What occurred concerning the man from Irash whose payment for his camels Abu Jahl delayed
[ إنْصَافُ الرَّسُولِ لَهُ مِنْ أَبِي جَهْلٍ ] فَأَقْبَلَ الْإِرَاشِيُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إنَّ أَبَا الْحَكَمِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ قَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَى حَقٍّ لِي قِبَلَهُ، وَأَنَا ( رَجُلٌ ) غَرِيبٌ ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ، وَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُؤَدِّينِي عَلَيْهِ، يَأْخُذُ لِي حَقِّي مِنْهُ، فَأَشَارُوا لِي إلَيْكَ، فَخُذْ لِي حَقِّي مِنْهُ، يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ: انْطَلِقْ إلَيْهِ، وَقَامَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَامَ مَعَهُ قَالُوا لِرَجُلِ مِمَّنْ مَعَهُمْ: اتْبَعْهُ، فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ. قَالَ: وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَاءَهُ فَضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ بَابَهُ: فَقَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: مُحَمَّدٌ، فَاخْرُجْ إلَيَّ، فَخَرَجَ إلَيْهِ، وَمَا فِي وَجْهِهِ مِنْ رَائِحَةٍ قَدْ اُنْتُقِعَ لَوْنُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَعْطِ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ حَقَّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ، لَا تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى أُعْطِيَهُ الَّذِي لَهُ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ، فَخَرَجَ إلَيْهِ بِحَقِّهِ فَدَفَعَهُ إلَيْهِ. ( قَالَ ): ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَقَالَ لِلْإِرَاشِيِّ: الْحَقْ بِشَأْنِكَ، فَأَقْبَلَ الْإِرَاشِيُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ، فَقَالَ: جَزَاهُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، فَقَدْ وَاَللَّهِ أَخَذَ لِي حَقِّي.
Translation
✧ [The Messenger’s securing justice for him from Abu Jahl] So the Irashi came forward until he stood before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O servant of Allah, Abu al-Hakam b. Hisham has wronged me concerning a right of mine that he owes, and I am a stranger, a wayfarer. I asked these people about a man who would help me against him, who would take my right from him for me, and they pointed me to you. So take my right from him for me, may Allah have mercy on you. He said: Go to him. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up with him. When they saw that he stood up with him, they said to a man among those who were with them: Follow him and see what he does. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until he came to him and knocked on his door. He said: Who is this? He said: Muhammad, come out to me. So he came out to him, and there was no color in his face; his complexion had turned pale. He said: Give this man his right. He said: Yes, do not leave until I give him what is his. He said: So he entered and came out to him with his right and handed it to him. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed and said to the Irashi: Go about your business. So the Irashi came forward until he stood at that gathering and said: May Allah reward him well, for by Allah, he took my right for me.
