حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ:
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُسَارَى ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنْتَ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْحَطَبِ، فَأَضْرِمِ الْوَادِي عَلَيْهِمْ نَارًا، ثُمَّ أَلْقِهِمْ فِيهِ، قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: قَطَعَ اللهُ رَحِمَكَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَادَةُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرُءُوسُهُمْ، كَذَّبُوكَ، وَقَاتَلُوكَ، اضْرِبْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَشِيرَتُكَ، وَقَوْمُكَ، اسْتَحْيِهِمْ يَسْتَنْقِذْهُمُ اللهُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ، فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ: الْقَوْلُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ، وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ: الْقَوْلُ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَا قَوْلُكُمْ فِي هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ ؟ إِنَّ مَثَلَهُمْ مَثَلُ إِخْوَةٍ لَهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ، قَالَ نُوحٌ: رَبِّ لا تَذَرْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ، وَقَالَ مُوسَى: رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلا يُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ، وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ: فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ، وَقَالَ عِيسَى: إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ، وَأَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ بِكُمْ عَيْلَةٌ، فَلَا يَنْقَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا بِفِدَاءٍ، أَوْ بِضَرْبَةِ عُنُقٍ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قُلْتُ: إِلَّا سَهْلَ بْنَ بَيْضَاءَ فَلَا يُقْتَلُ، فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، فَسَكَتَ، فَمَا أَتَى عَلَيَّ يَوْمٌ كَانَ أَشَدَّ خَوْفًا عِنْدِي أَنْ يُلْقَى عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ يَوْمِي ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِلَّا سَهْلَ بْنَ بَيْضَاءَ

✧ On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What do you think about these captives?' Abdullah b. Rawahah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you are in a valley with much firewood, so set the valley ablaze upon them, then cast them into it.' Al-Abbas said: 'May Allah sever your kinship.' Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, they are the leaders and chiefs of the polytheists. They denied you and fought you. Strike their necks.' Abu Bakr said: 'O Messenger of Allah, they are your kin and your people. Spare them so that Allah may save them through you from the Fire.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went in to relieve himself. One group said: 'The correct view is what Umar said,' and another group said: 'The correct view is what Abu Bakr said.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and said: 'What do you say about these two men? Their likeness is that of brothers who came before them. Nuh said: "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth any dweller from among the disbelievers. If You leave them, they will mislead Your servants" (71:26–27). Musa said: "Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so they will not believe until they see the painful punishment" (10:88). Ibrahim ﷺ said: "Whoever follows me is of me, and whoever disobeys me — indeed, You are Forgiving and Merciful" (14:36). Isa said: "If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, indeed You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise" (5:118). You are a people in need, so let none of you return except with a ransom or a stroke of the neck.' Abdullah said: 'I said: Except Suhayl b. Bayda', for he should not be killed, for I heard him speaking of Islam.' He fell silent. No day ever came upon me that I feared more that stones would be thrown down upon me from the sky than that day, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Except Suhayl b. Bayda'.'
