Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14029

وَعَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَابْتَعْتُ حُلَّةَ ذِي يَزَنَ فَأَهْدَيْتُهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ : " لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ " . فَرَدَّهَا ، فَبِعْتُهَا فَاشْتَرَاهَا ، فَلَبِسَهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا فِي شَيْءٍ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ فِيهَا - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَمَا مَكَثْتُ أَنْ قُلْتُ :
وَمَا يَنْظُرُ الْحُكَّامُ فِي الْفَصْلِ بَعْدَ مَا بَدَا وَاضِحٌ مِنْ غُرَّةٍ وَحُجُولِ إِذَا قَايَسُوهُ الْمَجْدَ أَرْبَى عَلَيْهِمُ
كَمُسْتَفْرِغِ مَاءِ الذِّنَابِ سَجِيلِ فَسَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَتَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَضَعَّفَهُ الْجُمْهُورُ وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ .
قُلْتُ : وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَتْ لَهُ طَرِيقٌ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ فِي الْهَدِيَّةِ .
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I went to Yemen, and there I bought the robe (hullah) of Dhu Yazan and presented it as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This was during the period when the matter of the truce between him (peace and blessings be upon him) and Quraysh was in effect. He said: "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist." He returned it. I sold it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought that robe and put it on. Then he came out to his Companions wearing that robe on his (peace and blessings be upon him) body, and I have never seen anything more beautiful in that robe than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time I composed these verses: "What are the arbiters waiting for in giving their judgment, when what has appeared is plain in its radiance and adornment? When they compare him with them in glory, they judge that he surpasses them (that is, the Prophet's opponents), like a man who draws water with a large bucket against a small bucket." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard these verses, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ya'qub bin Muhammad al-Zuhri, whom the majority declared da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Before this,
this report has already passed as a longer narration in the chapter on giving gifts.
