Musnad Abi Ya'la 6864 — The tribe of Hamdan had taken refuge

حَدِيثُ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَهْرٍ
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَهْرٍ قَالَ : كَانَتْ هَمْدَانُ قَدْ تَحَصَّنَتْ فِي جَبَلٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ الْحَقْلُ ، مِنَ الْحَبَشِ ، قَدْ مَنَعَهُمُ اللهُ بِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَتْ هَمْدَانَ أَهْلُ فَارِسَ ، فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا مُحَارِبِينَ حَتَّى هَمَّ الْقَوْمَ الْحَرْبُ ، وَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمْرُ ، وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ لِي هَمْدَانُ : يَا عَامِرُ بْنَ شَهْرٍ ، إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ نَدِيمًا لِلْمُلُوكِ مُذْ كُنْتَ ، فَهَلْ أَنْتَ آتٍ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ، وَمُرْتَادٌ لَنَا ؟ فَإِنْ رَضِيتَ لَنَا شَيْئًا فَعَلْنَاهُ ، وَإِنْ كَرِهْتَ شَيْئًا كَرِهْنَاهُ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَجَلَسْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَجَاءَ رَهْطٌ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَوْصِنَا ، قَالَ : أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ ، وَأَنْ تَسْمَعُوا مِنْ قَوْلِ قُرَيْشٍ وَتَدَعُوا فِعْلَهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَاجْتَزَأْتُ بِذَلِكَ ، وَاللهِ ، مِنْ مَسْأَلَتِهِ ، وَرَضِيتُ أَمْرَهُ ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِي حَتَّى أَمُرَّ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ ، وَكَانَ لِي صَدِيقًا ، فَمَرَرْتُ بِهِ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ جَالِسٌ إِذْ مَرَّ ابْنٌ لَهُ صَغِيرٌ ، فَاسْتَقْرَأَهُ لَوْحًا مَعَهُ ، فَقَرَأَهُ الْغُلَامُ ، فَضَحِكْتُ ، فَقَالَ النَّجَاشِيُّ : مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَهَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى لِسَانِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ : إِنَّ اللَّعْنَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِذَا كَانَ أُمَرَاؤُهَا صِبْيَانًا ، قُلْتُ : مِمَّا قَرَأَ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ ؟ قَالَ : فَرَجَعْتُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهَذَا مِنَ النَّجَاشِيِّ ، وَأَسْلَمَ قَوْمِي ، وَنَزَلُوا إِلَى السَّهْلِ ، وَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - هَذَا الْكِتَابَ إِلَى عُمَيْرٍ ذِي مَرَّانٍ قَالَ : وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَالِكَ بْنَ مِرَارَةَ الرَّهَاوِيَّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ جَمِيعًا ، فَأَسْلَمَ عَكُّ ذِي خَيْوَانَ قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لِعَكٍّ : انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَخُذْ مِنْهُ الْأَمَانَ عَلَى قَوْمِكَ وَمَالِكَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَتْ لَهُ قَرْيَةٌ فِيهَا رَقِيقٌ وَمَالٌ ، فَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ مَالِكَ بْنَ مِرَارَةَ الرَّهَاوِيَّ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا يَدْعُونَا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمْنَا ، وَلِي أَرْضٌ فِيهَا رَقِيقٌ وَمَالٌ ، فَاكْتُبْ لِي كِتَابًا ، فَكَتَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ لِعَكٍّ ذِي خَيْوَانَ ، إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا فِي أَرْضِهِ وَرَقِيقِهِ وَمَالِهِ ، فَلَهُ الْأَمَانُ وَذِمَّةُ اللهِ وَذِمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَكَتَبَ خَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ .
Sayyiduna Amir bin Shahr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The tribe of Hamdan had taken refuge from the Abyssinians in a mountain called al-Haql, and Allah Almighty protected them by means of that mountain, until the people of Persia came against Hamdan. They kept fighting them until the people grew weary of war and the matter dragged on for them. Meanwhile the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared (as a prophet), and the people of Hamdan said to me: "O Amir bin Shahr, you have always been a companion of kings. Will you go to this man (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) and find out how matters stand for us? If you approve of something for us, we will adopt it, and if you dislike something, we will dislike it too." I said: "Yes." So I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah and sat with him. Meanwhile a group came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, give us counsel." He said: "I counsel you to fear Allah, and to listen to what Quraysh say but leave their (wrong) deeds." Sayyiduna Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah, I was content with that, instead of asking him anything further, and I was pleased with his affair. Then it occurred to me that before returning to my people I should pass by al-Najashi (the king of Abyssinia), for he was my friend. So I went to him. I was sitting with him when a young son of his passed by, and al-Najashi asked him to read a tablet he had with him, and the boy read it. I laughed (at this), and al-Najashi asked: "Why did you laugh? By Allah, this was revealed in exactly this way on the tongue of Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him): When the rulers of the earth are children, a curse descends upon it." I said: "I laughed because of what this boy read." Sayyiduna Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then I returned, having heard this (first) saying from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and this (second) one from al-Najashi. So my people accepted Islam and came down from the mountain to the plain. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote this letter to Umayr Dhi Marran. Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Malik bin Mirarah al-Rahawi (may Allah be pleased with him) to all of Yemen (as a caller to Islam), as a result of which Akk Dhi Khaywan also accepted Islam. Then Akk was told: "Go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and obtain from him a guarantee of safety for your people and your wealth." He had a village in which there were slaves and wealth. So he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, Malik bin Mirarah al-Rahawi came to us and invited us to Islam, and we became Muslims. I have land in which there are slaves and wealth, so write a document for me." the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote for him: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This document is from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), to Akk Dhi Khaywan: If he is truthful (in his claim of ownership) regarding his land, his slaves and his wealth, then he has a guarantee of safety, and he has the protection of Allah and the protection of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." And this document was written by Sayyiduna Khalid bin Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).
