Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3906 — Kurz bin Alqamah relates that a delegation
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُصَرِّفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْيَامِيُّ قَالَ : نَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْبَيْلَمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ كُرْزِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ : قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفْدُ نَصَارَى نَجْرَانَ ، سِتُّونَ رَاكِبًا ، مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ ، وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَيْهِمْ يَؤُولُ أَمْرُهُمُ ، الْعَاقِبُ أَمِينُ الْقَوْمِ وَذُو رَأْيِهِمْ ، وَصَاحِبُ مَشُورَتِهِمْ ، وَالَّذِي لَا يَصْدُرُونَ إِلَّا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ وَأَمْرِهِ ، وَاسْمُهُ : عَبْدُ الْمَسِيحِ ، وَالسَّيِّدُ عَالِمُهُمْ ، وَصَاحِبُ رَحْلِهِمْ وَمُجْتَمَعِهِمْ ، وَأَبُو حَارِثَةَ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَخُو بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، أُسْقُفُهُمْ وَحَبْرُهُمْ وَإِمَامُهُمْ ، وَصَاحِبُ مَرَامِيهِمْ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو حَارِثَةَ قَدْ شَرُفَ فِيهِمْ حَتَّى حَسُنَ عِلْمُهُ فِي دِينِهِمْ ، وَكَانَتْ مُلُوكُ الرُّومِ مِنَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ قَدْ شَرَّفُوهُ وَقَبِلُوهُ ، وَبَنَوْا لَهُ الْكَنَائِسَ ، وَبَسَطُوا عَلَيْهِ الْكَرَامَاتِ ، لِمَا يَبْلُغْهُمْ عَنْهُ مِنِ اجْتِهَادِهِ فِي دِينِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا وُجِّهُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَجْرَانَ ، جَلَسَ أَبُو حَارِثَةَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ مُوَجِّهًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِلَى جَنْبِهِ أَخٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ : كُرْزُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ يُسَايِرُهُ ، إِذْ عَثَرَتْ بَغْلَةُ أَبِي حَارِثَةَ ، فَقَالَ كُرْزٌ : تَعِسَ الْأَبْعَدُ - يُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : بَلْ أَنْتَ تَعِسْتَ ، فَقَالَ : وَلِمَ يَا أَخُ ؟ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَلنَّبِيُّ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَنْتَظِرُ ، قَالَ لَهُ كُرْزٌ : وَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : مَا صَنَعَ بِنَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ : شَرَّفُونَا وَأَمَّرُونَا وَأَكْرَمُونَا ، وَقَدْ أَبَوْا إِلَّا خِلَافَهُ ، وَلَوْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ نَزَعُوا مِنَّا كُلَّ مَا تَرَى ، وَأَضْمَرَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُ أَخُوهُ كُرْزُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ ، يَعْنِي : أَسْلَمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ I " .
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ كُرْزِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ الْبَكْرِيِّ وَلَيْسَ بِالْخُزَاعِيِّ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ .

Kurz bin Alqamah relates that a delegation of the Christians of Najran came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): sixty riders, twenty-four of whom were from their nobles, and among those twenty-four were three men to whom their affairs were referred. (First was) al-Aqib, the trustee of the people, the man of opinion and their counsellor, without whose opinion and command they did nothing; his name was Abd al-Masih. (Then) al-Sayyid, their scholar, the one in charge of their journeys and gatherings. And Abu Harithah bin Alqamah, who belonged to (the tribe of) Bakr bin Wa'il, their bishop, their great scholar, their leader and the one in charge of their school. Abu Harithah had become so honoured among them that his knowledge of their religion was held in the highest regard, and the Christian Roman kings had honoured him and accepted him, built churches for him and showered honours upon him, because news had reached them of his striving in their religion. When they set out from Najran towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Harithah was riding his mule heading towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and beside him was his brother Kurz bin Alqamah, travelling alongside him. Suddenly Abu Harithah's mule stumbled, and Kurz said: "May the far-off one perish," meaning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Harithah said: "Rather, may you perish!" Kurz asked: "Brother, why is that?" He said: "By Allah, he is certainly the Prophet whom we have been waiting for." Kurz said to him: "Then, when you know this, what is stopping you (from believing in him)?" He said: "What these people have done for us: they have honoured us, made us leaders and treated us generously, while they insist on nothing but opposing him; and if I were to do this (believe), they would take away from us everything you see." His brother Kurz bin Alqamah kept this matter hidden in his heart, that is, he became a Muslim after that.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Kurz bin Alqamah al-Bakri (who is not al-Khuza'i) except with this chain; Yunus bin Bukayr is alone in narrating it."
