حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، قَالَ:

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْمِقْدَادَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ إِلَى رَوْضَةِ خَاخٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْنَا تَتَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا، فَأَقْبَلْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ، فَقُلْنَا: لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُفَتِّشَنَّ الثِّيَابَ، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَتْ مِنْ عِقَاصِ شَعَرِهَا كِتَابًا، فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَا هَذَا يَا حَاطِبُ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا كَتَبْتُهُ ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي، وَاعْتَذَرَ بِشَيْءٍ - مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِهَا غَرِيبًا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا - فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ، قَالَ: وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ لَعَلَّ اللهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent me, al-Miqdad, and al-Zubayr to the meadow of Khakh, and he said: “There is a woman there who has a letter with her.” He said: We went out, our horses racing with us, and we came upon the woman. We said: “You will bring out the letter or we will search your clothes.” He said: She brought out a letter from the plaits of her hair, and in it was a message from Hatib b. Abi Balta‘ah to the people of Makkah, informing them of some of the affairs of the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said: “What is this, O Hatib?” He said: “O Messenger of God, I did not write it as an apostasy from my religion,” and he made an excuse by something—its meaning was that he was a stranger there or something like this. ‘Umar said: “O Messenger of God, let me strike the neck of this hypocrite.” He said: “And what will make you know, O ‘Umar? Perhaps God has looked upon the people of Badr and said: ‘Do whatever you wish, for I have forgiven you.’”
