The Quraysh's visit to the Anṣār concerning the pledge of allegiance
[ غُدُوُّ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فِي شَأْنِ الْبَيْعَةِ ] ( قَالَ ): فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَتْ عَلَيْنَا جُلَّةُ قُرَيْشٍ، حَتَّى جَاءُونَا فِي مَنَازِلِنَا، فَقَالُوا: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَزْرَجِ، إنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ إلَى صَاحِبِنَا هَذَا تَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِنَا، وَتُبَايِعُونَهُ عَلَى حَرْبِنَا، وَإِنَّهُ وَاَللَّهِ مَا مِنْ حَيٍّ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ أَبْغَضُ إلَيْنَا، أَنْ تَنْشَبَ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ، مِنْكُمْ. قَالَ: فَانْبَعَثَ مَنْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ مُشْرِكِي قَوْمِنَا يَحْلِفُونَ بِاَللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْءٌ، وَمَا عَلِمْنَاهُ. قَالَ: وَقَدْ صَدَقُوا، لَمْ يَعْلَمُوهُ. قَالَ: وَبَعْضُنَا يَنْظُرُ إلَى بَعْضٍ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَامَ الْقَوْمُ، وَفِيهِمْ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، وَعَلَيْهِ نَعْلَانِ لَهُ جَدِيدَانِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَلِمَةً - كَأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْرَكَ الْقَوْمَ بِهَا فِيمَا قَالُوا -: يَا أَبَا جَابِرٍ، أَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ، وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدٌ مِنْ سَادَاتِنَا، مِثْلَ نَعْلَيْ هَذَا الْفَتَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ؟ قَالَ: فَسَمِعَهَا الْحَارِثُ، فَخَلَعَهُمَا مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَمَى بِهِمَا إلَيَّ، وَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ لِتَنْتَعِلَنَّهُمَا. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: أَبُو جَابِرٍ: مَهْ، أَحْفَظْتَ وَاَللَّهِ الْفَتَى، فَارْدُدْ إلَيْهِ نَعْلَيْهِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَاَللَّهِ لَا أَرُدُّهُمَا، فَأْلٌ وَاَللَّهِ صَالِحٌ، لَئِنْ صَدَقَ الْفَأْلُ لَأَسْلُبَنَّهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَنَّهُمْ أَتَوْا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ كَعْبٌ مِنْ الْقَوْلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: ( وَاَللَّهِ ) إنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ جَسِيمٌ مَا كَانَ قَوْمِي لِيَتَفَوَّتُوا عَلَيَّ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا، وَمَا عَلِمْتُهُ كَانَ. قَالَ: فَانْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُ
Translation
✧ [Quraysh's going forth to the Anṣār concerning the matter of the pledge of allegiance] (He said): When morning came, the notables of Quraysh came to us in the morning, until they reached us in our dwellings, and said: "O company of Khazraj, it has reached us that you have come to this companion of ours to take him out from among us and to give him allegiance upon waging war against us. By God, there is no clan among the Arabs more hateful to us than you, that war should break out between us and them." (He said): Then those of our people who were there from the polytheists started swearing by God that nothing of this had happened, and that they did not know of it. (He said): And they spoke the truth; they did not know of it. (He said): And some of us looked at one another. (He said): Then the people arose, among them al-Ḥārith b. Hishām b. al-Mughīrah al-Makhzūmī, and he had on two new sandals of his. (He said): I said a word to him—as if I wanted to involve the people in what they had said: "O Abū Jābir, can you not, since you are a chief among our chiefs, acquire the like of the sandals of this young man of Quraysh?" (He said): Al-Ḥārith heard it, so he took them off his feet and threw them to me, and said: "By God, you shall put them on." (He said): He says: Abū Jābir said: "Enough! By God, you have angered the young man; return his sandals to him." (He said): I said: "By God, I will not return them. It is a good omen, by God; if the omen proves true, I will despoil him." Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr narrated to me that they came to ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy b. Salūl and said to him the like of what Kaʿb said, and he said to them: "By God, this matter is grave. My people would not have acted on such a thing without my knowledge, and I did not know that it had happened." (He said): So they turned away from him.
