غَزْوَةُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ذَاتَ السَّلَاسِلِ [ إِرْسَالُ عَمْرٍو ثُمَّ إِمْدَادُهُ ] وَغَزْوَةُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ذَاتَ السَّلَاسِلِ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ. وَكَانَ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ يَسْتَنْفِرُ الْعَرَبَ إلَى الشَّامِ. وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أُمَّ الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ كَانَتْ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَلِيٍّ، فَبَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَيْهِمْ يَسْتَأْلِفُهُمْ لِذَلِكَ، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ عَلَى مَاءٍ بِأَرْضِ جُذَامَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ السَّلْسَلُ، وَبِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةُ، غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ خَافَ فَبَعَثَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتَمِدُّهُ، فَبَعَثَ إلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ، فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ؛ وَقَالَ لِأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ حِينَ وَجَّهَهُ: لَا تَخْتَلِفَا؛ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ حَتَّى إذَا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو: إنَّمَا جِئْتَ مَدَدًا لِي؛ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: لَا، وَلَكِنِّي عَلَى مَا أَنَا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ رَجُلًا لَيِّنًا سَهْلًا، هَيِّنًا عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو: بَلْ أَنْتَ مَدَدٌ لِي؛ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: يَا عَمْرُو، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِي: لَا تَخْتَلِفَا، وَإِنَّكَ إنْ عَصَيْتَنِي أَطَعْتُكَ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي الْأَمِيرُ عَلَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ مَدَدٌ لِي، قَالَ: فَدُونَكَ. فَصَلَّى عَمْرٌو بِالنَّاسِ.
Translation
✧ The expedition of ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ to Dhāt al-Salāsil [the dispatch of ʿAmr and then his reinforcement] The expedition of ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ to Dhāt al-Salāsil in the land of Banū ʿUdhrah. Part of the story is that the Messenger of God ﷺ sent him to summon the Arabs to Syria. That was because the mother of al-ʿĀṣ b. Wāʾil was a woman of Balī, and the Messenger of God ﷺ sent him to them to win their friendship for that purpose. When he was at a watering place in the land of Judhām called al-Salsal, after which that expedition was named the expedition of Dhāt al-Salāsil, he became afraid and sent to the Messenger of God ﷺ asking for reinforcements. The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Abū ʿUbaydah b. al-Jarrāḥ with the first Muhājirūn, among them Abū Bakr and ʿUmar, and said to Abū ʿUbaydah when he sent him: "Do not disagree." Abū ʿUbaydah set out, and when he came to ʿAmr, ʿAmr said to him: "You have only come as a reinforcement for me." Abū ʿUbaydah said: "No, but I am as I am, and you are as you are." Abū ʿUbaydah was a gentle, easy-going man, and worldly matters weighed lightly on him. ʿAmr said to him: "Rather, you are a reinforcement for me." Abū ʿUbaydah said: "O ʿAmr, the Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: 'Do not disagree.' If you disobey me, I will obey you." ʿAmr said: "Then I am the commander over you, and you are my reinforcement." Abū ʿUbaydah said: "Have it your way." So ʿAmr led the people in prayer.
