Mention of Year Nine and Its Designation as the Year of Delegations
اخْتُلِفَ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ الْوُفُودِ عَلَيْهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ فِي آخِرِ سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَمَا بَعْدَهَا، وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: كَانَتْ سَنَةُ تِسْعٍ تُسَمَّى سَنَةَ الْوُفُودَ. وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ وَفَدَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مُضَرَ أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، وَذَلِكَ فِي رَجَبٍ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ، فَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْهِجْرَةَ فِي دَارِهِمْ وَقَالَ: " أَنْتُمْ مُهَاجِرُونَ حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ، فَارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَمْوَالِكُمْ ". فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى بِلَادِهِمْ. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْكَلْبِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ، أَنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَدِمَ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ خُزَاعِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ نُهْمٍ وَمَعَهُ عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، فَبَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى إِسْلَامِ قَوْمِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَمْ يَجِدْهُمْ كَمَا ظَنَّ فِيهِمْ، فَتَأَخَّرُوا عَنْهُ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَنْ يُعَرِّضَ بِخُزَاعِيٍّ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَهْجُوَهُ، فَذَكَرَ أَبْيَاتًا، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْ خُزَاعِيًّا شَكَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَحَمُوا لَهُ، وَأَسْلَمُوا مَعَهُ، وَقَدِمَ بِهِمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْفَتْحِ دَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، لِوَاءَ مُزَيْنَةَ - وَكَانُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَلْفًا - إِلَى خُزَاعِيٍّ هَذَا. قَالَ: وَهُوَ أَخُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ذِي الْبِجَادَيْنِ. وَقَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: بَابُ وَفْدِ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ الْمَازِنِيِّ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: أَتَى نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: " اقْبَلُوا الْبُشْرَى يَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ بَشَّرْتَنَا فَأَعْطِنَا. فَرُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَجَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: " اقْبَلُوا الْبُشْرَى إِذْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا بَنُو تَمِيمٍ ". قَالُوا: قَدْ قَبِلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَمِّرِ الْقَعْقَاعَ بْنَ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: بَلْ أَمِّرِ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَّا خِلَافِي. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا أَرَدْتُ خِلَافَكَ. فَتَمَارَيَا حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا، فَنَزَلَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ( الْحُجُرَاتِ: 1 ) حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ.
Translation
✧ There was disagreement about the beginning of the delegations to him ﷺ. It was said: after his return from al-Jiʿrānah at the end of year eight and thereafter. Ibn Isḥāq said: after the expedition of Tabūk. Ibn Hishām said: year nine was called the Year of Delegations. Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-Wāqidī said: Kathīr b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī narrated to us, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: the first of Muḍar to come as a delegation to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were four hundred from Muzaynah, and that was in Rajab of year five. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted them the emigration in their own abode and said: "You are emigrants wherever you are, so return to your properties." So they returned to their lands. Then al-Wāqidī mentioned from Hishām b. al-Kalbī with his chain of transmission, that the first of Muzaynah to arrive was Khuzāʿī b. ʿAbd Nuhm, and with him were ten of his people. He pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on behalf of the Islam of his people. When he returned to them, he did not find them as he had expected of them, so they held back from him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Ḥassān b. Thābit to allude to Khuzāʿī without satirizing him. He mentioned some verses. When they reached Khuzāʿī, he complained of that to his people, so they became zealous for him and embraced Islam with him. He brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. On the day of the conquest, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed the banner of Muzaynah—they were then one thousand—to this Khuzāʿī. He said: and he was the brother of ʿAbd Allāh Dhū al-Bijādayn. Al-Bukhārī, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Chapter on the delegation of Banū Tamīm. Abū Nuʿaym narrated to us; Sufyān narrated to us, from Abū Ṣakhrah, from Ṣafwān b. Muḥriz al-Māzinī, from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn, who said: a group from Banū Tamīm came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Accept the glad tidings, O Banū Tamīm." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have given us glad tidings, so give us." That was seen in his face. Then a group from Yemen came, and he said: "Accept the glad tidings, since Banū Tamīm did not accept them." They said: "We have accepted, O Messenger of Allah." Then al-Bukhārī said: Ibrāhīm b. Mūsā narrated to us; Hishām b. Yūsuf narrated to us, that Ibn Jurayj informed him, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, that ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr informed them that a mounted group from Banū Tamīm came to the Prophet ﷺ. Abū Bakr said: "Appoint al-Qaʿqāʿ b. Maʿbad b. Zurārah." ʿUmar said: "Rather appoint al-Aqraʿ b. Ḥābis." Abū Bakr said: "You intend only to oppose me." ʿUmar said: "I do not intend to oppose you." They disputed until their voices rose, and the verse was revealed: 'O you who believe, do not put yourselves forward before Allah and His Messenger' (al-Ḥujurāt: 1) until it was completed.
