Sirat Ibn Hisham 452
أَمْرُ وَفْدِ النَّصَارَى الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا [ مُحَاوَلَةُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ رَدَّهَمُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَإِخْفَاقِهِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ، عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ النَّصَارَى، حِينَ بَلَغَهُمْ خَبَرُهُ مِنْ الْحَبَشَةِ، فَوَجَدُوهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَجَلَسُوا إلَيْهِ وَكَلَّمُوهُ وَسَأَلُوهُ، وَرِجَالٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِي أَنْدِيَتِهِمْ حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ؛ فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا مِنْ مَسْأَلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَمَّا أَرَادُوا، دَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ الْقُرْآنَ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَاضَتْ أَعَيْنُهُمْ مِنْ الدَّمْعِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَجَابُوا لِلَّهِ، وَآمَنُوا بِهِ وَصَدَّقُوهُ، وَعَرَفُوا مِنْهُ مَا كَانَ يُوصَفُ لَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ. فَلَمَّا قَامُوا عَنْهُ اعْتَرَضَهُمْ أَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ: خَيَّبَكُمْ اللَّهُ مِنْ رَكْبٍ بَعَثَكُمْ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِكُمْ تَرْتَادُونَ لَهُمْ لِتَأْتُوهُمْ بِخَبَرِ الرَّجُلِ، فَلَمْ تَطْمَئِنَّ مَجَالِسُكُمْ عِنْدَهُ، حَتَّى فَارَقْتُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ، مَا نَعْلَمُ رَكْبًا أَحْمَقَ مِنْكُمْ. أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا. فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ: سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، لَا نُجَاهِلُكُمْ، لَنَا مَا نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، لَمْ نَأْلُ أَنْفُسَنَا خَيْرًا
Translation
✧ The Account of the Delegation of Christians Who Accepted Islam [Abū Jahl's Attempt to Turn Them Away from Islam and His Failure] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then there came to the Messenger of God ﷺ, while he was in Makkah, twenty men or about that number of Christians, when news of him reached them from Abyssinia. They found him in the mosque, and they sat with him, spoke with him, and questioned him, while men of Quraysh were in their assemblies around the Kaʿbah. When they had finished questioning the Messenger of God ﷺ about what they wanted, the Messenger of God ﷺ summoned them to God, Mighty and Majestic, and recited the Qurʾān to them. When they heard the Qurʾān, their eyes overflowed with tears, then they responded to God, believed in Him, and affirmed him, and they recognized in him what had been described to them in their scripture concerning his affair. When they rose from him, Abū Jahl b. Hishām confronted them with a group of Quraysh, and they said to them: 'May God disappoint you as a band! Those behind you of your co-religionists sent you to seek out news of the man for them, so that you might bring them word of him. Yet your sitting with him was not settled before you abandoned your religion and affirmed what he said. We know of no band more foolish than you.' Or as they said. They said to them: 'Peace be upon you. We will not dispute foolishly with you. To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. We have not failed to seek good for ourselves.'
