\nNarrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan:\n \n\n(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and \nwhen they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish \nconstituting the front of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right." By \nAllah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the march of the \nMuslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet (ﷺ) went on \nadvancing till he reached the Thaniya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to them \n(i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet (ﷺ) sat down. The people tried their best to cause \nthe she-camel to get up but in vain, so they said, "Al-Qaswa' (i.e. the she-camel's name) has become \nstubborn! Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, \nfor stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him Who stopped the elephant." Then he \nsaid, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me \nanything which will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them." \nThe Prophet (ﷺ) then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) changed his way till he \ndismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which the \npeople used in small amounts, and in a short while the people used up all its water and complained to \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ); of thirst. The Prophet (ﷺ) took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered them to put the \narrow in that pit. By Allah, the water started and continued sprouting out till all the people quenched \ntheir thirst and returned with satisfaction. While they were still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al- \nKhuza`i came with some persons from his tribe Khuza`a and they were the advisers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) \nwho would keep no secret from him and were from the people of Tihama. Budail said, "I left Ka`b bin \nLuai and 'Amir bin Luai residing at the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or \ntheir women and children) with them, and will wage war against you, and will prevent you from \nvisiting the Ka`ba." \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We have not come to fight anyone, but to perform the `Umra. No doubt, the war \nhas weakened Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so if they wish, I will conclude a truce with \nthem, during which they should refrain from interfering between me and the people (i.e. the 'Arab \ninfidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over those infidels, Quraish will have the option to \nembrace Islam as the other people do, if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to fight. But if \nthey do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will fight with them defending my \nCause till I get killed, but (I am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause victorious." Budail said, "I \nwill inform them of what you have said." So, he set off till he reached Quraish and said, "We have \ncome from that man (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying something which we will disclose to \nyou if you should like." Some of the fools among Quraish shouted that they were not in need of this \ninformation, but the wiser among them said, "Relate what you heard him saying." Budail said, "I \nheard him saying so-and-so," relating what the Prophet (ﷺ) had told him. \n`Urwa bin Mas`ud got up and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They said, "Yes." He added, "Am \nI not the father?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust me?" They said, "No." He said, "Don't \nyou know that I invited the people of `Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my \nrelatives and children and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Well, this \nman (i.e. the Prophet) has offered you a reasonable proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to \nmeet him." They said, "You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and started talking to him. \nThe Prophet (ﷺ) told him almost the same as he had told Budail. Then `Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't \nyou feel any scruple in extirpating your relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst the Arabs \nextirpating his relatives before you? On the other hand, if the reverse should happen, (nobody will aid \nyou, for) by Allah, I do not see (with you) dignified people, but people from various tribes who would \nrun away leaving you alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused him and said, "Do you say we would run \nand leave the Prophet (ﷺ) alone?" `Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr." `Urwa \nsaid to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, were it not for the favor which you did to me \nand which I did not compensate, I would retort on you." `Urwa kept on talking to the Prophet (ﷺ) and \nseizing the Prophet's beard as he was talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba was standing near the head \nof the Prophet, holding a sword and wearing a helmet. Whenever `Urwa stretched his hand towards \nthe beard of the Prophet, Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of the sword and say (to \n`Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." `Urwa raised his head and asked, \n"Who is that?" The people said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba." `Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I not \ndoing my best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?" \nBefore embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He killed them and took \ntheir property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him, "As regards your \nIslam, I accept it, but as for the property I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through treason). \n`Urwa then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By Allah, whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) \nspat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it \non his face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed \nablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would \nlower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. `Urwa returned to his \npeople and said, "O people! By Allah, I have been to the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An- \nNajashi, yet I have never seen any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is \nrespected by his companions. \nBy Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) \nwho would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately; \nif he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke, they \nwould lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect." `Urwa added, "No \ndoubt, he has presented to you a good reasonable offer, so please accept it." A man from the tribe of \nBani Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they allowed him, and when he approached the \nProphet and his companions, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He is so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that \nrespects the Budn (i.e. camels of the sacrifice). \nSo, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn were brought before him and the people received \nhim while they were reciting Talbiya. When he saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is not \nfair to prevent these people from visiting the Ka`ba." When he returned to his people, he said, 'I saw \nthe Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked (with stabs on their backs). I do not think \nit is advisable to prevent them from visiting the Ka`ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got up \nand sought their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When he approached the \nMuslims, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Here is Mikraz and he is a vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the \nProphet and as he was talking, Suhail bin `Amr came. \nWhen Suhail bin `Amr came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Now the matter has become easy." Suhail said to the \nProphet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) called the clerk and said to him, \n"Write: By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail said, "As for \n'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: By Your Name O Allah, as you used to \nwrite previously." The Muslims said, "By Allah, we will not write except: By the Name of Allah, the \nmost Beneficent, the most Merciful." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Write: By Your Name O Allah." Then he \ndictated, "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has concluded." Suhail said, "By \nAllah, if we knew that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you from visiting the Ka`ba, and \nwould not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin `Abdullah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah! I am \nApostle of Allah even if you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad bin `Abdullah." \n(Az-Zuhri said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) accepted all those things, as he had already said that he would accept \neverything they would demand if it respects the ordinance of Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his \ncompanions perform `Umra.)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Suhail, "On the condition that you allow us to visit \nthe House (i.e. Ka`ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around it." Suhail said, "By Allah, we will not \n(allow you this year) so as not to give chance to the 'Arabs to say that we have yielded to you, but we \nwill allow you next year." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) got that written. \nThen Suhail said, "We also stipulate that you should return to us whoever comes to you from us, even \nif he embraced your religion." The Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will such a person be \nreturned to the pagans after he has become a Muslim? While they were in this state Abu- Jandal bin \nSuhail bin `Amr came from the valley of Mecca staggering with his fetters and fell down amongst the \nMuslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad! This is the very first term with which we make peace with you, \ni.e. you shall return Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The peace treaty has not been written yet." \nSuhail said, "I will never allow you to keep him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.: \nMikraz said, "We allow you (to keep him)." Abu Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will I be returned to the \npagans though I have come as a Muslim? Don't you see how much I have suffered?" \n(continued...) \n(continuing... 1): -3.891:... ... \nAbu Jandal had been tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "I went to \nthe Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'Aren't you truly the Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said, \n'Isn't our Cause just and the cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be \nhumble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I do not disobey Him, and He will make \nme victorious.' I said, 'Didn't you tell us that we would go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?' \nHe said, 'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you \nwill visit it and perform Tawaf around it?' " `Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu \nBakr! Isn't he truly Allah's Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be humble in our \nreligion?' He said, 'Indeed, he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will make \nhim victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I said, 'Was he not telling us that we \nwould go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would \ngo to the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it." \n(Az-Zuhri said, " `Umar said, 'I performed many good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I \nasked them.' ") \nWhen the writing of the peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to his companions, "Get up \nand' slaughter your sacrifices and get your head shaved." By Allah none of them got up, and the \nProphet repeated his order thrice. When none of them got up, he left them and went to Um Salama and \ntold her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um Salama said, "O the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah! Do you want \nyour order to be carried out? Go out and don't say a word to anybody till you have slaughtered your \nsacrifice and call your barber to shave your head." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and did not talk to anyone \nof them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing \nthat, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) got up, slaughtered their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads \nof one another, and there was so much rush that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some \nbelieving women came (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ); and Allah revealed the following Divine Verses:-- \n"O you who believe, when the believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ." (60.10) \n`Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan married \none of them, and Safwan bin Umaiya married the other. When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Medina, Abu \nBasir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who \nsaid (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) handed him over to them. \nThey took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some \ndates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see you have a \nfine sword." The other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried \nit many times." Abu Basir said, "Let me have a look at it." \nWhen the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till he came \nto Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him he said, "This man \nappears to have been frightened." When he reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "My companion has been \nmurdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by \nAllah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but \nAllah has saved me from them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war kindler he \nwould be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) \nwould return him to them again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got \nhimself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish \nembraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they \nheard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them \n(i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet (ﷺ) \nrequesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) \npromising that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) would be secure. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for \nthem (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed the following Divine Verses: \n"And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of \nMecca, After He made you the victorious over them. ... the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in \ntheir hearts ... the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and \nhaughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the \nProphet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most \nMerciful," and they (the mushriks) prevented them (the Muslims) from visiting the House (the Ka`bah).\n

\nNarrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan:\n \n\n(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and \nwhen they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish \nconstituting the front of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right." By \nAllah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the march of the \nMuslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish.

Then he \nsaid, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me \nanything which will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them." \nThe Prophet (ﷺ) then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) changed his way till he \ndismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which the \npeople used in small amounts, and in a short while the people used up all its water and complained to \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ); of thirst. The Prophet (ﷺ) took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered them to put the \narrow in that pit.

So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and did not talk to anyone \nof them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing \nthat, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) got up, slaughtered their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads \nof one another, and there was so much rush that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some \nbelieving women came (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ); and Allah revealed the following Divine Verses:-- \n"O you who believe, when the believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ." (60.10) \n`Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan married \none of them, and Safwan bin Umaiya married the other. When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Medina, Abu \nBasir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who \nsaid (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) handed him over to them. \nThey took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some \ndates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see you have a \nfine sword." The other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried \nit many times." Abu Basir said, "Let me have a look at it." \nWhen the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till he came \nto Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him he said, "This man \nappears to have been frightened." When he reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "My companion has been \nmurdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by \nAllah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but \nAllah has saved me from them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war kindler he \nwould be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) \nwould return him to them again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got \nhimself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish \nembraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they \nheard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them \n(i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet (ﷺ) \nrequesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) \npromising that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) would be secure. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for \nthem (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed the following Divine Verses: \n"And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of \nMecca, After He made you the victorious over them. ... the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in \ntheir hearts ... the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and \nhaughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the \nProphet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most \nMerciful," and they (the mushriks) prevented them (the Muslims) from visiting the House (the Ka`bah).\n

قُلْتُ لاَ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ آتِيهِ وَمُطَّوِّفٌ بِهِ‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَعَمِلْتُ لِذَلِكَ أَعْمَالاً‏.‏ قَالَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قَضِيَّةِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏"‏ قُومُوا فَانْحَرُوا، ثُمَّ احْلِقُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَامَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ حَتَّى قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَذَكَرَ لَهَا مَا لَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، أَتُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ اخْرُجْ ثُمَّ لاَ تُكَلِّمْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ كَلِمَةً حَتَّى تَنْحَرَ بُدْنَكَ، وَتَدْعُوَ حَالِقَكَ فَيَحْلِقَكَ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ، حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ نَحَرَ بُدْنَهُ، وَدَعَا حَالِقَهُ فَحَلَقَهُ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ، قَامُوا فَنَحَرُوا، وَجَعَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَحْلِقُ بَعْضًا، حَتَّى كَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضًا غَمًّا، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مُؤْمِنَاتٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّ‏}‏ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ‏{‏بِعِصَمِ الْكَوَافِرِ‏}‏ فَطَلَّقَ عُمَرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا لَهُ فِي الشِّرْكِ، فَتَزَوَّجَ إِحْدَاهُمَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَالأُخْرَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ ـ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ـ وَهْوَ مُسْلِمٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا فِي طَلَبِهِ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَقَالُوا الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَ لَنَا‏.‏ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى الرَّجُلَيْنِ، فَخَرَجَا بِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَا ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ، فَنَزَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ تَمْرٍ لَهُمْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لأَحَدِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرَى سَيْفَكَ هَذَا يَا فُلاَنُ جَيِّدًا‏.‏ فَاسْتَلَّهُ الآخَرُ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَجَيِّدٌ، لَقَدْ جَرَّبْتُ بِهِ ثُمَّ جَرَّبْتُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ أَرِنِي أَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَمْكَنَهُ مِنْهُ، فَضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى بَرَدَ، وَفَرَّ الآخَرُ، حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يَعْدُو‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ رَآهُ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ رَأَى هَذَا ذُعْرًا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ قُتِلَ وَاللَّهِ صَاحِبِي وَإِنِّي لَمَقْتُولٌ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، قَدْ وَاللَّهِ أَوْفَى اللَّهُ ذِمَّتَكَ، قَدْ رَدَدْتَنِي إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ أَنْجَانِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ‏.‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ وَيْلُ أُمِّهِ مِسْعَرَ حَرْبٍ، لَوْ كَانَ لَهُ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ سَيَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى سِيفَ الْبَحْرِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَيَنْفَلِتُ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلٍ، فَلَحِقَ بِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ، فَجَعَلَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ إِلاَّ لَحِقَ بِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَتْ مِنْهُمْ عِصَابَةٌ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَسْمَعُونَ بِعِيرٍ خَرَجَتْ لِقُرَيْشٍ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ إِلاَّ اعْتَرَضُوا لَهَا، فَقَتَلُوهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تُنَاشِدُهُ بِاللَّهِ وَالرَّحِمِ لَمَّا أَرْسَلَ، فَمَنْ أَتَاهُ فَهْوَ آمِنٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَيْهِمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ‏}‏ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ‏{‏الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ‏}‏ وَكَانَتْ حَمِيَّتُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُقِرُّوا أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ، وَلَمْ يُقِرُّوا بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَحَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ‏.‏
