حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ
أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ غَزْوَهُمْ، فَدُلَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأُخِذَ كِتَابُهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا وَقَالَ: يَا حَاطِبُ أَفَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ غِشًّا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ [ ﷺ ] - وَقَالَ يُونُسُ: غِشًّا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ - وَلَا نِفَاقًا، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ مُظْهِرٌ رَسُولَهُ وَمُتِمٌّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ عَزِيزًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرِيهِمْ، وَكَانَتْ وَالِدَتِي مَعَهُمْ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَلَا أَضْرِبُ رَأْسَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: أَتَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، مَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ.

✧ Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah wrote to the people of Makkah mentioning that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to raid them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was directed to the woman who had the letter, so he sent for her and her letter was taken from her head. He said: 'O Hatib, did you do this?' He said: 'Yes. Indeed, I did not do it out of treachery to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — and Yunus said: treachery, O Messenger of Allah — nor out of hypocrisy. I knew that Allah would make His Messenger victorious and complete his affair, but I was a man of standing among them, and my mother was with them, so I wanted to secure this favor with them.' 'Umar said to him: 'Shall I not strike off this man's head?' He said: 'Would you kill a man from the people of Badr? What do you know? Perhaps Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has looked upon the people of Badr and said: "Do as you wish."'
