( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّرْقُفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى ( ح ) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالُوا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبِي، ثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ:
خَرَجَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَقَدْ أَرْمَلُوا، فَسَأَلُوهُمُ الْبَيْعَ، وَقَدْ رَاحَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَالٌ لَهُمْ حَسَنٌ، قَالُوا: مَا عِنْدَنَا بَيْعٌ، فَسَأَلُوهُمُ الْقِرَى، قَالُوا: مَا نَطِيقُ قِرَاكُمْ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَبَيْنَ الْأَعْرَابِ حَتَّى اقْتَتَلُوا، فَتَرَكَتْ لَهُمُ الْأَعْرَابُ الْبُيُوتَ وَمَا فِيهَا، فَأَخَذُوا لِكُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ مِنْهُمْ شَاةً قَالَ: فَأَتَوْا عُمَرَ ؓ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَامَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ تَقَدَّمْتُ فِي هَذَا لَفَعَلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. ثُمَّ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ وَأَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ بِنُزُلِ لَيْلَةٍ لِلضَّيْفِ

A group of the Anṣār went out from Kufa to Medina, and came upon a clan of Banū Asad who had run out of provisions. They asked them to sell them food, though the clan's good livestock had returned to them in the evening. They said: "We have nothing to sell." Then they asked them for hospitality, and they said: "We cannot afford to host you." The dispute went on between them and the Bedouins until they fought one another, and the Bedouins left them the houses and what was in them. So they took one sheep for every ten of them. He said: They came to ʿUmar ؓ and mentioned that to him. He stood up, praised and extolled Allah, and said: "Had I acted on this earlier, I would have done such and such." Then he wrote to the people of the cities and the people of the dhimmah (protected non-Muslims) prescribing a night's provision for the guest.
