[ أَسَمَاءُ الرُّسُلِ وَمَنْ أُرْسِلُوا إلَيْهِمْ ] فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُسُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَكَتَبَ مَعَهُمْ كُتُبًا إلَى الْمُلُوكِ يَدْعُوهُمْ فِيهَا إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ. فَبَعَثَ دِحْيَةَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ الْكَلْبِيَّ إلَى قَيْصَرَ، مَلِكِ الرُّومِ؛ وَبَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيَّ إلَى كِسْرَى، مَلِكِ فَارِسَ؛ وَبَعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيَّ إلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، مَلِكِ الْحَبَشَةِ، وَبَعَثَ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إلَى الْمُقَوْقَسِ، مَلِكِ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ؛ وَبَعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ السَّهْمِيَّ إلَى جَيْفَرٍ وَعَيَّادٍ ابْنَيْ الْجُلُنْدَى الْأَزْدِيَّيْنِ، مَلِكَيْ عُمَانَ؛ وَبَعَثَ سَلِيطَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو أَحَدَ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، إلَى ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ أُثَالٍ، وَهَوْذَةُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيِّينَ، مَلِكَيْ الْيَمَامَةِ؛ وَبَعَثَ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ إلَى الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ سَاوَى الْعَبْدِيِّ، مَلِكَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ؛ وَبَعَثَ شُجَاعَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ الْأَسْدِيَّ إلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي شِمْرٍ الْغَسَّانِيِّ، مَلِكِ تُخُومِ الشَّامِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: بَعَثَ شُجَاعَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ إلَى جَبَلَةَ بْنِ الْأَيْهَمِ الْغَسَّانِيِّ، وَبَعَثَ الْمُهَاجِرَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ إلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ كُلَالٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، مَلِكِ الْيَمَنِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَنَا نَسِيتُ سَلِيطًا وَثُمَامَةَ وَهَوْذَةَ وَالْمُنْذِرَ. [ رِوَايَةُ ابْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ بَعْثِ الرَّسُولِ رُسُلَهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ: أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُ مَنْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى الْبُلْدَانِ وَمُلُوكِ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ، وَمَا قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ حِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَبَعَثْتُ بِهِ إلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَعَرَفَهُ؛ وَفِيهِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: إنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَنِي رَحْمَةً وَكَافَّةً، فَأَدَّوْا عَنِّي يَرْحَمُكُمْ اللَّهُ، وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيَّ كَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ عَلَى عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ؛ قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ اخْتِلَافُهُمْ ؟ قَالَ: دَعَاهُمْ لِمِثْلِ مَا دَعَوْتُكُمْ لَهُ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَرَّبَ بِهِ فَأَحَبَّ وَسَلَّمَ؛ وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَعُدَ بِهِ فِكْرُهُ وَأَبَى، فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ عِيسَى مِنْهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ، فَأَصْبَحُوا وَكُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِلُغَةِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ وُجِّهَ إلَيْهِمْ

Luʾayy, to Thumāmah b. Uthāl and Hawdhah b. ʿAlī al-Ḥanafī, the two kings of al-Yamāmah; and he sent al-ʿAlāʾ b. al-Ḥaḍramī to al-Mundhir b. Sāwā al-ʿAbdī, king of al-Baḥrayn; and he sent Shujāʿ b. Wahb al-Asadī to al-Ḥārith b. Abī Shimr al-Ghassānī, king of the borders of Syria. Ibn Hishām said: He sent Shujāʿ b. Wahb to Jabalah b. al-Ayham al-Ghassānī, and he sent al-Muhājir b. Abī Umayyah al-Makhzūmī to al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd Kulāl al-Ḥimyarī, king of Yemen. Ibn Hishām said: I forgot Sulayṭ, Thumāmah, Hawdhah, and al-Mundhir. [Ibn Ḥabīb's Account of the Messenger's Sending of His Envoys] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb al-Miṣrī related to me that he found a document containing mention of those whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to the lands and the kings of the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and what he said to his Companions when he sent them. He said: I sent it to Muḥammad b. Shihāb al-Zuhrī, and he recognized it. In it: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to his Companions and said to them: "Allah has sent me as a mercy and for all people, so convey on my behalf, may Allah have mercy on you, and do not differ concerning me as the disciples differed concerning Jesus son of Mary." They said: "How, O Messenger of Allah, was their differing?" He said: "He called them to the like of what I have called you to. As for the one whom he sent near, he loved and submitted; and as for the one whom he sent far, his mind refused and he declined. Jesus complained of that to Allah, and they woke up with each man of them speaking the language of the people to whom he had been sent."
