ʿAḍal and al-Qārah asked for a party of Muslims to teach them
[ مَقْتَلُ ابْنِ الدَّثِنَّةِ وَمَثَلٌ مِنْ وَفَائِهِ لِلرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَأَمَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ الدَّثِنَّةِ فَابْتَاعَهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِأَبِيهِ، أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ، وَبَعَثَ بِهِ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ مَعَ مَوْلًى لَهُ، يُقَالُ لَهُ نِسْطَاسُ، إلَى التَّنْعِيمِ، وَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ الْحَرَمِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ. وَاجْتَمَعَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فِيهِمْ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ حِينَ قَدِمَ لِيُقْتَلَ: أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا زَيْدُ، أَتُحِبُّ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عِنْدَنَا الْآنَ فِي مَكَانِكَ نَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ، وَأَنَّكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا الْآنَ فِي مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ تُصِيبُهُ شَوْكَةٌ تُؤْذِيهِ، وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي أَهْلِي. قَالَ: يَقُولُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ النَّاسِ أَحَدًا يُحِبُّ أَحَدًا كَحُبِّ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ مُحَمَّدًا؛ ثُمَّ قَتَلَهُ نِسْطَاسُ، يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ
Translation
✧ [The killing of Ibn al-Dathinna and an example of his loyalty to the Messenger] Ibn Ishaq said: As for Zayd b. al-Dathinna, Safwan b. Umayya purchased him to kill him in retribution for his father, Umayya b. Khalaf. Safwan b. Umayya sent him with a mawla of his called Nistas to al-Tanʿim, and they brought him out of the Haram to kill him. A group of Quraysh gathered, among them Abu Sufyan b. Harb. When he was brought forward to be killed, Abu Sufyan said to him: I adjure you by God, O Zayd, would you love that Muhammad were with us now in your place, and we strike his neck, while you are among your family? He said: By God, I would not love that Muhammad now were in the place where he is and a thorn should prick him to hurt him, while I were sitting among my family. He said: Abu Sufyan said: I have never seen among people anyone who loves anyone as the companions of Muhammad love Muhammad. Then Nistas killed him, may God have mercy on him.
