Sirat Ibn Hisham 1497
The affair of the three who were left behind and the affair of those who offered excuses during the expedition of Tabūk
أَمْرُ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا وَأَمْرُ الْمُعَذِّرِينَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ [ نَهْيُ الرَّسُولِ عَنِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْمُخَلَّفِينَ ] وَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ رَهْطٌ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَتَخَلَّفَ أُولَئِكَ الرَّهْطُ الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ وَلَا نِفَاقٍ: كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَمُرَارَةُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، وَهِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: لَا تُكَلِّمُنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةِ، وَأَتَاهُ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَجَعَلُوا يَحْلِفُونَ لَهُ وَيَعْتَذِرُونَ، فَصَفَحَ عَنْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ يَعْذِرْهُمْ اللَّهُ وَلَا رَسُولُهُ. وَاعْتَزَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ كَلَامَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ الثَّلَاثَةِ.
Translation
✧ The affair of the three who were left behind and the affair of those who made excuses in the expedition of Tabūk [The Messenger's prohibition concerning the three left behind]. The Messenger of God ﷺ arrived in Madinah. A group of hypocrites had stayed behind from him, and those three men of the Muslims had stayed behind without any doubt or hypocrisy: Kaʿb b. Mālik, Murārah b. al-Rabīʿ, and Hilāl b. Umayyah. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to his companions: "Do not speak to any of these three." Those of the hypocrites who had stayed behind came to him and began swearing to him and offering excuses, and the Messenger of God ﷺ pardoned them, but God did not excuse them nor did His Messenger. The Muslims refrained from speaking to those three men.
