58. Expeditions
٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out towards Badr. When he reached the area of Wabarah, he was intercepted by a man known for his bravery and assistance. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were delighted to see him. When the man caught up with him, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to follow you and to be with you in battle." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Do you believe in Allah and His Messenger?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then go back, for I will not seek assistance from a polytheist." The man left. Later, when the man caught up with him near a tree, he said the same thing. The Prophet ﷺ responded in the same way, telling him to go back since he did not believe in Allah and His Messenger. The man returned. Finally, when the man caught up with him in the open desert, he said the same thing. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you believe in Allah and His Messenger?" He answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Then go ahead."
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ بَدْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِحَرَّةِ الْوَبَرَةِ أَدْرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ قَدْ كَانَ يُذْكَرُ مِنْهُ جُرْأَةً وَنَجْدَةً فَفَرِحَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ جِئْتُ لِأَتِّبِعَكَ وَأُصِيبَ مَعَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَارْجِعْ؛ فَلَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِمُشْرِكٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ أَدْرَكَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ قَالَ فَارْجِعْ؛ فَلَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِمُشْرِكٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلِقْ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until he reached Thaniyat al-Wada'. There, he saw a group of people and asked, "Who are these?" They replied, "They are the sons of Qaynuqa'a, and they are the descendants of Abdullah bin Salam." The Prophet asked, "Have they embraced Islam?" They replied, "No, but they are steadfast on their religion." The Prophet said, "Tell them to go back, for we do not seek help from the polytheists." And this chain of narration is authentic.
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا خَلَفَ ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ إِذَا كَتِيبَةٌ قَالَ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالُوا بَنُو قَيْنُقَاعَ وَهُمْ رَهْطُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ وَأَسْلَمُوا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ بَلْ هُمْ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ قَالَ قُلْ لَهُمْ فَلْيَرْجِعُوا؛ فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ أَصَحُّ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out on one of his expeditions, so I approached him with another man before I embraced Islam. We said, "We feel ashamed that our people witness such a scene, so we will not witness it." He asked, "Have you both embraced Islam?" We answered, "No." He said, "Verily, we do not seek assistance from polytheists against other polytheists." So we embraced Islam and witnessed alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I killed a man and the man struck me. Then, I married his daughter. She used to say, "I have never seen a man more generous than him." I said, "I have never seen a man more hasty to send his father to the Hellfire. His grandfather is Hubayb bin Yasaf, or it is said Asaf, who had the companionship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ نُسْلِمَ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّا نَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَشْهَدَ قَوْمُنَا مَشْهَدًا فَلَا نَشْهَدُهُ قَالَ أَسْلَمْتُمَا؟ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَسْلَمْنَا وَشَهِدْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَتَلْتُ رَجُلًا وَضَرَبَنِي الرَّجُلُ ضَرْبَةً فَتَزَوَّجْتُ ابْنَتَهُ فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ لَا عَدِمْتُ رَجُلًا وَشَّحَكَ هَذَا الْوِشَاحَ فَقُلْتُ لَا عَدِمْتِ رَجُلًا أَعْجَلَ أَبَاكِ إِلَى النَّارِ جَدُّهُ خُبَيْبُ بْنُ يَسَافٍ وَيُقَالُ إِسَافٌ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ
[Machine] Saad ibn Malik waged war against a group of Jews and they surrendered to him.
