[ مَوْقِفُ الرَّسُولِ مِنْ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ وَتَوْبَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يوم قريظة ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَبَرُهُ، وَكَانَ قَدْ اَسْتَبْطَأَهُ، قَالَ: أَمَا إنَّهُ لَوْ جَاءَنِي لَاسْتَغْفَرْتُ لَهُ، فَأَمَّا إذْ قَدْ فَعَلَ مَا فَعَلَ فَمَا أَنَا بِاَلَّذِي أُطْلِقُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ: أَنَّ تَوْبَةَ أَبَى لُبَابَةَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ السَّحَرِ، وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ. ( فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ): فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ السَّحَرِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ؛ قَالَ: تِيبَ عَلَى أَبِي لُبَابَةَ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، إنْ شِئْتِ قَالَ: فَقَامَتْ عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِهَا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحِجَابُ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ، أَبْشِرْ فَقَدْ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ. قَالَتْ: فَثَارَ النَّاسُ إلَيْهِ لِيُطْلِقُوهُ فَقَالَ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ الَّذِي يُطْلِقُنِي بِيَدِهِ؛ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَارِجًا إلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ أَطْلَقَهُ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ learned of his news, and he had considered him slow, he said: “Indeed, if he had come to me, I would have sought forgiveness for him; but since he has done what he did, I am not the one to release him from his place until God turns to him in forgiveness.” Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Qusayṭ related to me that the repentance of Abū Lubābah came down upon the Messenger of God ﷺ at dawn, while he was in the house of Umm Salamah. Umm Salamah said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ at dawn while he was laughing. She said: I said, “What makes you laugh, O Messenger of God? May God make you smile.” He said, “Forgiveness has been granted to Abū Lubābah.” She said: I said, “Should I not give him the good news, O Messenger of God?” He said, “Yes, if you wish.” She said: She stood at the door of her chamber, and that was before the veil was imposed upon them, and said, “O Abū Lubābah, rejoice, for God has turned to you in forgiveness.” She said: The people rushed to him to release him, but he said, “No, by God, not until the Messenger of God ﷺ is the one who releases me with his own hand.” Then when the Messenger of God ﷺ passed by him going out to the dawn prayer, he released him.
