حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِحَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِغَيْرِ إِيمَانٍ مِنْ قَلْبِي، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ أَهْلٌ وَخَدَمٌ يَمْنَعُونَ لَهُ أَهْلَهُ، فَكَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ اللهُ لِي بِذَلِكَ أَهْلِي، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ائْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَوَكُنْتَ قَاتِلَهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي فِيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Did you write this letter?" He said: "Yes. By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, it was not that I lacked faith in my heart, but there was no one among Quraysh who did not have family and servants to protect his family, so I wrote a letter hoping that Allah would protect my family by it." Umar said: "Give me permission regarding him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Would you have killed him?" He said: "Yes, if you permit me regarding him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "And what would make you know? Perhaps Allah has looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish.'"
