Sirat Ibn Hisham 495
عَرْضُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى الْقَبَائِلِ [ عَرْضُ الرَّسُولِ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى الْعَرَبِ فِي مَوَاسِمِهِمْ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ، وَقَوْمُهُ أَشَدُّ مَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خِلَافِهِ وَفِرَاقِ دِينِهِ، إلَّا قَلِيلًا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ، مِمَّنْ آمَنَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الْمَوَاسِمِ، إذَا كَانَتْ، عَلَى قَبَائِلِ الْعَرَبِ يَدْعُوهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ، وَيُخْبِرُهُمْ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ، وَيَسْأَلُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَدِّقُوهُ وَيَمْنَعُوهُ حَتَّى يُبَيِّنَ ( لَهُمْ ) اللَّهُ مَا بَعَثَهُ بِهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الدِّيلِيِّ، أَوْ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنْهُ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ عَبَّادٍ، يُحَدِّثُهُ أَبِي، قَالَ: إنِّي لَغُلَامٌ شَابٌّ مَعَ أَبِي بِمِنًى، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقِفُ عَلَى مَنَازِلِ الْقَبَائِلِ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ، إنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إلَيْكُمْ، يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَأَنْ تَخْلَعُوا مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَنْدَادِ، وَأَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي، وَتُصَدِّقُوا بِي، وَتَمْنَعُونِي، حَتَّى أُبَيِّنَ عَنْ اللَّهِ مَا بَعَثَنِي بِهِ. قَالَ: وَخَلْفَهُ رَجُلٌ أَحْوَلُ وَضِيءٌ، لَهُ غَدِيرَتَانِ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ عَدَنِيَّةٌ. فَإِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَمَا دَعَا إلَيْهِ، قَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا بَنِي فُلَانٍ، إنَّ هَذَا إنَّمَا يَدْعُوكُمْ أَنْ تَسْلُخُوا اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّى مِنْ أَعْنَاقِكُمْ، وَحَلْفَاءَكُمْ مِنْ الْجِنِّ مِنْ بَنِي مَالِكِ بْنِ أُقَيْشٍ، إلَى مَا جَاءَ بِهِ مِنْ الْبِدْعَةِ وَالضَّلَالَةِ، فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ، وَلَا تَسْمَعُوا مِنْهُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي: يَا أَبَتِ، مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهُ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا عَمُّهُ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: قَالَ النَّابِغَةُ:: كَأَنَّكَ مِنْ جِمَالِ بَنِي أُقَيْشٍ يُقَعْقَعُ خَلْفَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِشَنِّ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ: أَنَّهُ أَتَى كِنْدَةَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ، وَفِيهِمْ سَيِّدٌ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مُلَيْحٌ، فَدَعَاهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ نَفْسَهُ، فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِ.
Translation
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering himself to the tribes [The Messenger offering himself to the Arabs at their gatherings] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to Makkah, while his people were more severe against him than they had ever been in opposing him and separating from his religion, except a few who were deemed weak among those who had believed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer himself at the gatherings, when they occurred, to the tribes of the Arabs, calling them to Allah and informing them that he was a prophet sent [by Allah], and asking them to believe him and protect him until Allah made clear to them what He had sent him with. Ibn Isḥāq said: One of our companions, whom I do not suspect, related to me from Zayd b. Aslam, from Rabīʿah b. ʿAbbād al-Dīlī – or someone who related to him Abū al-Zinād from him – Ibn Hishām said: Rabīʿah b. ʿAbbād. Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥusayn b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿAbbās related to me, saying: I heard Rabīʿah b. ʿAbbād relating to my father, saying: I was a young boy with my father at Minā, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing at the encampments of the tribes of the Arabs, saying: "O Banī so-and-so, I am the Messenger of Allah to you, commanding you to worship Allah and not to associate anything with Him, and to cast off these rivals that you worship besides Him, and to believe in me, and trust me, and protect me until I make clear from Allah what He has sent me with." He said: And behind him was a cross-eyed, handsome man with two locks of hair, wearing an Adanite robe. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his words and what he called them to, that man said: "O Banī so-and-so, this man only calls you to strip al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā from your necks, and your allies from the jinn of Banī Mālik b. Uqaysh, to what he has brought of innovation and error; so do not obey him, and do not listen to him." He said: I said to my father: "O my father, who is this who follows him and contradicts what he says?" He said: "This is his uncle ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, Abū Lahab." Ibn Hishām said: Al-Nābighah said: "It is as though you are one of the camels of Banī Uqaysh – a worn waterskin rattles behind his legs." Ibn Isḥāq said: Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī related to us that he came to Kindah at their encampments, among whom was a chief of theirs called Mulayḥ. He called them to Allah, mighty and glorious, and offered himself to them, but they refused him.
