Hadith 253
نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ أَبْنَاءُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ ثُمَامَةَ الْحَنَفِيَّ أُسِرَ ، فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْدُو إِلَيْهِ ، فَيَقُولُ : " مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ ؟ " فَيَقُولُ : إِنْ تَقْتُلْ تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمٍ ، وَإِنْ تَمُنَّ تَمُنَّ عَلَى شَاكِرٍ ، وَإِنْ تَرُدَّ الْمَالَ نُعْطِكَ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ ، وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّونَ الْفِدَاءَ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : مَا يُصْنَعُ بِقَتْلِ هَذَا ؟ فَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَأَسْلَمَ ، فَحَلَّهُ وَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى حَائِطِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ ، فَاغْتَسَلَ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقَدْ حَسُنَ إِسْلامُ أَخِيكُمْ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Thumamah al-Hanafi was taken captive (and was tied to a pillar in the Prophet’s Mosque). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to him every morning and say, “Thumamah, what do you have (to say)?” He would reply, “If you (peace be upon him) kill me, you will be killing someone whose blood will be avenged, and if you show kindness, you will be showing kindness to one who is grateful. And if you (peace be upon him) want wealth and riches, we will give you whatever you (peace be upon him) want.” The Noble Prophet’s (peace be upon him) companions preferred to take ransom and would say, “What will you (peace be upon him) do by killing him (i.e., there will be no benefit)?” So, one day the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) showed kindness to him (and released him), and he became a Muslim. The Prophet (peace be upon him) untied him and sent him to the garden of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered him to perform ghusl (ritual bath), so he performed ghusl and offered two rak‘ahs of prayer. Then the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The Islam of your brother is very good.”
