The killing of Banū Qurayẓa
[ شَأْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ بَاطَا يوم قريظة ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ، كَمَا ذَكَرَ لِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَتَى الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ بَاطَا الْقُرَظِيُّ، وَكَانَ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - وَكَانَ الزُّبَيْرُ قَدْ مَنَّ عَلَى ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. ذَكَرَ لِي بَعْضُ وَلَدِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ بُعَاثٍ، أَخَذَهُ فَجَزَّ نَاصِيَتَهُ، ثُمَّ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ - فَجَاءَهُ ثَابِتٌ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، هَلْ تَعْرِفُنِي ؟ قَالَ: وَهَلْ يَجْهَلُ مِثْلِي مِثْلَكَ؛ قَالَ: إنِّي قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَكَ بِيَدِكَ عِنْدِي؛ قَالَ: إنَّ الْكَرِيمَ يَجْزِي الْكَرِيمَ. ثُمَّ أَتَى ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لِلزُّبَيْرِ عَلَيَّ مِنَّةٌ، وَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَهُ بِهَا، فَهَبْ لِي دَمَهُ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: هُوَ لَكَ؛ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: إنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ وَهَبَ لِي دَمَكَ، فَهُوَ لَكَ، قَالَ: شَيْخُ كَبِيرٌ لَا أَهْلَ لَهُ وَلَا وَلَدٌ، فَمَا يَصْنَعُ بِالْحَيَاةِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَى ثَابِتٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَبْ لِي امْرَأَتَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، قَالَ: هُمْ لَكَ. قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: قَدْ وَهَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَكَ وَوَلَدَكَ، فَهُمْ لَكَ؛ قَالَ: أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ بِالْحِجَازِ لَا مَالَ لَهُمْ، فَمَا بَقَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ فَأَتَى ثَابِتٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَالَهُ، قَالَ: هُوَ لَكَ. فَأَتَاهُ ثَابِتٌ فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَالَكَ، فَهُوَ لَكَ قَالَ: أَيْ ثَابِتٌ، مَا فَعَلَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ مِرْآةٌ صِينِيَّةٌ يَتَرَاءَى فِيهَا عَذَارَى الْحَيِّ، كَعْبُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ سَيِّدُ الْحَاضِرِ وَالْبَادِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ مُقَدِّمَتُنَا إذَا شَدَدْنَا، وَحَامِيَتُنَا إذَا فَرَرْنَا، عَزَّالُ بْنُ سَمَوْأَلَ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ؛ قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ الْمُجْلِسَانِ ؟ يَعْنِي بَنِي كَعْبِ بْنِ قُرَيْظَةَ وَبَنِيَّ عَمْرِو بْنِ قُرَيْظَةَ؛ قَالَ: ذَهَبُوا قُتِلُوا ؟ قَالَ: فَأَنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا ثَابِتُ بِيَدِي عِنْدَكَ إلَّا أَلْحَقْتنِي بِالْقَوْمِ، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا فِي الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ خَيْرٍ، فَمَا أَنَا بِصَابِرِ لِلَّهِ فَتْلَةَ دَلْوٍ نَاضِحٍ حَتَّى أَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّةَ. فَقَدَّمَهُ ثَابِتٌ، فَضُرِبَ عُنُقُهُ. فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَوْلَهُ أَلْقَى الْأَحِبَّةَ. قَالَ: يَلْقَاهُمْ وَاَللَّهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا فِيهَا مُخَلَّدًا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قِبْلَةَ دَلْوٍ نَاضِحٍ. ( و ) قَالَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلْمَى فِي قِبْلَةٍ: وَقَابِلٍ يَتَغَنَّى كُلَّمَا قَدَرَتْ عَلَى الْعَرَاقَى يَدَاهُ قَائِمًا دَفَقَاهُ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى: وَقَابِلٌ يُتَلَقَّى، يَعْنِي قَابِلَ الدَّلْوِ يَتَنَاوَلُ
Translation
✧ [The affair of al-Zubayr b. Bāṭā on the day of Qurayẓah] Ibn Isḥāq said: Thābit b. Qays b. al-Shammās, as Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī mentioned to me, went to al-Zubayr b. Bāṭā al-Quraẓī, who was given the kunyah Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. Al-Zubayr had previously shown favour to Thābit b. Qays b. Shammās in the Jāhiliyyah. Some of al-Zubayr's descendants mentioned to me that he had shown him favour on the day of Buʿāth: he captured him, cut off his forelock, then let him go. Thābit came to him while he was a very old man, and said, 'O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, do you recognise me?' He replied, 'Would one like me be ignorant of one like you?' He said, 'I wanted to repay you for the favour you did me.' He replied, 'The noble repays the noble.' Then Thābit b. Qays went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, al-Zubayr once showed me a favour, and I would like to repay him for it, so grant me his blood.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'He is yours.' So he went to him and said, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ has granted me your blood, so you are free.' He said, 'An old man with no family and no children—what use has he for life?' He said: Then Thābit went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, 'May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of God, grant me his wife and children.' He said, 'They are yours.' He said: So he went to him and said, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ has granted me your family and children, so they are yours.' He said, 'A household in the Ḥijāz with no wealth—how will they survive on that?' So Thābit went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, his wealth?' He said, 'It is yours.' So Thābit went to him and said, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ has given me your wealth, so it is yours.' He said, 'O Thābit, what happened to the one whose face was like a Chinese mirror in which the maidens of the tribe could see themselves—Kaʿb b. Asad?' He said, 'He was killed.' He said, 'And what happened to the lord of the settled and the nomad, Ḥuyayy b. Akhṭab?' He said, 'He was killed.' He said, 'And what happened to our vanguard when we attacked, and our protector when we fled—ʿAzzāl b. Samawʾal?' He said, 'He was killed.' He said, 'And what happened to the two assemblies?'—meaning the Banū Kaʿb b. Qurayẓah and the Banū ʿAmr b. Qurayẓah. He said, 'They went and were killed.' He said, 'Then I ask you, O Thābit, by the favour I have with you, to join me with the people. For by God, there is no good in life after these ones. I cannot bear for God even the twisting of a well-bucket rope until I meet the beloved ones.' So Thābit brought him forward and his neck was struck. When Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq heard his saying, 'until I meet the beloved ones,' he said, 'By God, he will meet them in the fire of Hell, remaining in it forever.' Ibn Hishām said: Qiblata dalwin nāḍiḥin. (And) Zuhayr b. Abī Sulmā said concerning qiblah: 'And a bucket-handler who sings whenever his hands grasp the 'irāqī ropes, standing, pouring it out'—and this verse is in an ode of his. Ibn Hishām said: It is also narrated as 'wa qābilun yutalaqqā,' meaning the one who receives the bucket takes it.
