The arrival of al-Jārūd in the delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays
[ قُدُومُ الْجَارُودِ فِي وَفْدِ عَبْدِ الْقِيسِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْجَارُودُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَنْشٍ أَخُو عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْجَارُودُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى فِي وَفْدِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ وَكَانَ نَصْرَانِيًّا. [ ضَمَانُ الرَّسُولِ دِينَهُ وَإِسْلَامُهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا انْتَهَى إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَلَّمَهُ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ، وَدَعَاهُ إلَيْهِ، وَرَغَّبَهُ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ عَلَى دِينٍ، وَإِنِّي تَارِكٌ دِينِي لِدِينِكَ، أَفَتَضْمَنُ لِي دَيْنِي ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: نَعَمْ، أَنَا ضَامِنٌ أَنْ قَدْ هَدَاكَ اللَّهُ إلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ. قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمَ وَأَسْلَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحُمْلَانَ، فَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ بِلَادِنَا ضَوَالُّ مِنْ ضَوَالِّ النَّاسِ: أَفَنَتَبَلَّغُ عَلَيْهَا إلَى بِلَادِنَا ؟ قَالَ: لَا، إيَّاكَ وَإِيَّاهَا، فَإِنَّمَا تِلْكَ حَرَقُ النَّارِ. [ مَوْقِفُهُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فِي الرِّدَّةِ ] فَخَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ الْجَارُودُ رَاجِعًا إلَى قَوْمِهِ، وَكَانَ حَسَنَ الْإِسْلَامِ، صُلْبًا عَلَى دِينِهِ، حَتَّى هَلَكَ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الرِّدَّةَ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مَنْ كَانَ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ إلَى دِينِهِمْ الْأَوَّلِ مَعَ الْغَرُورِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَامَ الْجَارُودُ فَتَكَلَّمَ، فَتَشَهَّدَ شَهَادَةَ الْحَقِّ، وَدَعَا إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَأُكَفِّرُ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُرْوَى: وَأَكْفِي مَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ
Translation
✧ [The arrival of al-Jārūd in the delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays] Ibn Isḥāq said: Al-Jārūd b. ʿAmr b. Ḥansh, the brother of ʿAbd al-Qays, came to the Messenger of God ﷺ. Ibn Hishām said: Al-Jārūd b. Bishr b. al-Muʿallā, in the delegation of ʿAbd al-Qays, and he was a Christian. [The Messenger’s guarantee of his religion and his Islam] Ibn Isḥāq said: One whom I do not suspect narrated to me, from al-Ḥasan, who said: When he came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, he spoke with him, and the Messenger of God ﷺ presented Islam to him, called him to it, and made it desirable to him. He said: “O Muḥammad, I have been upon a religion, and I am leaving my religion for your religion; will you guarantee my religion for me?” He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Yes, I guarantee that God has guided you to what is better than it.” He said: So he became a Muslim, and his companions became Muslims. Then he asked the Messenger of God ﷺ for mounts. He said: “By God, I have nothing to mount you upon.” He said: “O Messenger of God, there are stray camels of the people between us and our land; may we make use of them to reach our land?” He said: “No, beware of them, for they are only the burning of the Fire.” [His stance with his people during the riddah] Then al-Jārūd left him, returning to his people. He was good in his Islam, firm upon his religion, until he died; and he lived to see the riddah. When those of his people who had become Muslims reverted to their former religion with al-Gharūr b. al-Mundhir b. al-Nuʿmān b. al-Mundhir, al-Jārūd stood and spoke, testifying with the testimony of truth, and calling to Islam, saying: “O people, I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that Muḥammad is His servant and His messenger, and I declare as an unbeliever whoever does not testify.” Ibn Hishām said: And it is also related: “And I suffice against whoever does not testify.”
