The Conquest of Makkah
إِسْلَامِ هِنْدِ بِنْتِ عُتْبَةَ وَمَا وَقَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ ؓ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ: قَالَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ خِبَاءً أَوْ قَالَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ خِبَاءً أَوْ قَالَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ أَوْ قَالَتْ: خِبَائِكَ، رَوَاهُ الشَّيْخَانِ. وَرَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَوْلَاةً لِمَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ تَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ هِنْدًا بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ تَقُولُ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَقُولُ: أَنَا عَادَيْتُهُ كُلَّ الْعَدَاوَةِ، وَفَعَلْتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مَا فَعَلْتُ مِنَ الْمُثْلَى بِعَمِّهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، وَكُلَّمَا سَيَّرَتْ قُرَيْشٌ مَسِيرَةً فَأَنَا مَعَهَا بِنَفْسِي أَوْ مُعِينَةٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ، حَتَّى إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأُعَيِّنُ كُلَّ مَنْ غَزَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، حَتَّى تَجَرَّدْتُ مِنْ ثِيَابِي، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ وَلَاءً بَعْدَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي ظُلْمَةٍ لَا أُبْصِرُ سَهْلًا وَلَا جَبَلًا، وَأَرَى تِلْكَ الظُّلْمَةَ انْفَرَجَتْ عَلَيَّ بِضَوْءٍ كَأَنَّهُ الشَّمْسُ، وَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُونِي، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، كَأَنِّي عَلَى طَرِيقٍ يَدْعُونِي، وَإِذَا هُبَلُ عَنْ يَمِينِي يَدْعُونِي، وَإِذَا إِسَافُ عَنْ شِمَالِي يَدْعُونِي، وَإِذَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ يَقُولُ: «هَلُمِّي إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ كَأَنِّي وَاقِفَةٌ عَلَى شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ، يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَدْفَعُونِي فِيهَا، وَإِذَا بِهُبَلَ يَقُولُ أَدْخِلُوهَا فَالْتَفَتُّ فَأَنْظُرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ وَرَائِي آخِذٌ بِثِيَابِي، فَتَبَاعَدْتُ مِنْ شَفِيرِ النَّارِ فَلَا أَرَى النَّارَ، فَفَزِعْتُ فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا، وَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لِي، فَغَدَوْتُ مِنْ سَاعَتِي إِلَى صَنَمٍ فِي بَيْتٍ كُنَّا نَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْدِيلًا، فَأَخَذْتُ قَدُومًا فَجَعَلْتُ أُفْلِذُهُ وَأَقُولُ: طَالَمَا كُنَّا مِنْكَ فِي غُرُورٍ، وَأَسْلَمْتُ. وَرَوَى أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ؓ أَنَّ هِنْدًا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ، فَأَسْلَمَتْ، وَقَالَتِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ الدِّينَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ لِتَمَسَّنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ بِاللَّهِ، مُصَدِّقَةٌ بِهِ ثُمَّ كَشَفَتْ عَنْ نِقَابِهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَنَا هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَرْحَبًا بِكِ” فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ خِبَائِكَ، وَلَقَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ وَمَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَهْلَ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ خِبَائِكَ. وَرَوَى أَيْضًا عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَسْلَمَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ، أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِهَدِيَّةٍ - وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْطَحِ - مَعَ مَوْلَاةٍ لَهَا بِجَدْيَيْنِ مَرْضُوفَيْنِ وَقَدْ، فَانْتَهَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ مَوْلَاتِي أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْكَ هَذِهِ الْهَدِيَّةَ، وَهِيَ تَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّ غَنَمَنَا الْيَوْمَ قَلِيلَةُ الْوَالِدَةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فِي غَنَمِكُمْ وَأَكْثَرَ وَالِدَتَهَا” وَكَانَتِ الْمَوْلَاةُ تَقُولُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا مِنْ كَثْرَةِ غَنَمِنَا وَوَالِدَتِهَا مَا لَمْ نَكُنْ نَرَى قَبْلُ وَلَا قَرِيبًا، فَتَقُولُ هِنْدٌ: هَذَا بِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ: لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى فِي النَّوْمِ أَنِّي فِي الشَّمْسِ أَبَدًا قَائِمَةٌ وَالظِّلُّ مِنِّي قَرِيبٌ لَا أَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي دَخَلْتُ الظِّلَّ.
Translation
✧ The Islam of Hind bt. ʿUtbah and the signs that occurred in that regard ؓ On the authority of ʿĀʾishah ؓ who said: Hind bt. ʿUtbah said: O Messenger of Allah, there was no tent on the face of the earth—or she said: among the people of a tent—whose people I wished to be humiliated more than the people of your tent. Then, as of today, there is no tent on the face of the earth—or she said: among the people of a tent—whose people I love to be honored more than the people of a tent—or she said: your tent. Related by the two Shaykhs. And Muḥammad b. ʿUmar related from ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz—may Allah Almighty have mercy on him—who said: I heard a female client of Marwān b. al-Ḥakam say: I heard Hind bt. ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah say, while mentioning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: I opposed him with all enmity, and on the day of Uḥud I did what I did of mutilation to his uncle and his companions. Whenever Quraysh dispatched an expedition, I was with them in person or as a supporter of Quraysh, until I would aid everyone who raided Muḥammad, to the point that I stripped off my clothes. Then I saw in a dream for three consecutive nights after the conquest of Makkah: I saw as though I was in darkness, unable to see a plain or a mountain, and I saw that darkness split open for me with a light like the sun, and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling me. Then I saw on the second night as though I was on a road, and he was calling me, and there was Hubal on my right calling me, and Isāf on my left calling me, and there was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in front of me saying: "Come to the road." Then I saw on the third night as though I was standing at the edge of Hell, and they wanted to push me into it, and there was Hubal saying: Put her into it. So I turned and looked at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ behind me holding my clothes, and I moved away from the edge of the Fire, and I no longer saw the Fire. So I was alarmed and said: What is this? And it became clear to me. So I went early that very hour to an idol in a house over which we used to place a cloth, and I took an adze and began to chop it to pieces, saying: How long we were in delusion because of you. And I embraced Islam. And he also related from ʿAbd Allah b. al-Zubayr ؓ that Hind came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at al-Abṭaḥ, and she embraced Islam, and said: Praise be to Allah who made manifest the religion He chose for Himself, that your mercy may touch me, O Muḥammad. I am a woman who believes in Allah and affirms Him. Then she uncovered her face-veil and said: I am Hind bt. ʿUtbah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Welcome to you." She said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, there was no household on the face of the earth whose people I loved to be humiliated more than your household, and now I have become such that there is no household on earth whose people I love to be honored more than your household. And he also related from Abū Ḥuṣayn al-Hudhalī who said: When Hind bt. ʿUtbah embraced Islam, she sent a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—while he was at al-Abṭaḥ—with a female client of hers, consisting of two kids roasted on hot stones. The girl reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My mistress sent you this gift, and she apologizes to you and says: Our sheep today are few in offspring. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "May Allah bless your sheep for you and increase their offspring." The female client used to say: We saw of the abundance of our sheep and their offspring what we had not seen before or recently. Hind would say: This is by the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then she would say: I used to see in a dream that I was always standing in the sun, and the shade was near me but I could not reach it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew near, I saw as though I entered the shade.
