[Machine] The prophet of Allah, ﷺ , intended to invade them, so the prophet of Allah, ﷺ , guided him towards the woman who had the scripture with her. So he sent to her and took her book from her head and said, "O Hattib, have you done so?" Hattib replied, "Yes, but not as a deception to the messenger of Allah." Yunus said, "Not as a deception, O messenger of Allah, but out of loyalty. I knew that Allah supports His messenger and completes His command, but I was in a vulnerable position among them, and my mother was with them. So I wanted to have this advantage with them." Umar asked, "Should I not strike this man's head?" Yunus replied, "Should you kill a man from the companions of Badr? How do you know that perhaps Allah has looked favorably upon the companions of Badr?" Then he said, "Do as you please."  

أحمد:١٤٧٧٤حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ غَزْوَهُمْ فَدُلَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأُخِذَ كِتَابُهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا وَقَالَ يَا حَاطِبُ أَفَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ غِشًّا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ وَقَالَ يُونُسُ غِشًّا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا نِفَاقًا قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ مُظْهِرٌ رَسُولَهُ وَمُتِمٌّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ عَزِيزًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرِيهِمْ وَكَانَتْ وَالِدَتِي مَعَهُمْ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَلَا أَضْرِبُ رَأْسَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَتَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ مَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ

ذِكْرُ مَغْفِرَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا ذُنُوبَ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to attack them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed to the woman who had the Book with her, so he sent to her and took her book from her head and said, "O Hatib, what have you done?" He said, "Yes, I did it not out of deceit for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor hypocrisy, but I knew that Allah would expose His Messenger ﷺ and fulfill His command, except that I was a stranger among them, and my family was with them, so I wanted to make them feel comfortable. Then Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Shouldn't I strike the head of this man?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Would you kill a man from the people of Badr? And how do you know, perhaps Allah has looked upon the people of Badr?" So he said, "Do as you please."  

ابن حبّان:٤٧٩٧أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ* حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ غَزْوَهُمْ فَدَلَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا فَقَالَ «يَا حَاطِبُ أَفَعَلْتَ؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ غِشًّا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا نِفَاقًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُظْهِرُ رَسُولَهُ وَيُتِمُّ أَمْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ غَرِيبًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ فَكَانَتْ أَهْلِي مَعَهُمْ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهَا عِنْدَهُمْ يَدًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَلَا أَضْرِبُ رَأْسَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ» فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ

" عَنْ جَابِرٍ: أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بن أَبِى بَلتَعَة كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ آتٍ لِغَزْوِهِمْ، فَدَلَّ رَسُول الله ﷺ عَلَى الْمَرأَةِ الَّتِى مَعَهَا الكِتَابُ

فَأرْسلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهَا مِنْ رَأسِهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا حَاطبُ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَمَا إِنِّى لَمْ أَفْعَله غِشّا لِرَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَلاَ نِفَاقًا، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الله يُظْهِرُ رَسُولَهُ وَيُتمُّ لَهُ أمْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّى كنتُ غَرِيبًا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهمْ، وَكَانَتَ ولدى (*) مَعَهُمْ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَخِذَهَا عِنْدَهُم، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ رَأسَ هَذَا؟ ! فَقَالَ: أتَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ؟ مَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَل الله اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُم ".
