The second pledge of al-Aqabah and what occurred therein
[ إسْلَامُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ كَعْبٌ: ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا إلَى الْحَجِّ، وَوَاعَدْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْعَقَبَةِ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنْ الْحَجِّ، وَكَانَتْ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي وَاعَدْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَهَا، وَمَعَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ أَوْ جَابِرٌ، سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَاتِنَا، وَشَرِيفٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا، أَخَذْنَاهُ مَعَنَا، وَكُنَّا نَكْتُمُ مَنْ مَعَنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَمْرَنَا، فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ وَقُلْنَا لَهُ: يَا أَبَا جَابِرٍ، إنَّكَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَاتِنَا، وَشَرِيفٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا، وَإِنَّا نَرْغَبُ بِكَ عَمَّا أَنْتَ فِيهِ أَنْ تَكُونَ حَطَبًا لِلنَّارِ غَدًا، ثُمَّ دَعَوْنَاهُ إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِمِيعَادِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إيَّانَا الْعَقَبَةَ. قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمَ وَشَهِدَ مَعَنَا الْعَقَبَةَ، وَكَانَ نَقِيبًا. قَالَ: فَنِمْنَا تَلِكَ اللَّيْلَةَ مَعَ قَوْمِنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا، حَتَّى إذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ رِحَالِنَا لِمَعَادِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، نَتَسَلَّلُ تَسَلُّلَ الْقَطَا مُسْتَخْفِينَ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعْنَا فِي الشِّعْبِ عِنْدَ الْعَقَبَةِ، وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَسَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا، وَمَعَنَا امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ نِسَائِنَا: نُسَيْبَةُ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ، أُمُّ عُمَارَةَ، إحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي مَازِنِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ، وَأَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ نَابِي، إحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، وَهِيَ أُمُّ مَنِيعٍ
Translation
✧ [The Islam of ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr] Ibn Isḥāq said: Maʿbad b. Kaʿb narrated to me that his brother ʿAbd Allāh b. Kaʿb narrated to him that his father Kaʿb b. Mālik narrated to him. Kaʿb said: Then we went out to the pilgrimage, and we had appointed a meeting with the Messenger of God ﷺ at al-ʿAqabah in the middle of the days of al-Tashrīq. He said: When we had finished the pilgrimage, and it was the night for which we had appointed the meeting with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and with us was ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. Ḥarām, or Jābir, a chief among our chiefs and a noble among our nobles, we took him with us. We used to conceal our affair from those of our people, the polytheists, who were with us. We spoke to him and said to him: O Abū Jābir, you are a chief among our chiefs and a noble among our nobles, and we desire for you to be removed from what you are in, lest you become firewood for the Fire tomorrow. Then we called him to Islam and informed him of the Messenger of God's ﷺ appointment with us at al-ʿAqabah. He said: So he embraced Islam and witnessed al-ʿAqabah with us, and he was a naqīb. He said: So we slept that night with our people in our camps, until when a third of the night had passed, we went out from our camps to the appointed meeting with the Messenger of God ﷺ, slipping away stealthily like the slipping of the sandgrouse, concealing ourselves, until we assembled in the mountain pass at al-ʿAqabah. We were seventy-three men, and with us were two women of our women: Nusaybah bt. Kaʿb, Umm ʿUmārah, one of the women of Banū Māzin b. al-Najjār, and Asmāʾ bt. ʿAmr b. ʿAdī b. Nābī, one of the women of Banū Salimah, and she is Umm Manīʿ.
