The Messenger's departure in Ramadan and his appointment of Abū Ruhm as his deputy
[ خُرُوجُ الرَّسُولِ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَاسْتِخْلَافُهُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ فتح مكة ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِسَفَرِهِ، وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَبَا رُهْمٍ، كُلْثُومَ بْنَ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ، وَخَرَجَ لِعَشْرٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ. وَصَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ بِالْكُدَيْدِ، بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَأَمَجٍ أَفْطَرَ. [ نُزُولُهُمْ مَرَّ الظَّهْرَانِ وَتَجُسُّسُ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْبَارَ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى نَزَلَ مَرَّ الظَّهْرَانِ فِي عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَسَبَّعَتْ سُلَيْمٌ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ أَلَّفَتْ سُلَيْمٌ، وَأَلَّفَتْ مُزَيْنَةُ. وَفِي كُلِّ الْقَبَائِلِ عُدَدٌ وَإِسْلَامٌ، وَأَوْعَبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ، فَلَمْ يَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ الظَّهْرَانِ، وَقَدْ عُمِّيَتْ الْأَخْبَارُ عَنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ خَبَرٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَلَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ فَاعِلٌ، وَخَرَجَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَحَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ، وَبُدَيْلُ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ، يَتَحَسَّسُونَ الْأَخْبَارَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ هَلْ يَجِدُونَ خَبَرًا أَوْ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ كَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's departure in Ramaḍān and his appointment of Abū Ruhm as deputy — The conquest of Makkah] Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Muslim b. Shihāb al-Zuhrī related to me, from ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUtbah b. Masʿūd, from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās, who said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ went on his journey, and he appointed Abū Ruhm, Kulthūm b. Ḥuṣayn b. ʿUtbah b. Khalaf al-Ghifārī, as deputy over Madinah. He set out when ten nights of Ramaḍān had passed, and the Messenger of God ﷺ fasted, and the people fasted with him, until when he was at al-Kudayd, between ʿUsfān and Amaj, he broke the fast. [Their encampment at Marr al-Ẓahrān and Quraysh's seeking news of the Messenger] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then he went on until he encamped at Marr al-Ẓahrān with ten thousand of the Muslims. The Sulaym numbered seven hundred — and some say the Sulaym numbered one thousand — and the Muzaynah numbered one thousand. In all the tribes there were numbers and Islam. The Emigrants and the Anṣār went out in full with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and not one of them stayed behind from him. When the Messenger of God ﷺ encamped at Marr al-Ẓahrān, the news had been hidden from Quraysh, so no report about the Messenger of God ﷺ came to them, and they did not know what he was doing. During those nights Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb, Ḥakīm b. Ḥizām, and Budayl b. Warqāʾ went out to seek news and to see whether they could find any report or hear of it. Al-ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib had already met the Messenger of God ﷺ on part of the road.
