The killing of b. al-Thāmir
[ مَقْتَلُ ابْنِ الثَّامِرِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَيُقَالُ: كَانَ فِيمَنْ قَتَلَ ذُو نُوَاسٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الثَّامِرِ، رَأْسُهُمْ وَإِمَامُهُمْ. [ مَا يُرْوَى عَنْ ابْنِ الثَّامِرِ فِي قَبْرِهِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ كَانَ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حَفَرَ خَرِبَةً مِنْ خَرِبِ نَجْرَانَ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ، فَوَجَدُوا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الثَّامِرِ تَحْتَ دَفْنٍ مِنْهَا قَاعِدًا، وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى ضَرْبَةٍ فِي رَأْسِهِ مُمْسِكًا بِيَدِهِ عَلَيْهَا فَإِذَا أُخِّرَتْ يَدُهُ عَنْهَا تَنْبَعِثُ دَمًا، وَإِذَا أُرْسِلَتْ يَدُهُ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهَا، فَأَمْسَكَتْ دَمُهَا، وَفِي يَدِهِ خَاتَمٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ: رَبِّي اللَّهُ فَكُتِبَ فِيهِ إلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ يُخْبَرُ بِأَمْرِهِ فَكَتَبَ إلَيْهِمْ عُمَرُ ؓ: أَنْ أَقِرُّوهُ عَلَى حَالِهِ، وَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ الدَّفْنَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ، فَفَعَلُوا
Translation
✧ [The killing of Ibn al-Thāmir] Ibn Isḥāq said: It is said that among those whom Dhū Nuwās killed was ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Thāmir, their leader and imam. [What is related from Ibn al-Thāmir in his grave] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm told me that it was related to him that a man of the people of Najrān, in the time of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ, dug among the ruins of Najrān for some need of his, and they found ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Thāmir beneath a burial place therein, sitting, placing his hand on a wound in his head, holding it with his hand. So when his hand was removed from it, blood flowed; and when his hand was released, it returned to it, and the blood stopped. On his hand was a signet ring on which was written: "My Lord is Allāh." So they wrote about it to ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, informing him of his affair. And ʿUmar ؓ wrote to them: "Leave him in his state, and restore over him the burial that was upon him." So they did.
