عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ فِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنَ الْأَحْزَابِ عَنِ الْخَنْدَقِ جَمَعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ مَكَانِي وَيَسْمَعُونَ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْلُو الْأُمُورَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا مُنْكَرًا وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَأْيًا فَمَا تَرَوْنَ فِيهِ قَالُوا وَمَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ نَلْحَقَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ فَنَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ فَإِنْ ظَهَرَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلَى قَوْمِنَا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّجَاشِيِّ فَإِنَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَإِنْ ظَهَرَ قَوْمُنَا فَنَحْنُ مَنْ قَدْ عُرِفَ فَلَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّأْيَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ فَاجْمَعُوا لَهُ مَا نُهْدِي لَهُ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ مَا يُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا الْأَدَمَ فَجَمَعْنَا لَهُ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَعِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَاءَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ بَعَثَهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي هَذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ لَوْ قَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ فَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَأَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنِّي قَدْ أَجْزَأْتُ عَنْهَا حِينَ قَتَلْتُ رَسُولَ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَجَدْتُ لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِصَدِيقِي أَهْدَيْتَ لِي مِنْ بِلَادِكَ شَيْئًا قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ قَدْ أَهْدَيْتُ لَكَ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْجَبَهُ وَاشْتَهَاهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَهُوَ رَسُولُ رَجُلٍ عَدُوٍّ لَنَا فَأَعْطِنِيهِ لِأَقْتُلَهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا وَخِيَارِنَا قَالَ فَغَضِبَ ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا أَنْفَهُ ضَرْبَةً ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ قَدْ كَسَرَهُ فَلَوِ انْشَقَّتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ لَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا فَرَقًا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ هَذَا مَا سَأَلْتُكَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَتَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ رَسُولَ رَجُلٍ يَأْتِيهِ النَّامُوسُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مُوسَى لِتَقْتُلَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَكَذَاكَ هُوَ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ يَا عَمْرُو أَطِعْنِي وَاتَّبِعْهُ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَعَلَى الْحَقِّ وَلَيَظْهَرَنَّ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُ كَمَا ظَهَرَ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجُنُودِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَبَايِعْنِي لَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي وَقَدْ حَالَ رَأْيِي عَمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَتَمْتُ أَصْحَابِي إِسْلَامِي ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ عَامِدًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُسْلِمَ فَلَقِيتُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَذَلِكَ قُبَيْلَ الْفَتْحِ وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقَامَ الْمَنْسِمُ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَنَبِيٌّ أَذْهَبُ وَاللَّهِ أُسْلِمُ فَحَتَّى مَتَى قَالَ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْتُ إِلَّا لِأُسْلِمَ قَالَ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدِمَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَبَايَعَ ثُمَّ دَنَوْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي وَلَا أَذْكُرُ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {يَا عَمْرُو بَايِعْ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَإِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ تَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهَا} قَالَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَانَ مَعَهُمَا أَسْلَمَ حِينَ أَسْلَمَا
It is narrated from Habib bin Aws that Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) directly told me that when we returned from the Battle of Ahzab from the trench, I gathered some of those Quraysh people who understood my status and listened to me attentively. I said to them: By Allah! You know that in my view, Muhammad’s call will surely prevail over all, and we do not like it. I have an opinion; now you tell me what you think about it? They said: Yes, what is your opinion? I said: I think we should go to Najashi and stay there. If Muhammad prevails over our people, we will be with Najashi, and being under Najashi is more preferable to us than being under Muhammad. And if our people prevail, we are well-known, and we will receive only good from them. The people said: Indeed, your opinion is appropriate. Then I said to them: Gather wealth to give him gifts; he liked the leather from our region as a present very much. So we collected a lot of leather to give him and set out and reached him. By Allah! We were with him when Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri also arrived there. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent him there to discuss the matter of Ja’far and his companions. He came to him and then left. Now I said to my companions: This is Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri; if I go to Najashi and ask him to hand him over to me, he will do so, and I will kill him, and the Quraysh will acknowledge that I have fulfilled their right by killing Muhammad’s envoy. So I went to his court and, as soon as I entered, performed a prostration of respect, as I used to do before. He said: Welcome, friend! Have you brought any gift for me from your homeland? I said: Yes, O King! I have brought a large quantity of leather for you. Then I presented it to him; he liked it very much and expressed that he needed it. After that, I said: O King! I saw a man here who has just left your place; he is the envoy of our enemy. Hand him over to me so that I may kill him; he is the killer of our honorable and best people. Hearing this, Najashi became enraged. He stretched out his hand and struck his own nose so hard that I feared he might have broken his nasal bone. Out of fear, I felt that if the earth were to split open, I would enter it. Then I said: O King! By Allah, if I had known that this would displease you so much, I would never have made such a request. Najashi said: The angel who used to come to Musa (peace be upon him) now comes to the man you speak of; should I hand over his envoy to you so that you may kill him? I said: O King! Is he really like that? He said: O Amr! Woe to you, obey me and follow him. By Allah, he is surely upon the truth, and he will certainly prevail over his opponents, just as Musa (peace be upon him) prevailed over Pharaoh and his armies. I said: Take my pledge of allegiance for Islam in his favor. Najashi said: Very well. So he extended his hand, and I pledged allegiance to him for Islam. Then I went back to my companions, while my opinion had completely changed from before, but I concealed my acceptance of Islam from my companions. Then I set out towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to become Muslim. I met Khalid bin Walid, who was coming from Makkah; this was before the conquest of Makkah. I asked him: Abu Sulaiman! Where are you coming from? He said: By Allah! The path has become clear; Muhammad is surely a Prophet. By Allah, I am going to become Muslim. How long will I keep wandering here and there? I said: By Allah, I too have come only to accept Islam. We reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Khalid bin Walid went ahead. He accepted Islam and pledged allegiance. After him, I also approached and said: O Messenger of Allah! I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that all my previous sins are forgiven, and I forgot to mention the sins that may occur later. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Amr! Pledge allegiance; indeed, Islam wipes out all previous sins, and migration erases all previous sins. So I pledged allegiance to him and then returned. Ibn Ishaq says: A man whom I consider trustworthy narrated to me that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talha bin Abi Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with both of them; when these two entered Islam, he also became Muslim with them.
