64. Maghāzī (Military Expeditions) Led by the Prophet ﷺ
٦٤۔ كتاب المغازى
Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us to Yemen along with Khalid bin Al-Walid. Later on he sent ʿAli bin Abi Talib in his place. The Prophet ﷺ said to ʿAli, "Give Khalid's companions the choice of either staying with you (in Yemen) or returning to Medina." I was one of those who stayed with him (i.e. ʿAli) and got several Awaq (of gold from the war booty.
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ عَلِيًّا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ مُرْ أَصْحَابَ خَالِدٍ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُعَقِّبَ مَعَكَ فَلْيُعَقِّبْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُقْبِلْ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ عَقَّبَ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَغَنِمْتُ أَوَاقٍ ذَوَاتِ عَدَدٍ
The Prophet ﷺ sent ʿAli to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated ʿAli, and ʿAli had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see this (i.e. ʿAli)?" When we reached the Prophet ﷺ I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you hate ʿAli?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلِيًّا إِلَى خَالِدٍ لِيَقْبِضَ الْخُمُسَ وَكُنْتُ أُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا وَقَدِ اغْتَسَلَ فَقُلْتُ لِخَالِدٍ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى هَذَا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَتُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لاَ تُبْغِضْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي الْخُمُسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
ʿAli bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin HʿAbis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news reached the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Be afraid of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I chop his neck off?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ بَعَثَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فِي أَدِيمٍ مَقْرُوظٍ لَمْ تُحَصَّلْ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا قَالَ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ وَأَقْرَعَ بْنِ حَابِسٍ وَزَيْدِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرَّابِعُ إِمَّا عَلْقَمَةُ وَإِمَّا عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَأْتِينِي خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ نَاشِزُ الْجَبْهَةِ كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ مُشَمَّرُ الإِزَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ أَوَلَسْتُ أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ اللَّهَ قَالَ ثُمَّ وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ لاَ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ وَكَمْ مِنْ مُصَلٍّ يَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِي قَلْبِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَمْ أُومَرْ أَنْ أَنْقُبَ قُلُوبَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ أَشُقَّ بُطُونَهُمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَهْوَ مُقَفٍّ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ رَطْبًا لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ ثَمُودَ
Jabir said, "The Prophet ﷺ ordered ʿAli to keep the state of Ihram." Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib returned (from Yemen) when he was a governor (of Yemen). The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'With what intention have you assumed the state of Ihram?' ʿAli said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention as that of the Prophet." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), 'Offer a Hadi and keep the state of Ihram in which you are now.' ʿAli slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."
جَابِرٌ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلِيًّا أَنْ يُقِيمَ عَلَى إِحْرَامِهِ زَادَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقَدِمَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ بِسِعَايَتِهِ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ قَالَ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَهْدِ وَامْكُثْ حَرَامًا كَمَا أَنْتَ قَالَ وَأَهْدَى لَهُ عَلِيٌّ هَدْيًا
The Prophet ﷺ assumed the state of Ihram for Umra and Hajj, and we to assumed it for Hajj with him. When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet ﷺ had a Hadi with him. ʿAli bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "With what intention have you assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us?" ʿAli said, "I assumed the lhram with the same intention as that of the Prophet ﷺ ." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Keep on the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجَّةٍ فَقَالَ أَهَلَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالْحَجِّ وَأَهْلَلْنَا بِهِ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ هَدْىٌ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا عُمْرَةً وَكَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَدْىٌ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ حَاجًّا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَ أَهْلَلْتَ فَإِنَّ مَعَنَا أَهْلَكَ قَالَ أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَمْسِكْ فَإِنَّ مَعَنَا هَدْيًا
