Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4535 — When Iblis saw what the angels were doing

حَدَّثَنَا مَسْعَدَةُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْعَطَّارُ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُنْذِرٍ الْحِزَامِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا رَأَى إِبْلِيسُ مَا تَفْعَلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَشْفَقَ أنْ يَخْلُصَ الْقَتْلُ إِلَيْهِ، فَتَشَبَّثَ بِهِ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فَوَكَزَ فِي صَدْرِ الْحَارِثِ، فَأَلْقَاهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ هَارِبًا حَتَّى أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَظْرَتَكَ إِيَّايَ، وَخَافَ أنْ يَخْلُصَ إِلَيْهِ الْقَتْلُ، فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَهْزِمَنَّكُمْ خُذْلَانُ سُرَاقَةَ إِيَّاكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى مِيعَادٍ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَا يَهُولَنَّكُمْ قَتْلُ عُتْبَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ وَالْوَلِيدِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ عَجَّلُوا، فَوَالَّلَاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَا نَرْجِعُ حَتَّى نُقْرِنَهُمْ بِالْحِبَالِ، وَلَا أُلْفِيَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلًا، وَلَكِنْ خُذُوهُمْ أَخْذًا حَتَّى تُعَرِّفُوهُمْ سُوءَ صَنِيعِهِمْ مِنْ مُفَارَقَتِهِمْ إِيَّاكُمْ، ورَغْبَتِهِمْ عَنِ اللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ مُتَمَثِّلًا:
[البحر الرجز]
مَا تَنْقِمُ الْحَرْبُ الشُّمُوسُ مِنِّي ... بَازِلُ عَامَيْنِ حَدِيثُ سِنِّي
لِمِثْلِ هَذَا وَلَدَتْنِي أُمِّي "
Sayyiduna Rifa'ah bin Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When Iblis saw what the angels were doing to the polytheists on the day of Badr, he feared that the killing would reach him too. Al-Harith bin Hisham caught hold of him, thinking that he was Suraqah bin Malik, so he (Iblis) struck al-Harith on the chest with his fist and threw him down, then went out fleeing until he threw himself into the sea, raised both his hands and said: I ask You for the respite You granted me; and he feared that the killing would reach him. Then Abu Jahl bin Hisham came forward and said: O people, do not let Suraqah's abandoning you defeat you, for he had an agreement with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); and do not let the killing of Utbah, Shaybah and al-Walid frighten you, for they were hasty. By al-Lat and al-Uzza, we will not return until we have bound them with ropes. I must not find any man among you who has killed one of them; rather, seize them, so that you may make them realise the evil of what they did in leaving you and turning away from al-Lat and al-Uzza. Then Abu Jahl recited this verse:
What fault can a fierce war find with me?
I am a full-strength (bazil) camel of two years, young in age;
For the like of this did my mother give birth to me.
