[ ذَهَابُ ابْنِ وَرْقَاءَ إلَى الرَّسُولِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ شَاكِيًا وَتَعَرُّفُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَمْرَهُ ] ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا أُصِيبَ مِنْهُمْ وَبِمُظَاهَرَةِ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي بَكْرٍ عَلَيْهِمْ. ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا رَاجِعِينَ إلَى مَكَّةَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلنَّاسِ: كَأَنَّكُمْ بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ لِيَشُدَّ الْعَقْدَ وَيَزِيدَ فِي الْمُدَّةِ. وَمَضَى بُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى لَقُوا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ بِعُسْفَانَ، قَدْ بَعَثَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، لِيَشُدَّ الْعَقْدَ، وَيَزِيدَ فِي الْمُدَّةِ، وَقَدْ رَهِبُوا الَّذِي صَنَعُوا. فَلَمَّا لَقِيَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بُدَيْلِ بْنَ وَرْقَاءَ، قَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتُ يَا بُدَيْلُ وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: تَسَيَّرْتُ فِي خُزَاعَةَ فِي هَذَا السَّاحِلِ، وَفِي بَطْنِ هَذَا الْوَادِي، قَالَ: أَوَ مَا جِئْتُ مُحَمَّدًا ؟ قَالَ: لَا، فَلَمَّا رَاحَ بُدَيْلِ إلَى مَكَّةَ، قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: لَئِنْ جَاءَ بُدَيْلِ الْمَدِينَةَ لَقَدْ عَلَفَ بِهَا النَّوَى فَأَتَى مَبْرَكَ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَأَخَذَ مِنْ بَعْرِهَا فَفَتَّهُ، فَرَأَى فِيهِ النَّوَى. فَقَالَ: أَحْلِفُ بِاَللَّهِ لَقَدْ جَاءَ بُدَيْلِ مُحَمَّدًا
Translation
✧ [Departure of Ibn Warqāʾ to the Messenger in Madinah complaining, and Abū Sufyān's learning of his matter] Then Budayl b. Warqāʾ set out in a group of Khuzāʿah until they came to the Messenger of God ﷺ in Madinah. They informed him of what had befallen them and of Quraysh's backing of Banū Bakr against them. Then they departed, returning to Makkah. The Messenger of God ﷺ had said to the people: 'It is as if you see Abū Sufyān coming to you to strengthen the pact and extend the term.' Budayl b. Warqāʾ and his companions went on until they met Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb at ʿUsfān. Quraysh had sent him to the Messenger of God ﷺ to strengthen the pact and extend the term, for they feared what they had done. When Abū Sufyān met Budayl b. Warqāʾ, he said: 'From where have you come, O Budayl?' He thought that he had been to the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: 'I journeyed among Khuzāʿah along this coast and in the belly of this valley.' He said: 'Did you not come to Muḥammad?' He said: 'No.' When Budayl went on to Makkah, Abū Sufyān said: 'If Budayl has come to Madinah, then he has fed on date pits there.' He went to the kneeling place of his camel and took some of its dung and crumbled it, and he saw date pits in it. He said: 'I swear by God, Budayl has indeed come to Muḥammad.'
