اسْتِدْلَالًا بِمَا رُوِيَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَفَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ قَتْلِ أَبِيهِ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ ابْنِهِ.
By way of evidence from the report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) restrained Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) from killing his father, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) from killing his son.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، إِمْلَاءً، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ، ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: شَهِدَ أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ بَدْرًا، وَدَعَا أَبَاهُ عُتْبَةَ، إِلَى الْبِرَازِ يَعْنِي، فَمَنَعَهُ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لَمْ يَزَلْ عَلَى دِينِ قَوْمِهِ فِي الشِّرْكِ حَتَّى شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَدَعَا إِلَى الْبِرَازِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِيُبَارِزَهُ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: مَتِّعْنَا بِنَفْسِكَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَسْلَمَ فِي هُدْنَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ.
Ibn Abi al-Zinad relates from his father (Abu al-Zinad) (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in Badr and challenged his father Utbah to single combat, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented him. Muhammad bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) took part in the Battle of Badr on the side of the polytheists and called for single combat, so Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up (to face him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Let us benefit from your life." Later, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam around (the time of) Hudaybiyah.
