Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 394 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُشَمِيُّ ، وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، كَاتِبِ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً ، وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ تَجِدُونَهُ مَعَهَا ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَتَعَادَى ، حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ ، فَقُلْنَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُفَتِّشَنَّ الثِّيَابَ ، فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا ، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ : مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبًا ، فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ ، إِنَّمَا كُنْتُ مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلَّا لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مَنْ يَحْمِيهِ وَيَخْلُفُهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ غَيْرِي ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ عِنْدَهُمْ يَدًا ، وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ كُفْرًا وَلَا ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي ، وَلَا رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صَدَقَكُمْ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr and Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with them) on a mission, saying: "Go on until you reach the place 'Rawdat Khakh'. There will be a veiled woman on a mount who has a letter; take that letter from her." So we set off, racing our horses, until, when we reached that place, we found the woman there. We said to her: "Bring out the letter." She replied: "I have no letter." We said: "You will have to bring out the letter, or else we will take off your clothes and search you." Then she took the letter out of her braids (the knot of her hair) and handed it over. We brought the letter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it turned out that it was from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Makkah, in which he was informing them of some of the secret plans of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "What is this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), do not be hasty in my matter. The fact is that I lived among Quraysh merely as an attached member, and I was not from their actual tribe, whereas your (peace and blessings be upon him) other Emigrant Companions have relatives in Makkah who protect their families and property there. So I wished, since I have no tie of lineage with them, to do them some favour so that they would show consideration to my relatives. I did not do this out of disbelief or apostasy from my religion, nor out of being pleased with disbelief after accepting Islam." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has told you the truth." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), allow me to strike off the neck of this hypocrite!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "He took part in the Battle of Badr, and how do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and Himself said: 'Do whatever you wish, for I have certainly forgiven you.'"
