Sirat Ibn Hisham 382
إرْسَالُ قُرَيْشٍ إلَى الْحَبَشَةِ فِي طَلَبِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إلَيْهَا [ رَسُولَا قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ لِاسْتِرْدَادِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمِنُوا وَاطْمَأَنُّوا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ، وَأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَصَابُوا بِهَا دَارًا وَقَرَارًا، ائْتَمَرُوا بَيْنَهُمْ أَنَّ يَبْعَثُوا فِيهِمْ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَلْدَيْنِ إلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَيَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ، لِيَفْتِنُوهُمْ فِي دِينِهِمْ، وَيُخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ دَارِهِمْ، الَّتِي اطْمَأَنُّوا بِهَا وَأَمِنُوا فِيهَا؛ فَبَعَثُوا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَعَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، وَجَمَعُوا لَهُمَا هَدَايَا لِلنَّجَاشِيِّ وَلِبَطَارِقَتِهِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثُوهُمَا إلَيْهِ فِيهِمْ.
Translation
✧ Quraysh’s dispatch to Abyssinia in pursuit of the emigrants to it [Quarysh’s two envoys to the Negus to demand the return of the emigrants] Ibn Isḥāq said: When Quraysh saw that the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ had found safety and security in the land of Abyssinia, and that they had found there a home and a settled abode, they took counsel among themselves to send against them two sturdy men of Quraysh to the Negus, so that he might send them back to them, that they might tempt them in their religion and expel them from their abode in which they had found security and safety. So they sent ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Rabīʿah and ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ b. Wāʾil, and they gathered gifts for the Negus and for his patricians, then they sent them to him concerning them.
