Sirat Ibn Hisham 1258
The revelation of the Qurʾān declaring ʿĀʾishah's innocence
[ هَمُّ ابْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ بِقَتْلِ حَسَّانَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ اعْتَرَضَ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ بِالسَّيْفِ، حِينَ بَلَغَهُ مَا كَانَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ، وَقَدْ كَانَ حَسَّانُ قَالَ شِعْرًا مَعَ ذَلِكَ يُعَرِّضُ بِابْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ فِيهِ، وَبِمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ مِنْ مُضَرَ، فَقَالَ: أَمْسَى الْجَلَابِيبُ قَدْ عَزُّوا وَقَدْ كَثُرُوا وَابْنُ الْفُرَيْعَةَ أَمْسَى بَيْضَةَ الْبَلَدِ قَدْ ثَكِلَتْ أُمُّهُ مَنْ كُنْتَ صَاحِبَهُ أَوْ كَانَ مُنْتَشِبًا فِي بُرْثُنِ الْأَسَدِ مَا لِقَتِيلِي الَّذِي أَغْدُو فَآخُذُهُ مِنْ دِيَةٍ فِيهِ يُعْطَاهَا وَلَا قَوَدِ مَا الْبَحْرُ حِينَ تَهُبُّ الرِّيحُ شَامِيَّةً فَيَغْطَئِلُ وَيَرْمِي الْعِبْرَ بِالزَّبَدِ يَوْمًا بِأَغْلَبَ مِنِّي حِينَ تُبْصِرُنِي مِلْغَيِظٍ أَفْرِي كَفَرْيِ الْعَارِضِ الْبَرِدِ أُمَّا قُرَيْشٌ فَإِنِّي لَنْ أُسَالِمَهُمْ حَتَّى يُنِيبُوا مِنْ الْغِيَّاتِ لِلرُّشْدِ وَيَتْرُكُوا اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى بِمَعْزِلَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُوا كُلُّهُمْ لِلْوَاحِدِ الصَّمَدِ وَيَشْهَدُوا أَنَّ مَا قَالَ الرَّسُولُ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ وَيُوفُوا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَالْوُكُدِ فَاعْتَرَضَهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ: تَلَقَّ ذُبَابُ السَّيْفِ عَنِّي فَإِنَّنِي غُلَامٌ إذَا هُوجِيتُ لَسْتُ بِشَاعِرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ: أَنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ وَثَبَ عَلَى صَفْوَانَ بْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ، حِينَ ضَرَبَ حَسَّانَ، فَجَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ إلَى عُنُقِهِ بِحَبْلِ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِهِ إلَى دَارِ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ؛ فَلَقِيَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا أَعْجَبَكَ ضَرْبُ حَسَّانَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَرَاهُ إلَّا قَدْ قَتَلَهُ، قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ: هَلْ عَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءِ مِمَّا صَنَعْتُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ اجْتَرَأْتُ، أَطْلِقْ الرَّجُلَ، فَأَطْلَقَهُ. ثُمَّ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَدَعَا حَسَّانَ وَصَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: آذَانِي وَهَجَانِي، فَاحْتَمَلَنِي الْغَضَبُ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحَسَّانَ: أَحْسِنْ يَا حَسَّانُ، أَتَشَوَّهْتَ عَلَى قَوْمِي أَنْ هَدَاهُمْ اللَّهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَحْسِنْ يَا حَسَّانُ فِي الَّذِي أَصَابَكَ قَالَ: هِيَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: أَبَعْدَ أَنْ هُدَاكُمْ اللَّهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ عِوَضًا مِنْهَا بَيْرُحَاءَ، وَهِيَ قَصْرُ بَنِي حُدَيْلَةَ الْيَوْمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَتْ مَالًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ تَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عَلَى آلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَسَّانَ فِي ضَرْبَتِهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ سِيرِينَ، أَمَةً قِبْطِيَّةً، فَوَلَدَتْ لِي عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ حَسَّانَ، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ: لَقَدْ سُئِلَ عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ، فَوَجَدُوهُ رَجُلًا حَصُورًا، مَا يَأْتِي النِّسَاءَ، ثُمَّ قُتِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَهِيدًا

✧ [ The concern of Ibn al-Muʿaṭṭal to kill Ḥassān ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal confronted Ḥassān b. Thābit with the sword when word reached him of what he had been saying about him. Ḥassān had, along with that, recited poetry in which he alluded to Ibn al-Muʿaṭṭal and to those of the Arabs of Muḍar who had become Muslims. He said: The cloaked ones have grown mighty and numerous, while Ibn al-Furayʿah has become the town's byword. His mother is bereaved of the one you accompanied, or who was clinging to the lion's paw. What of my slain one, whom I set out for and seize— no blood-money for him will be given, nor retaliation. The sea, when the north wind blows, surges and casts the ships with foam— is not one day more overwhelming than I, when you see me in fury, tearing like the rending of a cold cloud. As for Quraysh, I will never make peace with them until they turn back from errors to right guidance, and leave al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā in a place apart, and all prostrate to the One, the Eternal, and bear witness that what the Messenger told them is true, and fulfill God's covenant and the binding oaths. Then Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal confronted him and struck him with the sword, then said—as Yaʿqūb b. ʿUtbah narrated to me: Receive the sword's edge from me, for I am a lad who, when satirized, is no poet. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥārith al-Taymī narrated to me that Thābit b. Qays b. al-Shammās leaped upon Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal when he struck Ḥassān, and bound his hands to his neck with a rope, then took him to the abode of the Banū al-Ḥārith b. al-Khazraj. ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah met him and said, "What is this?" He said, "Does it not amaze you that he struck Ḥassān with the sword? By God, I think he has killed him." ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah said to him, "Does the Messenger of God ﷺ know anything of what you have done?" He said, "No, by God." He said, "You have been bold. Release the man." So he released him. Then they came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He summoned Ḥassān and Ṣafwān b. al-Muʿaṭṭal. Ibn al-Muʿaṭṭal said, "O Messenger of God, he harmed me and satirized me, so anger overcame me and I struck him." The Messenger of God ﷺ said to Ḥassān, "Do good, O Ḥassān. Have you become disfigured against my people after God guided them to Islam?" Then he said, "Do good, O Ḥassān, concerning what has befallen you." He said, "It is yours, O Messenger of God." Ibn Hishām said: It is also said: "Abʿda an hudākum Allāh lil-islām"—"Even after God guided you to Islam?" Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm narrated to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ gave him, as compensation for it, Bayruḥāʾ—which is the palace of the Banū Ḥudaylah today in Madinah. It had been property of Abū Ṭalḥah b. Sahl, who gave it as charity to the family of the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ gave it to Ḥassān in return for the blow, and gave him Sīrīn, a Coptic slave woman, who bore him ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ḥassān. She said: ʿĀʾishah used to say: Ibn al-Muʿaṭṭal was asked about, and they found him to be a man who was impotent, not approaching women. Then he was killed after that as a martyr.
