Khālid's excuse for fighting the people
[ مَعْذِرَةُ خَالِدٍ فِي قِتَالِ الْقَوْمِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ يَعْذِرُ خَالِدًا إنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا قَاتَلْتُ حَتَّى أَمَرَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيُّ، وَقَالَ: إنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَهُمْ لِامْتِنَاعِهِمْ مِنْ الْإِسْلَامِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَالَ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْمَدَنِيُّ: لَمَّا أَتَاهُمْ خَالِدٌ، قَالُوا: صَبَأْنَا صَبَأْنَا [ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَ خَالِدٍ وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَزَجْرُ الرَّسُولِ لِخَالِدِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ جَحْدَمٌ قَالَ لَهُمْ حِينَ وَضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ وَرَأَى مَا يَصْنَعُ خَالِدٌ بِبَنِي جَذِيمَةَ: يَا بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ، ضَاعَ الضَّرْبُ، قَدْ كُنْتُ حَذَّرْتُكُمْ مَا وَقَعْتُمْ فِيهِ قَدْ كَانَ بَيْنَ خَالِدٍ وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي، كَلَامٌ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: عَمِلْتُ بِأَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ. فَقَالَ: إنَّمَا ثَأَرْتُ بِأَبِيكَ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: كَذَبْتُ، قَدْ قَتَلْتُ قَاتِلَ أَبِي، وَلَكِنَّكَ ثَأَرْتَ بِعَمِّكَ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَتَّى كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا شَرٌّ. فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَهْلًا يَا خَالِدُ، دَعْ عَنْكَ أَصْحَابِي، فَوَاَللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ أُحُدٌ ذَهَبًا ثُمَّ أَنْفَقْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا أَدْرَكَتْ غَدْوَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي وَلَا رَوْحَتَهُ
Translation
✧ [Khālid's excuse for fighting the people] Ibn Isḥāq said: Some of those who excuse Khālid said that he said: I did not fight until ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥudhāfah al-Sahmī ordered me to do so, and he said: The Messenger of God ﷺ has ordered you to fight them because of their refusal of Islam. Ibn Hishām said: Abū ʿAmr al-Madanī said: When Khālid came to them, they said: We have become Sabaeans, we have become Sabaeans. [What occurred between Khālid and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and the Messenger's rebuke of Khālid] Ibn Isḥāq said: Jaḥdam had said to them when they laid down their weapons and saw what Khālid was doing to Banū Jadhīmah: O Banū Jadhīmah, the striking is lost; I had warned you of what you have fallen into. There occurred between Khālid and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, as I have been informed, some words about that. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf said to him: You have acted according to the affair of the Age of Ignorance in Islam. He said: I only sought vengeance for your father. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: You have lied; I killed the killer of my father, but you sought vengeance for your uncle al-Fākih b. al-Mughīrah, so that there was evil between them. That reached the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: Gently, O Khālid, leave my companions alone. For by God, if you had gold equal to Uhud and you spent it in the way of God, you would not attain the morning journey of a man from among my companions nor his evening journey.
