قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ
قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذُو الْجَوْشَنِ، وَأَهْدَى لَهُ فَرَسًا، وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُشْرِكٌ، فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ شِئْتَ بِعْتَنِيهِ - أَوْ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَبِيعَنِيهِ - بِالْمُتَخَيَّرَةِ مِنْ دُرُوعِ بَدْرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ﷺ: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ؟، فَقَالَ: لَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ كَذَّبُوكَ وَأَخْرَجُوكَ وَقَاتَلُوكَ، فَأَنْظُرُ مَا تَصْنَعُ، فَإِنْ ظَهَرْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ، آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَاتَّبَعْتُكَ، وَإِنْ ظَهَرُوا عَلَيْكَ، لَمْ أَتَّبِعْكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا ذَا الْجَوْشَنِ لَعَلَّكَ إِنْ بَقِيتَ

✧ Dhū al-Jawshan came to the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a horse while he was still a polytheist. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused to accept it, then said: "If you wish, sell it to me—or would you like to sell it to me—for the choice armor from Badr?" Then he said to him ﷺ: "Would you like to be the first to enter into this matter?" He replied: "No." The Prophet ﷺ asked him: "What prevents you from that?" He said: "I saw your people denying you, expelling you, and fighting you, so I am waiting to see what you do. If you prevail over them, I will believe in you and follow you. If they prevail over you, I will not follow you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "O Dhū al-Jawshan, perhaps if you remain alive."
