Musnad Abi Ya'la 398 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، أَخْبَرَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ إِلَى رَوْضَةِ خَاخٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْنَا تَتَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا ، فَأَقْبَلْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُفَتِّشَنَّ الثِّيَابَ ، قَالَ : فَأَخْرَجَتْ مِنْ عِقَاصِ شَعَرِهَا كِتَابًا ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا هَذَا يَا حَاطِبُ ؟ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا كَتَبْتُهُ ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي ، وَاعْتَذَرَ بِشَيْءٍ - مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِهَا غَرِيبًا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا - فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ ، قَالَ : وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ لَعَلَّ اللهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى 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-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) towards the place Rawdat Khakh and said: 'There is a woman there who has a letter.'" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We set off, our horses galloping with us, and when we reached the woman we said (sternly): "Bring out the letter yourself, or else we will search your clothes." So she took the letter out of the braids of her hair and handed it over. When the letter was examined, it contained this message from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Makkah, in which he had informed them of some of the plans of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Hatib, what is this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I did not do this as an apostate from my religion," and he offered his excuse with something whose meaning was that he was a stranger in Makkah without anyone to back him, or something similar. At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, allow me to strike off the neck of this hypocrite." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar, how do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said concerning them: 'Do whatever you wish, I have forgiven you.'"
