Sirat Ibn Hisham 430
[ سَعْيُ هِشَامٍ فِي ضَمِّ الْمُطْعِمِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ لَهُ ] فَذَهَبَ إلَى الْمُطْعِمِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ ( بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ ) فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا مُطْعِمُ أَقَدْ رَضِيتَ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ بَطْنَانِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ، وَأَنْتَ شَاهِدٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، مُوَافِقٌ لِقُرَيْشِ فِيهِ أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَمْكَنْتُمُوهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ لَتَجِدُنَّهُمْ إلَيْهَا مِنْكُمْ سِرَاعًا؛ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ فَمَاذَا أَصْنَعُ إنَّمَا أَنَا رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ، قَالَ: قَدْ وَجَدْتَ ثَانِيًا؛ قَالَ: مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا، قَالَ: أَبْغِنَا ثَالِثًا، قَالَ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، قَالَ: مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: زُهَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: أَبْغِنَا رَابِعًا
Translation
✧ [Hishām's effort to secure al-Muṭʿim b. ʿAdī for himself] So he went to al-Muṭʿim b. ʿAdī (b. Nawfal b. ʿAbd Manāf) and said to him: "O Muṭʿim, have you accepted that two clans of Banū ʿAbd Manāf should perish while you are witness to that, in agreement with Quraysh concerning it? By God, if you enable them in this, you will find them quicker than you to it." He said: "Woe to you, what should I do? I am only one man." He said: "You have found a second." He said: "Who is he?" He said: "I." He said: "Find us a third." He said: "I have done so." He said: "Who is he?" He said: "Zuhayr b. Abī Umayya." He said: "Find us a fourth."
