Sirat Ibn Hisham 1273
The Messenger's departure
[ عُثْمَانُ رَسُولُ مُحَمَّدٍ إلَى قُرَيْشٍ ] ثُمَّ دَعَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ لِيَبْعَثَهُ إلَى مَكَّةَ، فَيُبَلِّغُ عَنْهُ أَشْرَافَ قُرَيْشٍ مَا جَاءَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنِّي أَخَافُ قُرَيْشًا عَلَى نَفْسِي، وَلَيْسَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَحَدٌ يَمْنَعُنِي، وَقَدْ عَرَفَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَدَاوَتِي إيَّاهَا، وَغِلْظَتِي عَلَيْهَا، وَلَكِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ أَعَزَّ بِهَا مِنِّي، عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ. فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، فَبَعَثَهُ إلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَشْرَافِ قُرَيْشٍ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِحَرْبِ، وَإِنَّهُ إنَّمَا جَاءَ زَائِرًا لِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ، وَمُعَظِّمًا لِحُرْمَتِهِ
Translation
✧ [ʿUthmān, the messenger of Muḥammad to Quraysh] Then he summoned ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb to send him to Makkah, that he might convey on his behalf to the nobles of Quraysh what he had come for. He said: O Messenger of Allah, I fear Quraysh for my own self, and there is no one in Makkah from the Banū ʿAdī b. Kaʿb to protect me. Quraysh have known my enmity toward them and my harshness against them, but I will guide you to a man who is mightier there than me: ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ summoned ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān and sent him to Abū Sufyān and the nobles of Quraysh, informing them that he had not come for war, and that he had only come as a visitor to this House, honoring its sanctity.
