أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الشَّطَوِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ الْيَهُودِيِّ وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ أَرْضَ الْحِجَازِ، فَنَدَبَ لَهُ سَرَايَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَأَمَرَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ، وَكَانَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ فِي حَصِينٍ لَهُ بِأَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَوْا مِنْهْ غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَرَاحَ النَّاسُ بِسَرْحِهِمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ: اجْلِسُوا مَكَانَكُمْ فَإِنِّي مُنْطَلِقٌ فَمُتَطَلِّعٌ الْأَبْوَابَ لَعَلِّي أَدْخُلُ فَأَقْتُلُهُ. حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا مِنَ الْبَابِ تَقَنَّعَ بِثَوْبِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقْضِي حَاجَةً، وَقَدْ دَخَلَ النَّاسُ فَهَتَفَ بِهِ الْبَوَّابُ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فَادْخُلْ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُغْلِقَ الْبَابَ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّاسُ أَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ عَلَّقَ الْأَقَالِيدَ عَلَى وَتَدٍ. قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ إِلَى الْأَقَالِيدِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَفَتَحْتُ الْبَابَ، وَكَانَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ يُسْمَرُ عِنْدَهُ فِي عَلَالِيَّ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ عَنْهُ أَهْلُ سَمَرِهِ صَعِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَجَعَلْتُ كُلَّمَا فَتَحْتُ بَابًا أَغْلَقْتُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ نَذِرُوا بِي لَمْ يَخْلُصُوا إِلِيَّ حَتَّى أَقْتُلَهُ. قَالَ: فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي بَيْتٍ مُظْلِمٍ وَسْطَ عِيَالِهِ لَا أَدْرِي أَيْنَ هُوَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَبَا رَافِعٍ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَأَهْوِي نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ فَأَضْرِبُهُ ضَرْبَةً غَيْرَ طَائِلٍ وَأَنَا دَهِشٌ، فَلَمْ أُغْنِ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا وَصَاحَ، فَخَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَمَكَثْتُ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، فَقَالَ: لِأُمِّكَ الْوَيْلُ رَجُلٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ ضَرَبَنِي قَبْلُ بِالسَّيْفِ، قَالَ: فَأَضْرِبُهُ ضَرْبَةً ثَانِيَةً وَلَمْ أَقْتُلْهُ، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ ضَبَابَةَ السَّيْفِ فِي بَطْنِهِ ثُمَّ اتَّكَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ أَخَذَ فِي ظَهْرِهِ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَفْتَحُ الْأَبْوَابَ بَابًا بَابًا حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى دَرَجَةٍ، فَوَضَعْتُ رِجْلِي وَأَنَا أَرَى أَنِّي قَدِ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَوَقَعْتُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُقْمِرَةٍ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ رِجْلِي فَعَصَبْتُهَا بِعِمَامَتِي، ثُمَّ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ، قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَخْرُجُ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ أَوْ لَا، فَلَمَّا صَاحَ الدِّيكُ قَامَ النَّاعِي عَلَى السُّورِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْعَى أَبَا رَافِعٍ تَاجِرَ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَتَعَجَّلُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي، فَقُلْتُ: النَّجَاءَ، قَدْ قَتَلَ اللهُ أَبَا رَافِعٍ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ: " ابْسُطْ رِجْلَكَ "، فَبَسَطْتُهَا فَمَسَحَهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا لَمْ أَشْتَكِهَا قَطُّ. ⦗١٣٨⦘.
Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assigned a group of the Ansar to deal with Abu Rafi' the Jew, who lived in the Hijaz, and their commander was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Rafi' used to harm the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and help others against him (peace and blessings be upon him). His fortress was in the Hijaz. When this group of Companions drew near to it, the sun was about to set and the people were taking their livestock home. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "Stay where you are. I will go and find out about the gate; perhaps I can get inside and kill him." When he came near the gate, he wrapped himself in his garment like someone relieving himself. The people had entered the fortress, and the gatekeeper called out: "O servant of Allah! If you want to come in, come in, for I want to close the gate." The narrator said: I too went in. When all the people had entered, he closed the gate and hung the keys on a peg. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I took the keys and opened the gate. Storytellers used to sit with Abu Rafi' at night. When those who talked with him at night had left, I climbed up to Abu Rafi'. Whenever I opened a door, I closed it behind me from the inside. I said (to myself): Let the people leave me alone until I have killed him. When I reached him, he was in a dark room in the midst of his family. I did not know where in the room he was, so I said: Abu Rafi'! He said: Who is this? I moved toward the voice and struck a blow, but it was of no use; I was flustered and achieved nothing. He screamed. I went out of the room but did not go far. Then I came back and asked: O Abu Rafi', what was that noise? He said: Woe to your mother! There is a man in the room who is striking me with a sword." Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I struck him a second time but could not kill him. Then I placed the point of the sword in his belly and pressed down on it until I heard it come out the other side, and I knew that I had killed him. Then I opened the doors one by one until I reached the stairs. I put my foot down, thinking that I had reached the ground, and I fell on that moonlit night and my leg broke, so I bound it with my turban. Then I went out and sat by the gate. I said: By Allah! I will not leave until I know whether or not I have killed him. When the rooster crowed, a man announcing a death stood on the wall and said: I announce the death of Abu Rafi'. I hurried to my companions and said: Allah has destroyed Abu Rafi'. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Stretch out your leg.' I stretched it out, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over it, and it felt as though I had never had any pain at all."
