[ تَدْبِيرُ عَامِرٍ لِلْغَدْرِ بِالرَّسُولِ ] فَقَدِمَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ، عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الْغَدْرَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ: يَا عَامِرُ، إنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَأَسْلِمْ. قَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ آلَيْتُ أَنْ لَا أَنْتَهِيَ حَتَّى تَتْبَعَ الْعَرَبُ عَقِبِي، أَفَأَنَا أَتْبَعُ عَقِبَ هَذَا الْفَتَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَرْبَدَ: إذَا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى الرَّجُلِ، فَإِنِّي سَأَشْغَلُ عَنْكَ وَجْهَهُ، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَاعْلُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ؛ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، خَالِنِي، قَالَ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنَ بِاَللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ. قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ خَالِنِي. وَجَعَلَ يُكَلِّمُهُ وَيَنْتَظِرُ مِنْ أَرْبَدَ مَا كَانَ أَمَرَهُ بِهِ، فَجَعَلَ أَرْبَدُ لَا يُحِيرُ شَيْئًا؛ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَامِرُ مَا يَصْنَعُ أَرْبَدُ، قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ خَالِنِي قَالَ: لَا، حَتَّى تُؤْمِنَ بِاَللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ. فَلَمَّا أَبَى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَأَمْلَأَنَّهَا عَلَيْكَ خَيْلًا وَرِجَالًا؛ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي عَامِرَ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ. فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ عَامِرٌ لِأَرْبَدَ: وَيْلَكَ يَا أَرْبَدُ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُ أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ ؟ وَاَللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ هُوَ أَخْوَفَ عِنْدِي عَلَى نَفْسِي مِنْكَ. وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَا أَخَافُكَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ أَبَدًا. قَالَ: لَا أَبَا لَكَ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ، وَاَللَّهِ مَا هَمَمْتُ بِاَلَّذِي أَمَرْتنِي بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ إلَّا دَخَلْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ، حَتَّى مَا أَرَى غَيْرَكَ، أَفَأَضْرِبكَ بِالسَّيْفِ ؟
Translation
✧ [ʿĀmir's Plan to Betray the Messenger] ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl, the enemy of Allah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, intending to betray him. His people had said to him: "O ʿĀmir, the people have embraced Islam, so embrace Islam." He said: "By Allah, I had sworn that I would not stop until the Arabs follow my heels; shall I then follow the heels of this youth from Quraysh?" Then he said to Arbad: "When we come to the man, I will distract his face from you; when I do that, strike him with the sword." When they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl said: "O Muḥammad, speak with me privately." He said: "No, by Allah, not until you believe in Allah alone." He said: "O Muḥammad, speak with me privately." He kept speaking to him, waiting for Arbad to do what he had commanded him, but Arbad did nothing. When ʿĀmir saw what Arbad was doing, he said: "O Muḥammad, speak with me privately." He said: "No, not until you believe in Allah alone, without partner." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused him, he said: "By Allah, I will fill it against you with horses and men." When he turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Allah, suffice me against ʿĀmir b. al-Ṭufayl." When they left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ʿĀmir said to Arbad: "Woe to you, O Arbad, where is what I commanded you? By Allah, there was no man on the face of the earth whom I feared more for myself than you. By Allah, I will never fear you after today." He said: "May you have no father, do not hasten against me. By Allah, I did not resolve to do what you commanded me regarding him except that you came between me and the man, until I saw none but you; should I strike you with the sword?"
