    Question A scorpion biting Imam Malik while he is teaching Hadith



    There is a famous story of Imam Dar al-Hijrah, Malik bin Anas that he once was teaching Hadith in the Prophet's Mosque, when a scorpion (?) came and bit him several times. Inspite of the severe pain, he continued teaching in respect for the Hadith.

    Does anyone have the full story with all the details? Both Arabic and English fine

    المدخل إلى السنن الكبرى للبيهقي - (2 / 90)
    قال : قال عبد الله بن المبارك : كنت عند مالك بن أنس وهو يحدثنا فجاء العقرب فلدغته ست عشرة مرة ومالك يتغير لونه ويتصبر ولا يقطع حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما فرغ من المجلس وتفرق الناس قلت : يا أبا عبد الله لقد رأيت منك عجبا قال : « نعم أنا صبرت إجلالا لحديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم »
    Sahabah رضي الله عنهم would cling fast to the Sunnah, on account of it being Sunnah, while we discard the Sunnah, on account of it being (just) Sunnah!

    Here is the translation:

    The entrance to the Sunan al-Kubra of Bayhaqi - (2 / 90)
    Said: "Abdullah bin Mubarak: I was at the Malik bin Anas, a scorpion came to tell us Veldgth sixteen times and the owner of discoloration and patient He does not interrupt the hadeeth of the Messenger of God peace be upon him when he finished the Council and the people dispersed I said: O Abu Abdullah, I saw you screamed He said: «Yes, I am patient in tribute to the hadeeth of the Messenger of God peace be upon him

    Forgive me, brother, but this translation (by Google Translate) makes no sense at all; what is, for example, the meaning of "a scorpion came to tell us Veldgth sixteen times"? and why someone who is supposed be patient screaming?

    Anyway, here is a quick translation of the passage:

    al-Madkhal ila l-Sunan al-Kubrā lil-Bayhaqī - (2 / 90)
    [The narrator] related: ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Mubārak said: I was with Mālik b. Anas while he was relating hadiths to us. A scorpion came and stung him sixteen times. Mālik became pale, but he remained composed without interrupting the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. After he finished the session and the people had dispersed, I said: O Abū ʿAbd Allāh, I saw you doing something amazing. He said: Yes, I remained composed out of reverence for the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

    والسلام
