The killing of Abū Uzayhir and the uprising of Banū ʿAbd Manāf because of it
[ مَقْتَلُ أَبِي أُزَيْهِرٍ وَثَوْرَةُ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ لِذَلِكَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ عَدَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى أَبِي أُزَيْهِرٍ. وَهُوَ بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ( عَاتِكَةُ ) بِنْتُ أَبِي أُزَيْهِرٍ وَكَانَ أَبُو أُزَيْهِرٍ رَجُلًا شَرِيفًا فِي قَوْمِهِ - فَقَتَلَهُ بِعُقْرِ الْوَلِيدِ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، لِوَصِيَّةِ أَبِيهِ إيَّاهُ. وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَضَى بَدْرٌ، وَأُصِيبَ بَهْ مَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَخَرَجَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَجَمَعَ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ. وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بِذِي الْمَجَازِ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: أَخْفَرَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فِي صِهْرِهِ، فَهُوَ ثَائِرٌ بِهِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بِاَلَّذِي صَنَعَ ابْنُهُ يَزِيدُ - وَكَانَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ رَجُلًا حَلِيمًا مُنْكَرًا يُحِبُّ قَوْمَهُ حُبًّا شَدِيدًا - انْحَطَّ سَرِيعًا إلَى مَكَّةَ. وَخَشِيَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ حَدَثٌ فِي أَبِي أُزَيْهِرٍ، فَأَتَى ابْنَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْحَدِيدِ، فِي قَوْمِهِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَالْمُطَيِّبِينَ، فَأَخَذَ الرُّمْحَ مِنْ يَدِهِ. ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ضَرْبَةً هَدَّهُ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ؛ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَضْرِبَ قُرَيْشًا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ فِي رَجُلٍ مِنْ دَوْسٍ. سَنُؤْتِيهِمْ الْعَقْلَ إنْ قَبِلُوهُ، وَأَطْفَأَ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرَ. فَانْبَعَثَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يُحَرِّضُ فِي دَمِ أَبِي أُزَيْهِرٍ، وَيُعَيِّرُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ خُفْرَتَهُ وَيُجْبِنُهُ. فَقَالَ:: غَدَا أَهْلُ ضَوْجَيْ ذِي الْمَجَازِ كِلَيْهِمَا وَجَارَ ابْنُ حَرْبٍ بِالْمُغَمَّسِ مَا يَغْدُو وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْ الْعَيْرُ الضَّرُوطُ ذِمَارَهُ وَمَا مَنَعَتْ مَخْزَاةَ وَالِدِهَا هِنْدُ كَسَاكَ هِشَامُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ثِيَابَهُ فَأَبْلِ وَأَخْلِفْ مِثْلَهَا جُدُدًا بَعْدُ قَضَى وَطَرًا مِنْهُ فَأَصْبَحَ مَاجِدًا وَأَصْبَحْتَ رَخْوًا مَا تُخِبُّ وَمَا تَعْدُو فَلَوْ أَنَّ أَشْيَاخًا بِبَدْرٍ تَشَاهَدُوا لَبَلَّ نِعَالَ الْقَوْمِ مُعْتَبِطٌ وَرْدُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ قَوْلُ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: يُرِيدُ حَسَّانُ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ بَعْضَنَا بِبَعْضِ فِي رَجُلٍ مِنْ دَوْسٍ بِئْسَ وَاَللَّهِ مَا ظَنَّ
Translation
✧ [The killing of Abū Uzayhir and the uprising of the Banū ʿAbd Manāf for that] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then Hishām b. al-Walīd attacked Abū Uzayhir while he was in the market of Dhū al-Majāz. Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb had as wife ʿĀtikah bt. Abū Uzayhir, and Abū Uzayhir was a noble man among his people. He killed him in retaliation for the blood of al-Walīd that was upon him, according to the testament of his father to him. That was after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had emigrated to Madinah, and after Badr had passed, and after those of the noble polytheists of Quraysh who were struck down had been struck down. Then Yazīd b. Abī Sufyān went out and gathered the Banū ʿAbd Manāf while Abū Sufyān was at Dhū al-Majāz. The people said: Abū Sufyān has broken his protection of his son-in-law, so he is the one rising in vengeance for him. When Abū Sufyān heard of what his son Yazīd had done—and Abū Sufyān was a forbearing, prudent man who loved his people with a strong love—he went down quickly to Makkah, fearing that there might be an incident among Quraysh over Abū Uzayhir. He came to his son while he was in iron armor, among his people of the Banū ʿAbd Manāf and the Muṭayyibūn, and he took the spear from his hand. Then he struck him on the head with it, a blow that nearly felled him. Then he said to him: May Allah disgrace you! Do you want Quraysh to strike one another over a man of Daws? We will give them the blood money if they accept it. And that calmed the matter. Then Ḥassān b. Thābit arose, inciting revenge for the blood of Abū Uzayhir, reproaching Abū Sufyān for his breaking of protection, and calling him cowardly. He said: The people of the two sides of Dhū al-Majāz both went forth, while Ibn Ḥarb wronged at al-Mughammas, not going forth. The braying donkey did not protect his women, nor did Hind prevent the disgrace of her father. Hishām b. al-Walīd clothed you in his garments, so wear them out and replace them with new ones after. He fulfilled a desire of his, and became glorious, while you became slack, neither trotting nor running. If only the elders at Badr had witnessed, a vigorous lion would have wetted the sandals of the people. When Ḥassān's words reached Abū Sufyān, he said: Ḥassān wants to set some of us against others over a man of Daws. Evil, by Allah, is what he thought.
