[ خَبَرُ الْهَاتِفِ مِنْ الْجِنِّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ فِي هِجْرَتِهِ ] قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا. فَمَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ. وَمَا نَدْرِي أَيْنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْجِنِّ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ، يَتَغَنَّى بِأَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ شَعَرِ غِنَاءِ الْعَرَبِ، وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيَتْبَعُونَهُ، يَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَهُ وَمَا يَرَوْنَهُ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ أَعَلَى مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:: جَزَى اللَّهُ رَبُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرَ جَزَائِهِ رَفِيقَيْنِ حَلَّا خَيْمَتَيْ أُمِّ مَعْبَدِ هُمَا نَزَلَا بِالْبَرِّ ثُمَّ تَرَوَّحَا فَأَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَمْسَى رَفِيقَ مُحَمَّدٍ لِيَهْنِ بَنِي كَعْبٍ مَكَانُ فَتَاتِهِمْ وَمَقْعَدُهَا لِلْمُؤْمِنَيْنِ بِمَرْصَدِ [ نَسَبُ أُمِّ مَعْبَدٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: أُمُّ مَعْبَدٍ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ، امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي كَعْبٍ، مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ. وَقَوْلُهُ حَلَّا خَيْمَتَيْ، وهُمَا نَزَلَا بِالْبَرِّ ثُمَّ تَرَوَّحَا عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ: فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَا قَوْلَهُ، عَرَفْنَا حَيْثُ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَةً: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ؓ، وَعَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَرْقَطَ دَلِيلُهُمَا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُرَيْقِطٍ
Translation
✧ [The report of the jinn caller about the route of the Messenger ﷺ in his emigration] She said: Then they departed. We remained three nights, not knowing where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had gone, until a man from the jinn came from the lower part of Makkah, chanting verses of the poetry sung by the Arabs. The people followed him, hearing his voice but not seeing him, until he emerged from the upper part of Makkah, saying: May Allah, Lord of the people, reward with the best of His reward two companions who alighted at the two tents of Umm Maʿbad. They halted at the desert, then went on in the evening; so may he prosper who spent the evening as the companion of Muhammad. May it bode well for Banū Kaʿb the place of their young woman and her seat as a lookout for the believers. [The lineage of Umm Maʿbad] Ibn Hishām said: Umm Maʿbad bt. Kaʿb, a woman of Banū Kaʿb, of Khuzāʿah. His saying "they alighted at the two tents" and "they halted at the desert, then went on in the evening" is from someone other than Ibn Isḥāq. Ibn Isḥāq said: Asmāʾ bt. Abī Bakr ؓ said: When we heard his words, we knew where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had gone, and that his destination was Madinah. They were four: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ؓ, ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah, the mawlā of Abū Bakr, and ʿAbd Allāh b. Arqaṭ, their guide. Ibn Hishām said: It is also said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Urayqiṭ.
