Sirat Ibn Hisham 1290
What befell a group of the oppressed after the reconciliation
[ قَتْلُ أَبِي بِصَيْرِ لِلْعَامِرِيِّ وَمَقَالَةُ الرَّسُولِ فِي ذَلِكَ ] فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمَا، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، جَلَسَ إلَى جِدَارٍ، وَجَلَسَ مَعَهُ صَاحِبَاهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ: أَصَارِمٌ سَيْفُكَ هَذَا يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَامِرٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ؛ قَالَ: أَنَظَرَ إلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ: اُنْظُرْ، إنْ شِئْتُ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَلَّهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ، ثُمَّ عَلَاهُ بِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ، وَخَرَجَ الْمَوْلَى سَرِيعًا حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَالِعًا، قَالَ: إنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَدْ رَأَى فَزِعًا؛ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ مَا لَكَ ؟ قَالَ: قَتَلَ صَاحِبُكُمْ صَاحِبِي. فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا بَرِحَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِالسَّيْفِ، حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَفَتْ ذِمَّتُكَ، وَأَدَّى اللَّهُ عَنْكَ، أَسْلَمْتنِي بِيَدِ الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ امْتَنَعْتُ بِدِينِي أَنْ أُفْتَنَ فِيهِ، أَوْ يُعْبَثَ بِي. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: وَيْلُ أُمِّهِ مِحَشَّ حَرْبٍ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ
Translation
✧ Abū Baṣīr’s killing of the ʿĀmirī and the Messenger’s statement concerning that. So he went off with the two of them until, when he was at Dhū al-Ḥulayfah, he sat down by a wall, and his two companions sat with him. Abū Baṣīr said: “Is this sword of yours sharp, O brother of the Banū ʿĀmir?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “May I look at it?” He said: “Look, if you wish.” He said: Then Abū Baṣīr unsheathed it, then struck him with it until he killed him. The mawlā went off quickly until he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the mosque. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him coming, he said: “This man has seen something frightening.” When he reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: “Woe to you! What is the matter with you?” He said: “Your companion has killed my companion.” By Allah, he had hardly finished when Abū Baṣīr appeared, girded with the sword, until he stood before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, your protection has been fulfilled, and Allah has discharged it on your behalf. You handed me over to the people, but I have defended myself by my religion lest I be tempted in it or trifled with.” He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Woe to his mother! A stoker of war, if only he had men with him.”
