Sirat Ibn Hisham 1570
ʿAlī's meeting with the Prophet during the pilgrimage upon his return from Yemen
[ شَكَا عَلِيًّا جَنَدُهُ إلَى الرَّسُولِ لِانْتِزَاعِهِ عَنْهُمْ حُلَلًا مِنْ بَزِّ الْيَمَنِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ مِنْ الْيَمَنِ لِيَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ، تَعَجَّلَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى جُنْدِهِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَعَمِدَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَكَسَا كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ حُلَّةً مِنْ الْبَزِّ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ. فَلَمَّا دَنَا جَيْشُهُ خَرَجَ لِيَلْقَاهُمْ، فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِمْ الْحُلَلُ؛ قَالَ: وَيْلَكَ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: كَسَوْتُ الْقَوْمَ لِيَتَجَمَّلُوا بِهِ إذَا قَدِمُوا فِي النَّاسِ؛ قَالَ: وَيْلكَ انْزِعْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ بِهِ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: فَانْتَزَعَ الْحُلَلَ مِنْ النَّاسِ، فَرَدَّهَا فِي الْبَزِّ، قَالَ: وَأَظْهَرَ الْجَيْشَ شَكْوَاهُ لِمَا صُنِعَ بِهِمْ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ، وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: اشْتَكَى النَّاسُ عَلِيًّا رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِينَا خَطِيبًا، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، لَا تَشْكُوا عَلِيًّا، فَوَاَللَّهِ إنَّهُ لَأَخْشَنُ فِي ذَاتِ اللَّهِ، أَوْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مِنْ أَنْ يُشْكَى
Translation
✧ [The troops complained to the Messenger about ʿAlī because he had taken from them robes of Yemeni cloth] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yaḥyā b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī ʿAmrah related to me, from Yazīd b. Ṭalḥah b. Yazīd b. Rukānah, who said: When ʿAlī ؓ came from Yemen to meet the Messenger of God ﷺ in Makkah, he hastened to the Messenger of God ﷺ and left in charge of the troops who were with him a man from his companions. That man then went and clothed every man of the people with a robe from the cloth that was with ʿAlī ؓ. When his army drew near, he went out to meet them, and behold, they were wearing the robes. He said: Woe to you! What is this? He said: I clothed the people so that they might adorn themselves with it when they came among the people. He said: Woe to you! Strip it off before you bring it to the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: So he stripped the robes from the people and returned them to the cloth. He said: And the army showed its complaint for what had been done to them. Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Maʿmar b. Ḥazm related to me, from Sulaymān b. Muḥammad b. Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah, from his paternal aunt Zaynab bt. Kaʿb, who was married to Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said: The people complained about ʿAlī, may God be pleased with him. The Messenger of God ﷺ stood among us as a preacher, and I heard him say: O people, do not complain about ʿAlī. By God, he is indeed too harsh in the cause of God, or in the way of God, to be complained about.
