Bayhaqi 17735 — Permission to emigrate

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَارُ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ الْحَاجَّ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوَاسِمِ بمَجَنَّةَ وَعُكَاظٍ وَمَنَازِلِهِمْ بِمِنًى؟ مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالِاتِ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُؤْوِيهِ وَيَنْصُرُهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُدْخِلُ صَاحِبَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَالْيَمَنِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ أَوْ ذَوُو رَحِمِهِ، فَيَقُولُونَ: احْذَرْ فَتَى قُرَيْشٍ لَا يُصِيبُكَ، يَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ، يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَصَابِعِهِمْ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، ويُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ يَثْرِبَ إِلَّا فِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللهُ فَائْتَمَرْنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَّا، فَقُلْنَا: حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَالُ، أَوْ قَالَ: وَيَخَافُ، فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْسِمَ فَوَعَدَنَا شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا فِيهِ عِنْدَهُ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟، قَالَ: " تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ، وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللهِ لَا يَأْخُذُكُمْ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ، وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي إِنْ قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَثْرِبَ، وَتَمْنَعُونِي مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ "، فَقُلْنَا: نُبَايِعُكَ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ ⦗١٧⦘ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ رَجُلًا إِلَّا أَنَا، فَقَالَ: رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ، إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ، وَأَنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً، وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ، وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى عَضِّ السُّيُوفِ وَقَتْلِ خِيَارِكُمْ وَمُفَارَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً، فَخُذُوهُ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللهِ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خِيفَةً فَذَرُوهُ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ، فَقَالُوا: أَخِّرْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ يَا أَسْعَدُ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ، فَوَاللهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا، فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا يَأْخُذُ عَلَيْنَا شَرْطَهُ وَيُعْطِينَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Makkah for ten years. In the Hajj season he (peace and blessings be upon him) would follow the pilgrims to their lodgings at Majannah and Ukaz, and likewise he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to their lodgings at Mina, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "Whoever gives me shelter and helps me so that I may convey the messages of Allah and deliver them to the people, for him is Paradise." But no one was willing to give him (peace and blessings be upon him) shelter or to help him, to the extent that when a man came from Mudar or Yemen, his people and his relatives would tell him: Beware of a young man of Quraysh and do not meet him. He goes to people's dwellings and calls them to the religion of Allah, and people point at him (peace and blessings be upon him) with their fingers. Until Allah Almighty chose us in Madinah: a man from among us would come to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and believe in him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would teach him the Qur'an. Then that man would return home, and because of his Islam his family would also accept Islam, until there was no house in Yathrib (Madinah) without a group of Muslims in it, and these people would spread Islam. Then Allah Almighty chose us for this task, and seventy of us gathered and consulted together, and said: How long will he (peace and blessings be upon him) be driven about in the mountains of Makkah, and how long will he (peace and blessings be upon him) spend a life of fear in these mountains? After that we set out and met him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Hajj season, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) promised to meet us in the valley (shi'b) of al-Aqabah, so we entered it one by one and two by two until we were all gathered, and we said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! On what shall we pledge allegiance to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pledge allegiance to me to hear and obey, in eagerness and in reluctance; to spend in prosperity and in hardship; to enjoin good and forbid evil; not to care about the blame of any blamer in calling to the religion of Allah or acting upon it; and that if I come to you in Yathrib you will help me and protect me from what you protect yourselves, your wives and your children from; then in that case Paradise is yours."
We said: We pledge allegiance to you, and we stood up to pledge. Sayyiduna As'ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the youngest of those seventy men except for me, took hold of his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand and said: People of Yathrib! Wait a moment! We have come to him (peace and blessings be upon him) driving our camels hard (that is, after a long journey) with the certainty that he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Taking him away from here today means enmity with all the Arabs, the killing of your choicest leaders and the strike of swords. So if you can bear all this, then take him, and your reward is with Allah; but if your lives are dear to you, then leave him right now, for that will be a more acceptable excuse before Allah. The people said with one voice: O As'ad bin Zurarah! Take away your hand! By Allah! We will neither abandon this pledge nor break it. Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: We stood up one by one, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge from us, and in return gave us the glad tidings of Paradise.
