[ حَدِيثُ أُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إسْلَامِ عُمَرَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ أُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِنْتِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، قَالَتْ: وَاَللَّهِ إنَّا لَنَتَرَحَّلُ إلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَامِرٌ فِي بَعْضِ حَاجَاتِنَا، إذْ أَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى شِرْكِهِ - قَالَتْ: وَكُنَّا نَلْقَى مِنْهُ الْبَلَاءَ أَذًى لَنَا وَشِدَّةً عَلَيْنَا - قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: إنَّهُ لَلِانْطِلَاقُ يَا أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ وَاَللَّهِ، لَنَخْرُجَنَّ فِي أَرْضِ اللَّهِ، آذَيْتُمُونَا وَقَهَرْتُمُونَا، حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ مَخْرَجًا. قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: صَحِبَكُمْ اللَّهُ، وَرَأَيْتُ لَهُ رِقَّةً لَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَاهَا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ أَحْزَنَهُ - فِيمَا أَرَى - خُرُوجُنَا. قَالَتْ: فَجَاءَ عَامِرٌ بِحَاجَتِهِ تِلْكَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتَ عُمَرَ آنِفًا وَرِقَّتَهُ وَحُزْنَهُ عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ: أَطَمِعْتِ فِي إسْلَامِهِ ؟ قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَلَا يُسْلِمُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتِ حَتَّى يُسْلِمَ حِمَارُ الْخَطَّابِ؛ قَالَتْ: يَأْسًا مِنْهُ، لِمَا كَانَ يَرَى مِنْ غِلْظَتِهِ وَقَسْوَتِهِ عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ

✧ [The account of Umm ʿAbd Allāh regarding ʿUmar's conversion to Islam] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAyyāsh b. Abī Rabīʿah narrated to me, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, from his mother Umm ʿAbd Allāh bt. Abī Ḥathmah, who said: By God, we were preparing to depart for the land of Abyssinia, and ʿĀmir had gone on some errand of ours, when ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb came and stood over me while he was still upon his polytheism. She said: And we used to meet from him affliction, harm to us, and severity against us. She said: He said: So it is indeed departure, O Umm ʿAbd Allāh? She said: I said: Yes, by God, we shall surely go forth in God's land, for you have harmed us and oppressed us, until God makes a way out. She said: He said: May God accompany you. And I saw in him a tenderness I had not seen before. Then he departed, grieved—as I saw—by our departure. She said: Then ʿĀmir came with that errand of his, and I said to him: O Abū ʿAbd Allāh, if you had seen ʿUmar just now, and his tenderness and his grief for us. He said: Do you have hope that he will embrace Islam? She said: I said: Yes. He said: The one you saw will not embrace Islam until the donkey of al-Khaṭṭāb embraces Islam. She said: [He said this] out of despair concerning him, because of what he saw of his harshness and severity against Islam.
