حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدَةَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرُونَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : " كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ ، فَكَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ : يَا لَلْأَنْصَارِ ، وَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ : يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا بَالُ دَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ؟ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَسَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ : دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ ، فَسَمِعَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ فَعَلُوهَا وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : دَعْنِي أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ ، فَقَالَ : دَعْهُ لَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported: We were along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that a person from amongst the emigrants struck at the back of a person from the Ansir. The Ansiri said: O Ansar! And the Muhijir said: O Emigrants! Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: What are these proclamations of the Days of Ignorance? They said: Allah's Messenger, a person from the emigrants struck at the back of an Ansari, whereupon he said: It is something disgusting. 'Abdullah bin Ubayy heard it and said: They have indeed done it. By Allah, when we would return to Madinah the respectable amongst them (the Ansar) would turn away the mean (the emigrants). Thereupon 'Umar said: Permit me so that I should strike the neck of this hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: Leave him, the people may not say that Muhammad kills his companions.
