What befell a group of the oppressed after the reconciliation
مَا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ قَوْمٍ مِنْ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بَعْدَ الصُّلْحِ [ مَجِيءُ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَطَلَبُ قُرَيْشٍ لَهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ أَتَاهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ حُبِسَ بِمَكَّةَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَتَبَ فِيهِ أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَوْفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ، وَالْأَخْنَسُ بْنُ شَرِيقِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ وَهْبٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَبَعَثَا رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَمَعَهُ مَوْلًى لَهُمْ، فَقَدِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِكِتَابِ الْأَزْهَرِ وَالْأَخْنَسِ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: يَا أَبَا بِصَيْرِ إنَّا قَدْ أَعْطَيْنَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، وَلَا يَصْلُحُ لَنَا فِي دِينِنَا الْغَدْرُ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَاعِلٌ لَكَ وَلِمَنْ مَعَكَ مِنْ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فَرْجًا وَمَخْرَجًا، فَانْطَلِقْ إلَى قَوْمِكَ؛ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتَرُدُّنِي إلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَفْتِنُونَنِي فِي دِينِي ؟ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا بِصَيْرِ، انْطَلِقْ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى سَيَجْعَلُ لَكَ وَلِمَنْ مَعَكَ مِنْ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فَرْجًا وَمَخْرَجًا
Translation
✧ What befell a group of the weak after the peace [The coming of Abū Baṣīr to Madinah and Quraysh's demand for him] Ibn Isḥāq said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah, Abū Baṣīr ʿUtbah b. Usayd b. Jāriyah came to him. He had been among those detained in Makkah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, Azhar b. ʿAbd ʿAwf b. ʿAbd b. al-Ḥārith b. Zuhrah and al-Akhnas b. Sharīq b. ʿAmr b. Wahb al-Thaqafī wrote to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning him, and they sent a man from Banū ʿĀmir b. Luʾayy, accompanied by a mawlā of theirs. The two came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the letter of al-Azhar and al-Akhnas. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O Abū Baṣīr, we have given these people what you know, and treachery is not proper for us in our religion. Allah will grant you and the weak ones with you a relief and a way out. So go to your people.” He said: “O Messenger of Allah, will you return me to the polytheists so they may tempt me away from my religion?” He said: “O Abū Baṣīr, go, for Allah, exalted is He, will grant you and the weak ones with you a relief and a way out.”
