Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 396 — I heard Sayyiduna Ali say: The Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَأَبَا مَرْثَدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ ، وَكُلُّنَا فَارِسٌ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَبْلُغُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا صَحِيفَةٌ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَأْتُونِي بِهَا ، فَأَدْرَكْنَاهَا وَهِيَ تَسْتَنِدُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَهَا حَيْثُ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي مَعَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ ، فَأَنَخْنَا بَعِيرَهَا ، فَفَتَّشْنَا رَحْلَهَا ، فَقَالَ صَاحِبَيَّ : مَا نَرَى مَعَهَا شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْتُ : لَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا كَذَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَالَّذِي نَحْلِفُ بِهِ لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَأَجْزُرَنَّكِ - يَعْنِي السَّيْفَ - فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الْجِدَّ أَهْوَتْ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهَا ، وَعَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ ، فَأَخْرَجَتِ الْكِتَابَ ، فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا حَاطِبُ ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا بِي إِلَّا أَنْ أَكُونَ مُؤْمِنًا بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، وَلَكِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَ الْقَوْمِ يَدٌ يَدْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلَّا وَمِنْ قَوْمِهِ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صَدَقَ ، فَلَا تَقُولُوا لَهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ خَانَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَدَعْنِي حَتَّى أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَوَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ؟ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ .
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Marthad al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) on a mission, and all of us were horsemen. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Set off until you reach the place Rawdat Khakh. There you will find a woman who has a letter from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the polytheists; take that letter from her and bring it to me." So we found the woman at the very place the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had told us; she was sitting on her camel, leaning against the saddle. I said to her: "Where is the letter that you have?" She said: "I have no letter." Then we made her camel kneel and searched her saddle, and my two companions said: "We do not see anything with her." I said: "We know well that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell us a lie at all. By the One by whom we swear, either you will bring out that letter or I will strike off your neck (meaning, I will use the sword)." When she saw our seriousness and sternness, she reached for the waist-fold of her lower garment; she was wearing a woollen waist-wrap. She took out the letter and handed it over, and we brought it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Hatib, what led you to do this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, my intention was not to turn away from faith in Allah and His Messenger; rather, I wanted to do these people (the people of Makkah) a favour, in return for which Allah Almighty would protect my family and property residing in Makkah, because all of your Companions have their tribes and relatives there through whom Allah protects their households and property (while I have no one there)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has spoken the truth, so now say nothing about him except good." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, this man has betrayed Allah, His Messenger and the believers; allow me to strike off his neck." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is he not one of the people of Badr? And how do you know, O Umar? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish, Paradise has certainly become due for you.'"
