The Messenger's confirmation of b. Ṭalḥa in the custodianship of the Kaʿba
[ إقْرَارُ الرَّسُولِ ابْنَ طَلْحَةَ عَلَى السَّدَانَةِ ] ثُمَّ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ إلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَمِفْتَاحُ الْكَعْبَةِ فِي يَدِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اجْمَعْ لَنَا الْحِجَابَةَ مَعَ السِّقَايَةِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَيْنَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ؟ فَدُعِيَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: هَاكَ مِفْتَاحَكَ يَا عُثْمَانُ، الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ بِرٍّ وَوَفَاءٍ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَذَكَرَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ: إنَّمَا أُعْطِيكُمْ مَا تُرْزَءُونَ لَا مَا تَرْزَءُونَ [ أَمْرُ الرَّسُولِ بِطَمْسِ مَا بِالْبَيْتِ مِنْ صُوَرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ، فَرَأَى فِيهِ صُوَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، فَرَأَى إبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مُصَوَّرًا فِي يَدِهِ الْأَزْلَامُ يَسْتَقْسِمُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ: قَاتَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ، جَعَلُوا شَيْخَنَا يَسْتَقْسِمُ بِالْأَزْلَامِ، مَا شَأْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ وَالْأَزْلَامِ مَا كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَلَا نَصْرَانِيًّا وَلَكِنْ كَانَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِتِلْكَ الصُّوَرِ كُلِّهَا فَطُمِسَتْ
Translation
✧ The Messenger's confirming Ibn Ṭalḥah in the office of gatekeeping Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat in the mosque. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib came to him with the key of the Kaʿbah in his hand and said, "O Messenger of Allah, combine for us the office of gatekeeping with the office of providing water, may Allah bless you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Where is ʿUthmān b. Ṭalḥah?" He was summoned for him, and he said, "Here is your key, O ʿUthmān. Today is a day of piety and faithfulness." Ibn Hishām said: Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿAlī, "I give you only what you are charged with, not what you charge with." The Messenger's command to efface the images in the House Ibn Hishām said: Someone among the people of knowledge told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the House on the day of the conquest and saw in it images of angels and others. He saw Ibrāhīm ﷺ depicted with divining arrows in his hand, casting lots with them. He said, "May Allah fight them! They have made our elder casting lots with divining arrows. What has Ibrāhīm to do with divining arrows? Ibrāhīm was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a ḥanīf, a Muslim, and he was not of the polytheists." Then he commanded that all those images be effaced, and they were effaced.
