[Machine] "When people came for Hajj in the year nine, Uruwah ibn Mas'ood al-Thaqafi, the uncle of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sought permission to return to his people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I fear that they will kill you.' Uruwah said: 'If they find me sleeping, they can wake me up.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission, and he returned to his people as a Muslim. He stayed there until after dinner, then the people of Thaqif came to him, so he invited them to Islam. They accused him falsely, disobeyed him, and said things about him that he did not deserve. Then they left him until it was late at night, when dawn was about to break. Uruwah stood up in his house, called for prayer, and started to recite the Shahada. A man from Thaqif shot an arrow at him and killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Uruwah is like the companion of Yasin (i.e., Prophet Nuh), who called his people to Allah the Almighty and they killed him.'"  

الحاكم:٦٥٧٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو عُلَاثَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ثَنَا أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَتَى النَّاسُ الْحَجَّ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَمُّ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوكَ» قَالَ لَوْ وَجَدُونِي نَائِمًا أَيْقَظُونِي فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ مُسْلِمًا فَقَدِمَ عِشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاتَّهَمُوهُ وَعَصَوْهُ وَأَسْمَعُوهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْتَسِبْ ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَسْحَرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عُرْوَةُ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ عُرْوَةَ مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ يَاسِينَ دَعَا قَوْمَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَتَلُوهُ»
