عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَرَادَ غَزْوَهُمْ ، فَدُلَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا . فَقَالَ : " يَا حَاطِبُ ، أَفَعَلْتَ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ غِشًّا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا نِفَاقًا ، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ : أَنَّ اللَّهَ مُظْهِرُ رَسُولِهِ وَمُتِمُّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ وَكَانَتْ وَالِدَتِي مَعَهُمْ ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهَا عِنْدَهُمْ . فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : أَلَا أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ : " تَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ؟ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ " . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَأَحْمَدُ أَتَمُّ مِنْهُ ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ : غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ عَزِيزًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ . وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah in which he mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to attack them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was guided to the woman who had the letter with her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent people to that woman, and the letter was retrieved from her head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Hatib! Did you do this? He replied: Yes! I did not do it out of any deceit towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor out of any hypocrisy. I know that Allah Almighty will grant His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) victory and will complete his affair for him. The real matter is that I have lived among those people, and my mother is still living with them, so I wanted to do them some favour in this regard for my mother's sake. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Shall I strike off his neck? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you kill a man who is one of the people of Badr? What do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: "Do whatever you wish!"
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and Ahmad recorded it as a more complete narration, but in it he recorded these words: "I held a prominent position among them (or: I was a stranger among them)." The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
