حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً إِنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ، فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ، فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا، فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ، قُلْنَا: أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا مَعِي مِنْ كِتَابٍ، قُلْنَا: لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ، أَوْ لَنُلْقِيَنَّ الثِّيَابَ، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَتِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا، فَأَخَذْنَا الْكِتَابَ، فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ: مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَكَّةَ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا حَاطِبُ، مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهَا، وَكَانَ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَهُمْ قَرَابَاتٌ يَحْمُونَ أَهْلِيهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ فِيهِمْ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ بِهَا قَرَابَتِي، وَمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ كُفْرًا، وَلَا ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي، وَلَا رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَكُمْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ، فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, along with al-Zubayr and al-Miqdad, saying: Go until you reach the garden of Khakh, for there is a woman with a letter. Take it from her. So we set off, our horses racing, until we reached the garden. There was the woman. We said: Bring out the letter. She said: I have no letter. We said: Either bring out the letter or we will strip off your clothes. So she brought out the letter from her braids. We took the letter and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. In it was: From Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah to some people among the polytheists in Makkah, informing them of some of the affairs of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Hatib, what is this? He said: Do not be hasty with me. I was a man attached to Quraysh by alliance, not one of their own. Those with you among the emigrants had relatives who protected their families in Makkah. Since I lacked that kinship among them, I wanted to gain favor with them so they would protect my relatives. I did not do this out of disbelief, nor apostasy from my religion, nor acceptance of disbelief after Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He has told you the truth. Umar said: Let me strike the neck of this hypocrite. He said: He was present at Badr. And what do you know? Perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr and said: Do as you wish, for I have forgiven you.
