حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أُتِيَ بِحَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِغَيْرِ إِيمَانٍ مِنْ قَلْبِي ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ أَهْلٌ وَخَدَمٌ يَمْنَعُونَ لَهُ أَهْلَهُ ، فَكَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ اللهُ لِي بِذَلِكَ أَهْلِي ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : ائْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَوَكُنْتَ قَاتِلَهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Did you write this letter?" He said: "Yes. But by Allah, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this (act) was not due to any lack or absence of faith in my heart. Rather, the fact is that there is no one from Quraysh who does not have family and servants (in Makkah) who protect his household, so I wrote this letter in the hope that through it Allah Almighty would protect my family." At that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),) grant me permission (to act) regarding him." the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you want to kill him?" He said: "Yes, if you grant me permission for it." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty has looked upon the people of Badr and has said (in their favour): 'Do whatever you wish (I have forgiven you).'"
