Then the Year Eighty-Five Began
أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ شَيْخُنَا الْحَافِظُ الذَّهَبِيُّ: وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ أَمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ، كَانَ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْعَشَرَةِ. قَالَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْقَطَّانِ، وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: كَانَ ثِقَةً، وَكَانَ بِهِ صَمَمٌ، وَوَضَحٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَأَصَابَهُ الْفَالِجُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ. وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ وَوَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ: كَانَ يَسْكُنُ الصُّفَّةَ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ. قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ: أَسْلَمَ وَاثِلَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَجَهَّزُ إِلَى تَبُوكَ فِي آخِرِ الْأَمْرِ. قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ بَعْدِي إِذَا شَبِعْتُمْ مِنَ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ وَالزَّيْتِ، فَأَكَلْتُمْ أَلْوَانَ الطَّعَامِ، وَلَبِسْتُمْ أَنْوَاعَ الثِّيَابِ، فَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ. قَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ. قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: فَمَا ذَهَبَتْ عَنَّا الْأَيَّامُ حَتَّى أَكَلْنَا أَلْوَانَ الطَّعَامِ، وَلَبِسْنَا أَنْوَاعَ الثِّيَابِ، وَرَكِبْنَا الْمَرَاكِبَ. شَهِدَ وَاثِلَةُ تَبُوكَ، ثُمَّ شَهِدَ فَتْحَ دِمَشْقَ وَنَزَلَهَا، وَمَسْجِدُهُ بِهَا عِنْدَ حَبْسِ بَابِ الصَّغِيرِ مِنَ الْقِبْلَةِ. وَهُوَ آخِرُ مَنْ تُوَفِّيَ بِدِمَشْقَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ، قَالَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ. وَقَدْ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ: إِنَّهُ تُوُفِّيَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ. وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ. خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ صَخْرِ خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ صَخْرِ بْنِ حَرْبِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ قُرَيْشٍ بِفُنُونِ الْعِلْمِ، وَلَهُ يَدٌ طُولَى فِي الطِّبِّ، وَكَلَامٌ كَثِيرٌ فِي الْكِيمْيَاءِ وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتَفَادَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَاهِبٍ اسْمُهُ مَرْيَانُسُ، وَكَانَ خَالِدٌ فَصِيحًا بَلِيغًا شَاعِرًا مُطْبِقًا كَأَبِيهِ، دَخَلَ يَوْمًا عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ ابْنَهُ الْوَلِيدَ يَحْتَقِرُ أَخَاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً ( النَّمْلِ: 34 ) فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ: وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا ( الْإِسْرَاءِ: 16 ). فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ أَخُوكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يُقِيمُ اللَّحْنَ. فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: وَالْوَلِيدُ لَا يُقِيمُ اللَّحْنَ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: إِنَّ أَخَاهُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَا يَلْحَنُ. فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: وَأَنَا أَخُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَا أَلْحَنُ. فَقَالَ الْوَلِيدُ - وَكَانَ حَاضِرًا - لِخَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ: اسْكُتْ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تُعَدُّ فِي الْعِيرِ وَلَا فِي النَّفِيرِ. فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ: اسْمَعْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ خَالِدٌ عَلَى الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، وَمَا هُوَ الْعِيرُ وَالنَّفِيرُ غَيْرُ جِدِّي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ صَاحِبِ الْعِيرِ، وَجَدِّي عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ صَاحِبِ النَّفِيرِ، وَلَكِنْ لَوْ قُلْتَ: غُنَيْمَاتٌ وَحُبَيْلَاتٌ وَالطَّائِفُ، وَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ عُثْمَانَ. لَقُلْنَا: صَدَقْتَ. - يَعْنِي أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ كَانَ مَنْفِيًّا بِالطَّائِفِ يَرْعَى غَنَمًا، وَيَأْوِي إِلَى حَبَلَةِ الْكَرَمِ، حَتَّى آوَاهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ حِينَ وَلِيَ، فَسَكَتَ الْوَلِيدُ وَأَبُوهُ، وَلَمْ يُحِيرَا جَوَابًا. وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ. عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مَاتَ عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ . عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ جَزْءٍ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ وَفِيهَا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ جَزْءٍ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ ، وَقِيلَ سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ، وَقِيلَ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَثَمَانِينَ. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَدِيٍّ وَفِيهَا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَدِيٍّ ، وَكَانَ لَهُ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ سِنِينَ.

✧ Abān b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān Our shaykh, the ḥāfiẓ al-Dhahabī, said: He died in this year. Abān b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān Amīr of Madinah. He was one of the ten jurists of Madinah. This was said by Yaḥyā b. al-Qaṭṭān. Muḥammad b. Saʿd said: He was trustworthy. He had deafness and much leprosy, and hemiplegia afflicted him before he died. And ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah And ʿAmr b. Ḥurayth And ʿAmr b. Salamah Wāthilah b. al-Asqaʿ And Wāthilah b. al-Asqaʿ Al-Wāqidī and Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn said: He used to live in the ṣuffah during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Wāqidī said: Wāthilah became Muslim while the Prophet ﷺ was equipping for Tabūk at the end of the matter. Wāthilah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: How will you be after me when you are satiated with wheat bread and oil, and you eat various kinds of food, and you wear various kinds of clothing? Are you better today or that day? He said: We said: That day. He said: Rather, you are better today. Wāthilah said: The days did not pass from us until we ate various kinds of food, wore various kinds of clothing, and rode mounts. Wāthilah witnessed Tabūk, then he witnessed the conquest of Damascus and settled there. His mosque is there near the Ḥabs of Bāb al-Ṣaghīr from the qiblah. He was the last of the Companions to die in Damascus. This was said by Saʿīd b. Bashīr. Al-Bukhārī and others said that he died in the year eighty-three. And Allah knows best. Khālid b. Yazīd b. Muʿāwiyah b. Abī Sufyān Ṣakhr Khālid b. Yazīd b. Muʿāwiyah b. Abī Sufyān Ṣakhr b. Ḥarb b. Umayyah He was the most knowledgeable of Quraysh in the branches of learning. He had a long hand in medicine and much discourse on alchemy. He had acquired that from a monk named Maryānus. Khālid was eloquent, articulate, and an accomplished poet like his father. One day he entered upon ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān in the presence of al-Ḥakam b. Abī al-ʿĀṣ, and complained to him that his son al-Walīd belittled his brother ʿAbd Allāh b. Yazīd. ʿAbd al-Malik said: "When kings enter a town, they ruin it and make the noblest of its people the most abased" (Q 27:34). Khālid said to him: "And when We intend to destroy a town, We command its affluent ones, and they act wickedly therein, so the word is justified against it, and We destroy it utterly" (Q 17:16). ʿAbd al-Malik said: By Allah, your brother ʿAbd Allāh entered upon me, and he does not avoid grammatical errors. Khālid said: And al-Walīd does not avoid grammatical errors. ʿAbd al-Malik said: His brother Sulaymān does not err. Khālid said: And I, the brother of ʿAbd Allāh, do not err. Al-Walīd, who was present, said to Khālid b. Yazīd: Be quiet, for by Allah you are not counted among the caravan nor the war party. Khālid said: Listen, O Commander of the Faithful. Then Khālid turned to al-Walīd and said: Woe to you! What is the caravan and the war party but my grandfather Abū Sufyān, leader of the caravan, and my grandfather ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah, leader of the war party? But if you had said: little sheep, little ropes, and al-Ṭāʾif—and may Allah have mercy on ʿUthmān—we would have said: You have spoken truthfully. Meaning that al-Ḥakam was banished in al-Ṭāʾif tending sheep and taking shelter among grape vines until ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān sheltered him when he came to power. Al-Walīd and his father fell silent and did not return an answer. And Allah, glorified and exalted be He, knows best. ʿAmr b. Ḥurayth al-Makhzūmī In this year ʿAmr b. Ḥurayth al-Makhzūmī died. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith b. Jazʾ al-Zubaydī In it died ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith b. Jazʾ al-Zubaydī—it is also said in the year seven, and it is said in the year eighty-eight. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, ally of Banū ʿAdī In it died ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, ally of Banū ʿAdī. He was four years old when the Prophet ﷺ died.
