Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 14447 — When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr set off back

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ هَارُونَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا صَدَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وأَقَامَ النَّاسُ حَجَّهُمْ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ: «إنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلوكَ» فَقَالَ: لَو وَجَدُوني نَائِمًا مَا أَيْقَظُونِي، فَأَذِنَ لَه رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ فَقَدَّمَ عَشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ يُحَيِّونَهُ فَدَعَاهُم إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَنَصَحَ لَهُم فاتَّهَمُوهُ وعَصَوْهُ وأَسْمَعُوهُ مِن الْأَذَى مَا لَم يَكُنْ يخشاهُمْ عَلَيْه فَخَرَجُوا مِن عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسَّحَّرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عَلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِن قُرَيْشٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ "
Imam Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set off back (from Hajj) and the people had performed their Hajj, Urwah bin Mas'ud al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and became Muslim. Then he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to return to his people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear that they will kill you." He said: "If they found me asleep, they would not even wake me." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, and he returned to Ta'if. He prepared an evening meal, and the people of Thaqif came to greet him, so he invited them to Islam and gave them sincere counsel. They accused him, disobeyed him and made him hear such hurtful words as he had never thought they would say to him. Then they left him, until, when they had eaten their pre-dawn meal and dawn broke, he stood on an upper room of his house, gave the call to prayer (adhan) and recited the testimony of faith (tashahhud). Then a man from Quraysh shot him with an arrow and killed him.
