Abū Quḥāfah and Asmāʾ after Abū Bakr's emigration
[ أَبُو قُحَافَةَ وَأَسْمَاءُ بَعْدَ هِجْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبَّادًا حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَهُ، احْتَمَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَالَهُ كُلَّهُ، وَمَعَهُ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهَا مَعَهُ. قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا جَدِّي أَبُو قُحَافَةَ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ إنِّي لَا أَرَاهُ قَدْ فَجَعَكُمْ بِمَالِهِ مَعَ نَفْسِهِ. قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: كَلَّا يَا أَبَتِ إنَّهُ قَدْ تَرَكَ لَنَا خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا. قَالَتْ: فَأَخَذْتُ أَحْجَارًا فَوَضَعْتهَا فِي كُوَّةٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَبِي يَضَعُ مَالَهُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ثَوْبًا، ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَتِ، ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَالِ. قَالَتْ: فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ، إذَا كَانَ تَرَكَ لَكُمْ هَذَا فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَفِي هَذَا بَلَاغٌ لَكُمْ. وَلَا وَاَللَّهِ مَا تَرَكَ لَنَا شَيْئًا وَلَكِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُسَكِّنَ الشَّيْخَ بِذَلِكَ
Translation
✧ [Abū Quḥāfah and Asmāʾ after the emigration of Abū Bakr] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yaḥyā b. ʿAbbād b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr related to me that his father ʿAbbād related to him from his grandmother Asmāʾ bt. Abī Bakr, who said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ departed, and Abū Bakr departed with him, Abū Bakr took all his wealth, which was five thousand dirhams or six thousand, and went off with it. She said: My grandfather Abū Quḥāfah, who had lost his sight, came in to us and said, "By God, I think he has distressed you by taking his wealth with him." She said: I said, "Not at all, father; he has left us much good." She said: I took some stones and placed them in a recess in the house where my father used to put his wealth, then I covered them with a cloth, then I took his hand and said, "Father, put your hand on this wealth." She said: He put his hand on it and said, "It is no matter; if he left you this, he has done well, and in this there is enough for you." But by God, he left us nothing; I only wanted to reassure the old man with that.
