58. Expeditions
٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] Imam Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "I do not know what to say about the land of As-Sawad unless it is a probable assumption linked to knowledge. This is because I found the most reliable narration being transmitted by the people of Kufa when they talked about it in As-Sawad, which does not contain a clear statement. I also found conflicting narrations from their statements, some of which claim that As-Sawad is peaceful, while others claim it is tumultuous. And they also say that some parts of As-Sawad are peaceful, while others are tumultuous."
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ مَا أَقُولُ فِي أَرْضِ السَّوَادِ إِلَّا ظَنًّا مَقْرُونًا إِلَى عِلْمٍ وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي وَجَدْتُ أَصَحَّ حَدِيثٍ يَرْوِيهِ الْكُوفِيُّونَ عِنْدَهُمْ فِي السَّوَادِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ بَيَانٌ وَوَجَدْتُ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْ أَحَادِيثِهِمْ تُخَالِفُهُ مِنْهَا أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ السَّوَادُ صُلْحٌ وَيَقُولُونَ السَّوَادُ عَنْوَةٌ وَيَقُولُونَ بَعْضُ السَّوَادِ صُلْحٌ وَبَعْضُهُ عَنْوَةٌ
[Machine] Blackness includes goodness and rebellion. So, whatever is rebellion is for the Muslims, and whatever is goodness is for them to possess their wealth.
السَّوَادُ مِنْهُ صُلْحٌ وَمِنْهُ عَنْوَةٌ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ عَنْوَةٌ فَهُوَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ صُلْحٌ فَلَهُمْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ
[Machine] Land cannot be sold without the mountain, except for the land of Bani Saluba and the land of Al-Hira, for they have a covenant. Al-Hasan ibn Salih said: We used to hear that what is below the mountain, beyond it, is reconciliation.
لَا تُبَاعُ أَرْضٌ دُونَ الْجَبَلِ إِلَّا أَرْضُ بَنِي صَلُوبَا وَأَرْضُ الْحِيرَةِ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ عَهْدًا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَنَّ مَا دُونَ الْجَبَلِ مِمَّا وَرَاءَهُ صُلْحٌ
[Machine] There is no covenant for the people of as-Sawad except for the land of al-Hira. And was not Banuqya said to Shurayk, "The people of Banuqya guided Jareer ibn Abdullah to a meeting." And the people of Alisa sent down Abu Ubaydah and they guided him to something. Yahya said, "I think he means a weakness for the enemy."
لَيْسَ لِأَهْلِ السَّوَادِ عَهْدٌ إِلَّا أَرْضَ الْحِيرَةِ وَأَلِيسَ وَبَانِقْيَا قَالَ شَرِيكٌ إِنَّ أَهْلَ بَانِقْيَا كَانُوا دَلُّوا جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَى مَخَاضَةٍ وَأَهْلُ أَلِيسَ كَانُوا أَنْزَلُوا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ وَدَلُّوهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى أَظُنُّهُ يَعْنِي عَوْرَةً لِلْعَدُوِّ
[Machine] "And he wrote to Abu Bakr about that, and he approved it. Yahya said, I said to Al-Hasan bin Salih, 'The people of Ayn al-Tamr are like the people of Hira. It is only something upon them, and there is nothing on their land.' He said, 'Yes.'"
وَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَأَجَازَهُ قَالَ يَحْيَى قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ فَأَهْلُ عَيْنِ التَّمْرِ مِثْلُ أَهْلِ الْحِيرَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَرْضِهِمْ شَيْءٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ
[Machine] We arrived at the people of Hira, so we made peace with them for a thousand dirhams and a camel. He said, "I asked my father, what did you do with that camel?" He replied, "We had a companion who did not have a camel like this in his book, a thousand dirhams, and another said seventy thousand dirhams."
انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِ الْحِيرَةِ فَصَالَحْنَاهُمْ عَلَى أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَرَحْلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا صَنَعْتُمْ بِذَلِكَ الرَّحْلِ؟ قَالَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ رَحْلٌ كَذَا فِي كِتَابِي أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ
[Machine] To buy from the land of confusion because they are peaceful.
أَنْ يَشْتَرُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِيرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ صُلْحٌ
[Machine] The people of confusion only agreed on what they did not divide among themselves, and there is nothing significant on the leaders' heads.
أَهْلُ الْحِيرَةِ إِنَّمَا صُولِحُوا عَلَى مَا لَمْ يَقْتَسِمُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الرِّجَالِ شَيْءٌ
عَقْدٌ
[Machine] There is no fixed agreement for the people of the black towards any specific ruling.
لَيْسَ لِأَهْلِ السَّوَادِ عَهْدٌ إِنَّمَا نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمٍ
[Machine] They did not have any covenant, so when they were satisfied with the tribute, they made a covenant with them.
لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ عَهْدٌ فَلَمَّا رُضِيَ مِنْهُمْ بِالْخَرَاجِ صَارَ لَهُمُ الْعَهْدُ
[Machine] Umar ibn Al-Khattab came to them and reconciled with them regarding the tax payment.
وَرَدَّ إِلَيْهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَرْضَهُمْ وَصَالَحَهُمْ عَلَى الْخَرَاجِ
[Machine] Omar to Saad, when Iraq was opened. After that, your letter reached me, reminding me that people asked for you to distribute their spoils, but Allah did not grant them anything. So when my letter reaches you, see what people bring to you from the army, whether it is livestock or wealth, and distribute it among those Muslims who are present. Leave the lands and rivers to their workers, as that will be given to the Muslims. If you distribute it among those present, there will be nothing left for those who come after them.
عُمَرُ إِلَى سَعْدٍ ؓ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الْعِرَاقَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي كِتَابُكَ تَذْكُرُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَأَلُوكَ أَنْ تَقْسِمَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَغَانِمَهُمْ وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَانْظُرْ مَا أَجْلَبَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى الْعَسْكَرِ مِنْ كُرَاعٍ أَوْ مَالٍ فَاقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَ مَنْ حَضَرَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاتْرُكِ الْأَرَضِينَ وَالْأَنْهَارَ لِعُمَّالِهَا فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فِي أَعْطِيَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قَسَمْتَهَا بَيْنَ مَنْ حَضَرَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِمَنْ بَقِيَ بَعْدَهُمْ شَيْءٌ
[Machine] They counted and found the Muslim man being attacked by three of the farmers, meaning the disabled. So, they consulted the companions of the Prophet ﷺ about it. Ali said, "Leave them, they can serve as resources for the Muslims." So, Uthman bin Hunayf was sent and he placed a tax of 84, 24, and 12 on them.
أَنْ يُحْصَوْا فَوَجَدُوا الرَّجُلَ الْمُسْلِمَ يُصِيبُهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْفَلَّاحِينَ يَعْنِي الْعُلُوجَ فَشَاوَرَ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ دَعْهُمْ يَكُونُونَ مَادَّةً لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَبَعَثَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ فَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَمَانِيَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَأَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ
[Machine] And the tribute (tax) was 7,000,000. But when the famine occurred, the people burned the government building and each group took what was behind them.
وَكَانَ خَرَاجُ مَنْ أَصْفَى سَبْعَةَ آلَافِ أَلْفٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجَمَاجِمُ أَحْرَقَ النَّاسُ الدِّيوَانَ وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ مَا يَلِيهِمْ
[Machine] Hudhayfah purified the land of Kisra and the land of the family of Kisra, and whoever was of Kisra, he purified his land and the land of those who were killed and those who fled, and also the lands of foreigners and the stinking water.
أَصْفَى حُذَيْفَةُ أَرْضَ كِسْرَى وَأَرْضَ آلِ كِسْرَى وَمَنْ كَانَ كِسْرَى أَصْفَى أَرْضَهُ وَأَرْضَ مَنْ قُتِلَ وَمَنْ هَرَبَ وَالْآجَامَ وَمَغِيضَ الْمَاءِ
[Machine] One of you will swear that he will go down into the village and say, "My village, bury me" or he will say, "My village, abandon me" or he will say, "By God, I will inform them." Abu Sa'id narrated to us, Abu al-Abbas informed us, Al-Rabi' said, Al-Shafi'i said, and they say, "Indeed, Jarir ibn Abdullah al-Bajali."
أَنْ أَقْسِمَ السَّوَادَ يَنْزِلُ أَحَدُكُمُ الْقَرْيَةَ فَيَقُولُ قَرْيَتِي لَتَكُفُّنِّي أَوْ قَالَ لَتَدَعُنِّي أَوْ لَأَقْسِمَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيَّ
[Machine] Al-Shafi'i, in his narration, praised me for my right, saying that it was ninety-eight. And in his narration, he said, "Fulana witnessed Abu al-Qadasiyyah, and his arrow remained steady. I will not embrace Islam until you give me this and give me that." So he gave it to her, and Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated it from Ismail, mentioning the story of Jarir. Hushaym also narrated it from Ismail, mentioning it and the story of the woman, and he mentioned that she was the mother of Kurz. And he mentioned that she said, "I will not embrace Islam until you carry me on a submissive camel, with red silk on it, and my hands are filled with gold." So he did that, and the dinars were about eighty.
الشَّافِعِيُّ فَكَانَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَعَاضَنِي مِنْ حَقِّي فِيهِ نَيِّفًا وَثَمَانِينَ وَكَانَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَتْ فُلَانَةُ شَهِدَ أَبِي الْقَادِسِيَّةَ وَثَبَتَ سَهْمُهُ وَلَا أُسْلِمُهُ حَتَّى تُعْطِيَنِي كَذَا وَتُعْطِيَنِي كَذَا فَأَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ جَرِيرٍ وَرَوَاهُ هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَذَكَرَهَا وَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا أُمُّ كُرْزٍ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُسْلِمُ حَتَّى تَحْمِلَنِي عَلَى نَاقَةٍ ذَلُولٍ وَعَلَيْهَا قَطِيفَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَتَمْلَأُ كَفِّي ذَهَبًا فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَتِ الدَّنَانِيرُ نَحْوًا مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا
[Machine] "O Jarir, by Allah, if it were not for the fact that I am a responsible distributor, I would have given you what was allocated for you. But I see that I should return it to the Muslims, so I will return it. He had allocated a quarter of the revenues to Bjilah, so they collected the tax for three years and then he returned it and gave them eighty dinars."
عُمَرُ ؓ لِجَرِيرٍ يَا جَرِيرُ وَاللهِ لَوْمَا أَنِّي قَاسِمٌ مَسئُولٌ لَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا قُسِمَ لَكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرَدَّهُ وَكَانَ جَعَلَ رُبْعَ السَّوَادِ لِبَجِيلَةَ فَأَخَذُوا الْخَرَاجَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ فَرَدَّهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ ثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا
[Machine] We were a quarter of the people on the day of Al-Qadisiyah, so Umar gave us a quarter of the booty, and we took it for three years. Then Jarir went to Umar after that and said, "By Allah, if it were not for the fact that I am responsible and accountable, you would have received what was divided to you. So I suggest that you return it to the Muslims." Umar agreed and reimbursed him with eighty dinars.
كُنَّا رُبْعَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَأَعْطَانَا عُمَرُ ؓ رُبْعَ السَّوَادِ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ وَفَدَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي قَاسِمٌ مَسْئُولٌ لَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا قُسِمَ لَكُمْ فَأَرَى أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَفَعَلَ وَأَجَازَهُ بِثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا
[Machine] Umar bin Khattab and his people were living in poverty, so he took him (Jariyah) for two or three years. Then Jariyah visited Umar with Ammar bin Yasir, and Umar said to him, "O Jariyah, if it weren't for me being held responsible, you would still be in the same situation. But I think you should return what you owe to the Muslims." Umar gave him eighty dinars.
عُمَرُ ؓ جَرِيرًا وَقَوْمَهُ رُبْعَ السَّوَادِ فَأَخَذَهُ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ جَرِيرًا وَفَدَ إِلَى عُمَرَ مَعَ عَمَّارٍ ؓ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ؓ يَا جَرِيرُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي قَاسِمٌ مَسْئُولٌ لَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ أَرَى أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْطَاهُ عُمَرُ ؓ ثَمَانِينَ دِينَارًا
[Machine] "To come to Iraq, and for you to have a quarter or a third after the fifth of every land and property. This is disconnected and what came before it is connected, and it is not in the narrated reports that we heard and did not mention in the blackness of Iraq, more accurate than it, as Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Abu Sa'id informed us, Abu Al-Abbas narrated from Ar-Rabi', who said: Ash-Shafi'i said: In this hadith, there is evidence that when Jarir gave Bajali compensation for his arrow and when a woman gave compensation for her father’s arrow, it was understood that those who were wronged would give up their rights, so it became a provision for the Muslims, and this is permissible for the leader if a land is conquered forcefully, and he counts those who conquered it and they are pleased to give up their rights from it so that the leader makes it a provision, and their rights from it are four fifths and the people of the fifth are given their rights, except for those who renounced their rights, so it belongs to him. The ruling on the land is like the ruling on money, and the Prophet, ﷺ , took the Hawazin captive and divided four fifths between those who actively participated, then the delegations of the Hawazin came and they became Muslims and asked him to return what he had taken from them, so he gave them the choice between wealth and prisoners, and they chose their wealth, so the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , left their right and the right of his family. Al-Muhajirun heard about it, so they left their rights, and the Ansar heard about it, so they left their rights, and there remained a group of the remaining migrants and the Fathiyin. He commanded that each group be known individually, and one person from each group be chosen. Then he said: Bring me the best of those who remain. So whoever disliked, it was upon him that he was given a certain number of camels until a specific time, which he mentioned. So they brought the best of themselves, except Al-Aqra bin Habis and 'Uyaynah bin Badr, for they refused to slander the Hawazin, so the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not force them to do so until they were left, after 'Uyaynah deceived him regarding his right, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , surrendered to them their right, and he surrendered the right of whoever was pleased not to claim his right. Ash-Shafi'i said: This is the most important matter for 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab, in our view in Al-Sawad and its conquests, if it was conquered forcefully. And what Ash-Shafi'i mentioned regarding the matter of the Hawazin has already been mentioned in the hadith of Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, and in the narration of 'Amr ibn Shu'aib from his father from his grandfather."
أَنْ تَأْتِيَ الْعِرَاقَ وَلَكَ الرُّبُعُ أَوِ الثُّلُثُ بَعْدَ الْخُمُسِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْضٍ وَشَيْءٍ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَالَّذِي قَبْلَهُ مَوْصُولٌ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْآثَارِ الَّتِي رُوِّينَاهَا وَلَمْ نَرُدَّهَا فِي سَوَادِ الْعِرَاقِ أَصَحُّ مِنْهُ كَمَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ دِلَالَةٌ إِذْ أَعْطَى جَرِيرًا الْبَجَلِيَّ عِوَضًا مِنْ سَهْمِهِ وَالْمَرْأَةَ عِوَضًا مِنْ سَهْمِ أَبِيهَا أَنَّهُ اسْتَطَابَ أَنْفُسَ الَّذِينَ أَوْجَفُوا عَلَيْهِ فَتَرَكُوا حُقُوقَهُمْ مِنْهُ فَجَعَلَهُ وَقْفًا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَهَذَا حَلَالٌ لِلْإِمَامِ لَوِ افْتُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ أَرْضٌ عَنْوَةً فَأَحْصَى مَنِ افْتَتَحَهَا وَطَابُوا أَنْفُسًا عَنْ حُقُوقِهِمْ مِنْهَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا الْإِمَامُ وَقْفًا وَحُقُوقُهُمْ مِنْهَا الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَخْمَاسِ وَيُوَفَّى أَهْلُ الْخُمُسِ حَقَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَدَعَ الْبَالِغُونَ مِنْهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَالْحُكْمُ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَالْحُكْمِ فِي الْمَالِ وَقَدْ سَبَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَوَازِنَ وَقَسَمَ أَرْبَعَةَ الْأَخْمَاسِ بَيْنَ الْمُوجِفِينَ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْهُ وُفُودُ هَوَازِنَ مُسْلِمِينَ فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَمُنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ فَخَيَّرَهُمْ بَيْنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالسَّبْيِ فَقَالُوا خَيَّرْتَنَا بَيْنَ أَحْسَابِنَا وَأَمْوَالِنَا فَنَخْتَارُ أَحْسَابَنَا فَتَرَكَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَقَّهُ وَحَقَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ فَتَرَكُوا لَهُ حُقُوقَهُمْ وَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ الْأَنْصَارُ فَتَرَكُوا لَهُ حُقُوقَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْآخِرِينَ وَالْفَتْحِيِّينَ فَأَمَرَ فَعَرَفَ عَلَى كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ وَاحِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِطِيبِ أَنْفُسِ مَنْ بَقِيَ فَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَلَهُ عَلَيَّ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَى وَقْتٍ ذَكَرَهُ فَجَاءُوا بِطِيبِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ إِلَّا الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ بَدْرٍ فَإِنَّهُمَا أَبَيَا لِيُعَيِّرَا هَوَازِنَ فَلَمْ يُكْرِهْهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى كَانَا هُمَا تَرَكَا بَعْدَ أَنْ خَدَعَ عُيَيْنَةُ عَنْ حَقِّهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَقَّ مَنْ طَابَ نَفْسُهُ عَنْ حَقِّهِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَهَذَا أَوْلَى الْأُمُورِ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ عِنْدَنَا فِي السَّوَادِ وَفُتُوحِهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَنْوَةً وَهَذَا الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ مِنْ أَمْرِ هَوَازِنَ قَدْ مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "I was presented with the option as if to choose between the horns of a dilemma, and indeed, you will soon open it." A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, give me the daughter of Baki'ah." He said, "She is yours, so they gave her to him." Then her father came and said, "Do you want to sell her?" He replied, "Yes." The father asked, "For how much?" The man said, "Name any price you wish." The father said, "One thousand dirhams." The man replied, "I have already taken her." They said to him, "If you had said thirty thousand, he would have given her to you." The man said, "Is there a number greater than a thousand?" Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated this incident from Sufyan in the same way, and others also reported it from him, from 'Ali ibn Zaid bin Jud'an. The well-known hadith about this incident is narrated by Khuwaym bin 'Aws, who is the one chosen by the Messenger of Allah to give him this woman. This incident has also been narrated in the book "Evidence of Prophethood" at the end of the Battle of Tabuk.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُثِّلَتْ لِيَ الْحِيرَةُ كَأَنْيَابِ الْكِلَابِ وَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَهَا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَبْ لِيَ ابْنَةَ بَقِيلَةَ قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ فَأَعْطَوْهُ إِيَّاهَا فَجَاءَ أَبُوهَا فَقَالَ أَتَبِيعُهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكَمْ؟ احْكُمْ مَا شِئْتَ قَالَ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهَا قَالُوا لَهُ لَوْ قُلْتَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا لَأَخَذَهَا قَالَ وَهَلْ عَدَدٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَلْفٍ؟ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ هَكَذَا وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ وَالْمَشْهُورُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ خُرَيْمِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا فِي كِتَابِ دَلَائِلِ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي آخِرِ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ
