Sirat Ibn Hisham 1138
The fear that spread among the Muslims and the appearance of the hypocrites' hypocrisy
[ مَا عَمَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ الْخَوْفِ وَظُهُورُ نِفَاقِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يوم الخندق ] ( قَالَ ): وَعَظُمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ الْبَلَاءُ، وَاشْتَدَّ الْخَوْفُ، وَأَتَاهُمْ عَدُوُّهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُمْ، حَتَّى ظَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلَّ ظَنٍّ، وَنَجَمَ النِّفَاقُ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، حَتَّى قَالَ مُعَتِّبُ بْنُ قُشَيْرٍ، أَخُو بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ: كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعِدُنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ، وَأَحَدُنَا الْيَوْمَ لَا يَأْمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إلَى الْغَائِطِ. [ رَأْيُ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ فِي نِفَاقِ مُعَتِّبٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: أَنَّ مُعَتِّبَ بْنَ قُشَيْرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَاحْتَجَّ بِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَتَّى قَالَ أَوْسُ بْنُ قَيْظِيٍّ، أَحَدُ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ مِنْ الْعَدُوِّ، وَذَلِكَ عَنْ مَلَأٍ مِنْ رِجَالِ قَوْمِهِ، فَأْذَنْ لَنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَنَرْجِعَ إلَى دَارِنَا، فَإِنَّهَا خَارِجٌ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ بِضْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، قَرِيبًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ، لَمْ تَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمْ حَرْبٌ إلَّا الرَّمِّيا بِالنَّبْلِ وَالْحِصَارُ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ الرَّمْيَا
Translation
✧ He said: The affliction then grew severe, the fear intensified, and their enemy came upon them from above them and from below them, until the believers thought every thought, and hypocrisy emerged from some of the hypocrites. Muʿattib b. Qushayr, brother of the Banū ʿAmr b. ʿAwf, even said: “Muḥammad used to promise us that we would eat the treasures of Kisrā and Caesar, while one of us today does not feel safe for himself even to go to the privy.” Ibn Hishām said: One of the people of knowledge whom I trust informed me that Muʿattib b. Qushayr was not among the hypocrites, arguing that he was one of the people of Badr. Ibn Isḥāq said: Aws b. Qayẓī, one of the Banū Ḥārithah b. al-Ḥārith, even said, on behalf of a group of men of his people: “O Messenger of God, our houses are exposed to the enemy, so permit us to leave and return to our dwellings, for they are outside Madinah.” The Messenger of God ﷺ remained, and the polytheists remained besieging him for over twenty nights, nearly a month, with no fighting between them except the shooting of arrows and the siege. Ibn Hishām said: It is also said: “the shooting.”
