Musnad Abi Ya'la 3479 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ زَنْجُوَيْهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا افْتَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ ، قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ عِلَاطٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ لِي بِمَكَّةَ مَالًا ، وَإِنَّ لِي بِهَا أَهْلًا ، وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آتِيَهُمْ ، فَأَنَا فِي حِلٍّ إِنْ أَنَا نِلْتُ مِنْكَ أَوْ قُلْتُ شَيْئًا ؟ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا شَاءَ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ حِينَ قَدِمَ ، فَقَالَ : اجْمَعِي مَا كَانَ عِنْدَكِ ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ اسْتُبِيحُوا وَأُصِيبَتْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ ، قَالَ : وَفَشَا ذَلِكَ بِمَكَّةَ ، فَأَوْجَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَظْهَرَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَرَحًا وَسُرُورًا ، وَبَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، فَعَقِرَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَقُومَ .
قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي الْجَزَرِيُّ ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ الْعَبَّاسُ ابْنًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ : قُثَمُ ، وَكَانَ شَبَهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاسْتَلْقَى ، فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ :
حِبِّي قُثَمْ شَبِيهُ ذِي الْأَنْفِ الْأَشَمْ بَادِيَ النِّعَمْ بِرَغْمِ أَنْفِ مَنْ رَغِمْ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : قَالَ ثَابِتٌ : قَالَ أَنَسٌ : ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ غُلَامًا لَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ عِلَاطٍ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْلَكَ ، مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ ؟ وَمَاذَا تَقُولُ ؟ فَمَا وَعَدَ اللهُ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا جِئْتَ بِهِ ، قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ لِغُلَامِهِ : أَقْرِئْ أَبَا الْفَضْلِ السَّلَامَ ، وَقُلْ لَهُ : فَلْيُخْلِ لِي بَعْضَ بُيُوتِهِ لِآتِيَهُ ، فَإِنَّ الْخَبَرَ عَلَى مَا يَسُرُّهُ ، فَجَاءَ غُلَامُهُ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ ، قَالَ : أَبْشِرْ أَبَا الْفَضْلِ ، فَوَثَبَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَرَحًا حَتَّى قَبَّلَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ فَأَعْتَقَهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْحَجَّاجُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ وَغَنِمَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ ، وَجَرَتْ سِهَامُ اللهِ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ ، وَاصْطَفَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ ، وَاتَّخَذَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ ، وَخَيَّرَهَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهَا فَتَكُونَ زَوْجَتَهُ ، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تَلْحَقَ بِأَهْلِهَا ، فَاخْتَارَتْ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهَا وَتَكُونَ زَوْجَتَهُ ، وَلَكِنْ جِئْتُ لِمَا كَانَ لِي هَاهُنَا ، أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَهُ وَأَذْهَبَ بِهِ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَذِنَ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا شِئْتُ ، فَاخْفِ عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ اذْكُرْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ .
قَالَ : فَجَمَعَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهَا مِنْ حُلِيٍّ وَمَتَاعٍ فَجَمَعَتْهُ فَدَفَعَتْهُ إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَمَرَّ بِهِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ ، أَتَى الْعَبَّاسُ امْرَأَةَ الْحَجَّاجِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا فَعَلَ زَوْجُكِ ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ ، وَقَالَتْ : لَا يُحْزِنُكَ اللهُ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ ، لَقَدْ شَقَّ عَلَيْنَا الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، لَا يُحْزِنُنِي اللهُ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ إِلَّا مَا أَحْبَبْنَاهُ ، قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَجَّاجُ أَنَّ اللهَ فَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ، وَجَرَتْ فِيهَا سِهَامُ اللهِ ، وَاصْطَفَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفِيَّةَ لِنَفْسِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكِ حَاجَةٌ فِي زَوْجِكِ فَالْحَقِي بِهِ ، قَالَتْ : أَظُنُّكَ وَاللهِ صَادِقًا ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي صَادِقٌ ، وَالْأَمْرُ عَلَى مَا أَخْبَرْتُكِ .
قَالَ : ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ حَتَّى أَتَى مَجَالِسَ قُرَيْشٍ ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ : لَا يُصِيبُكَ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ ، قَالَ : لَمْ يُصِبْنِي إِلَّا خَيْرٌ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ ، قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَجَّاجُ أَنَّ خَيْبَرَ فَتَحَهَا اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ، وَجَرَتْ فِيهَا سِهَامُ اللهِ ، وَاصْطَفَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَفِيَّةَ لِنَفْسِهِ ، وَقَدْ سَأَلَنِي أَنْ أُخْفِيَ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِيَأْخُذَ مَا كَانَ لَهُ ثُمَّ يَذْهَبَ .
قَالَ : فَرَدَّ اللهُ الْكَآبَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ مُكْتَئِبًا حَتَّى أَتَوُا الْعَبَّاسَ ، وَرَدَّ اللهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ كَآبَةٍ أَوْ غَيْظٍ أَوْ خِزْيٍ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ .
قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي الْجَزَرِيُّ ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ الْعَبَّاسُ ابْنًا لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ : قُثَمُ ، وَكَانَ شَبَهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاسْتَلْقَى ، فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ :

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Khaybar, Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj bin Ilat (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, my wealth and my family are in Makkah, and I want to go to them. So am I permitted, if I say something against you or (apparently) disparage you (in order to get my wealth out)?" the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted him to say whatever he wished. When Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj reached Makkah, he came to his wife and said: "Gather whatever you have, for I want to buy some of the spoils of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions, because they have been overpowered and their wealth has been seized." This news spread in Makkah, which greatly grieved the Muslims, while the polytheists displayed joy and delight. When this news reached Sayyiduna al-Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), he collapsed, exhausted, in his gathering and had no strength left to stand. Ma'mar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: al-Jazari (may Allah have mercy on him) told me, on the authority of Miqsam (may Allah have mercy on him), that Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) took up his son Sayyiduna Qutham (may Allah be pleased with him), who resembled the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then lay on his back, placed his son on his chest and began reciting these verses: 'Hibbi Qutham, shabihu dhi al-anfi al-asham, badi al-ni'am, bi-raghmi anfi man raghim' ("My beloved Qutham resembles the one with the noble nose (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)), the one who makes blessings manifest; may the noses of the enemies be rubbed in the dust.") Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) related: Then Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) sent one of his slaves to Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj bin Ilat with the message: "Woe to you! What kind of news is this that you have brought? And what are you saying? Allah's promise is far better than what you have brought." Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj said to the slave: "Convey my greetings of peace to Abu al-Fadl (Sayyiduna al-Abbas) and tell him to empty one of the rooms of his houses for me so that I may come to him, for the real news is that which will make him happy." When the slave came back and reached the door, he said: "O Abu al-Fadl, rejoice!" Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) leapt up with joy, so much so that he kissed him between his eyes. Then, when the slave told him what Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj had said, he set the slave free. Then Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj came and informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "has conquered Khaybar and taken their wealth as spoils; the shares (appointed) by Allah have been distributed in their wealth; and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) for himself and taken her in marriage. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the choice that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would free her and she would become his (peace and blessings be upon him) wife, or she would join her family, and she preferred to be freed and become his (peace and blessings be upon him) wife." "But I came here to gather my wealth and take it away, so I asked permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that 'I may say whatever I wish.' So keep this matter hidden for three days, then say whatever you like." So his wife gathered all the jewellery and goods and gave them to him, and he set off with the wealth. After three days had passed, Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the wife of Sayyiduna al-Hajjaj and asked: "What has become of your husband?" She told him that he had left, and said: "O Abu al-Fadl, may Allah not grieve you; the news that reached you grieved us greatly too." Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, Allah will not grieve me, and praise be to Allah, nothing happened except what we loved. Al-Hajjaj told me that Allah has granted Khaybar to His Messenger as a conquest, the shares appointed by Allah have been distributed there, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen Sayyidah Safiyyah for himself. If you have need of your husband, go after him." She said: "By Allah, I think you are telling the truth." He said: "I am telling the truth, and the matter is as I have told you." Then Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went out and reached the gatherings of Quraysh. The people began saying to him in sympathy: "O Abu al-Fadl, may only good reach you (that is, may you be granted patience over this shock)." He said: "By the grace of Allah, only good has reached me. Al-Hajjaj told me that Allah has granted Khaybar to His Messenger as a conquest, the shares of Allah have been distributed there, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen Sayyidah Safiyyah for himself. Al-Hajjaj asked me to keep it hidden for three days, because he had come to take his wealth." So Allah Almighty turned the grief and sorrow that had come over the Muslims back onto the polytheists, and those Muslims who had shut themselves in their houses in sorrow came out joyfully and went to Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and Allah brought humiliation, rage and disgrace upon the polytheists.
