The Messenger's departure
[ تَجَنُّبُ الرَّسُولِ لِقَاءَ قُرَيْشٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: فَسَلَكَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقًا وَعْرًا أَجْرَلَ بَيْنَ شِعَابٍ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنْهُ، وَقَدْ شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَفْضَوْا إلَى أَرْضٍ سَهْلَةٍ عِنْدَ مُنْقَطِعِ الْوَادِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلنَّاسِ: قُولُوا نَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَنَتُوبُ إلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ إنَّهَا لَلْحِطَّةُ الَّتِي عُرِضَتْ عَلَى بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ. فَلَمْ يَقُولُوهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ: اُسْلُكُوا ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ الْحَمْشِ، فِي طَرِيقٍ ( تُخْرِجُهُ ) عَلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْمُرَارِ مَهْبِطِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ: فَسَلَكَ الْجَيْشُ ذَلِكَ الطَّرِيقَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ خَيْلُ قُرَيْشٍ قَتَرَةَ الْجَيْشِ قَدْ خَالَفُوا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِمْ، رَجَعُوا رَاكِضِينَ إلَى قُرَيْشٍ، وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إذَا سَلَكَ، فِي ثَنِيَّةِ الْمُرَارِ بَرَكَتْ نَاقَتُهُ، فَقَالَتْ النَّاسُ: خَلَأَتْ النَّاقَةُ، قَالَ: مَا خَلَأَتْ وَمَا هُوَ لَهَا بِخُلُقٍ، وَلَكِنْ حَبَسَهَا حَابِسُ الْفِيلِ عَنْ مَكَّةَ. لَا تَدْعُونِي قُرَيْشٌ الْيَوْمَ إلَى خُطَّةٍ يَسْأَلُونَنِي فِيهَا صِلَةَ الرَّحَمِ إلَّا أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إيَّاهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ: انْزِلُوا؛ قِيلَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: مَا بِالْوَادِي مَاءٌ نَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَخْرَجَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ. فَأَعْطَاهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَنَزَلَ بِهِ فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقُلُبِ. فَغَرَّزَهُ فِي جَوْفِهِ، فَجَاشَ بِالرَّوَّاءِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بِعَطَنٍ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's avoidance of meeting Quraysh] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr related to me that a man from Aslam said: I will, O Messenger of Allah. He said: So he led them along a rugged, stony route among mountain passes. When they emerged from it, and it had been hard on the Muslims, and they came out onto level ground at the end of the valley, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the people: Say, "We seek Allah's forgiveness and we turn to Him in repentance." So they said that. Then he said: By Allah, this is the very ḥiṭṭah that was offered to the Children of Israel, but they did not say it. Ibn Shihāb said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the people, saying: Take the route to the right between the two tracts of ḥamsh, on a road that will bring you out to the pass of al-Murār, the descent to al-Ḥudaybiyyah below Makkah. He said: So the army took that road. When the cavalry of Quraysh saw the dust of the army, that they had turned aside from their road, they went back racing to Quraysh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out until, when he took the pass of al-Murār, his she-camel knelt down. The people said: The she-camel has balked. He said: She has not balked, and that is not her nature; rather, the One who held back the elephant from Makkah has held her back. Today Quraysh will not invite me to any plan in which they ask me for the ties of kinship but that I will grant it to them. Then he said to the people: Dismount. It was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, there is no water in the valley for us to alight by. So he took out an arrow from his quiver and gave it to a man from his companions. He went down with it into one of those wells and planted it in its center, and it gushed with abundant water until the people drew from it to water their camels.
