[Machine] When people began performing the Hajj in the ninth year, Urwah ibn Mas'ud came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a Muslim, seeking permission to return to his people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I fear that they may kill you." Urwah said, "If they find me asleep, they will not wake me up." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted him permission and he returned to his people as a Muslim. He presented the evening meal and the people of Thaqif came to greet him. He invited them to Islam but they accused him, angered him, and told him things that he did not expect. Then they left him until they performed the night prayer, and as dawn broke, he stood on a platform in his house, called the Adhan, and made the Tashahhud. A man from Thaqif threw an arrow at him and killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The case of Urwah is like the case of the people of Yasin. He invited his people to Allah and they killed him."  

لَمَّا أَنْشَأَ النَّاسُ الْحَجَّ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْلِمًا فاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلوكَ» فَقَالَ لَو وَجَدُوني نَائِمًا مَا أَيْقَظُونِي فَأَذِنَ لَه رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ مُسْلِمًا فَقَدَّمَ عَشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ يُحَيِّونَهُ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاتَّهَمُوهُ وَأَغْضَبُوهُ وَأَسْمَعُوهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْتَسِبُ ثُمّ خَرَجُوا مِن عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسَّحَّرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عَلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِن ثَقِيفٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ عُرْوَةَ مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ يَاسِينَ دَعَا قَوْمَهُ إِلَى اللهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ»  

[Machine] So when Abu Bakr left and the people had completed their Hajj, Urwah ibn Mas'ud al-Thaqafi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam. Then he sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return to his people, and he said, "I fear that they may kill you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If they find me sleeping, they will not wake me up." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission, and he returned to Ta'if. He presented them with a meal and the people of Thaqif came to greet him. He invited them to Islam and advised them, but they rejected him, disobeyed him, and treated him with harm that they had never feared from him. So they left him until they had their pre-dawn meal and the morning came. He stood on a platform in his house and called the Adhan, and when he finished the witness for the prayer, a man from Quraysh threw an arrow at him, and he killed him.  

فَلَمَّا صَدَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وأَقَامَ النَّاسُ حَجَّهُمْ قَدِمَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ «إنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلوكَ» فَقَالَ لَو وَجَدُوني نَائِمًا مَا أَيْقَظُونِي فَأَذِنَ لَه رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ فَقَدَّمَ عَشَاءً فَجَاءَتْهُ ثَقِيفٌ يُحَيِّونَهُ فَدَعَاهُم إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَنَصَحَ لَهُم فاتَّهَمُوهُ وعَصَوْهُ وأَسْمَعُوهُ مِن الْأَذَى مَا لَم يَكُنْ يخشاهُمْ عَلَيْه فَخَرَجُوا مِن عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسَّحَّرُوا وَطَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ عَلَى غُرْفَةٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَتَشَهَّدَ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِن قُرَيْشٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ
