The Conquest of Makkah
[ كَيْفَ أَسْلَمَ فَضَالَةُ بْنُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ الْمُلَوَّحِ ] واطِّلَاعِهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَا هَمَّ بِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ الْمُلَوَّحِ اللَّيْثِيَّ أَرَادَ قَتْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ - عَامَ الْفَتْحِ - فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفَضَالَةُ ؟ ” قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «مَاذَا كُنْتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ ؟ ” قَالَ: لَا شَيْءَ، كُنْتُ أَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ”. ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَسَكَنَ، وَكَانَ فَضَالَةُ يَقُولُ: وَاللَّهُ مَا رَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْ صَدْرِي حَتَّى مَا خُلِقَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ، وَرَجَعَ فَضَالَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، قَالَ: فَمَرَرْتُ بِامْرَأَةٍ كُنْتُ أَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: هَلُمَّ إِلَى الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ لَا. وَانْبَعَثَ فَضَالَةُ يَقُولُ: قَالَتْ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الْحَدِيثِ فَقُلْتُ لَا يَأْبَى عَلَيَّ اللَّهُ وَالْإِسْلَامُ إِذَا مَا رَأَيْتِ مُحَمَّدًا وَقَبِيلَهُ بِالْفَتْحِ يَوْمَ تُكَسَّرُ الْأَصْنَامُ لَرَأَيْتِ دِينَ اللَّهِ أَضْحَى بَيِّنًا وَالشَّرَكُ يَغْشَى وَجْهَهُ الْإِظْلَامُ ذَكَرَهُ أَبُو عُمَرَ فِي الدُّرَرِ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ فِي الِاسْتِيعَابِ، وَهُوَ عَلَى شَرْطِهِ، وَذَكَرَهُ الْقَاضِي فِي الشِّفَاءِ بِنَحْوِهِ.
Translation
✧ [ How Faḍālah b. ʿUmayr b. al-Mulawwaḥ became Muslim ] and the Prophet's ﷺ awareness of what he intended Ibn Hishām said: One of the people of knowledge related to me that Faḍālah b. ʿUmayr b. al-Mulawwaḥ al-Laythī intended to kill the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was circumambulating the House—in the year of the conquest. When he drew near to him, the Messenger of God ﷺ said, “Faḍālah?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “What were you saying to yourself?” He said, “Nothing. I was remembering God.” The Messenger of God ﷺ laughed, then said, “Ask God's forgiveness.” Then he placed his hand upon his chest, and he became calm. Faḍālah used to say: By God, he did not lift his hand from my chest until there was nothing created more beloved to me than him. Faḍālah returned to his family. He said: I passed by a woman to whom I used to speak, and she said, “Come to converse.” He said, “No.” Faḍālah set out saying: She said, “Come to converse,” and I said, “No. God and Islam refuse me.” If you saw Muḥammad and his tribe, at the conquest on the day the idols are broken, you would see God's religion become manifest, while polytheism's face is covered by darkness. Abū ʿUmar mentioned it in al-Durar, but did not mention it in al-Istīʿāb, though it meets his criterion. Al-Qāḍī mentioned something similar in al-Shifāʾ.
