Bayhaqi 17731 — The beginning of obligations upon the Prophet ﷺ

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ} [الحجر: ٩٥]، قَالَ: الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَالْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ، وَالْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَأَبُو زَمْعَةَ، مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَيْطَلٍ السَّهْمِيُّ، وَالْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ شَكَاهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرَاهُ الْوَلِيدَ أَبَا عَمْرِو بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ، فَأَوْمَأَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى أَبْجَلِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟، قَالَ: كُفِيتُهُ، ثُمَّ أَرَاهُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَأَوْمَى جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟، قَالَ: كُفِيتُهُ، ثُمَّ أَرَاهُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ الزُّهْرِيَّ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟، قَالَ ⦗١٥⦘ كُفِيتُهُ، وَمَرَّ بِهِ الْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى أَخْمَصِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟، قَالَ: كُفِيتُهُ، فَأَمَّا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَمَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَهُوَ يَرْيِشُ نَبْلًا لَهُ فَأَصَابَ أَبْجَلَهُ فَقَطَعَهَا، وَأَمَّا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَعَمِيَ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: عَمِيَ هَكَذَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: نَزَلَ تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: يَا بَنِيَّ أَلَا تَدْفَعُونَ عَنِّي؟ قَدْ قُتِلْتُ، فَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ: مَا نَرَى شَيْئًا، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى عَمِيَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، وَأَمَّا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَخَرَجَ فِي رَأْسِهِ قُرُوحٌ فَمَاتَ مِنْهَا، وَأَمَّا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَيْطَلٍ فَأَخَذَهُ الْمَاءُ الْأَصْفَرُ فِي بَطْنِهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ خُرْؤُهُ مِنْ فِيهِ فَمَاتَ مِنْهَا، وَأَمَّا الْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ يَوْمًا إِذْ دَخَلَ فِي رَأْسِهِ شِبْرِقَةٌ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتْ مِنْهَا فَمَاتَ مِنْهَا، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: فَرَكِبَ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَرَبَضَ بِهِ عَلَى شِبْرِقَةٍ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي أَخْمَصِ قَدَمِهِ شَوْكَةٌ فَقَتَلَتْهُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "Indeed We suffice you against those who mock" [Surah al-Hijr: 95]: Those who mocked him (peace and blessings be upon him) were these people: al-Walid bin al-Mughirah, al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth al-Zuhri, al-Aswad bin al-Muttalib (Abu Zam'ah) of Banu Asad bin Abd al-Uzza, al-Harith bin Aytal al-Sahmi and al-As bin Wa'il. After that Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) complained to Jibril (peace be upon him) about these people. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) showed Jibril (peace be upon him) al-Walid bin al-Mughirah, and Jibril (peace be upon him) pointed to the thick vein of his arm. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What have you done?" He said: You have been sufficed against him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) showed him al-Aswad bin al-Muttalib, and Jibril (peace be upon him) pointed to his eye. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What have you done?" Jibril (peace be upon him) said: You have been saved (from his evil and harm). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) showed him al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth al-Zuhri, and he pointed to his head. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What have you done to him?" He said: You have been saved from him. Then al-As bin Wa'il passed by, and he pointed to the hollow of his foot. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What have you done?" He said: Be at ease (and see their end). After that al-Walid bin al-Mughirah passed by a man of Banu Khuza'ah who was fixing the feathers of his arrow; the arrow struck al-Walid bin al-Mughirah's vein and cut it. As for al-Aswad bin al-Muttalib, he went blind: some say he simply went blind, and some say he alighted under an acacia tree and began saying to his sons: Save me! I am dying. They said: We see nothing from which to save you. He remained in this state until his eyes went blind. As for al-Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth al-Zuhri, sores broke out on his head and he died of those sores. Likewise yellow water (pus and the like) filled the belly of al-Harith bin Aytal, so that his excrement came out of his mouth, and he too died of it. As for al-As bin Wa'il, it happened to him as well: a thorn entered the head of this (insolent man) and spread through his whole head, and he died of it. Others have related that he set out towards Ta'if riding his donkey; on the way the donkey lay down with him on a thorny plant, a thorn pierced the sole of his foot, and that thorn became the cause of his death (and this accursed man too died).
