Sirat Ibn Hisham 579
The building of the mosque of Madinah and his dwellings ﷺ
[ إخْبَارُ الرَّسُولِ لِعَمَّارٍ بِقَتْلِ الْفِئَةِ الْبَاغِيَةِ لَهُ ] قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ، وَقَدْ أَثْقَلُوهُ بِاللَّبِنِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَتَلُونِي، يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَا يَحْمِلُونَ. قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْفُضُ وَفْرَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا جَعْدًا، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَيْحَ ابْنَ سُمَيَّةَ، لَيْسُوا بِاَلَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَكَ، إنَّمَا تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ [ ارْتِجَازُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فِي بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ ] وَارْتَجَزَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَوْمئِذٍ:: لَا يَسْتَوِي مَنْ يَعْمُرُ الْمَسَاجِدَا يَدْأَبُ فِيهِ قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا وَمَنْ يُرَى عَنْ الْغُبَارِ حَائِدًا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: سَأَلْتُ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ، عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجَزِ، فَقَالُوا: بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ارْتَجَزَ بِهِ، فَلَا يُدْرَى: أَهُوَ قَائِلُهُ أَمْ غَيْرُهُ. [ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَ عَمَّارٍ وَأَحَدِ الصَّحَابَةِ مِنْ مُشَادَّةٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَخَذَهَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَرْتَجِزُ بِهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ، ظَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ إنَّمَا يُعَرِّضُ بِهِ، فِيمَا حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَكَّائِي، عَنْ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ، وَقَدْ سَمَّى ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ الرَّجُلَ. [ وَصَاةُ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ بِعَمَّارٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا تَقُولُ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ يَا ابْنَ سُمَيَّةَ، وَاَللَّهِ إنِّي لَأُرَانِي سَأَعْرِضُ هَذِهِ الْعَصَا لِأَنْفِكَ. قَالَ: وَفِي يَدِهِ عَصًا. قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا لَهُمْ وَلِعَمَّارٍ، يَدْعُوهُمْ إلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَيَدْعُونَهُ إلَى النَّارِ، إنَّ عَمَّارًا جِلْدَةٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنِيَّ وَأَنْفِي، فَإِذَا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الرَّجُلِ فَلَمْ يُسْتَبْقَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's informing ʿAmmār of the killing of the transgressing party] He said: ʿAmmār b. Yāsir entered while they had overburdened him with bricks, and he said: O Messenger of God, they are killing me, loading on me what they do not carry. Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ shaking his forelock with his hand—he was a man with curly hair—while saying: Woe to the son of Sumayyah! They are not the ones who will kill you; only the transgressing party will kill you. [ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib's rajaz verses during the building of the mosque] ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib ؓ recited rajaz that day: He who builds the mosques is not equal, striving in it standing and sitting, and he who is seen shunning the dust. Ibn Hishām said: I asked more than one of the people of knowledge of poetry about this rajaz, and they said: It has reached us that ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib recited it as rajaz, so it is not known whether he was its author or someone else. [What happened between ʿAmmār and one of the Companions of altercation] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAmmār b. Yāsir took it up and began reciting it as rajaz. Ibn Hishām said: When he recited it a lot, a man from the Companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ thought that he was only alluding to him, according to what Ziyād b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Bakkāʾī narrated to us from Ibn Isḥāq, and Ibn Isḥāq named the man. [The Messenger's ﷺ admonition concerning ʿAmmār] Ibn Isḥāq said: He said: I have heard what you have been saying since today, O son of Sumayyah. By God, I think I will present this staff to your nose. He said: And in his hand was a staff. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ became angry, then said: What is it with them and ʿAmmār? He calls them to Paradise, and they call him to the Fire. Surely ʿAmmār is the skin between my two eyes and my nose. When that is reached from a man, he is not spared, so avoid him.
