Sirat Ibn Hisham 1545
ʿAdī's coming to the Messenger and his acceptance of Islam
[ قُدُومُ عَدِيٍّ عَلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِسْلَامُهُ ] قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ الرَّجُلُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ؛ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إلَى بَيْتِهِ، فَوَاَللَّهِ إنَّهُ لَعَامِدٌ بِي إلَيْهِ، إذْ لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ضَعِيفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ، فَاسْتَرْقَفْتُهُ، فَوَقَفَ لَهَا طَوِيلًا تُكَلِّمُهُ فِي حَاجَتِهَا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: وَاَللَّهِ مَا هَذَا بِمَلِكِ؛ قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَضَى بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إذَا دَخَلَ بِي بَيْتَهُ، تَنَاوَلَ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ مَحْشُوَّةٍ لِيفًا، فَقَذَفَهَا إلَيَّ؛ فَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ عَلَى هَذِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلْ أَنْتَ فَاجْلِسْ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتَ، فَجَلَسْتُ عَلَيْهَا، وَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْأَرْضِ؛ قَالَ: قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: وَاَللَّهِ مَا هَذَا بِأَمْرِ مَلِكٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إيِهِ يَا عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَلَمْ تَكُ رَكُوسِيًّا ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى. ( قَالَ ): أَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَسِيرُ فِي قَوْمِكَ بِالْمِرْبَاعِ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِي دِينِكَ؛ قَالَ قُلْتُ: أَجَلْ وَاَللَّهِ، وَقَالَ: وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ، يَعْلَمُ مَا يُجْهَلُ؛ ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَعَلَّكَ يَا عَدِيُّ إنَّمَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ دُخُولٍ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ مَا تَرَى مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ، فَوَاَللَّهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ الْمَالُ أَنْ يَفِيضَ فِيهِمْ حَتَّى لَا يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَأْخُدُهُ؛ وَلَعَلَّكَ إنَّمَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ دُخُولٍ فِيهِ مَا تَرَى مِنْ كَثْرَةِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَقِلَّةِ عَدَدِهِمْ، فَوَاَللَّهِ لِيُوشِكَنَّ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ تَخْرَجُ مِنْ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ عَلَى بَعِيرِهَا ( حَتَّى ) تَزُورَ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ، لَا تَخَافُ؛ وَلَعَلَّكَ إنَّمَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ دُخُولٍ فِيهِ أَنَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ الْمُلْكَ وَالسُّلْطَانَ فِي غَيْرِهِمْ، وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنَّ تَسْمَعَ بِالْقُصُورِ الْبِيضِ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَابِلَ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ؛ قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمْتُ [ وُقُوعُ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ الرَّسُولُ عَدِيًّا ] وَكَانَ عَدِيٌّ يَقُولُ: قَدْ مَضَتْ اثْنَتَانِ وَبَقِيَتْ الثَّالِثَةُ، وَاَللَّهِ لَتَكُونَنَّ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْقُصُورَ الْبِيضَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَابِلَ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ عَلَى بَعِيرِهَا لَا تَخَافُ حَتَّى تَحُجَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ، وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَتَكُونَنَّ الثَّالِثَةُ، لَيَفِيضَنَّ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لَا يُوجَدَ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ
Translation
✧ [ʿAdī's arrival before the Messenger and his islam] He said: So I departed until I came before the Messenger of God ﷺ in Madinah, and I entered upon him while he was in his mosque. I greeted him, and he said: "Who is the man?" I said: "ʿAdī b. Ḥātim." The Messenger of God ﷺ arose and departed with me to his house. By God, while he was making for it with me, a weak old woman met him and asked him to stop, and he stood for her for a long time while she spoke to him about her need. He said: I said to myself: By God, this is no king. He said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ went on with me until, when he had brought me into his house, he took a cushion of tanned leather stuffed with palm fiber and threw it to me, saying: "Sit on this." He said: I said: "Rather you sit on it." He said: "Rather you." So I sat on it, and the Messenger of God ﷺ sat on the ground. He said: I said to myself: By God, this is not the affair of a king. Then he said: "Now then, O ʿAdī b. Ḥātim, were you not a Rukūsī?" He said: I said: "Yes." He said: "And did you not go among your people taking the fourth?" He said: I said: "Yes." He said: "That was not lawful for you in your religion." He said: I said: "Indeed, by God." And he said: "And I knew that he was a sent prophet, knowing what is unknown." Then he said: "Perhaps, O ʿAdī, what prevents you from entering this religion is what you see of their need. By God, wealth is about to overflow among them until no one is found to take it. Perhaps what prevents you from entering it is what you see of the multitude of their enemy and the smallness of their number. By God, it is about to happen that you will hear of a woman going out from al-Qādisiyyah on her camel to visit this House without fear. Perhaps what prevents you from entering it is that you see kingship and authority among others than them. By God, it is about to happen that you will hear of the white palaces of the land of Bābil having been conquered for them." He said: So I became a Muslim. [The coming to pass of what the Messenger promised ʿAdī] And ʿAdī used to say: Two have passed and the third remains. By God, it will surely be. I have seen the white palaces of the land of Bābil conquered, and I have seen the woman going out from al-Qādisiyyah on her camel without fear until she makes pilgrimage to this House. By God, the third will surely be: wealth will overflow until no one is found to take it.
