Sirat Ibn Hisham 1267
The Messenger's departure
[ بُدَيْلٌ وَرِجَالُ خُزَاعَةَ بَيْنَ الرَّسُولِ وَقُرَيْشٍ ] فَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَلَمَّا اطْمَأَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُ بُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، فِي رِجَالٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ، فَكَلَّمُوهُ وَسَأَلُوهُ: مَا الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِ يُرِيدُ حَرْبًا، وَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ زَائِرًا لِلْبَيْتِ، وَمُعَظِّمًا لِحُرْمَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ نَحْوًا مِمَّا قَالَ لِبِشْرِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، فَرَجَعُوا إلَى قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، إنَّكُمْ تَعْجَلُونَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، إنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَمْ يَأْتِ لِقِتَالِ، وَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ زَائِرًا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ، فَاتَّهَمُوهُمْ وَجَبَهُوهُمْ وَقَالُوا: وَإِنْ كَانَ جَاءَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ قِتَالًا، فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا عَلَيْنَا عَنْوَةً أَبَدًا، وَلَا تَحَدَّثَ بِذَلِكَ عَنَّا الْعَرَبُ. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: وَكَانَتْ خُزَاعَةُ عَيْبَةَ نُصْحِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، مُسْلِمُهَا وَمُشْرِكُهَا، لَا يُخْفُونَ عَنْهُ شَيْئًا كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ
Translation
✧ Budayl and men of Khuzāʿah between the Messenger and Quraysh Al-Zuhrī said in his ḥadīth: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt settled, Budayl b. Warqāʾ al-Khuzāʿī came to him with men from Khuzāʿah. They spoke with him and asked him what he had come for. He informed them that he had not come seeking war, but that he had come only as a visitor to the House, honoring its sanctity. Then he said to them something like what he had said to Bishr b. Sufyān. They returned to Quraysh and said, “O company of Quraysh, you are being hasty with Muḥammad. Muḥammad has not come to fight; he has come only as a visitor to this House.” But they accused them and rebuffed them, saying, “Even if he has come not seeking war, by Allah, he will never enter it over us by force, and the Arabs will never speak of that about us.” Al-Zuhrī said: Khuzāʿah was the repository of sincere counsel for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, both its Muslims and its polytheists; they did not conceal from him anything that happened in Makkah.
