حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبِي، ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَنْشَأَ النَّاسُ الْحَجَّ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ مُسْلِمًا فاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ: «إنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلوكَ» ، فَقَالَ: لَو وَجَدُوني نَائِمًا مَا أَيْقَظُونِي، فَأَذِنَ لَه رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ مُسْلِمًا فَقَدَّمَ عَشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ يُحَيِّونَهُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاتَّهَمُوهُ وَأَغْضَبُوهُ وَأَسْمَعُوهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْتَسِبُ، ثُمّ خَرَجُوا مِن عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسَّحَّرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عَلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِن ثَقِيفٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ عُرْوَةَ مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ يَاسِينَ دَعَا قَوْمَهُ إِلَى اللهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ»
Imam Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: When the people set out for Hajj in the year 9 AH, Urwah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as a Muslim. Then he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to return to his people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear that they will kill you." He said: "If they found me asleep, they would not even wake me." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, and he returned to his people as a Muslim. He prepared an evening meal, and the people of Thaqif came to greet him, so he invited them to Islam. They accused him, angered him and made him hear things he had never imagined. Then they left him, until, when they had eaten their pre-dawn meal and dawn broke, he stood on an upper room of his house, gave the call to prayer (adhan) and recited the testimony of faith (tashahhud). Then a man from Thaqif shot him with an arrow and killed him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of Urwah is like the example of the man of Ya-Sin, who called his people to Allah and they killed him."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ هَارُونَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا صَدَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وأَقَامَ النَّاسُ حَجَّهُمْ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ: «إنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلوكَ» فَقَالَ: لَو وَجَدُوني نَائِمًا مَا أَيْقَظُونِي، فَأَذِنَ لَه رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ فَقَدَّمَ عَشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ يُحَيِّونَهُ فَدَعَاهُم إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَنَصَحَ لَهُم فاتَّهَمُوهُ وعَصَوْهُ وأَسْمَعُوهُ مِن الْأَذَى مَا لَم يَكُنْ يخشاهُمْ عَلَيْه فَخَرَجُوا مِن عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسَّحَّرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عَلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِن قُرَيْشٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ "
Imam Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set off back (from Hajj) and the people had performed their Hajj, Urwah bin Mas'ud al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and became Muslim. Then he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to return to his people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear that they will kill you." He said: "If they found me asleep, they would not even wake me." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, and he returned to Ta'if. He prepared an evening meal, and the people of Thaqif came to greet him, so he invited them to Islam and gave them sincere counsel. They accused him, disobeyed him and made him hear such hurtful words as he had never thought they would say to him. Then they left him, until, when they had eaten their pre-dawn meal and dawn broke, he stood on an upper room of his house, gave the call to prayer (adhan) and recited the testimony of faith (tashahhud). Then a man from Quraysh shot him with an arrow and killed him.
