Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1953 — after the passing of the Messenger of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَطِرَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ قَالَ : نَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ أَهْلُ الرِّدَّةِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَسْأَلُونَهُ الصُّلْحَ ، فَقَالَ : I " عَلَى أَنْ نَنْزِعَ مِنْكُمُ الْحَلْقَةَ وَالْكُرَاعَ ، وَتُتْرَكُونَ تَتْبَعُونَ أَذْنَابَ الْبَقَرِ ، حَتَّى يُرِي اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلِيفَةَ نَبِيِّهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَأْيًا يَعْذِرُونَكُمْ بِهِ ، وَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ ، وَتَدُونَ قَتْلَانَا ، وَلَا نَدِي قَتْلَاكُمْ I " . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : I " يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، الْقَوْلُ كَمَا قُلْتَ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ قَتْلَانَا قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَا دِيَةَ لَهُمْ I " . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ إِلَّا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ I " .
Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) reports that after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the apostates of Banu Asad and Ghatafan came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asking for peace. He said: "On the condition that we take your weapons and horses from you, and you are left (in a state where) you follow the tails of cattle (that is, remain occupied with farming), until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, shows the successor of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the believers an opinion by which they may excuse you; and that you testify that our slain are in Paradise and your slain are in the Fire; and that you pay blood money for our slain while we pay no blood money for your slain."
At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O successor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The matter is as you have said, except that our slain were killed in the path of Allah; there is no blood money for them."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ayyub bin A'idh (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sufyan bin Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him)."
