Bayhaqi 18182 — How protection is granted

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ لَفْظًا، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الرَّقِّيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، ثنا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ حَيَّةَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ النَّاسَ مِنْ أَفْنَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ يُقَاتِلُونَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَذَلِكَ، إِذْ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَهْوَازِ قَدْ أُسِرَ، فَلَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهِ قَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِلْهُرْمُزَانِ: أَيَسُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تُقْتَلَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا قَرَّبُوكَ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَكَلَّمَكَ فَقُلْ: إِنِّي أَفْرَقُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ، فَيَقُولُ: لَا تَفْرَقْ، فَإِنْ أَرَادَ قَتْلَكَ فَقُلْ: إِنِّي فِي أَمَانٍ، إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لَا تَفْرَقْ. قَالَ: فَحَفِظَهَا الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهِ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَا يُسَائِلُهُ عَنْهُ: " إِنِّي أَفْرَقُ ". يَعْنِي، فَقَالَ: لَا تَفْرَقْ. قَالَ: " فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ سَاءَلَهُ عَمَّا شَاءَ اللهُ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: " إِنِّي قَاتِلُكَ "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: فَقَدْ أَمَّنْتَنِي. فَقَالَ: " وَيْحَكَ مَا أَمَّنْتُكَ ". قَالَ: قُلْتَ: لَا تَفْرَقْ. قَالَ: " صَدَقَ إِمَّا لَا فَأَسْلِمْ ". قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَأَسْلَمَ. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ.
Jubayr bin Hayyah said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent people from various cities to fight the polytheists. The narrator said: While Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was thus engaged, a polytheist man from the people of al-Ahwaz who had been taken captive was brought. When he was brought, some people said to al-Hurmuzan: Would you like not to be killed? He said: Yes, and how is that? They said: When they bring you near to the Commander of the Believers and he speaks to you, say: I am afraid to speak to you. He will say: 'La tafraq' (do not be afraid). Then if he wants to kill you, say: I am under safety, for you said 'la tafraq.' The man memorized this. Then when he was brought to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to him during some of his questioning: I am afraid. So he said: 'La tafraq' (do not be afraid). When he finished speaking with him, he asked him whatever Allah willed, then said: I am going to kill you. He said: You have given me safety. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you! I did not give you safety. He said: You said 'la tafraq.' He said: He has spoken the truth; if not (to be killed), then accept Islam. He said: Yes. And he accepted Islam. Then the long hadith follows.
