Sirat Ibn Hisham 1524
The submission of the Arabs and their acceptance of Islam
[ انْقِيَادُ الْعَرَبِ وَإِسْلَامُهُمْ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَإِنَّمَا كَانَتْ الْعَرَبُ تَرَبَّصَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ أَمْرَ هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا كَانُوا إمَامَ النَّاسِ وَهَادِيَهُمْ، وَأَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ، وَصَرِيحَ وَلَدِ إسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ، وَقَادَةَ الْعَرَبِ لَا يُنْكِرُونَ ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ هِيَ الَّتِي نَصَبَتْ لِحَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَخِلَافَهُ، فَلَمَّا اُفْتُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ، وَدَانَتْ لَهُ قُرَيْشٌ، وَدَوَّخَهَا الْإِسْلَامُ، وَعَرَفَتْ الْعَرَبُ أَنَّهُ لَا طَاقَةَ لَهُمْ بِحَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا عَدَاوَتِهِ، فَدَخَلُوا فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ. كَمَا قَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، أَفْوَاجًا، يَضْرِبُونَ إلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ، يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ: إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا أَيْ فَاحْمَدْ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا أَظْهَرَ مِنْ دِينِكَ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا
Translation
✧ [The Arabs' submission and their islam] Ibn Ishaq said: The Arabs were only waiting concerning Islam for the affair of this tribe of Quraysh and the affair of the Messenger of God ﷺ. That is because Quraysh were the imam of the people and their guide, the people of the sacred house, and the pure offspring of Ishmael son of Abraham (peace be upon them both), and the leaders of the Arabs; they did not deny that. It was Quraysh who set themselves to war against the Messenger of God ﷺ and to oppose him. When Makkah was conquered, and Quraysh submitted to him, and Islam subdued them, and the Arabs knew that they had no strength to war against the Messenger of God ﷺ or to oppose him, they entered the religion of God, as He, Mighty and Majestic, said, in throngs, striking toward him from every direction. God Most High says to His Prophet ﷺ: "When God's help comes, and the victory, and you see the people entering God's religion in throngs, then glorify your Lord with praise and seek His forgiveness; surely He is ever relenting" (Qur'an 110:1-3), meaning: praise God for what He has made manifest of your religion, and seek His forgiveness; surely He is ever relenting.
