Bayhaqi 5840 — The evidence of those who held that keeping silent

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذِلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ثنا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ يَعْنِي الْعُثْمَانِيَّ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ الرَّهْطَ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ بِخَيْبَرَ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَقَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَآهُمْ: " أَفْلَحْتِ الْوُجُوهُ " فَقَالُوا: أَفْلَحَ وَجْهُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: " أَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ فَدَعَا بِالسَّيْفِ الَّذِي قُتِلَ بِهِ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَلَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَجَلْ، هَذَا طَعَامُهُ فِي ذُبَابِ السَّيْفِ " وَكَانَ الرَّهْطُ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ، وَأَسْوَدُ بْنُ خُزَاعِيٍّ حَلِيفٌ لَهُمْ، وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ فِيمَا يَظُنُّ الزُّهْرِيُّ، وَلَا يَحْفَظُ الزُّهْرِيُّ الْخَامِسَ. وَهَذَا وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرْسَلًا فَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ، وَهَذِهِ قِصَّةٌ مَشْهُورَةٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَابِ الْمَغَازِي، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَذَكَرَا هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ وَذَكَرَا مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ مَسْعُودَ بْنَ سِنَانٍ..
Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka'b (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the group whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent to Ibn Abi al-Huqayq to kill him killed him and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon on the pulpit on Friday. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he said: 'Aflahat al-wujuh' "The faces have succeeded." They said: "O Messenger of Allah! Glad tidings to you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you kill him?" They replied: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) called for the sword with which he had been killed, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was still on the pulpit. He (peace and blessings be upon him) drew it and said: 'Ajal, hadha ta'amuhu fi dhubab al-sayf' "Yes, this is his food on the edge of the sword." In the group were Abdullah bin Atik and Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with them both), Aswad bin Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was their ally), and also Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), according to the opinion of al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him), but al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) did not remember the name of the fifth.
Although this is mursal (with a missing link in its chain), it is a good mursal.
