Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 3112 — In the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah)

حَدَّثَنَا مُطَّلِبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ قَالَ: كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَبَّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا نُبِّئَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ شَهِدَ حَكِيمٌ الْمَوْسِمَ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ، فَوَجَدَ حُلَّةٌ لِذِي يَزَنَ تُبَاعُ، فَاشْتَرَاهَا لِيُهْدِيَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَدِمَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَرَادَهُ عَلَى قَبْضِهَا هَدِيَّةً فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ شَيْئًا، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخَذْتُهَا مِنْكَ بِالثَّمَنِ» . فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهَا حِينَ أَبَى عَلَيَّ الْهَدِيَّةَ فَلَبِسَهَا، فَرَأَيْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَلَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهَا أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، فَرَآهَا حَكِيمٌ عَلَى أُسَامَةَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أُسَامَةُ، أَنْتَ تَلْبَسُ حُلَّةَ ذِي يَزَنَ؟» فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَاللهِ لَأَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذِي يَزَنَ، وَلَأَبِي خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِيهِ. قَالَ حَكِيمٌ: «فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ أُعَجِّبُهُمْ بِقَوْلِ أُسَامَةَ»
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most beloved of people to me. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) received prophethood and went to Madinah, Hakim attended the (Hajj) season while he was still a disbeliever. There he found a garment (hullah) of Dhu Yazan being sold, so he bought it to present it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He brought it to him (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah and wanted him (peace and blessings be upon him) to accept it as a gift, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) refused and said: "We do not accept anything from the polytheists; but if you wish, I will take it from you for its price." So when he (peace and blessings be upon him) refused to accept the gift, I gave it to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) wore it, and I saw it on him (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit, and that day I did not see anything more beautiful than him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both). Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the garment on Usamah and said: "O Usamah, are you wearing the garment of Dhu Yazan?" Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes. By Allah, I am better than Dhu Yazan, and my father is better than his father. Hakim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then I went to the people of Makkah and began to astonish them with what Usamah had said."
