وَعَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ : كَتَبَ حَاطِبُ بْنُ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كِتَابًا إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - نَبِيَّهُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَبَعَثَ عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ فِي أَثَرِ الْكِتَابِ ، فَأَدْرَكَا الْمَرْأَةَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ ، فَاسْتَخْرَجَاهُ مِنْ قُرُونِهَا ، فَأَتَيَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَاطِبٍ فَقَالَ : " يَا حَاطِبُ ، أَنْتَ كَتَبْتَ هَذَا [ الْكِتَابَ ] ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ قَالَ : " فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَنَاصِحٌ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ، وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ غَرِيبًا فِي أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، وَكَانَ أَهْلِي بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ وَخَشِيتُ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَكَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا لَا يَضُرُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ شَيْئًا ، وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْفَعَةً لِأَهْلِي ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - : فَاخْتَرَطْتُ سَيْفِي ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَمْكِنِّي مِنْ حَاطِبٍ ; فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَفَرَ فَأَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، مَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ " . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، وَرِجَالُهُمْ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah. Allah Almighty informed His Prophet of it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Ali and al-Zubayr after that letter. The two of them reached a woman who was riding a camel; they had the letter taken out from her hair and brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The letter was read out before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned Hatib and asked: O Hatib! Did you write this letter? He replied: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Why did you do this? He replied: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah! I am a well-wisher of Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but I was a stranger in Makkah, and my family are among those people. I feared for that family, so I wrote a letter that could not harm Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in any way, but it might have become a source of benefit for my family. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I drew my sword and then submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to kill Hatib, for he has committed disbelief. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Ibn al-Khattab! What do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon this group of the people of Badr and then said: "Do whatever you wish; I have forgiven you."
Abu Ya'la recorded it in al-Kabir, and al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it in abridged form, and their narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
