Hadith 11670
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ فَقَالَ ”انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا“ فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ فَقُلْنَا أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ قَالَتْ مَا مَعِي مِنْ كِتَابٍ قُلْنَا لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنَقْلِبَنَّ الثِّيَابَ قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَتِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا فَأَخَذْنَا الْكِتَابَ فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”يَا حَاطِبُ مَا هَذَا“ قَالَ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهَا وَكَانَ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَهُمْ قَرَابَاتٌ يَحْمُونَ أَهْلِيهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ فِيهِمْ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ بِهَا قَرَابَتِي وَمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ كُفْرًا وَلَا ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي وَلَا رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَكُمْ“ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ فَقَالَ ”إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna Zubair, and Sayyiduna Miqdad, and said: Go, until you reach the garden of Khakh, there will be a traveling woman with a letter, take that letter from her. So we set out, our horses galloping, until we reached that garden, and indeed there was a woman present. We said to her: Hand over the letter. She said: I have no letter. We said: Hand over the letter, otherwise we will strip your clothes off. Hearing this, she took the letter out from her hair braid. We took it and reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In that letter, the following was written: This letter is from Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah to the polytheists of Makkah, ... He was informing them of some matters of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Hatib! What is this? He said: Do not be hasty with me (I will explain in detail). The matter is that I was connected to the Quraysh due to a pact, and I was not one of them by lineage. The emigrants who are with you have relatives among the Quraysh, because of which they protect their relatives in Makkah. When I saw that I had no lineage connection with the Quraysh, I thought that if I did them a favor, they would also protect my relatives (for this purpose I did this), nor did I do this act out of disbelief, nor by turning away from my religion, nor by preferring disbelief after Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the truth is that this man has spoken the truth to you. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allow me, I will strike the neck of this hypocrite. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He was present at Badr, and you do not know that Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: Do whatever you wish from today onwards, I have forgiven you.
Hadith 11671
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ غَزْوَهُمْ فَدَلَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah informing them that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to attack them, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed the noble Companions about the woman who had that letter … The rest of the hadith is similar to the previous hadith.
Hadith 11672
قَالَ جَاءَ عَبْدٌ لِحَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَحَدُ بَنِي أَسَدٍ يَشْتَكِي سَيِّدَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ حَاطِبٌ النَّارَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”كَذَبْتَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the slave of Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was from the tribe of Banu Asad, came and complained about his master, saying: O Messenger of Allah! Hatib will surely enter Hell. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: You are wrong in what you say; he has attained the honor of participating in Badr and Hudaybiyyah, (and those who participated in Badr and Hudaybiyyah will not enter Hell).
