The caliphate of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb
وَفِي سنة ثلاث وعشرين حَجَّ عُمَرُ بِأَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهِيَ آخِرُ حَجَّةٍ حَجَّهَا بِالنَّاسِ. فعَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، وَأَبِي حَارِثَةَ، وَالرَّبِيعِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِمْ قَالُوا: حَجَّ عُمَرُ بِأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَهُنَّ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُنَّ [مِمَّنْ] لَا تَحْتَجِبْنَ مِنْهُ، وَجَعَلَ فِي مُقَدَّمِ قِطَارِهِنِّ: عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، وَفِي مُؤَخَّرِهِ: عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، فَلَمَّا رَدَّهُنَّ شَخَصَ بِهِمَا وَبِالْعَبَّاسِ، وَخَلَّفْنَا عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ أَسْرَعَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْجَابِيَةَ يَوْمَ الْوَقْعَةِ، فَأَتَاهُ الْفَتْحُ بِهَا، وَرَكِبَ عُمَرُ ؓ مَعَ الْجَابِيَةِ يُرِيدُ الْأُرْدُنَّ، وَوَقَفَ لَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَأَهْلُ الذِّمَّةِ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَأَمَامَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ سَجَدُوا، فَقَالَ: لَا تَسْجُدُوا لِلْبَشَرِ، وَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ. وَمَضَى، فَقَالَ الْقِسِّيسُونَ وَالرُّهْبَانُ: مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ بِمَا يُوصَفُ مِنَ الْحَوَارِيِّينَ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ. ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْأُرْدُنَّ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْأُرْدُنِّ أَتَى عَلَى فَيْضِ مَاءٍ، فَأَخَذَتِ الْخُيُولُ يَمْنَةً وَيَسْرَةً، فَنَزَلَ عَنْ بَعِيرِهِ فَأَخَاضَهُ وَأَخَاضَ، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّكَ فِي بِلَادِ الْأَعَاجِمِ، وَقَدْ سَاءَنِي مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ ابْتِذَالِكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُجْرِيَ ذَلِكَ الْبَطَارِقَةَ عَلَيْنَا، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ، فَعَمِدَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَأَطَافَ بِهِ النَّاسُ، فَدَعَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ، فَأَقَامَهُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفَعَكُمْ وَأَعَزَّكُمْ بِدِينِهِ، فَاطْلُبُوا الْعِزَّ بِالدِّينِ وَالْكَرَمِ تَعِزُّوا وَتَتْبَعْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا، وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا الْعِزَّ بِغَيْرِ الدِّينِ فَتَذِلُّوا، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كُنْتُ تَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْآنَ لَنَكَّلْتُ بِكَ. وَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ - هَكَذَا مِنْ رِوَايَةِ سَيْفٍ. وَغَيْرُهُ يَقُولُ: كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ. وعن عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ] عَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ قَالَ: صَنَعَ أَرْخَنُ الْجَابِيَةِ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ طَعَامًا فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ، فَطَعِمَ عُمَرُ، ثُمَّ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَصَلَّى عُمَرُ بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ.
Translation
✧ In the year twenty-three, ʿUmar performed the pilgrimage with the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was the last pilgrimage he performed with the people. From Abū ʿUthmān, Abū Ḥārithah, and al-Rabīʿ, with their chain of transmission, they said: ʿUmar performed the pilgrimage with the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, with their guardians [from among those] from whom they do not veil, and he placed at the front of their caravan ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf and at its rear ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān. When he had sent them back, he departed with the two of them and al-ʿAbbās, and we left ʿAlī ﷺ in charge of the people. Then he hastened until he arrived at al-Jābiyah on the day of the battle, and the conquest came to him there. ʿUmar ؓ rode from al-Jābiyah intending the Jordan, and the Muslims and the people of the covenant stood for him. He came out to them on a donkey, with al-ʿAbbās before him on a horse. When the People of the Book saw him, they prostrated. He said: "Do not prostrate to a human being; prostrate to Allah." And he passed on. The priests and monks said: "We have not seen anyone more resembling the description of the disciples than this man." Then he entered the Jordan on a camel. When he reached the Jordan, he came upon a flooding of water, and the horses took to the right and left. He dismounted from his camel, led it through the water, and it crossed. Abū ʿUbaydah drew near to him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, you are in the lands of the non-Arabs, and what I have seen of your self-abasement has grieved me, fearing that the patricians will use that against us." He remained silent until he entered. Then he went to the pulpit, and the people gathered around him. He summoned Abū ʿUbaydah and made him stand below him. He praised and extolled Allah and said: "O people, Allah has raised you and honored you with His religion, so seek honor through the religion and nobility, and you will be honored and the world will follow you. Do not seek honor through other than the religion, lest you be humiliated. By Allah, if I had warned you before now, I would have made an example of you." ʿUmar returned to Madinah in Muḥarram of the year seventeen—thus according to the narration of Sayf. Others say: That was in the year twenty-three. From ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar, from Nāfiʿ, from Aslam, the client of ʿUmar, who said: The archon of al-Jābiyah prepared food for ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb in the church, and ʿUmar ate. Then the time of prayer came, and ʿUmar prayed with his companions in the church.
