Sirat Ibn Hisham 1484
The Messenger's departure and his appointment of a deputy over Madinah
[ شَأْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ في غزوة تبوك ] وَخَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، عَلَى أَهْلِهِ، وَأَمَرَهُ بِالْإِقَامَةِ فِيهِمْ، فَأَرْجَفَ بِهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ، وَقَالُوا: مَا خَلَّفَهُ إلَّا اسْتِثْقَالًا لَهُ، وَتَخَفُّفًا مِنْهُ. فَلَمَّا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ، أَخَذَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ سِلَاحَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ بِالْجُرْفِ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، زَعَمَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ أَنَّكَ إنَّمَا خَلَّفَتْنِي أَنَّكَ اسْتَثْقَلْتنِي وَتَخَفَّفَتْ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ: كَذَبُوا، وَلَكِنَّنِي خَلَّفْتُكَ لِمَا تَرَكْتُ وَرَائِي، فَارْجِعْ فَاخْلُفْنِي فِي أَهْلِي وَأَهْلِكَ، أَفَلَا تَرْضَى يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى ؟ إلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي، فَرَجَعَ عَلَيَّ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ؛ وَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَفَرِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ عَنْ إبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدٍ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةَ
Translation
✧ The affair of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib in the expedition of Tabūk. And the Messenger of God ﷺ left behind ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, may God be pleased with him, over his family, and commanded him to remain among them. The hypocrites spread false rumors about him and said: He has only left him behind because he found him burdensome and sought to be rid of him. When the hypocrites said that, ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, may God be pleased with him, took up his weapon, then went out until he came to the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was encamped at al-Jurf. He said: O Prophet of God, the hypocrites claim that you have only left me behind because you found me burdensome and sought to be rid of me. He said: They have lied. But I left you behind for what I left behind me. So return and act as my deputy among my family and your family. Are you not pleased, O ʿAlī, to be to me in the position of Hārūn to Mūsā, except that there is no prophet after me? So ʿAlī returned to Madinah, and the Messenger of God ﷺ went on his journey. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Ṭalḥah b. Yazīd b. Rukānah related to me from Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ, from his father Saʿd, that he heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say this statement to ʿAlī.
