أَبِي وَجَدِّي ، وَكَانَا قَدْ شَهِدَا حُنَيْنًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالا : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ ، وَعُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ ، عُيَيْنَةَ يَطْلُبُ بِدَمِ الأَشْجَعِيِّ ، وَالأَقْرَعُ يَدْفَعُ عَنْهُ ، فَاخْتَصَمْنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَوِيلا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَلْ تَقْبَلُونَ الدِّيَةَ خَمْسِينَ فِي سَفَرِنَا وَخَمْسِينَ إِذَا رَجَعْنَا " ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ ، فَلَمَّا قَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ ، قَالُوا : أَيْنَ صَاحِبُكُمْ ؟ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ قَدْ تَهَيَّأَ فِيهَا لِلْقَتْلِ حَتَّى جَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا اسْمُكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَنَا مُحَلِّمُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ لا تَغْفِرْ لِمُحَلِّمِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ " فَقَامَ مِنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَلَقَّى دَمْعَهُ بِفَضْلِ رِدَائِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hadraad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us on a military expedition, in which I was included, and Abu Qatadah Ansari and Muhallim bin Jathamah bin Qais were also included. As we were going, ‘Amir bin al-Adbat Ashja‘i passed by us and he greeted us with the Islamic greeting of peace. We did not kill him, but then Muhallim bin Jathamah attacked and killed him, and seized his camel and fresh dates that he had with him. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Qur’an was revealed about us: “O you who believe! When you go forth in the cause of Allah, investigate...” (an-Nisa: 94) until the end of the verse.
‘Urwah bin Zubair says: My father and grandfather were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Hunayn. They told me: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer and then sat under the shade of a tree. Aqra‘ bin Habis and ‘Uyaynah bin Badr stood before him. ‘Uyaynah was demanding the blood of the Ashja‘i (the one killed), and Aqra‘ was defending him. So both of them argued for a long time before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take fifty camels of blood money during the journey and fifty after returning. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying this until they agreed to the blood money. When they agreed to take the blood money, they said: Where is your companion (Muhallim), so that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) may seek forgiveness for him? A tall man stood up, wearing a hullah (garment), and was ready to be killed. He sat before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he asked: What is your name? He said: I am Muhallim bin Jathamah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah not forgive Muhallim bin Jathamah. So he stood up, wiping his tears with his cloak.
