The caliphate of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ᴿᴬ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَنَةُ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ النَّبَوِيَّةِ . اسْتَهَلَّتْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةُ وَجُيُوشُ الصِّدِّيقِ وَأُمَرَاؤُهُ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ لِقِتَالِ أَهْلِ الرِّدَّةِ جَوَّالُونَ فِي الْبِلَادِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ; لِتَمْهِيدِ قَوَاعِدِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَقِتَالِ الطُّغَاةِ مِنَ الْأَنَامِ، حَتَّى رُدَّ شَارِدُ الدِّينِ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِهِ، وَرَجَعَ الْحَقُّ إِلَى نِصَابِهِ، وَتَمَهَّدَتْ جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَبِ، وَصَارَ الْبَعِيدُ الْأَقْصَى كَالْقَرِيبِ الْأَدْنَى. وَقَدْ قَالَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ السِّيَرِ وَالتَّوَارِيخِ: إِنَّ وَقْعَةَ الْيَمَامَةِ كَانَتْ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ فِي أَوَاخِرِ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا. وَالْجَمْعُ بَيْنَ الْقَوْلَيْنِ أَنَّ ابْتِدَاءَهَا كَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْمَاضِيَةِ، وَانْتِهَاءَهَا وَقَعَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ الْآتِيَةِ، فَعَلَى قَوْلِ الْأَوَّلِينَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُنْقَلُ تَرَاجِمُ مَنْ ذَكَرْنَا أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ فِي الْيَمَامَةِ إِلَى هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَعَلَى الْقَوْلِ الْآخَرِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُذْكَرُوا فِي السَّنَةِ الْمَاضِيَةِ كَمَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ ; لِاحْتِمَالِ أَنَّهُمْ قُتِلُوا فِي الْمَاضِيَةِ، وَمُبَادَرَةً إِلَى اسْتِيفَاءِ تَرَاجِمِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُذْكَرُوا مَعَ مَنْ قُتِلَ بِالشَّامِ وَالْعِرَاقِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، عَلَى مَا سَنَذْكُرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، وَبِهِ الثِّقَةُ وَعَلَيْهِ التُّكْلَانُ. وَقَدْ قِيلَ: إِنَّ وَقْعَةَ جُوَاثَى وَعُمَانَ وَمَهْرَةَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْوَقَائِعِ الَّتِي أَشَرْنَا إِلَيْهَا إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ فِي سَنَةِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ. وَفِيهَا كَانَ قَتْلُ الْمُلُوكِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ ; جَمْدٌ، وَمِخْوَسٌ، وَأَبْضَعَةُ، وَمِشْرَحٌ، وَأُخْتُهُمْ الْعَمَرَّدَةُ، الَّذِينَ وَرَدَ الْحَدِيثُ فِي " مُسْنَدِ أَحْمَدَ " بِلَعْنِهِمْ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُمْ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ.
Translation
✧ In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Year 12 of the Prophetic Hijrah. This year began while the armies of al-Ṣiddīq and his commanders whom he had sent to fight the people of apostasy were roaming the lands to the right and left, to lay the foundations of Islam and fight the tyrants among mankind, until the straying of the religion was brought back after its departure, the truth returned to its rightful place, the Arabian Peninsula was pacified, and the farthest became like the nearest. A group of scholars of biography and history have said that the Battle of al-Yamāmah was in Rabīʿ al-Awwal of this year. It was also said that it was at the end of the previous year. The reconciliation between the two statements is that its beginning was in the previous year, and its end occurred in this coming year. According to the first statement, the biographies of those whom we mentioned were killed at al-Yamāmah should be transferred to this year. According to the other statement, they should be mentioned in the previous year as we have mentioned, due to the possibility that they were killed in the previous year, and out of haste to complete their biographies before they are mentioned with those killed in Syria and Iraq in this year, as we shall mention, God willing, and in Him is trust and reliance. It has also been said that the Battle of Juʾāthā, ʿUmān, and Mahrah, and what occurred of the events that we have indicated, were in year 12. In it was the killing of the four kings: Jamd, Mikhwas, Abḍaʿah, and Mishraḥ, and their sister al-ʿAmarradah, who are cursed in the ḥadīth in the Musnad of Aḥmad, and the one who killed them was Ziyād b. Labīd al-Anṣārī.
