Musnad Abi Ya'la 104 — the Prophet ﷺ sent him to the people of Makkah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to the people of Makkah with Surah Bara'ah, with this message: "After this year no polytheist shall perform Hajj, no naked person shall circumambulate the House of Allah, none shall enter Paradise except a Muslim soul, and whoever has a fixed term (of treaty) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that term of his shall stand, and 'Allah and His Messenger are free of (all obligations to) the polytheists.'" The narrator of the hadith, Zayd bin Yuthay' (may Allah have mercy on him), relates that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) had covered a journey of three days when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Go after him, send Abu Bakr back to me, and you yourself convey this message to the people of Makkah." So he did so. Then when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he wept (out of grief) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, has some (displeasing) command been revealed concerning me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nothing has happened concerning you except good; it is only that I have been commanded that this message be conveyed either by me myself or by a man who is from me (from my family)."
