Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15927 — I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا أُسَامَةُ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو سَبْرَةَ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مِسِّيكٍ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُقَاتِلُ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ مِنْ قَوْمِي بِمَنْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ: «بَلَى» ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا، بَلْ أَهْلُ سَبَأٍ هُمْ أَعَزُّ وَأَشَدُّ قُوَّةً، فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأْذِنَ لِي فِي قِتَالِ سَبَأٍ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدَهُ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِي سَبَأٍ مَا أَنْزَلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا فَعَلَ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ» ؟ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي فَوَجَدَنِي قَدْ سِرْتُ فَرَدَّنِي، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَاعِدًا فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ: «ادْعُ الْقَوْمَ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاقْبَلْ، وَمَنْ أَبَى فَلَا تَعْجَلْ حَتَّى تُحَدِّثَ إِلَيَّ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا سَبَأٌ؟ أَرْضٌ أَو امْرَأَةٌ؟ قَالَ: " لَيْسَتْ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَا امْرَأَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ وَلَدَ عَشَرَةَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، فَأَمَّا سِتَّةٌ فَتَيَامَنُوا، وَأَمَّا أَرْبَعَةٌ فَتَشَاءَمُوا، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تَشَاءَمُوا فَلَخْمٌ، وَجُذَامُ، وَعَامِلَةُ، وَغَسَّانُ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تَيَامَنُوا فَالأَزْدُ، وَكِنْدَةُ، وَحِمْيَرُ، وَالْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ، وَأنْمَارٌ، وَمَذْحِجٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَنْمَارٌ؟ قَالَ: هُمُ الَّذِينَ بَجِيلَةُ، وَخَثْعَمُ "
Sayyiduna Farwah bin Musayk al-Muradi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I not fight those of my people who have turned away with those of them who have come forward? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Certainly." Then I changed my mind and said: O Messenger of Allah, no; rather the people of Saba are mightier and stronger. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me and permitted me to fight Saba. When I left him, Allah revealed concerning Saba what He revealed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What has the Ghatafani done?" So he sent to my house, found that I had already set out, and called me back. When I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I found him sitting among his Companions, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Invite the people; whoever of them responds to you, accept it from him, and whoever refuses, do not hasten until you have spoken with me." A man among the people said: O Messenger of Allah, what is Saba? A land or a woman? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Neither a land nor a woman; rather he was the father of ten sons of the Arabs. Six of them turned towards Yemen and four towards Sham. Those who turned towards Sham were Lakhm, Judham, Amilah and Ghassan; and those who turned towards Yemen were al-Azd, Kindah, Himyar, the Ash'ariyyun, Anmar and Madhhij." A man said: O Messenger of Allah, what is Anmar? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are the people from whom are Bajilah and Khath'am."
