ʿAḍal and al-Qārah asked for a party of Muslims to teach them
[ مَقْتَلُ خُبَيْبٍ وَحَدِيثُ دَعْوَتِهِ ] وَأَمَّا خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ عَنْ مَاوِيَّةَ، مَوْلَاةِ حُجَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي إهَابٍ، وَكَانَتْ قَدْ أَسْلَمَتْ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ خُبَيْبٌ عِنْدِي، حُبِسَ فِي بَيْتِي، فَلَقَدْ اطَّلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا، وَإِنَّ فِي يَدِهِ لَقِطْفًا مِنْ عِنَبٍ، مِثْلَ رَأْسِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ، وَمَا أَعْلَمُ فِي أَرْضِ اللَّهِ عِنَبًا يُؤْكَلُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ جَمِيعًا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ لِي حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْقَتْلُ: ابْعَثِي إلَيَّ بِحَدِيدَةٍ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا لِلْقَتْلِ؛ قَالَتْ: فَأَعْطَيْتُ غُلَامًا مِنْ الْحَيِّ الْمُوسَى، فَقُلْتُ: اُدْخُلْ بِهَا عَلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الْبَيْتَ؛ قَالَتْ: فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إلَّا أَنْ وَلَّى الْغُلَامُ بِهَا إلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ أَصَابَ وَاَللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ ثَأْرَهُ بِقَتْلِ هَذَا الْغُلَامِ، فَيَكُونُ رَجُلًا بِرَجُلِ؛ فَلَمَّا نَاوَلَهُ الْحَدِيدَةَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ يَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَعَمْرَكَ، مَا خَافَتْ أُمُّكَ غَدْرِي حِينَ بَعَثَتْكَ بِهَذِهِ الْحَدِيدَةِ إلَيَّ ثُمَّ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: إنَّ الْغُلَامَ ابْنُهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: قَالَ عَاصِمٌ: ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا بِخُبَيْبٍ، حَتَّى إذَا جَاءُوا بِهِ إلَى التَّنْعِيمِ لِيَصْلُبُوهُ، قَالَ لَهُمْ: إنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تَدَعُونِي حَتَّى أَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَافْعَلُوا؛ قَالُوا: دُونَكَ فَارْكَعْ. فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَتَمَّهُمَا وَأَحْسَنَهُمَا، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي إنَّمَا طَوَّلْتُ جَزَعًا مِنْ الْقَتْلِ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ: فَكَانَ خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ الْقَتْلِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَفَعُوهُ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ، فَلَمَّا أَوْثَقُوهُ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا قَدْ بَلَّغْنَا رِسَالَةَ رَسُولِكَ، فَبَلِّغْهُ الْغَدَاةَ مَا يُصْنَعُ بِنَا؛ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَحْصِهِمْ عَدَدًا، وَاقْتُلْهُمْ بَدَدًا، وَلَا تُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا. ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَكَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ: حَضَرْتُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِيمَنْ حَضَرَهُ مَعَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يُلْقِينِي إلَى الْأَرْضِ فَرْقًا مِنْ دَعْوَةِ خُبَيْبٍ، وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: إنَّ الرَّجُلَ إذَا دُعِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَاضْطَجَعَ لِجَنْبِهِ زَالَتْ عَنْهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: مَا أَنَا وَاَللَّهِ قَتَلْتُ خُبَيْبًا؛ لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ، أَخَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، أَخَذَ الْحَرْبَةَ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي يَدِي، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَبِالْحَرْبَةِ، ثُمَّ طَعَنَهُ بِهَا حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ اسْتَعْمَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ حِذْيَمٍ الْجُمَحِيَّ عَلَى بَعْضِ الشَّامِ، فَكَانَتْ تُصِيبُهُ غَشْيَةٌ، وَهُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ الْقَوْمِ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، وَقِيلَ: إنَّ الرَّجُلَ مُصَابٌ؛ فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ فِي قَدْمَةٍ قَدِمَهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا سَعِيدُ، مَا هَذَا الَّذِي يُصِيبُكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا بِي مِنْ بَأْسٍ، وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَضَرَ خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حِينَ قُتِلَ، وَسَمِعْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا خَطَرَتْ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَأَنَا فِي مَجْلِسٍ قَطُّ إلَّا غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ، فَزَادَتْهُ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ خَيْرًا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَقَامَ خُبَيْبٌ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ الْأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ، ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ

✧ [THE KILLING OF KHUBAYB AND THE STORY OF HIS SUPPLICATION] As for Khubayb b. ʿAdī, ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Najīḥ related to me that he was told on the authority of Māwiyyah, the freedwoman of Ḥujayr b. Abī Ihāb—and she had embraced Islam—she said: Khubayb was with me, imprisoned in my house. One day I looked upon him, and in his hand was a bunch of grapes like a man's head, from which he was eating; and I know of no grapes in God's land that could be eaten. Ibn Isḥāq said: And ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah and ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Najīḥ together related to me that she said: When the killing was at hand, he said to me: Send me a blade with which I may purify myself for the killing. She said: I gave a razor to a boy of the clan and said: Go in with it to this man in the house. She said: By God, no sooner had the boy turned away with it toward him than I said to myself: What have I done? By God, the man has taken his revenge by killing this boy, and it will be a man for a man. But when he handed him the blade, he took it from his hand and then said: By your life, your mother did not fear my treachery when she sent you with this blade to me. Then he let him go on his way. Ibn Hishām said: It is said that the boy was her son. Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim said: Then they brought Khubayb out, and when they had brought him to al-Tanʿīm to crucify him, he said to them: If you see fit to let me perform two rakʿahs, do so. They said: Go ahead and pray. So he performed two rakʿahs, completing them and making them excellent, then he turned to the people and said: By God, were it not that you would think I prolonged it out of fear of being killed, I would have prayed more. He said: Khubayb b. ʿAdī was the first to establish these two rakʿahs before being killed for the Muslims. He said: Then they raised him onto a piece of wood, and when they had bound him, he said: O God, we have conveyed the message of Your Messenger, so convey to him in the morning what is being done to us. Then he said: O God, count them one by one, and kill them scattered, and leave not one of them. Then they killed him, may God have mercy on him. Muʿāwiyah b. Abī Sufyān used to say: I was present that day among those present with Abū Sufyān, and I saw him throwing me to the ground out of fear of Khubayb's supplication; and they used to say that when a man was supplicated against, he would lie on his side and it would pass him by. Ibn Isḥāq said: Yaḥyā b. ʿAbbād b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr related to me, from his father ʿAbbād, from ʿUqbah b. al-Ḥārith, saying: I heard him say: By God, it was not I who killed Khubayb, for I was too young for that, but Abū Maysarah, a brother of the Banū ʿAbd al-Dār, took the spear and placed it in my hand, then took my hand and the spear, and thrust it into him until he killed him. Ibn Isḥāq said: And one of our companions related to me, saying: ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ had appointed Saʿīd b. ʿĀmir b. Ḥidhyam al-Jumaḥī over part of Syria, and he would be seized by a fainting spell while he was among the people. This was mentioned to ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, and it was said: The man is afflicted. So ʿUmar asked him when he came to him: O Saʿīd, what is this that afflicts you? He said: By God, O Commander of the Faithful, there is nothing wrong with me, but I was among those present when Khubayb b. ʿAdī was killed, and I heard his supplication. By God, it never crosses my mind while I am in a gathering but that I faint. This increased him in esteem with ʿUmar. Ibn Hishām said: Khubayb remained in their hands until the sacred months had passed, then they killed him.
