فِي وُفُودٍ بَنِي الْبَكَّائِيِّ إِلَيْهِ ﷺ. رَوَى ابْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْبَكَّائِيِّ وَعَنِ الْجَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْبَكَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَابْنُ شَاهِينٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ، وَعَنِ الْحُسْنِ وَعَنِ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَعَنْ رِجَالٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ وَابْنِ مِنْدَهْ، وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ أُخْرَى، وَابْنُ شَاهِينٍ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ ثَوْرٍ، وَابْنُ شَاهِينٍ، وَثَابِتٌ فِي الدَّلَائِلِ. قَالُوا: وَفَدَ مِنْ بَنِي الْبَكَّاءِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ: مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ ثَوْرِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ الْبَكَّائِيِّ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ابْنُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ بِشْرٌ، وَالْفُجَيْعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدُحِ بْنِ الْبَكَّاءِ، وَمَعَهُمْ عَبْدُ عَمْرٍو، وَهُوَ الْأَصَمُّ. فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلٍ وَضِيَافَةٍ، وَأَجَازَهُمْ، وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ. وَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «إِنِّي أَتَبَرَّكُ بِمِسِّكَ وَقَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَابْنِي هَذَا بَرٌّ بِي فَامْسَحْ وَجْهَهُ». فَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجْهَ بِشْرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَعْطَاهُ أَعْنُزًا عُفْرًا وَبَرَّكَ عَلَيْهِنَّ. قَالَ الْجَعْدُ: فَالسَّنَةُ رُبَّمَا أَصَابَتْ بَنِي الْبَكَّاءِ وَلَا تُصِيبُ آلَ مُعَاوِيَةَ. وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ ثَوْرِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْبَكَّاءِ ؓ: وَأَبِي الَّذِي مَسَحَ الرَّسُولُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَدَعَا لَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَالْبَرَكَاتِ أَعْطَاهُ أَحْمَدُ إِذْ أَتَاهُ أَعْنُزًا عُفْرًا نَوَاجِلَ لَسْنَ بِاللَّجِنَاتِ يَمْلَأْنَ رِفْدَ الْحَيِّ كُلَّ عَشِيَّةٍ وَيَعُودُ ذَاكَ الْمَلْءُ بِالْغَدَوَاتِ بُورِكْنَ مَنْ مِنَحٍ وَبُورِكَ مَانِحًا وَعَلَيْهِ مِنِّي مَا حَيِيتُ صَلَاتِي وَسَمَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَبْدَ عَمْرٍو الْأَصَمَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَتَبَ لَهُ بِمِائِهِ الَّذِي أَسْلَمَ عَلَيْهِ بِذِي الْقَصَّةِ. وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الظُّلَّةِ يَعْنِي الصُّفَّةِ صُفَّةِ الْمَسْجِدِ.
Translation
✧ Concerning the delegations of Banū al-Bakkāʾī to him ﷺ. Ibn Saʿd narrated from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir al-Bakkāʾī and from al-Jaʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir al-Bakkāʾī from his father, and Ibn Shāhīn from Yazīd b. Rūmān, and from al-Ḥusn and from al-Suddī from Abū Mālik and from the men of al-Madāʾinī and Ibn Minda, and Abū Nuʿaym from another route, and Ibn Shāhīn from another aspect from Bishr b. Muʿāwiya b. Thawr, and Ibn Shāhīn, and Thābit in al-Dalāʾil. They said: A delegation from Banū al-Bakkāʾ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in year nine, three persons: Muʿāwiya b. Thawr b. ʿUbāda al-Bakkāʾī, and he was then one hundred years old, and with him a son of his called Bishr, and al-Fujayʿ b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Junduḥ b. al-Bakkāʾ, and with them ʿAbd ʿAmr, and he is al-Aṣamm. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for them a lodging and hospitality, and he gave them gifts, and they returned to their people. Muʿāwiya said to the Prophet ﷺ: "I seek blessing by touching you, and I have grown old, and this son of mine is dutiful to me, so wipe his face." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped the face of Bishr b. Muʿāwiya and gave him some tawny she-goats and blessed them. Al-Jaʿd said: The year of drought sometimes struck Banū al-Bakkāʾ but did not strike the family of Muʿāwiya. Muḥammad b. Bishr b. Muʿāwiya b. Thawr b. ʿUbāda b. al-Bakkāʾ ؓ said: And my father whose head the Messenger wiped, and prayed for him for good and blessings; Aḥmad gave him, when he came to him, she-goats, Tawny, long-uddered, not with pendulous udders; they fill the milk-vessel of the tribe every evening, And that filling returns in the mornings; blessed were they as a gift and blessed the giver, And upon him, as long as I live, is my prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ named ʿAbd ʿAmr al-Aṣamm ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and wrote for him regarding his hundred that he had become Muslim upon it at Dhū l-Qaṣṣa. And ʿAbd al-Raḥmān was among the people of the ẓulla, meaning the ṣuffa, the ṣuffa of the mosque.
