Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4242 — From the chapter on the emigration

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْمُدْلِجِيَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا جَعَلَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً ، قَالَ : فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ جَعَلَتْ فِيهِمَا قُرَيْشٌ مَا جَعَلَتْ ، قَرِيبًا مِنْكَ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ فَرَسِي وَهُوَ فِي الْمَرْعَى فَنَفَرْتُ بِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ رُمْحِي فَرَكِبْتُهُ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَجُرُّ الرُّمْحَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَشْرَكَنِي فِيهِمَا أَهْلُ الْمَاءِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمَا ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : بَاغٍ يَبْغِينَا ، قَالَ : فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنَاهُ بِمَا شِئْتَ قَالَ : فَوَحَلَ بِي فَرَسِي ، وَإِنِّي لَفِي جَلَدٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ فَانْقَلَبْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : ادْعُ الَّذِي فَعَلَ مَا أَرَى أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ - وَعَاهَدَهُ أَلَّا يَعْصِيَهُ أَبَدًا - قَالَ : فَدَعَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُ ، فَخَلَصَ الْفَرَسُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُ : أَوَاهِبُهُ أَنْتَ لِي ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ : هَاهُنَا عَمِّ عَنَّا النَّاسَ ، وَأَخَذَ السَّاحِلَ مِمَّا يَلِي الْبَحْرَ ، قَالَ : فَكُنْتُ لَهُمْ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ طَالِبًا ، وَآخِرَ النَّهَارِ لَهُمْ مَسْلَحَةً ، وَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا اسْتَقْرَرْنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا فَأْتِنَا ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَظَهَرَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَأُحُدٍ ، وَأَسْلَمَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ قَالَ سُرَاقَةُ : وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ ، أَتَيْتُهُ ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ الْمَاضِي فِي تَفْسِيرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ .

4242 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بِطُولِهِ .
وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ الْبُخَارِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الْمَذْكُورَ بِمَعْنَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَفِي هَذَا مُغَايَرَةٌ فِي مُوَيْضِعَاتٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik al-Mudliji (may Allah be pleased with him) that Quraysh had fixed forty uqiyah (as a reward) for (the capture of) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Suraqah relates: While I was sitting, a man suddenly came to me and said: "Those two men for whom Quraysh have fixed a reward have just passed near you at such-and-such a place." Suraqah says: (Hearing this,) I went to my horse, which was in the pasture, and drove it back; then I took up my spear and mounted the horse. He says: I began to drag my spear (along the ground) for fear that the people of the settlement would share the reward with me. When I saw the two of them, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(O Messenger of Allah,) this pursuer has caught up with us." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned (towards me) and supplicated: 'Allahumma-kfinahu bima shi'ta' (O Allah, suffice us against his harm in whatever way You will). Suraqah says: (Through the blessing of this supplication) my horse sank (into the ground), although I was on a hard stretch of land; I fell onto a stone and was thrown on my face. I said: "Pray to the One who has done what I see, that He set my horse free" (and he made a covenant that he would never disobey him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for him, and the horse came out of the ground. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Will you give it up (i.e. your enmity or pursuit) for my sake?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From here, keep people misled about us (so that they do not follow us)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took the coastal route along the sea. Suraqah says: At the beginning of the day I was their pursuer (an enemy), and at the end of the day I became a guard (protector) for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: "When we have settled in Madinah, and you wish to come to us, then come." So when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah, and he gained victory at Badr and Uhud, and the people around accepted Islam, Suraqah says: News reached me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to send Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) to Banu Mudlij, so I came to him. Then he mentioned the long hadith that has already passed in the commentary on Surah al-Nisa'.
Al-Harith also narrated this hadith at length in the same way, through Bishr bin Umar al-Zahrani from Hammad bin Salamah. Imam Bukhari also narrated this hadith through other chains from Sayyiduna Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him); however, its wording differs from this in some places.
