53. Fighting Rebellion
٥٣۔ كِتَابُ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الْبَغْيِ
[Machine] When Allah appointed Abu Bakr as his caliph, some of the Arabs apostatized from Islam. The story was mentioned in the context of the mission and battle of Khalid bin Al-Walid. It is said that Tulayha was extremely skilled in battle, and that day he killed 'Ukkasha bin Mihjan and Ibn Aqram. When the truth prevailed, Tulayha dismounted and embraced Islam. He then headed towards 'Umrah with a sense of security among the people, passing by Abu Bakr in Medina, and then he went to Makkah to perform his 'Umrah. It is also reported that 'Ata bin Abi Rabah mentioned that the retaliation was pardoned for him.
لَمَّا اسْتَخْلَفَ اللهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَارْتَدَّ مَنِ ارْتَدَّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ فِي بَعْثِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَقِتَالِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ طُلَيْحَةُ شَدِيدَ الْبَأْسِ فِي الْقِتَالِ فَقَتَلَ طُلَيْحَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنَ مِحْصَنٍ وَابْنَ أَقْرَمَ فَلَمَّا غَلَبَ الْحَقُّ طُلَيْحَةَ تَرَجَّلَ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ وَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَرَكِبَ يَسِيرُ فِي النَّاسِ آمِنًّا حَتَّى مَرَّ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ نَفَذَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَضَى عُمْرَتَهُ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ أَسْقَطَ عَنْهُ الْقِصَاصَ
