Sirat Ibn Hisham 440
[ الْتِقَاؤُهُ بِالرَّسُولِ وَقَبُولُهُ الدَّعْوَةَ ] قَالَ: فَمَكَثْتُ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى بَيْتِهِ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، حَتَّى إذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ قَالُوا لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، لِلَّذِي قَالُوا، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا بَرِحُوا يُخَوِّفُونَنِي أَمْرَكَ حَتَّى سَدَدْتُ أُذُنَيَّ بِكُرْسُفٍ لِئَلَّا أَسْمَعَ قَوْلَكَ، ثُمَّ أَبَى اللَّهُ إلَّا أَنْ يُسْمِعَنِي قَوْلَكَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ قَوْلًا حَسَنًا، فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيَّ أَمْرَكَ. قَالَ: فَعَرَضَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْإِسْلَامَ، وَتَلَا عَلَيَّ الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَا وَاَللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ قَوْلًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ، وَلَا أَمْرًا أَعْدَلَ مِنْهُ. قَالَ: فَأَسْلَمْتُ وَشَهِدْتُ شَهَادَةَ الْحَقِّ، وَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، إنِّي امْرُؤٌ مُطَاعٌ فِي قَوْمِي، وَأَنَا رَاجِعٌ إلَيْهِمْ، وَدَاعِيهمْ إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِي آيَةً تَكُونُ لِي عَوْنًا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا أَدْعُوهُمْ إلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُ آيَةً [ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي جُعِلَتْ لَهُ ] قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ إلَى قَوْمِي، حَتَّى إذَا كُنْتُ بِثَنِيَّةٍ تُطْلِعُنِي عَلَى الْحَاضِرِ وَقَعَ نُورٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيَّ مِثْلُ الْمِصْبَاحِ فَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ فِي غَيْرِ وَجْهِي، إنِّي أَخْشَى، أَنْ يَظُنُّوا أَنَّهَا مُثْلَةٌ وَقَعَتْ فِي وَجْهِي لِفِرَاقِي دِينَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَتَحَوَّلَ فَوَقَعَ فِي رَأْسِ سَوْطِي. قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الْحَاضِرُ يَتَرَاءَوْنَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ فِي سَوْطِي كَالْقِنْدِيلِ الْمُعَلَّقِ، وَأَنَا أَهْبِطُ إلَيْهِمْ مِنْ الثَّنِيَّةِ، قَالَ: حَتَّى جِئْتُهُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُ فِيهِمْ
Translation
✧ [His meeting with the Messenger and his acceptance of the call] He said: I stayed until the Messenger of God ﷺ went back to his house, then I followed him, and when he entered his house I entered upon him and said: O Muhammad, your people have said to me such-and-such, for what they said. By God, they kept frightening me about your affair until I stuffed my ears with cotton lest I hear your words; then God refused but to make me hear your words, and I heard them—a fine speech. So present to me your affair. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ presented Islam to me and recited the Qur'an to me, and by God, I never heard any speech better than it, nor any affair more just than it. He said: So I became a Muslim and bore the witness of truth, and I said: O Prophet of God, I am a man obeyed among my people, and I am returning to them and calling them to Islam; so pray to God to make for me a sign that will be a help to me with them in what I call them to. He said: O God, make for him a sign. [The sign that was made for him] He said: So I went out to my people, and when I was at a mountain pass that would bring me out overlooking the settlement, a light fell between my eyes like a lamp. I said: O God, in other than my face, for I fear they will think it is a disfigurement that fell on my face for parting with their religion. He said: It moved and fell on the head of my whip. He said: The people of the settlement began to catch sight of that light on my whip like a hanging lantern, while I descended to them from the pass. He said: Until I came to them and was among them in the morning.
