Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10231

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَكَّةَ ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ فِيهِمْ حَاطِبُ بْنُ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ ، وَفَشَا فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ حُنَيْنًا .
قَالَ : فَكَتَبَ حَاطِبٌ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُرِيدُكُمْ .
قَالَ : فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَبَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَأَبَا مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ فَرَسٌ ، فَقَالَ : " ائْتُوا رَوْضَةَ الْخَاخِ ; فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بِهَا امْرَأَةً وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ فَخُذْهُ مِنْهَا " .
قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَاهَا بِالْمَكَانِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْنَا لَهَا : هَاتِي الْكِتَابَ . فَقَالَتْ : مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ . قَالَ : فَوَضَعْنَا مَتَاعَهَا فَفَتَّشْنَاهَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فِي مَتَاعِهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مَرْثَدٍ : فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ ، فَقُلْنَا : مَا كَذَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا كَذَبْنَا ، فَقُلْنَا لَهَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَنُعَرِّيَنَّكِ . فَقَالَتْ : أَمَا تَتَّقُونَ اللَّهَ ، أَمَا أَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ ؟ ! فَقُلْنَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَنُعَرِّيَنَّكِ .
قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ : فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ حُجْزَتِهَا . وَقَالَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ : مِنْ قُبُلِهَا . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ . قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِغَيْرِ هَذَا السِّيَاقِ . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَفِيهِ الْحَارِثُ الْأَعْوَرُ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to go to Makkah, he sent word to some of his Companions that he wanted to go to Makkah. Among those Companions was Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him). Before the people, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made it appear that he wanted to go to Hunayn. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to come against them. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this. He sent me and Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi, and every man who was with us had a horse with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to the garden called Khakh; there you will meet a woman who will have a letter with her. Take it from her." The narrator says: We set off until we saw that woman at the place the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned. We said to her: "Give us that letter." She said: "I have no letter with me." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We had her baggage unloaded and searched it, but we did not find the letter in her baggage. Abu Marthad said: "Perhaps this woman does not have a letter." We said: "The Messenger of Allah did not speak falsely, nor were we told anything false." We said to that woman: "Either you bring out that letter, or we will search your person." She said: "Do you not fear Allah Almighty? Are you not Muslims?" We said: "Either you bring it out, or we will search your person." The narrator Amr bin Murrah has reported the words here that the woman brought it out from her braided hair. The narrator Habib bin Abi Thabit has reported the words here that she brought it out from the front part of her body. After this the narrator mentioned the whole hadith. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This report is mentioned in the "Sahih" without this wording.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator, al-Harith al-A'war, who is da'if (weak).
