Bayhaqi 11643 — The permissibility of hiring

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، أنبأ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: " وَاسْتَأْجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي عَبَّادٍ هَادِيًا خِرِّيتًا، وَالْخِرِّيتُ الْمَاهِرُ بِالْهِدَايَةِ، قَدْ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي حِلْفِ آلِ الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَأَمِنَاهُ وَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ، فَأَتَاهُمَا بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صَبِيحَةَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلَاثِ، فَارْتَحَلَا، وَانْطَلَقَ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ وَالدَّلِيلُ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقَ أَذَاخِرَ، وَهِيَ فِي طَرِيقِ السَّاحِلِ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) hired a man from Banu al-Dil, and then of Banu Abbad, as an expert guide; 'al-khirrit' means one skilled in guiding. He had dipped his hand in a pact of alliance with the family of al-As bin Wa'il, and he was on the religion of the disbelievers of Quraysh, yet the two of them trusted him. They handed him their two mounts and arranged with him to meet at the cave of Thawr after three nights. So he came to them with their mounts on the morning after the third night, and the two of them set off, and Amir bin Fuhayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the guide from al-Dil went with them. This guide took the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) along the coast.
