[ جَهْجَاهُ وَسِنَانٌ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ ] فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ، وَرَدَتْ وَارِدَةُ النَّاسِ، وَمَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَجِيرٌ لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: جَهْجَاهُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُودُ فَرَسَهُ، فَازْدَحَمَ جَهْجَاهُ وَسِنَانُ بْنُ وَبَرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَوْفِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَاقْتَتَلَا، فَصَرَخَ الْجُهَنِيُّ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَصَرَخَ جَهْجَاهُ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ؛ فَغَضِبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَهْطٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فِيهِمْ: زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، غُلَامٌ حَدَثٌ، فَقَالَ: أَوَقَدْ فَعَلُوهَا، قَدْ نَافَرُونَا وَكَاثَرُونَا فِي بِلَادِنَا، وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَعَدَّنَا وَجَلَابِيبَ قُرَيْشٍ إلَّا كَمَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُ: سَمِّنْ كَلْبَكَ يَأْكُلْكَ، أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى مَنْ حَضَرَهُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا فَعَلْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ، أَحْلَلْتُمُوهُمْ بِلَادَكُمْ، وَقَاسَمْتُوهُمْ أَمْوَالَكُمْ، أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَكْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ مَا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ لَتَحَوَّلُوا إلَى غَيْرِ دَارِكُمْ. فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، فَمَشَى بِهِ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ فَرَاغِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ، وَعِنْدَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: مُرْ بِهِ عَبَّادَ بْنِ بِشْرٍ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: فَكَيْفَ يَا عُمَرُ إذَا تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا يَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابَهُ لَا وَلَكِنْ أَذَّنَ بِالرَّحِيلِ وَذَلِكَ فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْتَحِلُ فِيهَا، فَارْتَحَلَ النَّاسُ.
Translation
✧ [Jahjah and Sinan and what came from Ibn Ubayy] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that water, the people's water-carriers came down to it. With ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb was a hired man of his from Banū Ghifār, called Jahjāh b. Masʿūd, leading his horse. Jahjāh and Sinān b. Wabar al-Juhanī, the confederate of Banū ʿAwf b. al-Khazraj, crowded each other at the water and fought. The Juhanī cried out, 'O company of the Anṣār!' and Jahjāh cried out, 'O company of the Muhājirūn!' ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy b. Salūl became angry, and with him was a group of his people, among them Zayd b. Arqam, a young lad. He said, 'Have they done this? They have contended with us and outnumbered us in our own land. By Allah, we and the ragged cloaks of Quraysh are only as the first said: "Fatten your dog and it will eat you." Indeed, by Allah, if we return to Madinah, the mightier will expel from it the meaner.' Then he turned to those of his people who were present and said to them, 'This is what you have done to yourselves. You have let them settle in your land and shared your wealth with them. Indeed, by Allah, if you withheld from them what is in your hands, they would move to other than your abode.' Zayd b. Arqam heard that, so he went with it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and that was when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished with his enemy. He told him the news, and with him was ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. He said, 'Command ʿAbbād b. Bishr to kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'How, O ʿUmar, when the people will talk and say that Muhammad kills his companions? No, but call for departure.' That was at an hour when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not usually set out, so the people departed.
