عَنْ رَاشِدٍ مَوْلَى حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيَّ قَالَ : لَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنَ الْأَحْزَابِ عَنِ الْخَنْدَقِ ، جَمَعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ مَكَانِي وَيَسْمَعُونَ مِنِّي ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ : تَعْلَمُونَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعْلُو الْأُمُورَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا مُنْكَرًا ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَمْرًا فَمَا تَرَوْنَ فِيهِ ؟ قَالُوا : وَمَا رَأَيْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ : رَأَيْتُ أَنْ نَلْحَقَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ فَنَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ ، فَإِنْ ظَهَرَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلَى قَوْمِنَا كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّجَاشِيِّ ، فَإِنَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَإِنْ ظَهَرَ قَوْمُنَا فَنَحْنُ مَنْ قَدْ عُرِفُوا ، فَلَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ . قَالُوا : إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّأْيُ . قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُمْ : فَاجْمَعُوا لِي مَا يُهْدَى ، وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ مَا يُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا الْأَدَمَ ، فَجَمَعْنَا لَهُ أَدَمًا كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَعِنْدَهَ إِذْ جَاءَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمَرِيُّ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ بَعَثَهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي : هَذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ لَوْ قَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَسَأَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ ، فَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ ، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَأَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنِّي قَدْ أَجْزَأْتُ عَنْهَا حِينَ قَتَلْتُ رَسُولَ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
قَالَ : فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَجَدْتُ لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ ، فَقَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِصَدِيقِي ، أَهْدَيْتَ لِي مِنْ بِلَادِكَ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ لَقَدْ أَهْدَيْتُ لَكَ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ قَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ وَاشْتَهَاهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَهُوَ رَسُولُ رَجُلٍ عَدُوٍّ لَنَا ، فَأَعْطِنِيهِ فَأَقْتُلَهُ ; فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا وَخِيَارِنَا .
قَالَ : فَغَضِبَ ، وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَضَرَبَ بِهَا أَنْفَهُ ضَرْبَةً ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَسَرَهُ ، فَلَوِ انْشَقَّتْ لِيَ الْأَرْضُ لَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا فَرَقًا مِنْهُ . ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ هَذَا مَا سَأَلْتُهُ . قَالَ : تَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ رَسُولَ رَجُلٍ يَأْتِيهِ النَّامُوسُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مُوسَى لِتَقْتُلَهُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ ، أَكَذَاكَ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : وَيْحَكَ يَا عَمْرُو ! أَطِعْنِي وَاتَّبِعْهُ; فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَعَلَى الْحَقِّ ، وَلَيَظْهَرَنَّ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُ كَمَا ظَهَرَ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجُنُودِهِ . قَالَ : فَتُبَايِعُنِي لَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ ، وَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ . ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي وَقَدْ حَالَ رَأْيِي عَمَّا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَكَتَمْتُ أَصْحَابِي إِسْلَامِي ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ عَامِدًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَقِيتُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَكَانَ قُبَيْلَ الْفَتْحِ وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقَامَ الْمَيْسَمُ ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ نَبِيٌّ ، اذْهَبْ فَأَسْلِمْ ، فَحَتَّى مَتَى ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْتُ إِلَّا لِأُسْلِمَ قَالَ : فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَتَقَدَّمَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَبَايَعَ ، ثُمَّ دَنَوْتُ فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي وَلَا أَذْكُرُ مَا تَأَخَّرَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا عَمْرُو ، بَايِعْ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ ، وَإِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ تَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهَا " . قَالَ : فَبَايَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ .
قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ : وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ : أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَانَ مَعَهُمَا أَسْلَمَ حِينَ أَسْلَمَا . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى أُذُنِي ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا ثِقَاتٌ .
قَالَ : فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَجَدْتُ لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ ، فَقَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِصَدِيقِي ، أَهْدَيْتَ لِي مِنْ بِلَادِكَ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ لَقَدْ أَهْدَيْتُ لَكَ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ قَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ وَاشْتَهَاهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَهُوَ رَسُولُ رَجُلٍ عَدُوٍّ لَنَا ، فَأَعْطِنِيهِ فَأَقْتُلَهُ ; فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا وَخِيَارِنَا .

Rashid, the freed slave of Habib bin Aws al-Thaqafi, said: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) told me this personally. He said: When we returned from the Battle of the Trench, I gathered some men of Quraysh who knew my standing and listened to me, and I said to them: By Allah! You know that I see the affair of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) rising to prominence, which is something objectionable; so I have thought of a plan. What do you say about it? They asked: What is your plan? I said: I think we should go to the Negus (al-Najashi) and stay there. If Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prevails over our people, we will remain with the Negus, for living under his authority is dearer to us than being under the authority of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And if our people prevail, we are people whose standing our people know, and only good will come to us from them. They said: This is a good plan. I said to them: Then prepare goods for the Negus to be given to him as a gift. Of the things of our land, the gift he liked most was leather, so we gathered a great deal of leather for him. Then we set out until we came to him. When we reached him, at that very time Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri (who was a Muslim) came out from his presence; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent him to the Negus concerning Ja'far and his companions. As we were going in to the Negus, he was coming out from there. I said to my companions: This is Amr bin Umayyah. If I go to the Negus and ask him for this man, he will give him to me, and I will strike off his head; and when I do that, Quraysh will think that I have avenged them by killing the messenger of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When I went in to the Negus, I prostrated to him as I used to do before. He said: Welcome to my friend! Have you brought me a gift from your land? I said: O King! Yes! Then I said: O King! I have brought you a great deal of leather as a gift. Then I presented it to him, and he liked it and was pleased with it. Then I said: O King! I saw a man leaving your presence; he is the messenger of our enemy. Hand that man over to us so that I may kill him, for he has harmed our nobles and our best people. Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Negus became angry; he stretched out his hand and struck my nose so hard that I thought he had broken it. Out of fear of him at that moment I thought that if the earth were to split open, I would go into it. Then I said: O King! By Allah! Had I known that you would dislike this, I would never have made this request. He said: You ask me to hand over to you, so that you may kill him, the messenger of the one to whom comes the "Great Namus" who used to come to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him)? The narrator says: I said: O King! Is it really so? He said: Woe to you, O Amr! Obey me and follow him, for, by Allah, he is upon the truth, and he will certainly prevail over those who oppose him, just as Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) prevailed over Pharaoh and his armies. Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: Then will you take my pledge of allegiance to Islam on his behalf? He said: Very well. Then he stretched out his hand and took the pledge of allegiance to Islam from Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator says: Then I went out to my companions, and the opinion I had held before had changed. I concealed my Islam from my companions, then I set out to go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). On the way I met Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him); this was a little before the Conquest of Makkah, and he was coming from the direction of Makkah. I asked: O Abu Sulayman! Where are you going? He said: By Allah! The way has become clear; that man is truly a Prophet. I am going to accept Islam; how much longer shall I delay it? Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: By Allah! I too have come only to accept Islam. The narrator says: Then we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward, accepted Islam and then gave his pledge. Then I came forward and said: O Messenger of Allah! I will pledge allegiance to you on the condition that my past sins are forgiven. The narrator says: The shortcomings that would come later did not occur to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Amr! Pledge allegiance, for Islam wipes out all the shortcomings before it, and emigration wipes out everything before it. The narrator says: So I pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then went back. Ibn Ishaq said: A person whom I do not suspect narrated
this report to me: that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talhah bin Abi Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam along with those two men when they accepted Islam.
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report, but he recorded these words: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) told me this personally, and my ears heard it. The narrators of both reports are thiqat (trustworthy).
