mocked him with the two belts, he would say, 'Indeed, by Allah, that is a complaint whose disgrace is far from you.'"
كان أهل الشأم يعيرون ابن الزبير يقولون يا ابن ذات النطاقين فقالت له أسماء يا بني إنهم يعيرونك بالنطاقين هل تدري ما كان النطاقان إنما كان نطاقي شققته نصفين فأوكيت قربة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بأحدهما وجعلت في سفرته آخر قال فكان أهل الشأم إذا عيروه بالنطاقين يقول إيهًا والإله تلك شكاة ظاهر عنك عارهاThe Shaykh : This is an example of "that is a complaint whose disgrace is far from you."
