حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَسْرَى؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَوْمُكَ وَأَهْلُكَ اسْتَبْقِهِمْ، وَاسْتَأْنِ بِهِمْ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْرَجُوكَ وَكَذَّبُوكَ، قَرِّبْهُمْ، فَاضْرِبْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، انْظُرْ وَادِيًا كَثِيرَ الْحَطَبِ فَأَدْخِلْهُمْ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ أَضْرِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ نَارًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: قَطَعْتَ رَحِمَكَ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ نَاسٌ: يَأْخُذُ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَقَالَ نَاسٌ: يَأْخُذُ بِقَوْلِ عُمَرَ، وَقَالَ نَاسٌ: يَأْخُذُ بِقَوْلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ لَيُلَيِّنُ قُلُوبَ رِجَالٍ فِيهِ، حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَلْيَنَ مِنَ اللَّبِنِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَيَشُدُّ قُلُوبَ رِجَالٍ فِيهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ، وَإِنَّ مَثَلَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَمَثَلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَمَثَلَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَمَثَلِ عِيسَى قَالَ: إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ وَإِنَّ مَثَلَكَ يَا عُمَرُ كَمَثَلِ نُوحٍ قَالَ: رَبِّ لا تَذَرْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا وَإِنَّ مَثَلَكَ يَا عُمَرُ كَمَثَلِ مُوسَى قَالَ: رَبِّ اشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلا يُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ أَنْتُمْ عَالَةٌ، فَلَا يَنْفَلِتَنَّ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِفِدَاءٍ، أَوْ ضَرْبَةِ عُنُقٍ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ بَيْضَاءَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُ الْإِسْلَامَ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُنِي فِي يَوْمٍ أَخْوَفَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَتَّى قَالَ: إِلَّا سُهَيْلَ بْنَ بَيْضَاءَ، قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللهُ يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ وَاللهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ لَوْلا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

✧ When it was the day of Badr, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What do you say about these captives?' He said: Abu Bakr said: 'O Messenger of Allah, they are your people and your family; spare them and give them respite, perhaps Allah will relent upon them.' He said: And 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, they expelled you and denied you; bring them close and strike their necks.' He said: And 'Abdullah b. Rawahah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, look for a valley with much firewood and put them in it, then set fire upon them.' He said: Al-'Abbas said: 'You have severed your kinship.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and did not respond to them with anything. He said: Some people said: 'He will take the view of Abu Bakr,' and some people said: 'He will take the view of 'Umar,' and some people said: 'He will take the view of 'Abdullah b. Rawahah.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to them and said: 'Indeed, Allah softens the hearts of men in it until they become softer than clay, and indeed, Allah hardens the hearts of men in it until they become harder than rocks. And your likeness, O Abu Bakr, is like Ibrahim ﷺ when he said: "Whoever follows me is of me, and whoever disobeys me, You are Forgiving, Merciful." And your likeness, O Abu Bakr, is like 'Isa when he said: "If You punish them, they are Your servants, and if You forgive them, You are the Mighty, the Wise." And your likeness, O 'Umar, is like Nuh when he said: "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from the disbelievers a single dweller." And your likeness, O 'Umar, is like Musa when he said: "My Lord, harden their hearts so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment." You are a burden, so let none of them escape except by ransom or a blow to the neck.' 'Abdullah said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, except Suhayl b. Bayda', for I have heard him mention Islam.' He said: And he fell silent. He said: I have never seen myself on a day more fearful that stones would fall upon me from the sky than on that day, until he said: 'Except Suhayl b. Bayda'.' He said: Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: "It is not for a prophet to have captives until he has made a thorough slaughter in the land. You desire the goods of this world, but Allah desires the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise. Had it not been for a decree that preceded from Allah, a great punishment would have touched you for what you took."
