The Expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq (al-Muraysi')
ذِكْرُ إِخْبَارِهِ ﷺ بِمَوْتِ كَبِيرٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَإِخْبَارِهِ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ نَاقَتِهِ حِينَ فُقِدَتْ وَبِمَا قَالَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ النِّفَاقِ رَوَى مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ قُرْبَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَاجَتْ رِيحٌ تَكَادُ تَدْفِنُ الرَّاكِبَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، بُعِثَتْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ لِمَوْتِ مُنَافِقٍ . فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أَذَّنَ: قَدْ مَاتَ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ: لَمَّا سَرَّحَ النَّاسُ ظَهَرَهُمْ أَخَذَتْهُمْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ حَتَّى أَشْفَقَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا وَقَالُوا: لَمْ تَهِجْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ إِلَّا لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ حَدَثَ، وَإِنَّمَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ الذَّرَارِيُّ وَالصِّبْيَانُ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حِصْنٍ مُدَّةٌ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ حِينَ انْقِضَائِهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيهَا بَأْسٌ، مَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ نَقْبٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ يَحْرُسُهُ، وَمَا كَانَ لِيَدْخُلَهَا عَدُوٌّ حَتَّى تَأْتُوهَا، وَلَكِنْ مَاتَ الْيَوْمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مُنَافِقٌ عَظِيمُ النِّفَاقِ، فَلِذَلِكَ عَصَفَتْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ، وَكَانَ مَوْتُهُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ غَيْظًا شَدِيدًا، وَهُوَ زَيْدُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ التَّابُوتِ، مَاتَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ، كَانَ كَهْفًا لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ». وَرَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ: كَانَتِ الرِّيحُ [يَوْمَئِذٍ] أَشَدَّ مَا كَانَتْ قَطُّ إِلَى أَنْ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ سَكَنَتْ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ، وَذَكَرَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الرِّيحِ حَتَّى دُفِنَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ فَسَكَنَتِ الرِّيحُ. وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ: قَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِابْنِ أُبَيٍّ: يَا أَبَا الْحُبَابِ، مَاتَ خَلِيلُكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَيُّ خَلِيلٍ ؟ قَالَ: مِنْ مَوْتِهِ فُتِحَ لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَأَهْلِهِ، قَالَ: مَنْ ؟ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ التَّابُوتِ، قَالَ: يَا وَيْلَاهُ، كَانَ وَاللَّهِ وَكَانَ ! فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ: اعْتَصَمْتُ وَاللَّهِ بِالذَّنَبِ الْأَبْتَرِ، قَالَ: مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ بِمَوْتِهِ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهُ مَاتَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ. فَسَقَطَ فِي يَدَيْهِ، وَانْصَرَفَ كَئِيبًا حَزِينًا
Translation
✧ Mention of his ﷺ informing of the death of a great one among the hypocrites, and his informing about the location of his she-camel when it was lost, and of what some of the people of hypocrisy said Muslim narrated from Jābir b. ʿAbd Allāh ؓ who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ arrived from a journey. When he was near Madinah, a wind blew that almost buried the rider, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "This wind was sent for the death of a hypocrite." When we entered Madinah, it was announced: "A great one among the great hypocrites has died." Muḥammad b. ʿUmar said: When the people let their mounts loose, a severe wind seized them until the people feared it and said: "This wind has not blown except for something that has happened, and in Madinah are only women and children." There was a truce between the Prophet ﷺ and ʿUyaynah b. Ḥiṣn, and that was when it was ending. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "There is no harm for you in it. There is no breach in Madinah except that an angel guards it, and no enemy was to enter it until you come to it. But today a hypocrite of great hypocrisy died in Madinah, so for that this wind blew fiercely, and his death was a severe rage for the hypocrites. He was Zayd b. Rifāʿah b. al-Tābūt. He died that day; he was a refuge for the hypocrites." Muḥammad b. ʿUmar narrated from Jābir ؓ who said: The wind [on that day] was the strongest it had ever been until the sun declined, then it calmed at the end of the day. The people of Madinah mentioned that they found the same from the severity of the wind until the enemy of God was buried, then the wind calmed. Muḥammad b. ʿUmar said: ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar narrated to me from his father: ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit said that day to Ibn Ubayy: "O Abū al-Ḥubāb, has your intimate friend died?" He said: "Which intimate friend?" He said: "By his death, it has been opened for Islam and its people." He said: "Who?" He said: "Zayd b. Rifāʿah b. al-Tābūt." He said: "O woe! By God, he was and he was!" Then ʿUbādah said: I sought refuge, by God, in the tailless tail. He said: "Who informed you, O Abū al-Walīd, of his death?" He said: "I said: The Messenger of God ﷺ informed us that he died this hour." Then he was at a loss, and he turned away gloomy, sad.
