وَكَانَ النُّقَبَاءُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا، اخْتَارَهُمْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مِنَ السَبْعِينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا اسْتَجَابُوا لَهُ حِينَ بَعَثَ رَسُولَهُ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَمِائَةٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِائَةٍ، وَوَصَفَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَدْلِ صِفَةً، وَكَانَ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ: سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَطَلْحَةُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، وَمِنْ طَيِّئٍ: قَحْطَبَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، وَمِنْ تَمِيمٍ: مُوسَى بْنُ كَعْبٍ أَبُو عُيَيْنَةَ، وَلَاهِزُ بْنُ قُرَيْظٍ، وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُجَاشِعٍ، وَأَسْلَمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، وَمِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ: أَبُو دَاوُدَ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْهَرَوِيُّ، وَيُقَالُ شِبْلُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ مَكَانَ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، وَعِيسَى بْنُ كَعْبٍ، وَأَبُو النَّجْمِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ مَكَانَ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْهَرَوِيِّ، وَهُوَ خَتَنُ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي النُّقَبَاءِ أَحَدٌ وَالِدُهُ حَيٌّ غَيْرَ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ رُزَيْقِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَهُوَ أَبُو زَيْنَبَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ حَرْبَ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، وَصَحِبَ الْمُهَلَّبَ وَغَزَا مَعَهُ، وَكَانَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ يُشَاوِرُهُ فِي الْأُمُورِ وَيَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهَا وَعَمَّا شَهِدَ مِنَ الْحُرُوبِ. وَكَانَتِ الْبَيْعَةُ: أُبَايِعُكُمْ [ عَلَى ] كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِلرِّضَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِذَلِكَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ وَمِيثَاقُهُ، وَالطَّلَاقُ وَالْعَتَاقُ وَالْمَشْيُ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامِ، وَعَلَى أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلُوا رِزْقًا وَلَا طُعْمًا حَتَّى يَبْتَدِئَكُمْ بِهِ وُلَاتُكُمْ.
Translation
✧ The nuqabāʾ (representatives) were twelve men, chosen by Muḥammad b. ʿAlī from among the seventy who had responded to him when he sent his messenger to Khurāsān in the year 103 or 104 AH. He described for them a description of justice. Among them from Khuzāʿah were: Sulaymān b. Kathīr, Mālik b. al-Haytham, Ziyād b. Ṣāliḥ, Ṭalḥah b. Ruzayq, and ʿAmr b. Aʿyan. From Ṭayyiʾ: Qaḥṭabah b. Shabīb b. Khālid b. Maʿdān. From Tamīm: Mūsā b. Kaʿb Abū ʿUyaynah, Lāhiz b. Qurayẓ, al-Qāsim b. Mujāshiʿ, and Aslam b. Sallām. From Bakr b. Wāʾil: Abū Dāwūd b. Ibrāhīm al-Shaybānī and Abū ʿAlī al-Harawī. It is said: Shibl b. Ṭahmān in place of ʿAmr b. Aʿyan, and ʿĪsā b. Kaʿb, and Abū al-Najm Ismāʿīl b. ʿImrān in place of Abū ʿAlī al-Harawī, and he is the son-in-law of Abū Muslim. Among the nuqabāʾ there was no one whose father was alive except Abū Manṣūr Ṭalḥah b. Ruzayq b. Saʿd, and he is Abū Zaynab al-Khuzāʿī. He had witnessed the war of Ibn al-Ashʿath, accompanied al-Muhallab and campaigned with him. Abū Muslim used to consult him in matters and ask him about them and about the wars he had witnessed. The bayʿah (pledge of allegiance) was: "I pledge allegiance to you [on the basis of] the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ and obedience to the chosen one from the Ahl al-Bayt of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Upon you for that is the covenant of Allah and His compact, divorce, manumission, and walking to the Sacred House of Allah, and that you will not ask for provision or food until your rulers initiate it for you."
