Sirat Ibn Hisham 588
The brotherhood between the emigrants and the ansar
[ بِلَالٌ يُوصِي بِدِيوَانِهِ لِأَبِي رُوَيْحَةَ ] فَلَمَّا دَوَّنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الدَّوَاوِينَ بِالشَّامِ، وَكَانَ بِلَالٌ قَدْ خَرَجَ إلَى الشَّامِ، فَأَقَامَ بِهَا مُجَاهِدًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِبِلَالٍ: إلَى مَنْ تَجْعَلُ دِيوَانَكَ يَا بِلَالُ ؟ قَالَ: مَعَ أَبِي رُوَيْحَةَ، لَا أُفَارِقُهُ أَبَدًا، لِلْأُخُوَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَقَدَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنِي، فَضَمَّ إلَيْهِ، وَضُمَّ دِيوَانُ الْحَبَشَةِ إلَى خَثْعَمَ، لِمَكَانِ بِلَالٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَهُوَ فِي خَثْعَمَ إلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِالشَّامِ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَهَلَكَ فِي تِلْكَ الْأَشْهُرِ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ، أَسَعْدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، وَالْمَسْجِدُ يُبْنَى، أَخَذَتْهُ الذِّبْحَةُ أَوْ الشَّهْقَةُ. [ مَوْتُهُ وَمَا قَالَهُ الْيَهُودُ فِي ذَلِكَ أبو أمامة ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: بِئْسَ الْمَيِّتُ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ، لَيَهُودُ وَمُنَافِقِي الْعَرَبِ يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَمُتْ صَاحِبُهُ، وَلَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي وَلَا لِصَاحِبِي مِنْ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا
Translation
✧ [Bilāl entrusts his dīwān to Abū Ruwayḥah] When ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb established the dīwāns in Syria, and Bilāl had gone out to Syria and stayed there as a warrior, ʿUmar said to Bilāl: “To whom do you assign your dīwān, O Bilāl?” He said: “With Abū Ruwayḥah; I will never part from him, because of the brotherhood which the Messenger of God ﷺ concluded between him and me.” So he attached him to him, and the dīwān of the Abyssinians was attached to Khathʿam, because of Bilāl’s place among them; thus he is in Khathʿam to this day in Syria. Abū Umāmah. Ibn Isḥāq said: In those months Abū Umāmah, Asʿad b. Zurārah, died while the mosque was being built; the shudhbaqah or the shahqah took him. [His death and what the Jews said about it] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm narrated to me, from Yaḥyā b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Asʿad b. Zurārah, that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Evil is the dead man Abū Umāmah, for the Jews and the hypocrites among the Arabs will say: ‘If he were a prophet, his companion would not have died’; and I possess no power for myself or for my companion from God in anything.”
