Musnad Abi Ya'la 1534 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a small
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، عَنْ صَاحِبٍ لَهُ وَهُوَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّوَّارِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ رَهْطًا وَبَعَثَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ، فَلَمَّا أَخَذَ يَنْطَلِقُ لَكِنَّهُ بَكَى صُبَابَةً إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثَ رَجُلًا مَكَانِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَحْشٍ، وَكَتَبَ لَهُ كِتَابًا، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ لَا يُكْرِهَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَلَى الْمَسِيرِ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ الْكِتَابَ، اسْتَرَجَعَ، وَقَالَ: سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ - يَعْنِي لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ - خَبَرُهُمُ الْخَبَرُ، وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْكِتَابَ، فَرَجَعَ رَجُلَانِ، وَمَضَى بَقِيَّتُهُمْ، فَلَقَوُا ابْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ، فَقَتَلُوهُ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ أَوْ مِنْ جُمَادَى، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ: فَعَلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ، فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَحَدَّثُوهُ الْحَدِيثَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيهِ قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِيهِ كَبِيرٌ} [البقرة: 217] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ} [البقرة: 217] قَالَ: «الشِّرْكُ»، قَالَ بَعْضُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي السَّرِيَّةِ: وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلَهُ إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ، فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا، فَقَدْ وَلِيتُهُ، وَإِنْ يَكُ ذَنْبًا فَقَدْ عَمِلْتَهُ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أَصَابُوا فِي شَهْرِهِمْ هَذَا وِزْرًا، فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِيهِ أَجْرٌ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُولَئِكَ يَرْجُونَ رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيم ٌ}
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jundub bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a small detachment and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander. When he was about to set off, he wept out of grief at separation from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and longing for him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) in his place, wrote a letter for him, and instructed him not to compel any of his companions to go with him. When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) read the letter, he recited "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (We belong to Allah and to Him we return)" and said: "The command of Allah and His Messenger is upon my head and eyes (I hear and obey)." Then he read the letter to his companions, and two men from among them turned back while the rest went on with him. Then they encountered Ibn al-Hadrami and killed him; at that time they could not tell whether Rajab (a sacred month) had begun or whether it was still Jumada al-Akhirah. Then the polytheists taunted the Muslims: "You have fought in the sacred month." So those Companions came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole incident, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "People ask you about fighting in the sacred month. Say: Fighting in it is a great sin," up to His saying: "And fitnah is a greater sin than killing." Here fitnah means "shirk". Some of those who were in that expedition said: "By Allah! Only one man killed him; if this is a good deed, I am responsible for it, and if it is a sin, it was committed by me." While some Muslims said that if they had not incurred sin for the killing in this month, then they would not get any reward for it either. Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, those who believed and those who emigrated and strove in the path of Allah, it is they who hope for the mercy of Allah, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful."
