tabarani:14503Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Khālid al-Ḥarrānī from my father > Ibn Lahīʿah > Abū al-Aswad > ʿUrwah

[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."  

الطبراني:١٤٥٠٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثَنَا أَبِي ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ

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»

hakim:6579Abū Jaʿfar al-Baghdādī > Abū ʿUlāthah from my father > Ibn Lahīʿah > Abū al-Aswad > ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr

[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.'"
