ذِكْرُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ الصَّحَابَةِ بِدَعْوَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ [ إسْلَامُ عُثْمَانَ وَالزَّبِيرِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَعْدٍ وَطَلْحَةَ ] قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمَ بِدُعَائِهِ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ قُصَيِّ بْنِ كِلَابِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ خُوَيْلِدِ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قُصَيِّ بْنِ كِلَابِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ. بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ عَوْفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ كِلَابِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَاسْمُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ مَالِكُ بْنُ أُهَيْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كِلَابِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَطَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ تَيْمِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، فَجَاءَ بِهِمْ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لَهُ فَأَسْلَمُوا وَصَلَّوْا. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ، فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي: مَا دَعَوْتُ أَحَدًا إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ إلَّا كَانَتْ فِيهِ عِنْدَهُ كَبْوَةٌ، وَنَظَرٌ وَتَرَدُّدٌ، إلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، مَا عَكَمَ عَنْهُ حِينَ ذَكَرْتُهُ لَهُ، وَمَا تَرَدَّدَ فِيهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَوْلُهُ: بِدُعَائِهِ عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَوْلُهُ: عَكَمَ: تَلَبَّثَ، قَالَ رُؤْبَةُ بْنُ الْعَجَّاجِ: وَانْصَاعَ وَثَّابٌ بِهَا وَمَا عَكَمَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرُ الثَّمَانِيَةُ الَّذِينَ سَبَقُوا النَّاسَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، فَصَلَّوْا وَصَدَّقُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا جَاءَهُ مِنْ اللَّهِ. إسلام طلحة بن عبيد الله وعَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ: حَضَرْتُ سُوقَ بُصْرَى، فَإِذَا رَاهِبٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ، يَقُولُ سَلُوا أَهْلَ الْمَوْسِمِ: أَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مَنْ أَهْلِ الْحَرَمِ ؟ قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ أَنَا. فَقَالَ: هَلْ ظَهَرَ أَحْمَدُ بَعْدُ ؟ قُلْتُ: وَمَنْ أَحْمَدُ ؟ قَالَ: ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، هَذَا شَهْرُهُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ آخِرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، مَخْرَجُهُ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ، وَمُهَاجَرُهُ إِلَى نَخْلٍ، وَحَرَّةٍ، وَسِبَاخٍ، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُسْبَقَ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: فَوَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي مَا قَالَ. فَخَرَجْتُ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ. فَقُلْتُ: هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ حَدَثٍ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَمِينُ تَنَبَّأَ، وَقَدِ اتَّبَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ. قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ: أَتَبِعْتَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهِ، فَادْخُلْ عَلَيْهِ، فَاتَّبِعْهُ ; فَإِنَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى الْحَقِّ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ طَلْحَةُ بِمَا قَالَ الرَّاهِبُ، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِطَلْحَةَ فَدَخَلَ بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمَ طَلْحَةُ وَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا قَالَ الرَّاهِبُ، فَسُّرَ بِذَلِكَ ، فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَطَلْحَةُ أَخَذَهُمَا نَوْفَلُ بْنُ خُوَيْلِدِ بْنِ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ وَكَانَ يُدْعَى أَسَدَ قُرَيْشٍ فَشَدَّهُمَا فِي حَبْلٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُمَا بَنُو تَيْمٍ ; فَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَطَلْحَةُ الْقَرِينَيْنِ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنَا شَرَّ ابْنِ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ.
Translation
✧ Mention of those Companions who embraced Islam at the call of Abū Bakr ؓ [The Islam of ʿUthmān, al-Zubayr, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, Saʿd, and Ṭalḥa] He said: At his call—according to what has reached me—there embraced Islam ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān b. Abī al-ʿĀṣ b. Umayya b. ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf b. Quṣayy b. Kilāb b. Murra b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy b. Ghālib; and al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām b. Khuwaylid b. Asad b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. Quṣayy b. Kilāb b. Murra b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy; and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf b. ʿAbd ʿAwf b. ʿAbd b. al-Ḥārith b. Zuhra b. Kilāb b. Murra b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy; and Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ—Abū Waqqāṣ’s name is Mālik b. Uhayb b. ʿAbd Manāf b. Zuhra b. Murra b. Kilāb b. Murra b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy; and Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAmr b. Kaʿb b. Saʿd b. Taym b. Murra b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy. He brought them to the Messenger of God ﷺ when they responded to him, and they embraced Islam and prayed. The Messenger of God ﷺ used to say, according to what has reached me: “I have never called anyone to Islam but there was in him, with regard to it, a stumble, a hesitation, and an uncertainty, except what was the case with Abū Bakr b. Abī Quḥāfa; he did not hold back from it when I mentioned it to him, nor did he hesitate about it.” Ibn Hishām said: His statement “at his call” is from other than Ibn Isḥāq. Ibn Hishām said: His statement “ʿakama” means “taraddada” (hesitated, lingered). Ruʾba b. al-ʿAjjāj said: And he turned away, leaping with it, and did not hesitate. Ibn Isḥāq said: These eight persons were the ones who preceded the people in Islam; they prayed and believed the Messenger of God ﷺ in what he brought from God. The Islam of Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh From Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. Ṭalḥa, who said: Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh said: I attended the market of Buṣrā, and there was a monk in his cell saying: “Ask the people of the fair: Is there among them a man from the people of the Ḥaram?” Ṭalḥa said: I said, “Yes, I am.” He said, “Has Aḥmad appeared yet?” I said, “Who is Aḥmad?” He said, “The son of ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib. This is the month in which he will emerge. He is the last of the prophets. His place of emergence is the Ḥaram, and his migration will be to a land of palm trees, black stones, and salt flats. Beware lest you be preceded to him.” Ṭalḥa said: What he said fell into my heart, so I left quickly until I arrived in Makkah. I said, “Has there been any news?” They said, “Yes, Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Amīn has claimed prophethood, and Abū Bakr b. Abī Quḥāfa has followed him.” He said: I went out until I entered upon Abū Bakr and said, “Have you followed this man?” He said, “Yes. So go to him, enter upon him, and follow him; for he calls to the truth.” Then Ṭalḥa told him what the monk had said. Abū Bakr went out with Ṭalḥa and entered with him upon the Messenger of God ﷺ, and Ṭalḥa embraced Islam and told the Messenger of God ﷺ what the monk had said, and he was pleased with that. When Abū Bakr and Ṭalḥa embraced Islam, Nawfal b. Khuwaylid b. al-ʿAdawiyya—who was called the Lion of Quraysh—seized them and bound them with a single rope, and the Banū Taym did not protect them. For that reason Abū Bakr and Ṭalḥa were called “the Two Companions.” And the Prophet ﷺ said: “O God, suffice us against the evil of Ibn al-ʿAdawiyya.” Al-Bayhaqī narrated it.
