Sirat Ibn Hisham 1479
What was revealed concerning the people who discouraged others
[ تَحْرِيقُ بَيْتِ سُوَيْلِمٍ وَشِعْرُ الضَّحَّاكِ فِي ذَلِكَ في غزوة تبوك ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي الثِّقَةُ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ إسْحَاقَ بْنِ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي بَيْتِ سُوَيْلِمٍ الْيَهُودِيِّ، وَكَانَ بَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ جَاسُومَ، يُثَبِّطُونَ النَّاسَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، فَبَعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَيْتَ سُوَيْلِمٍ، فَفَعَلَ طَلْحَةُ. فَاقْتَحَمَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ مِنْ ظَهْرِ الْبَيْتِ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ رِجْلُهُ، وَاقْتَحَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ، فَأَفْلَتُوا. فَقَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ فِي ذَلِكَ: كَادَتْ وَبَيْتِ اللَّهِ نَارُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَشِيطُ بِهَا الضَّحَّاكُ وَابْنُ أُبَيْرِقِ وَظَلْتُ وَقَدْ طَبَّقْتُ كِبْسَ سُوَيْلِمٍ أَنَوْءُ عَلَى رِجْلِي كَسِيرًا وَمِرْفَقَى سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا أَعُودُ لِمِثْلِهَا أَخَافُ وَمَنْ تَشْمَلْ بِهِ النَّارُ يُحْرَقُ
Translation
✧ Account of the burning of the house of Suwaylim and al-Ḍaḥḥāk’s poem concerning that during the expedition to Tabūk: Ibn Hishām said: A trustworthy person narrated to me from someone who narrated to him, from Muḥammad b. Ṭalḥa b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥāritha, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ learned that some of the hypocrites were gathering in the house of Suwaylim the Jew, whose house was near Jāsum, discouraging the people from following the Messenger of God ﷺ in the expedition to Tabūk. The Prophet ﷺ sent Ṭalḥa b. ʿUbayd Allāh with a group of his companions against them, and ordered him to burn down the house of Suwaylim on them, and Ṭalḥa did so. Al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. Khalīfa jumped down from the back of the house and broke his leg, and his companions jumped down and escaped. Al-Ḍaḥḥāk said concerning that: By God’s House, the fire of Muḥammad nearly flared up with al-Ḍaḥḥāk and Ibn Ubayriq caught in it. And I remained, after I had made the dome of Suwaylim a covering, leaning on my broken leg and my elbow. Farewell to you; I shall not return to the like of it. I fear, and whoever the fire envelops is burned.
