The Messenger's anger at what Khālid had done and his sending of ʿAlī
[ غَضَبُ الرَّسُولِ مِمَّا فَعَلَ خَالِدٌ وَإِرْسَالُهُ عَلِيًّا ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ عَنْ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَحْمُودِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي لَقِمْتُ لُقْمَةً مِنْ حَيْسٍ فَالْتَذَذْتُ طَعْمَهَا، فَاعْتَرَضَ فِي حَلْقِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ حِينَ ابْتَلَعْتهَا، فَأَدْخَلَ عَلِيٌّ يَدَهُ فَنَزَعَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، هَذِهِ سَرِيَّةٌ مِنْ سَرَايَاكَ تَبْعَثُهَا، فَيَأْتِيكَ مِنْهَا بَعْضُ مَا تُحِبُّ، وَيَكُونُ فِي بَعْضِهَا اعْتِرَاضٌ، فَتَبْعَثُ عَلِيًّا فَيُسَهِّلُهُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ انْفَلَتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: هَلْ أَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَدْ أَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَبْيَضُ رَبْعَةٌ، فَنَهَمَهُ خَالِدٌ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ وَأَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ طَوِيلٌ مُضْطَرِبٌ، فَرَاجَعَهُ، فَاشْتَدَّتْ مُرَاجَعَتُهُمَا؛ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: أَمَّا الْأَوَّلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَابْنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَسَالِمٌ، مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، اُخْرُجْ إلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ، فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِهِمْ، وَاجْعَلْ أَمْرَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْكَ. فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ حَتَّى جَاءَهُمْ وَمَعَهُ مَالٌ قَدْ بَعَثَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَدَى لَهُمْ الدِّمَاءَ وَمَا أُصِيبَ لَهُمْ مِنْ الْأَمْوَالِ حَتَّى إنَّهُ لَيَدِي لَهُمْ مِيلَغَةَ الْكَلْبِ، حَتَّى إذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ دَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ إلَّا وَدَاهُ، بَقِيَتْ مَعَهُ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ الْمَالِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْهُمْ: هَلْ بَقِيَ لَكُمْ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ أَوْ مَالٍ لَمْ يُودَ لَكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُعْطِيكُمْ هَذِهِ الْبَقِيَّةَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ، احْتِيَاطًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، مِمَّا يَعْلَمُ وَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ، فَفَعَلَ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ: فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُ وَأَحْسَنْتُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ قَائِمًا شَاهِرًا يَدَيْهِ، حَتَّى إنَّهُ لَيُرَى مِمَّا تَحْتَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَبْرَأُ إلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتُ
Translation
✧ Ibn Hishām said: A certain learned man related to me, on the authority of Ibrāhīm b. Jaʿfar al-Maḥmūdī, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I saw as though I had taken a morsel of ḥays and enjoyed its taste, but something of it stuck in my throat when I swallowed it, so ʿAlī put in his hand and removed it." Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ؓ said: "O Messenger of God ﷺ, this is one of your expeditions which you send out, from which comes some of what you love, but in part of it there is an obstruction; so you send ʿAlī, and he makes it easy." Ibn Hishām said: And he related to me that a man from the people escaped and came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and informed him of the news. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Did anyone object to him?" He said: "Yes, a white man of medium height objected to him, but Khālid rebuked him and he fell silent. And another man, tall and restless, objected and argued back, and their dispute became intense." ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: "The first, O Messenger of God ﷺ, is my son ʿAbdullāh, and the other is Sālim, the freedman of Abū Ḥudhayfah." Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥakīm b. Ḥakīm related to me, on the authority of Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. ʿAlī, who said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ summoned ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, may God be pleased with him, and said: "O ʿAlī, go out to these people and look into their affair, and put the affair of the Age of Ignorance beneath your feet." So ʿAlī went out until he came to them, with him wealth which the Messenger of God ﷺ had sent. He paid them the blood-money for the slain and for what property of theirs had been taken, until he even paid them for the dog's drinking bowl. When nothing of blood or property remained but had been compensated, there remained with him a remainder of the wealth. ʿAlī, may God be pleased with him, said to them when he had finished with them: "Is there any remainder of blood or property of yours that has not been compensated?" They said: "No." He said: "Then I give you this remainder of this wealth as a precaution for the Messenger of God ﷺ, for what he knows and you do not know." And he did so. Then he returned to the Messenger of God ﷺ and informed him of the news. He said: "You have done right and done well." He said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ stood up, facing the qiblah, standing with his hands raised, so that the whiteness under his shoulders could be seen, saying: "O God, I declare myself innocent before You of what Khālid b. al-Walīd has done," three times.
