Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7243 — Abu Sufyan bin Harb said: The first day I

حَدَّثَنَا مَسْعَدَةُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْعَطَّارُ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ: " إِنَّ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ رَغِبْتُ فِيهِ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ لَيَوْمُ قَالَ قَيْصَرُ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ وَحَضْرَتِهِ مَا قَالَ - يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ: لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ لَمَشَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى أُقَبِّلَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَغْسِلَ قَدَمَيْهِ - قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: وَحَضَرْتُهُ يَتَحَادَرُ جَبِينُهُ عَرَقًا مِنْ كَرْبِ الصَّحِيفَةِ الَّتِي كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ. قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: فَمَا زِلْتُ مَرْغُوبًا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ حَتَّى أَسْلَمْتُ وَفِي " رِسَالَتِهِ: {يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا اللهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ، فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُولُوا اشْهَدُوا بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ} [آل عمران: ٦٤] ، {هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ، وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ} [التوبة: ٣٣] ، {قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حَتَّى يُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ} [التوبة: ٢٩] "
Abdullah bin Shaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Sufyan bin Harb (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The first day I felt drawn towards Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the day Caesar said what he said in his kingdom, his authority and his court — meaning his words: If I knew that he is the one, I would walk to him until I kissed his head and washed his feet. Abu Sufyan said: I was present when sweat was dripping from his forehead because of the distress of the letter which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had written to him. Abu Sufyan said: So I remained drawn towards Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until I accepted Islam. And in his (peace and blessings be upon him) message were these verses: "O People of the Book! Come to a word that is equal between us and you: that we worship none but Allah, that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims." [Surah Al Imran: 64], "It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religion, even though the polytheists dislike it." [Surah al-Tawbah: 33], "Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day, who do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and who do not adopt the religion of truth, from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the jizyah with their own hands while they are humbled." [Surah al-Tawbah: 29]
