حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : اسْتَأْذَنَ جَعْفَرٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَرْضًا أَعْبُدُ اللهَ فِيهَا ، لَا أَخَافُ أَحَدًا ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ ، فَأَتَى النَّجَاشِيَّ قَالَ : فَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ مَكَانَهُ حَسَدْتُهُ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَاللهِ لَأَسْتَقْتِلَنَّ لِهَذَا وَأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ النَّجَاشِيَّ ، فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ بِأَرْضِكَ رَجُلًا ابْنُ عَمِّهِ بِأَرْضِنَا ، وَإِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلنَّاسِ إِلَّا إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ ، وَإِنَّكَ وَاللهِ إِنْ لَمْ تَقْتُلْهُ وَأَصْحَابَهُ لَا أَقْطَعُ إِلَيْكَ هَذِهِ النُّطْفَةَ أَبَدًا ، لَا أَنَا ، وَلَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي . قَالَ : ادْعُهُ ، قُلْتُ : إِنَّهُ لَا يَجِيءُ مَعِي ، فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِي رَسُولًا قَالَ : فَجَاءَ ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى الْبَابَ ، نَادَيْتُ ائْذَنْ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، فَنَادَاهُ هُوَ مِنْ خَلْفِي ائْذَنْ لِعُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ قَبْلِي قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِي فَدَخَلْتُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ . قَالَ : فَذَكَرَ أَيْنَ كَانَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ السَّرِيرِ ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ .
It is narrated from Umayr bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission (to emigrate) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "Grant me permission to go to a land where I can worship Allah (with full devotion) and not fear anyone." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission, and he went to the Negus (in Abyssinia). Umayr bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Then Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me (an incident from before his acceptance of Islam): "When I saw his rank and standing there, I became envious of him, and I said: By Allah, I will surely get this man and his companions killed. So I went to the Negus, presented myself in his court and said: In your land there is a man whose cousin is in our land, and he claims that people have only one God, Allah. By Allah, if you do not kill him and his companions, neither I nor any of my companions will ever cross this sea route to come to you. The Negus said: Call him. I said: He will not come with me; send a messenger of yours with me. When that messenger brought him to the door, I called out: Give Amr bin al-As permission to enter. And he (Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him)) called out from behind me: Give permission to the servant of Allah! The king heard his voice and gave him permission to enter before me. He entered along with his companions. Then I was given permission and I too went in, and saw that he was seated." Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the place of his seat near the throne, and then narrated the long hadith.
