The arrival of Surad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Azdī
قُدُومُ صُرَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَزْدِيَّ [ إِسْلَامُهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صُرَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَزْدِيُّ، فَأَسْلَمَ، وَحَسُنَ إسْلَامُهُ، فِي وَفْدٍ مِنْ الْأَزْدِ، فَأَمَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ. وَأَمَرُوهُ أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ بِمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ كَانَ يَلِيهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ، مِنْ قِبَلِ الْيَمَنِ. [ قِتَالُهُ أَهْلَ جَرْشٍ ] فَخَرَجَ صُرَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَسِيرُ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِجُرَشَ، وَهِيَ يَوْمئِذٍ مَدِينَةٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ، وَبِهَا قَبَائِلُ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ الْيَمَنِ، وَقَدْ ضَوَتْ إلَيْهِمْ خَثْعَمُ، فَدَخَلُوهَا مَعَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا بِسَيْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إلَيْهِمْ، فَحَاصَرُوهُمْ فِيهَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ، وَامْتَنَعُوا فِيهَا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ إنَّهُ رَجَعَ عَنْهُمْ قَافِلًا، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ إلَى جَبَلٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ شَكْرُ، ظَنَّ أَهْلُ جُرَشَ أَنَّهُ إنَّمَا وَلَّى عَنْهُمْ مُنْهَزِمًا، فَخَرَجُوا فِي طَلَبِهِ، حَتَّى إذَا أَدْرَكُوهُ عَطَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَتَلَهُمْ قَتْلًا شَدِيدًا.
Translation
✧ The arrival of Surad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Azdī [his conversion to Islam]. Ibn Isḥāq said: Surad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Azdī came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and converted to Islam, and his Islam was good, among a delegation from al-Azd. The Messenger of God ﷺ appointed him over those of his people who had converted to Islam. And they commanded him to wage war with those who had converted to Islam against those who were adjacent to him among the polytheists from the direction of Yemen. [His fighting the people of Jurash.] So Surad b. ʿAbd Allāh went out proceeding by the command of the Messenger of God ﷺ until he halted at Jurash, which was at that time a fortified city, and in it were tribes of the tribes of Yemen, and Khathʿam had taken refuge with them and entered it with them when they heard of the Muslims' march against them. He besieged them in it for nearly a month, and they held out against him in it. Then he turned away from them, returning, until when he came to a mountain of theirs called Shukr, the people of Jurash thought that he had only turned away from them in flight, so they went out in pursuit of him, until when they caught up with him, he turned upon them and killed them with a great slaughter.
