حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ مُعْتَمِرًا ، قَالَ : فَنَزَلَ عَلَى أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ وَكَانَ أُمَيَّةُ إِذَا انْطَلَقَ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ فَمَرَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَزَلَ عَلَى سَعْدٍ ، فَقَالَ : أُمَيَّةُ لِسَعْدٍ انْتَظِرْ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ وَغَفَلَ النَّاسُ انْطَلَقْتُ فَطُفْتُ فَبَيْنَا سَعْدٌ يَطُوفُ إِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ : أَنَا سَعْدٌ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ : تَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ آمِنًا وَقَدْ آوَيْتُمْ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ ، فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ فَتَلَاحَيَا بَيْنَهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : أُمَيَّةُ لسَعْدٍ لَا تَرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَكَمِ فَإِنَّهُ سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْوَادِي ، ثُمّ قَالَ : سَعْدٌ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ مَنَعْتَنِي أَنْ أَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ لَأَقْطَعَنَّ مَتْجَرَكَ بِالشَّامِ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ أُمَيَّةُ ، يَقُولُ لِسَعْدٍ لَا تَرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ وَجَعَلَ يُمْسِكُهُ فَغَضِبَ سَعْدٌ ، فَقَالَ : دَعْنَا عَنْكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلُكَ ، قَالَ : " إِيَّايَ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا يَكْذِبُ مُحَمَّدٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا تَعْلَمِينَ مَا قَالَ لِي : أَخِي الْيَثْرِبِيُّ ، قَالَتْ : وَمَا قَالَ : قَالَ : زَعَمَ أَنَّه سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلِي ، قَالَتْ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَكْذِبُ مُحَمَّدٌ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا إِلَى بَدْرٍ وَجَاءَ الصَّرِيخُ ، قَالَتْ : لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَمَا ذَكَرْتَ مَا قَالَ : لَكَ أَخُوكَ الْيَثْرِبِيُّ ، قَالَ : فَأَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ ، فَقَالَ : لَهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْوَادِي فَسِرْ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ فَسَارَ مَعَهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: Sa`d bin Mu`adh came to Mecca with the intention of performing `Umra, and stayed at the house of Umaiya bin Khalaf Abi Safwan, for Umaiya himself used to stay at Sa`d's house when he passed by Medina on his way to Sham. Umaiya said to Sa`d, "Will you wait till midday when the people are (at their homes), then you may go and perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba?" So, while Sa`d was going around the Ka`ba, Abu Jahl came and asked, "Who is that who is performing Tawaf?" Sa`d replied, "I am Sa`d." Abu Jahl said, "Are you circumambulating the Ka`ba safely although you have given refuge to Muhammad and his companions?" Sa`d said, "Yes," and they started quarreling. Umaiya said to Sa`d, "Don't shout at Abi-l-Hakam (i.e. Abu Jahl), for he is chief of the valley (of Mecca)." Sa`d then said (to Abu Jahl). 'By Allah, if you prevent me from performing the Tawaf of the Ka`ba, I will spoil your trade with Sham." Umaiya kept on saying to Sa`d, "Don't raise your voice." and kept on taking hold of him. Sa`d became furious and said, (to Umaiya), "Be away from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying that he will kill you." Umaiiya said, "Will he kill me?" Sa`d said, "Yes,." Umaiya said, "By Allah! When Muhammad says a thing, he never tells a lie." Umaiya went to his wife and said to her, "Do you know what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Medina) has said to me?" She said, "What has he said?" He said, "He claims that he has heard Muhammad claiming that he will kill me." She said, By Allah! Muhammad never tells a lie." So when the infidels started to proceed for Badr (Battle) and declared war (against the Muslims), his wife said to him, "Don't you remember what your brother from Yathrib told you?" Umaiya decided not to go but Abu Jahl said to him, "You are from the nobles of the valley (of Mecca), so you should accompany us for a day or two." He went with them and thus Allah got him killed.

Hadith Commentary:
This prophecy was fulfilled. Umayyah did not want to go to the Battle of Badr, but Abu Jahl forcibly seized him and took him along. In the end, he was killed at the hands of the Muslims. Among the signs of prophethood, this prophecy also holds an important place. The truth of the prophecy became manifest. In the words of the hadith, "Innahu qatiluka" ("Indeed, he will kill you"), the pronoun refers to Abu Jahl—that he will cause you to be killed. Some translators have taken the pronoun in "Innahu" to refer to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but in view of the context and the place and occasion of the narration, our translation is also correct. And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Umayyah bin Khalaf was a corpulent and robust man and a chief among the people of Makkah, while Sa’d bin Mu’adh radi Allahu anhu was a chief among the Ansar.
A bond of brotherhood had existed between these two chiefs since the pre-Islamic era.
When Umayyah would travel to Syria for trade, he would stay with him (Sa’d) in Madinah, and when Sa’d radi Allahu anhu would visit Makkah, he would stay with him (Umayyah).
➋
This hadith is a proof of prophethood, as the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam informed Umayyah of his impending death, and indeed he was killed at Badr.
In addition, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had also supplicated against the chiefs of Quraysh, among whom Umayyah was included.
Ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu says that he saw all those people dead in the field of Badr, being dragged and thrown into a blind well.
Since Umayyah was heavyset, when they began to drag him, his body was torn to pieces.
Thus, he was left there.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Jizyah, Hadith: 3185)
➌
Sa’d bin Mu’adh radi Allahu anhu was struck by an arrow in the Akhal vein during the Battle of Khandaq, which proved fatal.
The details of this are also present in the ahadith.
➍
When Sa’d informed Umayyah that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would kill him, he asked:
“Will he kill me in Makkah?” Sa’d replied:
“I do not know where he will kill you.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Maghazi, Hadith: 3950)
On this basis, Umayyah would not leave Makkah.
When the disbelievers of Quraysh set out towards Badr, he had firmly resolved not to leave Makkah with them.
Uqbah bin Abi Mu’it taunted him, saying, “The chief has stayed at home like women,” so he reluctantly agreed to go with them.

Hadith Commentary:
The chapter is derived from the fact that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) foretold the killing of Umayyah even before he was killed.
Kirmani has explained the words "Innahum qatilook" as meaning that Abu Jahl and his companions will have you killed.
Umayyah was astonished at this because Abu Jahl was his friend; he wondered how Abu Jahl could have him killed.
In this context, "having killed" means that he would become the cause of your killing.
And so it happened.
Umayyah was not willing to go to the Battle of Badr, but Abu Jahl forcibly took him along.
Umayyah knew that whatever Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said would certainly come to pass.
Even though he took a swift camel with him to escape back, that camel proved of no use, and Umayyah was also killed in the Battle of Badr.
It was none other than Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) who killed him, whom Umayyah used to inflict the harshest of tortures upon in earlier times.
Sa’d (radi Allahu anhu) warned Abu Jahl about this, since the people of Makkah used to travel to Syria via Madinah, and their trade depended entirely on trade with Syria.
Some commentators have interpreted "Innahum qatilook" as referring to the Muslims, and have considered Kirmani’s statement to be a misconception.
(Qastallani)
In any case, whatever Sa’d (radi Allahu anhu) had said, Allah fulfilled it, and Umayyah was killed in the Battle of Badr.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
The relevance of this hadith to the chapter heading is as follows: the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had foretold about Umayyah long before that he would be killed. However, the hadith we have cited from Sahih Muslim is more appropriate to this chapter heading, because in it, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on the night of Badr pointed out, "This is the place of so-and-so's killing, and this is the place of so-and-so's," etc.
And Allah knows best.
2.
Allamah Kirmani (rahimahullah) has adopted the position that Abu Jahl and his companions would kill him.
Although it was the Muslims who killed him, Abu Jahl was the cause of his killing because it was he who forced Umayyah to leave Makkah; therefore, attributing the killing to Abu Jahl and his companions is correct.
(Hashiyat Kirmani: 188/7)
However, by adopting this position, the hadith would have no relevance to the chapter heading. Furthermore, Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has written that this very hadith is sufficient to refute this position, because in it, he (Umayyah) had said to his wife that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had informed about him that "they are my killers."
There is not even a mention of Abu Jahl here.
On this basis, Allamah Kirmani was mistaken.
(Fath al-Bari: 353/7)
