غَزْوَةُ ابْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ لِقَتْلِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ [ سَبَبُهَا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَغَزْوَةُ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ الْغَابَةَ. وَكَانَ مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي، عَمَّنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَوْمِي، وَأَصْدَقْتهَا مِئَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْتَعِينُهُ عَلَى نِكَاحِي؛ فَقَالَ: وَكَمْ أَصَدَقْتُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: مِئَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَأْخُذُونَ الدَّرَاهِمَ مِنْ بَطْنِ وَادٍ مَا زِدْتُمْ، وَاَللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُعِينُكَ بِهِ قَالَ: فَلَبِثْتُ أَيَّامًا، وَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، أَوْ قَيْسُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، فِي بَطْنٍ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمَ، حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِقَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ بِالْغَابَةِ، يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ قَيْسَا عَلَى حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ ذَا اسْمٍ فِي جُشَمَ وَشَرَفٍ. قَالَ: فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَجُلَيْنِ مَعِي مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ: اُخْرُجُوا إلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى تَأْتُوا مِنْهُ بِخَبَرِ وَعِلْمٍ. قَالَ: وَقَدَّمَ لَنَا شَارِفًا عَجْفَاءَ، فَحُمِلَ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدُنَا، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا قَامَتْ بِهِ ضَعْفًا حَتَّى دَعَمَهَا الرِّجَالُ مِنْ خَلْفِهَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، حَتَّى اسْتَقَلَّتْ وَمَا كَادَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ: تُبَلَّغُوا عَلَيْهَا وَاعْتُقِبُوهَا.
Translation
✧ The expedition of Ibn Abī Ḥadrad to kill Rifāʿah b. Qays al-Jushamī [its cause]. Ibn Isḥāq said: And the expedition of Ibn Abī Ḥadrad al-Aslamī to al-Ghābah. Its story, as it reached me, from one I do not suspect, from Ibn Abī Ḥadrad, who said: I married a woman of my people and gave her a dowry of two hundred dirhams. He said: I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ to seek his help with my marriage. He said: "How much dowry did you give?" I said: "Two hundred dirhams, O Messenger of God." He said: "Glory be to God! Even if you were taking dirhams from the belly of a valley, you would not increase it. By God, I have nothing with which to help you." He said: I waited for some days. Then a man of Banū Jusham b. Muʿāwiyah, called Rifāʿah b. Qays or Qays b. Rifāʿah, came with a great host of Banū Jusham until he halted with his people and those with him at al-Ghābah, intending to gather Qays against the Messenger of God ﷺ. He had renown and nobility among Jusham. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ summoned me and two other Muslims with me and said: "Go out to this man until you bring back news and knowledge of him." He said: He provided us with a lean old camel, and one of us was mounted on it. By God, it could not stand with him because of its weakness until men propped it up from behind with their hands, until it rose, and it nearly could not. Then he said: "Take turns riding it to get there."
