Sirat Ibn Hisham 1111
[ غُوْرَثُ وَمَا هَمَّ بِهِ مِنْ قَتْلِ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: غُوْرَثُ، قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ مِنْ غَطَفَانَ وَمُحَارِبٍ: أَلَا أَقْتُلُ لَكُمْ مُحَمَّدًا ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، وَكَيْفَ تَقْتُلُهُ ؟ قَالَ: أَفْتِكُ بِهِ. قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، وَسَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حِجْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَنْظُرُ إلَى سَيْفِكَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ - وَكَانَ مُحَلًّى بِفِضَّةِ، فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ - قَالَ: فَأَخَذَهُ فَاسْتَلَّهُ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَهُزُّهُ، وَيَهُمُّ فَيَكْبِتُهُ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَمَا تَخَافَنِي ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَمَا أَخَافُ مِنْكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا تَخَافَنِي وَفِي يَدِي السَّيْفُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، يَمْنَعُنِي ( اللَّهُ ) مِنْكَ. ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إلَى سَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ: أَنَّهَا إنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي عَمْرِو بْنِ جِحَاشٍ، أَخِي بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَمَا هَمَّ بِهِ، فَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ
Translation
✧ [Ghawrath and what he intended of killing the Messenger] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAmr b. ʿUbayd narrated to me, from al-Ḥasan, from Jābir b. ʿAbd Allāh, that a man of Banū Muḥārib, called Ghawrath, said to his people of Ghaṭafān and Muḥārib: “Shall I not kill Muḥammad for you?” They said, “Yes, and how will you kill him?” He said, “I will assassinate him.” He said: So he came to the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was sitting, with the sword of the Messenger of God ﷺ in his lap, and said: “O Muḥammad, may I look at this sword of yours?” He said: “Yes.”—It was ornamented with silver, according to what Ibn Hishām said.—He said: So he took it and drew it, then he began to shake it and intend [to strike], but God restrained him. Then he said: “O Muḥammad, do you not fear me?” He said: “No, and what should I fear from you?” He said: “Do you not fear me when the sword is in my hand?” He said: “No, God protects me from you.” Then he turned to the sword of the Messenger of God ﷺ and returned it to him. He said: God revealed: “O you who believe, remember God's favour upon you when a people intended to stretch out their hands against you, but He restrained their hands from you. And fear God, and upon God let the believers rely” (Q 5:11). Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Rūmān narrated to me that it was revealed only concerning ʿAmr b. Jiḥāsh, the brother of Banū al-Naḍīr, and what he intended; but God knows best which of these it was.
