أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، ثنا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَالَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ: عَلَى أَنَّ " مَنْ أَتَاهُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ رَدَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَمَنْ أَتَاهُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَرُدُّوهُ، وَعَلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَيُقِيمَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَا يَدْخُلَهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ السَّيْفِ وَالْقَوْسِ وَنَحْوِهِ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو جَنْدَلٍ يَحْجِلُ فِي قُيُودِهِ فَرَدَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah with the polytheists on three matters: "1. Whoever of the polytheists comes to you, you will return him; 2. Whoever of the Muslims comes to the disbelievers of Makkah will not be returned; 3. And you will enter Makkah the following year and stay there for three days, and you will come with the weapons, the sword and the like, in their sheaths." When Sayyiduna Abu Jandal (may Allah be pleased with him) came walking in his shackles, he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned him to the disbelievers.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا صَالَحَ قُرَيْشًا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " اكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ "، فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: لَا نَعْرِفُ الرَّحْمَنَ الرَّحِيمَ، اكْتُبْ " بِاسْمِكَ اللهُمَّ "، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " اكْتُبْ بِاسْمِكَ اللهُمَّ "، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا صَالَحَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: " لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَصَدَّقْنَاكَ وَلَمْ نُكَذِّبْكَ، اكْتُبِ اسْمَكَ وَاسْمَ أَبِيكَ، ⦗٣٨٠⦘ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ "، وَكَتَبَ: مَنْ أَتَانَا مِنْكُمْ رَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَنْ أَتَاكُمْ مِنَّا تَرَكْنَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نُعْطِيهِمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ أَتَاهُمْ مِنَّا فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ أَتَانَا مِنْهُمْ فَرَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَعَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا ". أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَفَّانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ.
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with Quraysh on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah, he said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Write: 'Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim' (I begin in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)." Suhayl bin Amr said: We do not know al-Rahman and al-Rahim; write: 'Bismika Allahumma' (O Allah, the beginning is with Your name). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Write: 'Bismika Allahumma' (O Allah, I begin with Your name)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Write that in this agreement Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), has made peace." Suhayl bin Amr immediately objected: If we accepted you as the Messenger of Allah, we would affirm you and never deny you; write your name and your father's name. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ali! Write: Muhammad bin Abdullah." And this condition was written: "Your men we will return, but our man will not be returned." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Shall we give them this? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever went from us, Allah has removed him far from us, and whoever we return, Allah will make a way out for him."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ، وَالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، فِي قِصَّةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَخُرُوجِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَرَى بَيْنَهُمَا الْقَوْلُ حَتَّى وَقَعَ الصُّلْحُ عَلَى أَنْ تُوضَعَ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمَا عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، وَأَنْ يَأْمَنَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَأَنْ يَرْجِعَ عَنْهُمْ عَامَهُمْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ قَدِمَهَا خَلَّوْا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مَكَّةَ فَأَقَامَ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا، وَأَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا بِسِلَاحِ الرَّاكِبِ وَالسُّيُوفِ فِي الْقُرُبِ، وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ أَتَانَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهِ لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ مِنَّا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهِ رَدَدْتَهُ عَلَيْنَا، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي كَتَبَةِ الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ: فَإِنَّ الصَّحِيفَةَ لَتُكْتَبُ إِذْ طَلَعَ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يَرْسُفُ فِي الْحَدِيدِ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُوهُ حَبَسَهُ فَأَفْلَتَ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سُهَيْلٌ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَ وَجْهَهُ وَأَخَذَ بِلُبَّتِهِ فَتَلَّهُ وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَدْ وَلِجَتِ الْقَضِيَّةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ هَذَا. قَالَ: " صَدَقْتَ ". وَصَاحَ أَبُو جَنْدَلٍ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَأُرَدُّ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَفْتِنُونَنِي فِي دِينِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِي جَنْدَلٍ: " أَبَا جَنْدَلٍ اصْبِرْ وَاحْتَسِبْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ جَاعِلٌ لَكَ وَلِمَنْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا، إِنَّا قَدْ صَالَحْنَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ وَجَرَى بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمُ الْعَهْدُ، وَإِنَّا لَا نَغْدِرُ ". فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَمْشِي إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَأَبُوهُ يَتُلُّهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَبَا جَنْدَلٍ اصْبِرْ وَاحْتَسِبْ فَإِنَّمَا هُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، وَإِنَّمَا دَمُ أَحَدِهِمْ دَمُ كَلْبٍ. وَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يُدْنِي مِنْهُ قَائِمَ السَّيْفِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ فَيَضْرِبَ بِهِ أَبَاهُ فَضَنَّ بِأَبِيهِ. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي التَّحَلُّلِ مِنَ الْعُمْرَةِ وَالرُّجُوعِ، قَالَا: وَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَاطْمَأَنَّ بِهَا أَفْلَتَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ الْأَخْنَسُ بْنُ شَرِيقٍ وَالْأَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَوْفٍ وَبَعَثَا بِكِتَابِهِمَا مَعَ مَوْلًى لَهُمَا وَرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ اسْتَأْجَرَاهُ لِيَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمَا صَاحِبَهُمَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَقَدِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ كِتَابَهُمَا، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ: " يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ صَالَحُونَا عَلَى مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، وَإِنَّا لَا نَغْدِرُ فَالْحَقْ بِقَوْمِكَ ". فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَرُدُّنِي إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَفْتِنُونَنِي فِي دِينِي وَيَعْبَثُونَ بِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ⦗٣٨١⦘ اصْبِرْ يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ وَاحْتَسِبْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ جَاعِلٌ لَكَ وَلِمَنْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا ". قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَخَرَجَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ جَلَسُوا إِلَى سُورِ جِدَارٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لِلْعَامِرِيِّ: أَصَارِمٌ سَيْفُكَ هَذَا يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَامِرٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ شِئْتَ. فَاسْتَلَّهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ عُنُقَهُ وَخَرَجَ الْمَوْلَى يَشْتَدُّ فَطَلَعَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " هَذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ رَأَى فَزَعًا ". فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: " وَيْحَكَ مَا لَكَ "؟ قَالَ: قَتَلَ صَاحِبُكُمْ صَاحِبِي. فَمَا بَرِحَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا السَّيْفَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَفَتْ ذِمَّتُكَ وَأَدَّى الله عَنْكَ وَقَدِ امْتَنَعْتُ بِنَفْسِي عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يَفْتِنُونِي فِي دِينِي وَأَنْ يَعْبَثُوا بِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْلُ امِّهِ مِحَشَّ حَرْبٍ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ ". فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِالْعِيصِ وَكَانَ طَرِيقَ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَسَمِعَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَبِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ، فَلَحِقُوا بِهِ حَتَّى كَانَ فِي عُصْبَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَرِيبٍ مِنَ السِّتِّينَ أَوِ السَّبْعِينَ، فَكَانُوا لَا يَظْفَرُونَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا قَتَلُوهُ، وَلَا تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِمْ عِيرٌ إِلَّا اقْتَطَعُوهَا حَتَّى كَتَبَتْ فِيهَا قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ بِأَرْحَامِهِمْ لَمَا آوَاهُمْ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا بِهِمْ، فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةَ.
Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) the story of al-Hudaybiyyah: When Suhayl bin Amr and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held talks and a ceasefire for ten years was agreed, the people became safe from one another. (It was agreed that) this year he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go back, and the following year he could come and stay in Makkah for three days, and on entering Makkah the weapons and swords would be kept in their sheaths; and if any of your people came to us without the permission of his guardian, he would not be returned, but if any of our people came to you, you would have to return him. He mentioned the writing of the agreement. The agreement was still being written when Sayyiduna Abu Jandal bin Suhayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, walking in iron shackles. His father had kept him imprisoned. When Suhayl saw him, he stood up, slapped him on the face, seized him by the neck and threw him down. Suhayl said: O Muhammad! The agreement between us was settled before he came. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have spoken the truth." Then Sayyiduna Abu Jandal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Muslims! Am I to be returned? They put me to trial regarding my religion. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Jandal (may Allah be pleased with him): "Be patient; Allah will create means of escape for you and for the other weak Muslims, for a covenant has been made between us which we do not wish to break." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Abu Jandal (may Allah be pleased with him) while his father was holding him down, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Abu Jandal! Be patient, for the blood of the polytheists is like the blood of a dog. And Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) brought the hilt of the sword close to him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I hoped that he would take it and strike his father with it, but he spared his father. Then he mentioned leaving the state of ihram of the Umrah and the return. Both of them, that is Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan (may Allah have mercy on him), say: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to Madinah, Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him), that is Utbah bin Asid bin Jariyah al-Thaqafi, an ally of Banu Zuhrah, also escaped and came after him. Al-Akhnas bin Shariq and al-Azhar bin Abd Awf wrote a letter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). A slave of theirs and another man from Banu Amir bin Lu'ayy brought this letter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In it was the demand that Abu Basir be returned. They gave the letter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Abu Basir! You know that we have a peace treaty with these people, and we do not wish to break our promise; go back to your people." Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Will you return me to the polytheists, who will put me to trial regarding my religion and toy with me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Basir! Be patient and hope for the reward."
"Allah will provide a wide way out for you and for the weak Muslims." The two of them took Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) and reached Dhu al-Hulayfah, where they sat down in the shade of a wall to rest. Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Amiri man: O man of Banu Amir! Your sword looks very strong. He said: The sword is indeed strong. Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May I look at it? The Amiri said: If you wish, you can draw it from the sheath and look at it. Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) struck off the head of that Amiri, and the slave ran off and reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the mosque. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this man, he said: "He has encountered something frightening." When he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has happened to you?" He said: Your companion has killed my companion. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived with his sword drawn. He stood before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Your promise has been fulfilled, and Allah has discharged your obligation; I have protected myself from the polytheists so that they cannot put me to trial regarding my religion. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to his mother! He is a kindler of war, if only he had some men with him." Then Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the route of the people of Makkah that led to Syria. When the Muslims of Makkah heard what he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said about him, they kept joining Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) until they became a group of about sixty or seventy people. They would not spare any man of Quraysh but would kill him, and they would plunder every caravan. Then Quraysh, compelled, wrote: Call them to yourself; we have no need of them. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) called back Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) and his group.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَتَّابٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ فَذَكَرَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةَ قَالَ فِيهَا: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْلُ امِّهِ مِسْعَرَ حَرْبٍ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ ". وَجَاءَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ بِسَلَبِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: خَمِّسْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " إِنِّي إِذَا خَمَّسْتُهُ لَمْ أُوْفِ لَهُمْ بِالَّذِي عَاهَدْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ شَأْنُكَ بِسَلَبِ صَاحِبِكَ وَاذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ ". فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةُ نَفَرٍ كَانُوا قَدِمُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى كَانُوا بَيْنَ الْعِيصِ وَذِي الْمَرْوَةِ مِنْ أَرْضِ جُهَيْنَةَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ عِيرَاتِ قُرَيْشٍ مِمَّا يَلِي سِيفَ الْبَحْرِ لَا يَمُرُّ بِهِمْ عِيرٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا أَخَذُوهَا وَقَتَلُوا أَصْحَابَهَا، وَانْفَلَتَ أَبُو جَنْدَلِ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فِي سَبْعِينَ رَاكِبًا أَسْلَمُوا وَهَاجَرُوا فَلَحِقُوا بِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يَقْدَمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هُدْنَةِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ بِمَعْنَى مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَأَتَمَّ مِنْهُ.
Isma'il bin Ibrahim bin Uqbah narrates from his paternal uncle Musa bin Uqbah concerning this story that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to his mother! (He is) a kindler of the fire of war, if only he had someone with him." And Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him) brought the belongings of the slain man to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Take the fifth." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I take the fifth, it would be as though I had not fulfilled my promise to them; but take these belongings and go wherever you wish." So Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him), along with five companions who had come from Makkah, (stayed between) al-'Is and Dhu al-Marwah (in the land of Juhaynah), from where any caravan of Quraysh that passed they would plunder, and they would kill its men. Sayyiduna Abu Jandal bin Suhayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) became Muslim and emigrated in a band of seventy men and joined Sayyiduna Abu Basir (may Allah be pleased with him), and because of the truce with the polytheists they did not like to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
