The detachment of ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz
سَرِيَّةُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مُجَزِّزٍ [ سَبَبُ إِرْسَالِ عَلْقَمَةَ ] وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُجَزِّزٍ. لَمَّا قُتِلَ وَقَّاصُ بْنُ مُجَزِّزٍ الْمُدْلِجِيَّ يَوْمَ ذِي قَرَدَ، سَأَلَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مُجَزِّزٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ فِي آثَارِ الْقَوْمِ، لِيَدْرِكَ ثَأْرَهُ فِيهِمْ. [ دُعَابَةُ ابْنِ حُذَافَةَ مَعَ جَيْشِهِ ] فَذَكَرَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُجَزِّزٍ - قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ: وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ - حَتَّى إذَا بَلَغْنَا رَأَسَ غَزَاتِنَا أَوْ كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ، أَذِنَ لِطَائِفَةِ مِنْ الْجَيْشِ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ابْنَ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيَّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ: أَلَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى؛ قَالَ: أَفَمَا أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِشَيْءِ إلَّا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَقِّي وَطَاعَتِي إلَّا تَوَاثَبْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ النَّارِ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَحْتَجِزُ، حَتَّى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُمْ وَاثِبُونَ فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: اجْلِسُوا، فَإِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَضْحَكُ مَعَكُمْ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ. وَذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُجَزِّزٍ رَجَعَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَلَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْدًا.
Translation
✧ The Detachment of ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz [The Reason for Sending ʿAlqamah] The Messenger of God ﷺ sent ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz. When Waqqāṣ b. Mujazziz al-Mudlijī was killed on the day of Dhū Qarad, ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz asked the Messenger of God ﷺ to send him in pursuit of the people, so that he might attain his revenge upon them. [The Jest of Ibn Ḥudhāfah with His Army] ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Muḥammad mentioned, from Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. ʿAlqamah, from ʿAmr b. al-Ḥakam b. Thawbān, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said: The Messenger of God ﷺ sent ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz—Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī said: and I was among them—until when we reached the head of our expedition or were on part of the road, he gave leave to a group of the army, and appointed over them ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥudhāfah al-Sahmī, who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and in whom there was jesting. When he was on part of the road, he kindled a fire, then said to the people: Do I not have from you hearing and obedience? They said: Yes. He said: Is whatever I command you to do not to be done by you? They said: Yes. He said: I adjure you by my right and your obedience to me that you leap into this fire. He said: Some of the people arose, girding themselves, until he thought that they were about to leap into it. Then he said to them: Sit down, for I was only jesting with you. That was mentioned to the Messenger of God ﷺ after they had come to him, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: Whoever among them commands you to disobedience, do not obey him. Muḥammad b. Ṭalḥah mentioned that ʿAlqamah b. Mujazziz returned, he and his companions, and did not meet any enemy force.
