Sirat Ibn Hisham 455
[ ادِّعَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ بِتَعْلِيمِ جَبْرٍ لَهُ، وَمَا أَنَزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ] وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - كَثِيرًا مَا يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ الْمَرْوَةِ إلَى مَبْيَعَةِ غُلَامٍ نَصْرَانِيٍّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: جَبْرٌ، عَبْدٌ لِبَنِي الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، فَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا يُعَلِّمُ مُحَمَّدًا كَثِيرًا مِمَّا يَأْتِي بَهْ إلَّا جَبْرٌ النَّصْرَانِيُّ، غُلَامُ بَنِي الْحَضْرَمِيِّ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ: وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ لِسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُبِينٌ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: يُلْحِدُونَ إلَيْهِ: يَمِيلُونَ إلَيْهِ. وَالْإِلْحَادُ: الْمَيْلُ عَنْ الْحَقِّ. قَالَ رُؤْبَةُ بْنُ الْعَجَّاجِ: إذَا تَبِعَ الضَّحَّاكَ كُلُّ مُلْحِدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: يَعْنِي الضَّحَّاكَ الْخَارِجِيَّ، وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ: أُرْجُوزَةٌ لَهُ
Translation
✧ [The polytheists' claim that Jabr taught the Prophet, and what God revealed concerning that] The Messenger of God ﷺ — as it has reached me — used often to sit at al-Marwah near the place of sale of a Christian slave called Jabr, a slave belonging to the Banū al-Ḥaḍramī. They used to say: "By God, none teaches Muḥammad much of what he brings except Jabr the Christian, the slave of the Banū al-Ḥaḍramī." So God Most High revealed concerning their saying: "And indeed We know that they say, 'It is only a human being who teaches him.' The tongue of the one to whom they incline is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue." Ibn Hishām said: "yulḥidūna ilayhi: they incline towards him. Al-ilḥād is inclining away from the truth." Ruʾbah b. al-ʿAjjāj said: "When every heretic follows al-Ḍaḥḥāk." Ibn Hishām said: "He means al-Ḍaḥḥāk the Khārijite. This verse is one of his rajaz poems."
