أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، وَأَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُزَكِّي، قَالَا: ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ⦗١١٢⦘ الْحَنَفِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْلًا نَحْوَ أَرْضِ نَجْدٍ فَجَاءَتْ بِرَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ أُثَالٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، فَرَبَطُوهُ بِسَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ " قَالَ: عِنْدِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ خَيْرٌ، إِنْ تَقْتُلْنِي تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمٍ، وَإِنْ تُنْعِمْ تُنْعِمْ عَلَى شَاكِرٍ، وَإِنْ تُرِدِ الْمَالَ فَسَلْ تُعْطَ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ. فَتَرَكَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ "، فَقَالَ: عِنْدِي مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ. فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَطْلِقُوا ثُمَامَةَ ". فَخَرَجَ ثُمَامَةُ إِلَى نَخْلٍ قَرِيبٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ وَجْهٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلِيَّ مِنْ وَجْهِكَ، وَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ وَجْهُكَ أَحَبَّ الْوُجُوهِ إِلِيَّ، وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ دِينٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلِيَّ مِنْ دِينِكَ وَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ دِينُكَ أَحَبَّ الْأَدْيَانِ إِلِيَّ، وَوَاللهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَلَدٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلِيَّ مِنْ بَلَدِكَ، وَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ بَلَدُكَ أَحَبَّ الْبُلْدَانِ كُلِّهَا إِلِيَّ، وَإِنَّ خَيْلَكَ أَخَذَتْنِي وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ، فَمَاذَا تَرَى؟ فَبَشَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ بِمَكَّةَ: أَصَبَوْتَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا، وَاللهِ مَا صَبَوْتُ وَلَكِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاللهِ لَا يَأْتِيكُمْ حَبَّةُ حِنْطَةٍ مِنَ الْيَمَامَةِ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a detachment towards Najd. That detachment captured and brought back Thumamah bin Uthal, who was the chief of the region of Yamamah. They tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to him and asked him: "O Thumamah! How are you?" He replied: I am well. If you kill me, you will kill a man whose blood will be avenged; if you show favour, the favour will be met with gratitude; and if you want wealth, then ask, and you will be given as much wealth as you wish. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left him and went away. When the next day came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about his state: "Thumamah! What is on your mind?" He replied: If you show favour, your (peace and blessings be upon him) favour will be met with gratitude; if you kill, you will kill a man whose blood will be avenged; and if you want wealth, you will be given as much wealth as you want. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left him again and went away. When the third day came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, and he gave the same reply. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Release Thumamah." So he went to a palm grove near the mosque, took a bath, then entered the mosque and declared: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh' (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant and Messenger of Allah). O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! By Allah, there was no face on the face of the earth more hateful to me than your face, but now your face has become the most beloved of all faces to me. By Allah, there was no religion more hateful to me than your religion, but now your religion has become the most beloved of all religions to me. By Allah, no city was more hateful to me than your city, but now your city has become the dearest of all cities to me. Your detachment captured me when I intended to perform Umrah; what is your view now? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him glad tidings and said: "Go and perform Umrah." When he came to Makkah, someone said: Have you become a Sabi'? He said: No; rather, I have entered Islam with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, not a single grain of wheat from Yamamah will come to you until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gives permission for it.
