وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ : أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ كِتَابًا وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ ، فَقَالَ : " انْطَلِقَا حَتَّى تُدْرِكَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ ، وَائْتِيَانِي بِهِ " . فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى لَقِيَاهَا ، فَقَالَا : أَعْطِينَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي مَعَكِ ، وَأَخْبَرَاهَا أَنَّهُمَا غَيْرُ مُنْصَرِفَيْنِ حَتَّى يَنْزِعَا كُلَّ ثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : أَلَسْتُمَا رَجُلَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ ؟ قَالَا : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَدَّثَنَا : أَنَّ مَعَكِ كِتَابًا ، فَلَمَّا أَيْقَنَتْ أَنَّهَا غَيْرُ مُنْفَلِتَةٍ مِنْهُمَا حَلَّتِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ رَأْسِهَا فَدَفَعَتْهُ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَاطِبًا حَتَّى قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَتَعْرِفَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ ؟ " . قَالَ : نَعَمْ قَالَ : " فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : هُنَاكَ وَلَدِي وَقَرَابَتِي ، وَكُنْتُ امْرَأً غَرِيبًا فِيكُمْ مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : ائْذَنْ لِي فِي قَتْلِ حَاطِبٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، وَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنِّي غَافِرٌ لَكُمْ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا ثِقَاتٌ .
Abd al-Rahman, the son of Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: His father wrote a letter to the disbelievers of Quraysh. At that time Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he has the honour of having taken part in the Battle of Badr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Both of you go! You will reach a woman who will have a letter with her; bring that letter to me. These two men set out and met that woman. They said: Give us the letter that you have with you. They warned the woman that they would not go back until they had searched her clothing. The woman asked: Are you two not Muslims? They replied: Yes! But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has told us that you have a letter. When the woman became certain that they would not leave like that, she took the letter out from her head and handed it over to the two of them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him), and the letter was read out before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you recognise this letter? He replied: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Why did you do it? He replied: My children and relatives are there, and I am a stranger among Quraysh. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: Give me permission to kill Hatib. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He took part in Badr, and you do not know; perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish! I have forgiven you.'"
