Sirat Ibn Hisham 1239
Jahjāh and Sinān, and what happened with b. Ubayy
[ طَلَبُ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ أَنْ يَتَوَلَّى هُوَ قَتْلَ أَبِيهِ وَعَفْوَ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ: أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ قَتْلَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ فِيمَا بَلَغَكَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا فَمُرْنِي بِهِ، فَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ إلَيْكَ رَأْسَهُ، فَوَاَللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتْ الْخَزْرَجُ مَا كَانَ لَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَبَرَّ بِوَالِدِهِ مِنِّي، وَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِهِ غَيْرِي فَيَقْتُلَهُ، فَلَا تَدَعُنِي نَفْسِي أَنْظُرُ إلَى قَاتِلِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ يَمْشِي فِي النَّاسِ، فَأَقْتُلَهُ فَأَقْتُلَ ( رَجُلًا ) مُؤْمِنًا بِكَافِرِ، فَأَدْخُلَ النَّارَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: بَلْ نَتَرَفَّقُ بِهِ، وَنُحْسِنُ صُحْبَتَهُ مَا بَقِيَ مَعَنَا
Translation
✧ The request of Ibn ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy to undertake the killing of his father himself, and the Messenger's pardon Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah related to me that ʿAbd Allāh came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: O Messenger of God, it has reached me that you intend to kill ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy because of what has reached you about him. If you must do it, then command me, and I will bring you his head. By God, the Khazraj know that there was no man among them more dutiful to his father than I. I fear that you will command someone else to kill him, and then my soul will not allow me to look upon the killer of ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy walking among the people without my killing him—killing a believer for a disbeliever—and thereby entering the Fire. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Rather we will treat him gently and keep good company with him as long as he remains with us.
