Sirat Ibn Hisham 1244
al-Walīd b. ʿUqbah and Banū al-Muṣṭaliq, and what was revealed in the Qur'an concerning that
[ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَبَنُو الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ إسْلَامِهِمْ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا بِهِ رَكِبُوا إلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِهِمْ هَابَهُمْ، فَرَجَعَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ هَمُّوا بِقَتْلِهِ، وَمَنَعُوهُ مَا قِبَلَهُمْ مِنْ صَدْقِهِمْ، فَأَكْثَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي ذِكْرِ غَزْوِهِمْ، حَتَّى هَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَنْ يَغْزُوَهُمْ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُهُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، سَمِعْنَا بِرَسُولِكَ حِينَ بَعَثْتَهُ إلَيْنَا، فَخَرَجْنَا إلَيْهِ لِنُكْرِمَهُ، وَنُؤَدِّيَ إلَيْهِ مَا قِبَلَنَا مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَانْشَمَرَ رَاجِعًا، فَبَلَغْنَا أَنَّهُ زَعَمَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّا خَرَجْنَا إلَيْهِ لِنَقْتُلَهُ، وَوَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْنَا لِذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ وَفِيهِمْ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ يُطِيعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ إلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ ذَلِكَ، كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُ عَائِشَةُ فِي سَفَرِهِ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا
Translation
✧ Al-Walīd b. ʿUqbah and Banū al-Muṣṭaliq, and what was revealed in the Qurʾān concerning that. Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Rūmān narrated to me that after their conversion to Islam, the Messenger of God ﷺ sent al-Walīd b. ʿUqbah b. Abī Muʿayṭ to them. When they heard of him, they rode out to meet him. When he heard of them, he feared them and returned to the Messenger of God ﷺ, telling him that the people had intended to kill him and had withheld from him the alms (ṣadaqah) that they owed. The Muslims then spoke much about raiding them, until the Messenger of God ﷺ resolved to raid them. While matters stood thus, their delegation came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of God, we heard of your messenger when you sent him to us, and we went out to him to honor him and to deliver to him the alms we owed. But he turned back and departed, and we have learned that he claimed to the Messenger of God ﷺ that we went out to kill him. By God, we did not come for that.' Then God (Exalted is He) revealed concerning him and them: 'O you who believe, if a disobedient person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and then become regretful over what you have done. And know that among you is the Messenger of God; if he obeyed you in much of the matter, you would suffer hardship...' to the end of the verse. The Messenger of God ﷺ had returned from that journey, as narrated to me by someone I do not suspect, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah ؓ, until when he was near Madinah—and ʿĀʾishah was with him on that journey—the people of the slander said what they said.
