حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ، ثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ : أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ كِتَابًا ، وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا وَالزُّبَيْرَ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقَا حَتَّى تُدْرِكَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ ، فَائْتِيَانِي بِهِ ، فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى لَقِيَاهَا ، فَقَالَا : أَعْطِينَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي مَعَكِ ، وَأَخْبَرَاهَا أَنَّهُمَا غَيْرُ مُنْصَرِفَيْنِ حَتَّى يَنْزِعَا كُلَّ ثَوْبٍ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : أَلَسْتُمَا رَجُلَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ ؟ فَقَالَا : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ مَعَكِ كِتَابًا . فَلَمَّا أَيْقَنَتْ أَنَّهُمَا غَيْرُ مُفْلِتَيْهَا حَلَّتِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ رَأْسِهَا ، فَدَفَعَتْهُ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبًا حَتَّى قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ ، فَقَالَ : I " تَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ ؟ I " قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : I " فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ I " قَالَ : هُنَاكَ وَلَدِي وَذُو قَرَابَتِي ، وَكُنْتُ امْرَأً غَرِيبًا فِيكُمْ مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : ائْذَنْ لِي فِي قَتْلِ حَاطِبٍ ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: I " لَا ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ ، إِنِّي غَافِرٌ لَكُمْ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ إِلَّا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو .
Abd al-Rahman bin Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that his father, Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him), who was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and had taken part in the Battle of Badr, wrote a letter to the disbelievers of Quraysh. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: "Go until you overtake a woman who has a letter with her, and bring it to me." So the two of them set off until they caught up with that woman and said to her: "Give us the letter that you have with you." And they told her that they would not go back until they had removed every garment she was wearing. She said: "Are you two not Muslim men?" They said: "Of course! But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has told us that you have a letter with you." When she was certain that the two of them would not let her go, she untied the letter from (the hair of) her head and handed it over to them. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) and read the letter out to him, then said: "Do you recognise this letter?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what led you to do this?" He said: "My child and my relatives are there (in Makkah), and I was a stranger among you, O people of Quraysh." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Permit me to kill Hatib!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, he has taken part in Badr. And what do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr (with special mercy) and said: Do whatever you wish, I have forgiven you."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ishaq bin Rashid (may Allah have mercy on him); Ubaydullah bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
