Sirat Ibn Hisham 294
The Quraysh going to Abu Talib a third time with ʿUmarah b. al-Walid al-Makhzumi
[ مَشْيُ قُرَيْشٍ إلَى أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثَالِثَةً بِعُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ قُرَيْشًا حِينَ عَرَفُوا أَنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ قَدْ أَبَى خِذْلَانَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِسْلَامَهُ، وَإِجْمَاعَهُ لِفِرَاقِهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ وَعَدَاوَتِهِمْ، مَشَوْا إلَيْهِ بِعُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ، هَذَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، أَنْهَدُ فَتًى فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَأَجْمَلُهُ، فَخُذْهُ فَلَكَ عَقْلُهُ وَنَصْرُهُ، وَاِتَّخِذْهُ وَلَدًا فَهُوَ لَكَ، وَأَسْلِمْ إلَيْنَا ابْنَ أَخِيكَ هَذَا، الَّذِي قَدْ خَالَفَ دِينَكَ وَدِينَ آبَائِكَ، وَفَرَّقَ جَمَاعَةَ قَوْمِكَ، وَسَفَّهُ أَحْلَامَهُمْ، فَنَقْتُلَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ بِرَجُلِ؛ فَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ لَبِئْسَ مَا تَسُومُونَنِي أَتُعْطُونَنِي ابْنَكُمْ أَغْذُوهُ لَكُمْ، وَأُعْطِيكُمْ ابْنِي تَقْتُلُونَهُ هَذَا وَاَللَّهِ مَا لَا يَكُونُ أَبَدًا. قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْمُطْعِمُ بْنُ عَدِيِّ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ قُصَيٍّ: وَاَللَّهِ يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ لَقَدْ أَنْصَفَكَ قَوْمُكَ، وَجَهَدُوا عَلَى التَّخَلُّصِ مِمَّا تَكْرَهُهُ، فَمَا أَرَاكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا؛ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ لِلْمُطْعِمِ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَنْصَفُونِي، وَلَكِنَّكَ قَدْ أَجْمَعْتَ خِذْلَانِي وَمُظَاهَرَةَ الْقَوْمِ عَلَيَّ، فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ. فَحَقَبَ الْأَمْرُ، وَحَمِيَتْ الْحَرْبُ، وَتَنَابَذَ الْقَوْمُ، وَبَادَى بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا
Translation
✧ Quraysh's going to Abu Talib a third time with ʿUmarah b. al-Walid al-Makhzumi Ibn Ishaq said: Then Quraysh, when they knew that Abu Talib had refused to abandon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and to surrender him, and that he was determined to part with them in that and to be their enemy, they went to him with ʿUmarah b. al-Walid b. al-Mughirah, and they said to him—as it reached me—'O Abu Talib, this is ʿUmarah b. al-Walid, the strongest and most handsome young man among Quraysh. Take him, and you will have his intellect and his support; adopt him as a son, for he is yours, and hand over to us this son of your brother, who has opposed your religion and the religion of your forefathers, divided the community of your people, and made fools of their minds, so that we may kill him. For it is but one man for another.' He said, 'By God, what a vile thing you demand of me. Would you give me your son to feed for you, and I give you my son to kill? By God, this shall never ever be.' He said: Then al-Mutʿim b. ʿAdiyy b. Nawfal b. ʿAbd Manaf b. Qusayy said, 'By God, O Abu Talib, your people have treated you fairly, and they have striven to deliver you from what you dislike, but I do not see that you wish to accept anything from them.' Abu Talib said to al-Mutʿim, 'By God, they have not treated me fairly, but you have resolved to abandon me and to side with the people against me. So do what seems best to you,' or as he said. Then the affair became serious, war became heated, the people renounced one another, and some showed open enmity to others.
