عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ:
كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لَا يَتْرُكُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَجَمِ يَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَكَتَبَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ إِلَى عُمَرَ: أَنَّ عِنْدِي غُلَامًا نَجَّارًا نَقَّاشَا حَدَّادًا، فِيهِ مَنَافِعُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أُرْسِلَ بِهِ فَعَلْتُ. فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، وَكَانَ قَدْ جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ دِرْهَمَيْنِ، وَكَانَ يُدْعَى أَبَا لُؤْلُؤَةَ، وَكَانَ مَجُوسِيًّا فِي أَصْلِهِ، فَلَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَتَى عُمَرَ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ كَثْرَةَ خَرَاجِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: " مَا تُحْسِنُ مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ ؟ قَالَ: نَجَّارٌ نَقَّاشٌ حَدَّادٌ " فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " مَا خَرَاجُكَ بِكَبِيرٍ فِي كُنْهِ مَا تُحْسِنُ مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ " قَالَ: فَمَضَى وَهُوَ يَتَذَمَّزُ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِعُمَرَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ أُحَدَّثْ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ: لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ رَحًى تَطْحَنُ بِالرِّيحِ فَعَلْتُ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ: لَأَصْنَعَنَّ رَحًى يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهَا النَّاسُ قَالَ: وَمَضَى أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " أَمَّا الْعَبْدُ فَقَدْ أَوْعَدَنِي آنِفًا " فَلَمَّا أَزْمَعَ بِالَّذِي أَزْمَعَ بِهِ، أَخَذَ خِنْجَرًا فَاشْتَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ لِعُمَرَ فِي زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَا الْمَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَخْرُجُ بِالسَّحَرِ فَيُوقِظُ النَّاسَ بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ فَثَارَ إِلَيْهِ فَطَعَنَهُ ثَلَاثَ طَعَنَاتٍ: إِحْدَاهُنَّ تَحْتَ سُرَّتِهِ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي قَتَلَتْهُ، وَطَعَنَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةٌ، وَبَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةٌ، ثُمَّ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِخِنْجَرِهِ فَمَاتَ
Translation
✧ Umar b. al-Khattab did not allow any non-Arab to enter Madinah. So al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah wrote to Umar: 'I have a servant who is a carpenter, engraver, and blacksmith, in whom there is benefit for the people of Madinah. If you see fit to permit me to send him, I will do so.' He allowed him, and he had imposed on him two dirhams every day. He was called Abu Lu'lu'ah, and he was originally a Magian. He remained as long as Allah willed. Then he came to Umar complaining of the heaviness of his tax. Umar said to him: 'What crafts are you skilled in?' He said: 'Carpenter, engraver, blacksmith.' Umar said: 'Your tax is not much considering what crafts you are skilled in.' He went away resentful. Then he passed by Umar while he was sitting and said: 'Was I not told that you say: If I wished to make a mill that grinds by wind, I would do it?' Abu Lu'lu'ah said: 'I will make a mill that people will talk about.' He went on. Umar said: 'The slave has just threatened me.' When he resolved on what he resolved, he took a dagger and concealed it on himself, then sat in wait for Umar in a corner of the mosque. Umar used to go out at dawn and wake people for prayer. He passed by him, and he sprang at him and stabbed him three times: one below his navel, which was the one that killed him, and he stabbed twelve men of the people of the mosque, of whom six died and six survived. Then he slit his own throat with his dagger and died.
