Sirat Ibn Hisham 487
The polytheists’ boldness toward the Messenger after the deaths of Abū Ṭālib and Khadīja
[ طَمَعُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي الرَّسُولِ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَخَدِيجَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ خَدِيجَةَ بِنْتَ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَأَبَا طَالِبٍ هَلَكَا فِي عَامٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَتَتَابَعَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَصَائِبُ بِهُلْكِ خَدِيجَةَ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ وَزِيرَ صِدْقٍ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، يَشْكُو إلَيْهَا؛ وَبِهُلْكِ عَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَكَانَ لَهُ عَضُدًا وَحِرْزًا فِي أَمْرِهِ، وَمَنَعَةً وَنَاصِرًا عَلَى قَوْمِهِ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ مُهَاجَرِهِ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ. فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ، نَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ الْأَذَى مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَطْمَعُ بِهِ فِي حَيَاةِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، حَتَّى اعْتَرَضَهُ سَفِيهٌ مِنْ سُفَهَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَنَثَرَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تُرَابًا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَثَرَ ذَلِكَ السَّفِيهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ التُّرَابَ، دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَهُ وَالتُّرَابُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، فَقَامَتْ إلَيْهِ إحْدَى بَنَاتِهِ، فَجَعَلَتْ تَغْسِلُ عَنْهُ التُّرَابَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهَا: لَا تَبْكِي يَا بُنَيَّةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مَانِعٌ أَبَاكَ. قَالَ: وَيَقُولُ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ: مَا نَالَتْ مِنِّي قُرَيْشٌ شَيْئًا أَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ
Translation
✧ He said: Then Khadījah bt. Khuwaylid and Abū Ṭālib died in a single year, and the misfortunes came upon the Messenger of God ﷺ in succession with the death of Khadījah, who had been a true minister to him in Islam, to whom he complained; and with the death of his uncle Abū Ṭālib, who had been a support and protection for him in his affair, and a defense and helper against his people — and that was three years before his emigration to Madinah. When Abū Ṭālib died, Quraysh inflicted upon the Messenger of God ﷺ harm which they had not aspired to during the life of Abū Ṭālib, until a fool among the fools of Quraysh confronted him and scattered dust on his head. Ibn Isḥāq said: Hishām b. ʿUrwah reported to me, from his father ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, who said: When that fool scattered that dust upon the head of the Messenger of God ﷺ, the Messenger of God ﷺ entered his house with the dust upon his head, and one of his daughters rose to him and began to wash the dust from him while she wept, while the Messenger of God ﷺ said to her: 'Do not weep, my little daughter, for God will protect your father.' He said: And in the midst of that he would say: 'Quraysh did not attain from me anything I disliked until Abū Ṭālib died.'
