The Detachment of Khālid b. al-Walīd ᴿᴬ after the Conquest to Banū Jadhīmah of Kinānah
بِعْثِهِ ﷺ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ إِلَى بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ مِنْ كِنَانَةَ [ ووُصَاةُ الرَّسُولِ لَهُ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا حَوْلَ مَكَّةَ السَّرَايَا تَدْعُو إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَلَمْ يَأْمُرْهُمْ بِقِتَالِ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ بَعَثَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسِيرَ بِأَسْفَلِ تِهَامَةَ دَاعِيًا، وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْهُ مُقَاتِلًا وَذَلِكَ فِي شَوَّالَ، فَخَرَجَ فِي ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَذَلِكَ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْفَتْحِ. فَنَزَلَ عَلَى الْغُمَيْصَاءِ مَاءٌ مِنْ مِيَاهِ جَذِيمَةَ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ فَأَصَابَ مِنْهُمْ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَقَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ السُّلَمِيُّ فِي ذَلِكَ: فَإِنْ تَكُ قَدْ أَمَّرْتُ فِي الْقَوْمِ خَالِدًا وَقَدَّمْتُهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَا بِجُنْدِ هَدَاهُ اللَّهُ أَنْتَ أَمِيرُهُ نُصِيبُ بِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ مَنْ كَانَ أَظْلَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ دَاعِيًا، وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْهُ مُقَاتِلًا، وَمَعَهُ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ: سُلَيْمُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَمُدْلِجُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ، فَوَطِئُوا بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَاةِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْقَوْمُ أَخَذُوا السِّلَاحَ، فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: ضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَمَرَنَا خَالِدٌ أَنْ نَضَعَ السِّلَاحَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يُقَالُ لَهُ جَحْدَمٌ: وَيْلَكُمْ يَا بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ إنَّهُ خَالِدٌ وَاَللَّهِ مَا بَعْدَ وَضْعِ السِّلَاحِ إلَّا الْإِسَارُ، وَمَا بَعْدَ الْإِسَارِ إلَّا ضَرْبُ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاَللَّهِ لَا أَضَعُ سِلَاحِي أَبَدًا. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا جَحْدَمُ، أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْفِكَ دِمَاءَنَا ؟ إنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا وَوَضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ، وَوُضِعَتْ الْحَرْبُ، وَأَمِنَ النَّاسُ. فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى نَزَعُوا سِلَاحَهُ، وَوَضَعَ الْقَوْمُ السِّلَاحَ لِقَوْلِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا وَضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ أَمَرَ بِهِمْ خَالِدٌ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَكُتِفُوا، ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى السَّيْفِ فَقَتَلَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى الْخَبَرُ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَبْرَأُ إلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ
Translation
✧ His ﷺ sending Khālid b. al-Walīd ؓ to Banū Jadhīmah of Kinānah [And the Prophet's instructions to him, and what occurred from him] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent out raiding parties around Makkah, calling to God (Mighty and Majestic), and he did not command them to fight. Among those he sent was Khālid b. al-Walīd, and he ordered him to travel through lower Tihāmah as a caller, and he did not send him as a fighter. That was in Shawwāl. He set out with three hundred and fifty men, and that was during the conquest campaign. He halted at al-Ghumayṣāʾ, a watering place among the watering places of Jadhīmah b. ʿĀmir b. ʿAbd Manāh b. Kinānah, and he fell upon some of them. Ibn Hishām said: ʿAbbās b. Mirdās al-Sulamī said about that: If you have indeed placed Khālid in command over the people and put him forward, then he has gone ahead with an army whom God has guided; you are its commander; we strike with him in truth whoever was most wrongful. Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥakīm b. Ḥakīm b. ʿAbbād b. Ḥunayf narrated to me, from Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. ʿAlī, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Khālid b. al-Walīd when he conquered Makkah as a caller, and he did not send him as a fighter. With him were tribes of the Arabs: Sulaym b. Manṣūr and Mudlij b. Murrah. They trampled upon Banū Jadhīmah b. ʿĀmir b. ʿAbd Manāh b. Kinānah. When the people saw him, they took up their weapons, and Khālid said: Put down your weapons, for the people have submitted. Ibn Isḥāq said: One of our companions from the people of knowledge from Banū Jadhīmah narrated to me, saying: When Khālid ordered us to put down our weapons, a man of ours called Jaḥdam said: Woe to you, O Banū Jadhīmah! It is Khālid. By God, after putting down weapons there is nothing but captivity, and after captivity nothing but the striking of necks. By God, I will never put down my weapon. He said: Men of his people took hold of him and said: O Jaḥdam, do you want to shed our blood? The people have submitted and laid down their weapons, war has been put aside, and the people are safe. They kept at him until they stripped him of his weapon, and the people laid down their weapons because of Khālid's words. Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥakīm b. Ḥakīm narrated to me, from Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. ʿAlī, who said: When they laid down their weapons, Khālid ordered them at that point to be bound, then he presented them to the sword and killed those he killed among them. When the news reached the Messenger of God ﷺ, he raised his hands to the sky and then said: O God, I declare myself innocent before You of what Khālid b. al-Walīd has done.
