Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7232 — Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنْ: الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَالْأَنْصَارِ، وَغِفَارٍ، وَأَسْلَمَ، وَمُزَيْنَةَ، وَجُهَيْنَةَ، وَبَنِي سُلَيْمٍ، وَقَادُوا الْخُيُولَ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ، وَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ بِهِمْ قُرَيْشٌ، فَبَعَثُوا بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَحَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، وَقَالُوا: خُذُوا لَنَا مِنْهُ جِوَارًا، أَوْ آذِنُوهُ بِالْحَرْبِ، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَحَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ، فَلَقِيَا بُدَيْلَ بْنَ وَرْقَاءَ، فَاسْتَصْحَبَاهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالْأرَاكِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ، وَذَلِكَ عِشَاءَ رَأَوْا الْفَسَاطِيطَ وَالْعَسْكَرَ، وَسَمِعُوا صَهِيلَ الْخَيْلِ، فَرَاعَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، وَفَزِعُوا مِنْهُ، وَقَالُوا: هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو كَعْبٍ جَاشَتْهَا الْحَرْبُ، قَالَ بُدَيْلٌ: هَؤُلَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ بَنِي كَعْبٍ، مَا بَلَغَ تَأْلِيبُهَا هَذَا، أَفَتَنْتَجِعُ هَوَازِنُ أَرْضَنَا؟ وَاللهِ مَا نَعْرِفُ هَذَا أَيْضًا، إِنَّ هَذَا لَ‍مِثْلُ حَاجِّ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ قَدْ بَعَثَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ خَيْلًا يَقْبِضُ الْعُيُونَ، وَخُزَاعَةُ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ لَا يَتْرُكُونَ أَحَدًا يَمْضِي، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَسْكَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَخَذَتْهُمُ الْخَيْلُ تَحْتَ اللَّيْلِ، وَأْتَوْا بِهِمْ خَائِفِينَ لِلْقَتْلِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَوَجَأَ عُنُقَهُ، وَالْتَزَمَهُ الْقَوْمُ، وَخَرَجُوا بِهِ لِيَدْخُلُوا بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، فَحَبَسَهُ الْحَرَسُ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ وَخَافَ الْقَتْلَ، وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ خَالِصَهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: أَلَا تَأَمُّوا بِي إِلَى عَبَّاسٍ، فَأَتَاهُ وَدَفَعَ عَنْهُ، وَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ أَنْ يَقْبِضَهُ إِلَيْهِ، وَمَشَى فِي الْقَوْمِ مَكَانَهُ، فَرَكِبَ بِهِ عَبَّاسٌ تَحْتَ اللَّيْلِ، فَسَارَ بِهِ فِي عَسْكَرِ الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى أَبْصَرُوهُ أَجْمَعُ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَدْ قَالَ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ حِينَ وَجَأَ عُنُقَهُ: وَاللهِ لَا تَدْنُو مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ، فَاسْتَغَاثَ بِعَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي مَقْتُولٌ فَمَنَعَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَنْتَهِبُوهُ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى كَثْرَةَ الْجَيْشِ وَطَاعَتَهُمْ قَالَ: لَمْ أَرَ كَاللَّيْلَةِ جَمْعًا لِقَوْمٍ فَخَلَّصَهُ عَبَّاسٌ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ مَقْتُولٌ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْلَمْ وَتَشْهَدْ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَجَعَلَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُولَ الَّذِي يَأْمُرُهُ عَبَّاسٌ بِهِ، وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانُهُ، فَبَاتَ مَعَ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَمَّا حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ، وَبُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ، فَدَخَلَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، فَأَسْلَمَا وَجَعَلَ يَسْتَخْبِرُهُمَا عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، فَلَمَّا نُودِيَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ تَخَشْخَشَ الْقَوْمُ، فَفَزِعَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبَّاسُ، مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ؟ قَالَ: هُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَيَسَّرُوا لِحُضُورِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، فَخَرَجَ بِهِ عَبَّاسٌ، فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَهُمْ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَمُرُّونَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ يَرْكَعُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ إِذَا سَجَدَ، قَالَ: يَا عَبَّاسُ، أَمَا يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا فَعَلُوهُ؟ ‍ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: لَوْ نَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ لَأَطَاعُوهُ. فَقَالَ: يَا عَبَّاسُ، فَكَلِّمْهُ فِي قَوْمِكَ هَلْ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ عَفْوٍ عَنْهُمْ؟ فَانْطَلَقَ عَبَّاسٌ بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنِّي قَدِ اسْتَنْصَرْتُ إِلَهِي، وَاسْتَنْصَرْتُ إِلَهِكَ فَوَاللهِ، مَا لَقِيتُكَ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ إِلَّا ظَهَرْتَ عَلَيَّ، فَلَوْ كَانَ إِلَهِي مُحِقًّا، وإِلَهَكَ مُبْطِلًا لَظَهَرْتُ عَلَيْكَ، فَشَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ. فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي إِلَى قَوْمِكَ، فَأُنْذِرُهُمْ مَا نَزَلَ، وَأَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ. فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: كَيْفَ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَيِّنْ لِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَمَانًا يَطْمَئِنُّونَ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ: تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَشَهِدَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، وَكَفَّ يَدَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ، وَمَنْ جَلَسَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَوَضَعَ سِلَاحَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ، وَمَنْ أَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِ بَابَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ»
قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبُو سُفْيَانَ ابْنُ عَمِّنَا، وَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ مَعِي، وَلَوْ أَخْصَصْتَهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ: «مَنْ دَخَلَ دَارَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ» فَجَعَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَسْتَفْقِهُهُ، وَدَارُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بِأَعْلَا مَكَّةَ، وَقَالَ: «مَنْ دَخَلَ دَارَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، وَكَفَّ يَدَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ» وَدَارُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ بِأَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ
وَحَمَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ عَلِيًّا عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ الَّتِي كَانَ أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ، فَانْطَلَقَ عَبَّاسٌ بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَدْ أَرْدَفَهُ، فَلَمَّا سَارَ عَبَّاسٌ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَقَالَ: «أَدْرِكُوا عَبَّاسًا، فَرُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ» وَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِالَّذِي خَافَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكَهُ الرَّسُولُ، فَكَرِهَ عَبَّاسٌ الرُّجُوعَ، وَقَالَ: أَيَرْهَبُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ أَنْ يُرْجِعَ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَاغِبًا فِي قِلَّةِ النَّاسِ فَيَكْفُرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: «احْبِسْهُ» ، فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: أَغَدْرًا يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: إِنَّا لَسْنَا نَغْدِرُ، وَلَكِنْ لِي إِلَيْكَ بَعْضُ الْحَاجَةِ. قَالَ: وَمَا هِي، فَأَقْضِيَهَا لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ: يُعادُهَا حِينَ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، فَوَقَفَ عَبَّاسٌ بِالْمَضِيقِ دُونَ الْأَرَاكِ مِنْ مِنًى، وَقَدْ وَعَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ عَنْهُ حَدِيثَهُ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ عُبُورَ الْخَيْلِ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى أَثَرِ بَعْضٍ، وَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمِ الْخَيْلَ شَطْرَيْنِ، فَبَعَثَ الزُّبَيْرَ وَرِدْفَهُ خَالِدًا بِالْجَيْشِ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ وَغِفَارٍ وَقُضَاعَةَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ، هَذَا يَا عَبَّاسُ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَلَكِنْ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ، الْيَوْمُ تُسْتَحَلُّ الْحُرْمَةُ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ فِي كَتِيبَةِ الْإِيمَانِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وُجُوهًا كَثِيرَةً لَا يَعْرِفُهَا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكْثَرْتَ إِذًا، أَوِ اخْتَرْتَ هَذِهِ الْوُجُوهَ عَلَى قَوْمِكَ؟ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ: «أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ وَقَوْمُكَ، إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ صَدَّقُونِي إِذْ كَذَّبْتُمُونِي، وَنَصَرُونِي إِذْ أَخْرَجْتُونِي» . وَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ وَعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ وَعُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ، فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرَهُمْ حَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، قَالَ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا عَبَّاسُ؟ قَالَ: هَذِهِ كَتِيبَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ، وَمَعَ هَذِهِ الْمَوْتُ الْأَحْمَرُ، هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ، قَالَ: امْضِ يَا عَبَّاسُ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ جُنُودًا قَطُّ، وَلَا جَمَاعَةً، فَسَارَ الزُّبَيْرُ بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بِالْحَجُونِ، وانْدَفَعَ خَالِدٌ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ، فَلَقِيَتْهُ أَوْبَاشُ بَنِي بَكْرٍ، فَقَاتَلُوهُمْ، فَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ، وَقُتِلُوا بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا الدُّورَ، وَارْتَفَعَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ عَلَى الْخَنْدَمَةِ، وَاتَّبَعَهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ النَّاسِ، وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: مَنْ أَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِ دَارَهُ وَكَفَّ يَدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ آمِنٌ، وَنَادَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بِمَكَّةَ: أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا، وَكَفَّهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَقْبَلَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ، فَأَخَذَتْ بِلِحْيَةِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، ثُمَّ نَادَتْ: يَا غَالِبُ، اقْتُلُوا هَذَا الشَّيْخَ الْأَحْمَقَ، قَالَ: فَأَرْسِلِي لِحْيَتِي فَأُقْسِمُ لَكِ لَئِنْ أَنْتِ لَمْ تُسْلِمِي لَيُضْرَبَنَّ عُنُقُكِ، وَيْلَكِ جَاءَنَا بِالْحَقِّ فَادْخُلِي أَرِيكَتِكِ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: وَاسْكُتِي
Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with twelve thousand men from the Muhajirun, the Ansar, Ghifar, Aslam, Muzaynah, Juhaynah and Banu Sulaym, and they led the horses along until they camped at Marr al-Zahran, and Quraysh knew nothing of them. So they sent Abu Sufyan and Hakim bin Hizam to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and said: Obtain protection for us from him, or declare war to him. So Abu Sufyan bin Harb and Hakim bin Hizam set out, and they met Budayl bin Warqa', and they took him along with them, until when they reached al-Arak near Makkah, and it was night-time, they saw the tents and the army and heard the neighing of horses. This frightened and alarmed them, and they said: These are Banu Ka'b, whom war has stirred up. Budayl said: These are far more than Banu Ka'b; it is not within their power to gather this many. Are Hawazin seeking pasture in our land? By Allah! We do not recognise this either; this looks like the people's Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent horsemen ahead of him who seized the spies, and Khuza'ah were posted on the road, letting no one pass. When Abu Sufyan and his companions entered the camp of the Muslims, the horsemen seized them in the darkness of the night and brought them, terrified and in fear of being killed. Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) rose towards Abu Sufyan and struck him on the neck with his fist, and the people were holding him; they wanted to take him in to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but the guards kept him from reaching the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he feared being killed. Al-Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) had been his close friend in the Jahiliyyah, so he called out at the top of his voice: Will you not take me to Abbas? So he came to him and defended him, and asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to place him in his custody, and he himself walked among the people in his place. Then Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted him with him in the darkness of the night and passed with him through the army of the people until all of them had seen him. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had said to Abu Sufyan when he struck him on the neck: By Allah! You will not come near the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until you die. So he appealed to Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) for help and said: I will surely be killed. So he kept the people from falling upon him. When he saw the size of the army and their obedience, he said: I have never seen a gathering of a people like tonight's. Then Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) freed him from their hands and said: You will be killed if you do not accept Islam and bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. He wanted to say what Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was telling him to, but his tongue would not move, so he spent the night with Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). As for Hakim bin Hizam and Budayl bin Warqa', they went in to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and accepted Islam, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) questioned them about the people of Makkah. When the call was given for the dawn prayer, the people began to stir, and Abu Sufyan was alarmed and said: O Abbas! What do these people want? Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: They are the Muslims, getting ready to attend the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went out with him, and when Abu Sufyan saw them heading to the prayer, bowing and prostrating in their prayer, prostrating when he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated, he said: O Abbas! Whatever he commands them, do they carry it out? Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Even if he forbade them food and drink, they would obey him. He said: O Abbas! Then speak to him about my people: does he have any room for pardoning them? So Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) set off with Abu Sufyan until he brought him in to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! This is Abu Sufyan. Abu Sufyan said: O Muhammad! I sought help from my god, and I sought help from your god, and by Allah! Every time I met you, you overcame me. If my god were true and your god false, I would have overcome you. So he bore witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Then Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I would like you to give me permission to go to your people, so that I may warn them of what has come upon them and call them to Allah and His Messenger. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission. Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What shall I say to them? Tell me of some guarantee of safety in this regard that will reassure them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say to them: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, alone, without partner, and bears witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and withholds his hand, is safe; whoever sits by the Ka'bah and lays down his weapon is safe; and whoever shuts his door upon himself is safe." Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Abu Sufyan is our cousin, and he wishes to return with me; it would be good if you were to honour him with some special favour. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan is safe." Abu Sufyan began trying to grasp the full meaning of this, and the house of Abu Sufyan was in upper Makkah. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And whoever enters the house of Hakim bin Hizam and withholds his hand is safe." The house of Hakim bin Hizam was in lower Makkah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on his white mule which Dihyah al-Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him) had gifted him, and Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) set off with Abu Sufyan seated behind him. When Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had set off, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent someone after him and said: "Catch up with Abbas and bring him back to me." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) told them of the concern he (peace and blessings be upon him) had. The messenger caught up with him, and Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked going back and said: Does the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fear that Abu Sufyan, seeing how few people there are, will go back and disbelieve after accepting Islam? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Detain him." So he detained him. Abu Sufyan said: O Banu Hashim! Is this treachery? Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We do not act treacherously, but I have some need of you. He said: What is it, so that I may fulfil it for you? Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This matter will be repeated when Khalid bin al-Walid and al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam come to you. So Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped at a narrow pass before al-Arak near Mina, and Abu Sufyan remembered what he had said. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent the horsemen one after another (in squadrons), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided the army into two parts. He sent al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), with Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) alongside him, with the army of Aslam, Ghifar and Quda'ah. Abu Sufyan said: O Abbas! Is this the Messenger of Allah? He said: No, rather this is Khalid bin al-Walid. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) ahead of him with a squadron of the Ansar, and he said: Today is the day of slaughter; today the sanctity will be made lawful. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered with the squadron of faith from the Muhajirun and the Ansar. When Abu Sufyan saw many faces he did not recognise, he said: O Messenger of Allah! You have made the army very large, or have you preferred these faces over your own people? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was you and your people who did that. These people believed me when you called me a liar, and these people helped me when you drove me out." With the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that day were al-Aqra' bin Habis, Abbas bin Mirdas and Uyaynah bin Badr al-Fazari. When he saw them around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: O Abbas! Who are these? He said: This is the squadron of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with it is red death; these are the Muhajirun and the Ansar. He said: Move on, O Abbas; I have never seen an army like today's, nor such a gathering. Al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) went on with the people until he halted at al-Hajun, and Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) pressed forward until he entered from lower Makkah. Some rabble of Banu Bakr met him and they fought them, and Allah defeated them; they were killed at al-Hazwarah until they entered the houses, and a group of them climbed on horses up al-Khandamah, and the Muslims pursued them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered among the last of the people, and a herald called out: Whoever shuts his house upon himself and withholds his hand is safe. Abu Sufyan called out in Makkah: Accept Islam and you will be safe. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, protected Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) from harm. Hind bint Utbah came and seized Abu Sufyan's beard, then called out: O (people of) Ghalib! Kill this foolish old man. He said: Let go of my beard; I swear to you that if you do not accept Islam, your neck will be struck. Woe to you! He has come to us with the truth, so go into your curtained couch — the narrator said: I think he said: and keep quiet.
