Hadith 34923
٣٤٩٢٣ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا سفيان عن قيس بن (مسلم) (١) عن طارق بن شهاب قال: جاء وفد بزاخة: أسد وغطفان إلى أبي بكر يسألونه الصلح فخيرهم أبو بكر بين الحرب (المجلية) (٢) أو السلم المخزية، قال: فقالوا: هذا الحرب المجلية قد عرفناها، فما السلم المخزية؟ قال: قال أبو بكر: تؤدون الحلقة والكراع، وتتركون أقواما (يتبعون) (٣) أذناب الإبل حتى يرى اللَّه خليفة نبيه ﷺ والمسلمين أمرا يعذرونكم به، وتدون قتلانا ولا ندي قتلاكم، وقتلانا في الجنة وقتلاكم في النار، وتردون ما أصبتم منا ونغنم ما أصبنا منكم، فقام عمر فقال: قد رأيت رأيًا وسنشير عليك، أما أن يؤدوا الحلقة والكراع فنعم ما رأيت، وأما أن يتركوا أقوامًا يتبعون أذناب الإبل حتى يرى اللَّه خليفة نبيه ﷺ والمسلمين أمرا يعذرونهم به، فنعم ما رأيت، وأما أن نغنم ما أصبنا منهم ويردون ما أصابوا منا فنعم ما رأيت، وأما (٤) قتلاهم في النار وقتلانا في الجنة فنعم ما ⦗٢٥٧⦘ رأيت، وأما أن لا ندي قتلاهم فنعم ما رأيت، وأما أن يدوا قتلانا فلا، قتلانا قتلوا عن أمر اللَّه فلا ديات لهم فتتابع الناس على ذلك (٥).
Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a delegation of the chiefs of the tribes of Asad and Ghatafan came to Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and they requested a truce from him. So Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave them the choice between a humiliating truce or a severe battle. They said, “We have understood what this severe and annihilating battle is. What is this humiliating truce?” Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “You will hand over all weapons and horses, and you will leave the people free to follow the tail of the camel, meaning to follow whomever they wish, until Allah shows to the Caliph of His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims something because of which they consider you excused. And you will pay the blood money for our slain, and we will not pay the blood money for your slain. Our slain are in Paradise and your slain are in Hell. And whatever you have taken from us, you will return it, and whatever we have taken from you will be considered war booty.”
Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: “Indeed, this is your opinion. And soon we will give you some advice. In any case, if they hand over the weapons and horses, then this is a very good opinion. And that they leave the people free to follow the tail of the camel until Allah shows to the Caliph of His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims something because of which they consider them excused, this too is a very good opinion. And that whatever wealth of theirs we have taken will be war booty, and whatever of ours they have taken, they will return to us, this too is a very good opinion. And that their slain are in Hell and our slain are in Paradise, this too is a very good opinion. And that we will not pay the blood money for their slain, this too is a very good opinion. And that they will pay the blood money for our slain, this is not correct, because our slain were killed in the cause of Allah, so there will be no blood money for them.” So the people agreed with this statement.
