The Expedition of Banu Qurayzah in the Year Five
[ شَأْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ بَاطَا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ، كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَتَى الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ بَاطَا الْقُرَظِيُّ، وَكَانَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - وَكَانَ الزُّبَيْرُ قَدْ مَنَّ عَلَى ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. ذَكَرَ لِي بَعْضُ وَلَدِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ بُعَاثٍ، أَخَذَهُ فَجَزَّ نَاصِيَتَهُ، ثُمَّ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ - فَجَاءَهُ ثَابِتٌ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، هَلْ تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ: وَهَلْ يَجْهَلُ مِثْلِي مِثْلَكَ؛ قَالَ: إنِّي قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَكَ بِيَدِكَ عِنْدِي؛ قَالَ: إنَّ الْكَرِيمَ يَجْزِي الْكَرِيمَ. ثُمَّ أَتَى ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لِلزُّبَيْرِ عَلَيَّ مِنَّةٌ، وَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَهُ بِهَا، فَهَبْ لِي دَمَهُ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: هُوَ لَكَ؛ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: إنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ وَهَبَ لِي دَمَكَ، فَهُوَ لَكَ، قَالَ: شَيْخُ كَبِيرٌ لَا أَهْلَ لَهُ وَلَا وَلَدٌ، فَمَا يَصْنَعُ بِالْحَيَاةِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَى ثَابِتٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَبْ لِي امْرَأَتَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، قَالَ: هُمْ لَكَ. قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: قَدْ وَهَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَكَ وَوَلَدَكَ، فَهُمْ لَكَ؛ قَالَ: أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ بِالْحِجَازِ لَا مَالَ لَهُمْ، فَمَا بَقَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ فَأَتَى ثَابِتٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَالَهُ، قَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ. فَأَتَاهُ ثَابِتٌ فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَالَكَ، فَهُوَ لَكَ قَالَ: أَيْ ثَابِتٌ، مَا فَعَلَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ مِرْآةٌ صِينِيَّةٌ يَتَرَاءَى فِيهَا عَذَارَى الْحَيِّ، كَعْبُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ سَيِّدُ الْحَاضِرِ وَالْبَادِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ مُقَدِّمَتُنَا إذَا شَدَدْنَا، وَحَامِيَتُنَا إذَا فَرَرْنَا، عَزَّالُ بْنُ سَمَوْأَلَ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ الْمُجْلِسَانِ ؟ يَعْنِي بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ قُرَيْظَةَ وَبَنِيَّ عَمْرِو بْنِ قُرَيْظَةَ؛ قَالَ: ذَهَبُوا قُتِلُوا ؟ قَالَ: فَأَنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا ثَابِتُ بِيَدِي عِنْدَكَ إلَّا أَلْحَقْتنِي بِالْقَوْمِ، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا فِي الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ خَيْرٍ، فَمَا أَنَا بِصَابِرِ لِلَّهِ فَتْلَةَ دَلْوٍ نَاضِحٍ حَتَّى أَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّةَ. فَقَدَّمَهُ ثَابِتٌ، فَضُرِبَ عُنُقُهُ. فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَوْلَهُ أَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّةَ. قَالَ: يَلْقَاهُمْ وَاَللَّهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيهَا مُخَلَّدًا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قِبْلَةَ دَلْوٍ نَاضِحٍ. ( و ) قَالَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلْمَى فِي قِبْلَةٍ: وَقَابِلٍ يَتَغَنَّى كُلَّمَا قَدَرَتْ عَلَى الْعَرَاقَى يَدَاهُ قَائِمًا دَفَقَاهُ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى: وَقَابِلٌ يُتَلَقَّى، يَعْنِي قَابِلَ الدَّلْوِ يَتَنَاوَلُ.
Translation
✧ The Case of al-Zubayr b. Bāṭā Ibn Isḥāq said: Thābit b. Qays b. al-Shammās, as Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī mentioned to me, came to al-Zubayr b. Bāṭā al-Quraẓī, who was given the kunyah Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. Al-Zubayr had shown favor to Thābit b. Qays b. Shammās in the pre-Islamic era. Some of al-Zubayr's descendants mentioned to me that he had shown him favor on the day of Buʿāth, when he captured him, cut off his forelock, and then let him go. Thābit came to him, and he was an old man, and said: "O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, do you know me?" He said: "Would one like me be ignorant of one like you?" He said: "I wanted to repay you for the favor you did me." He said: "The noble repays the noble." Then Thābit b. Qays went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, al-Zubayr did me a favor, and I would like to repay him for it, so grant me his blood." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He is yours." So he went to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has granted me your blood, so it is yours." He said: "An old man with no family and no children, what would he do with life?" He said: So Thābit went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah, grant me his wife and child." He said: "They are yours." He said: So he went to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has granted me your family and your child, so they are yours." He said: "A household in the Hijaz with no wealth, how would they remain on that?" So Thābit went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, his wealth." He said: "It is yours." So Thābit went to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has given me your wealth, so it is yours." He said: "O Thābit, what happened to the one whose face was like a Chinese mirror in which the maidens of the tribe could see their reflections, Kaʿb b. Asad?" He said: "He was killed." He said: "What happened to the master of the settled and the desert, Ḥuyayy b. Akhṭab?" He said: "He was killed." He said: "What happened to our vanguard when we attacked, and our protector when we fled, ʿAzzāl b. Samawʾal?" He said: "He was killed." He said: "What happened to the two assemblies?" meaning the Banū Kaʿb b. Qurayẓah and the Banū ʿAmr b. Qurayẓah. He said: "They went and were killed." He said: "Then I ask you, O Thābit, by the favor I have with you, to join me with the people, for by Allah, there is no good in life after these. I cannot endure for Allah the twisting of a well-rope for a water-drawing camel until I meet the loved ones." So Thābit brought him forward, and his neck was struck. When Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq heard his saying "I meet the loved ones," he said: "By Allah, he will meet them in the fire of Hell, abiding therein forever and ever." Ibn Hishām said: "Qiblata dalwin nāḍiḥ" (The twisting of a well-rope for a water-drawing camel). Zuhayr b. Abī Salmā said concerning a qiblah: And a drawer who sings whenever his hands grasp the 'irāqī, standing, pouring it out. This verse is in a poem of his. Ibn Hishām said: It is also related: "wa-qābilun yutalaqqā" (and a drawer who is received), meaning the one receiving the bucket takes it.
