What occurred concerning the man from Irash whose payment for his camels Abu Jahl delayed
أَمْرُ الْإِرَاشِيِّ الَّذِي بَاعَ أَبَا جَهْلٍ إبِلَهُ [ مُمَاطَلَةُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ لَهُ، وَاسْتِنْجَادُهُ بِقُرَيْشِ، وَاسْتِخْفَافُهُمْ بِالرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، وَكَانَ وَاعِيَةً، قَالَ: قَدِمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ إرَاشٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: إرَاشَةَ - بِإِبِلِ لَهُ مَكَّةَ، فَابْتَاعَهَا مِنْهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ، فَمَطَلَهُ بِأَثْمَانِهَا. فَأَقْبَلَ الْإِرَاشِيُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى نَادٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، مَنْ رَجُلٌ يُؤَدِّينِي عَلَى أَبِي الْحَكَمِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ غَرِيبٌ، ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ، وَقَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَى حَقِّي ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ: أَتَرَى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ الْجَالِسَ - لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُمْ يَهْزَءُونَ بِهِ لِمَا يَعْلَمُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ مِنْ الْعَدَاوَةِ - اذْهَبْ إلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَدِّيكَ عَلَيْهِ.
Translation
✧ THE AFFAIR OF THE MAN FROM IRĀSH WHO SOLD HIS CAMELS TO ABŪ JAHL [ABŪ JAHL'S WITHHOLDING PAYMENT FROM HIM, HIS SEEKING HELP FROM QURAYSH, AND THEIR MOCKING THE MESSENGER] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Sufyān al-Thaqafī, who was a retentive transmitter, related to me, saying: A man from Irāsh—Ibn Hishām said: It is also said Irāshah—arrived in Makkah with camels of his, and Abū Jahl bought them from him but delayed paying him their prices. The Irāshī came and stood by an assembly of Quraysh while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in a corner of the mosque, and said: O company of Quraysh, who is a man who will help me get my due from Abū al-Ḥakam b. Hishām? For I am a stranger, a wayfarer, and he has overcome me and taken my right. He said: The people of that assembly said to him—pointing to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, mocking him because of the enmity they knew existed between him and Abū Jahl—Go to that sitting man, for he will help you get your due from him.
