Those who embraced Islam from the Jewish rabbis hypocritically
مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ يَهُودَ نِفَاقًا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ تَعَوَّذَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، وَدَخَلَ فِيهِ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأَظْهَرَهُ وَهُوَ مُنَافِقٌ، مِنْ أَحْبَارِ يَهُودَ. [ مِنْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ المنافقين في المدينة ] مِنْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ: سَعْدُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ اللُّصَيْتِ، وَنُعْمَانُ بْنُ أَوْفَى بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَوْفَى. وَزَيْدُ بْنُ اللُّصَيْتِ، الَّذِي قَاتَلَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ بِسُوقِ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ، حَيْنَ ضَلَّتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: يَزْعُمُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ نَاقَتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَجَاءَهُ الْخَبَرُ بِمَا قَالَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ فِي رَحْلِهِ، وَدَلَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى رَسُولَهُ ﷺ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ إنَّ قَائِلًا قَالَ: يَزْعُمُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ، وَلَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ نَاقَتُهُ ؟ وَإِنِّي وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ إلَّا مَا عَلَّمَنِي اللَّهُ، وَقَدْ دَلَّنِي اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا، فَهِيَ فِي هَذَا الشِّعْبِ، قَدْ حَبَسَتْهَا شَجَرَةٌ بِزِمَامِهَا، فَذَهَبَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؛ فَوَجَدُوهَا حَيْثُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَكَمَا وَصَفَ. وَرَافِعُ بْنُ حُرَيْمِلَةَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ الرَّسُولُ ﷺ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنَا - حَيْنَ مَاتَ: قَدْ مَاتَ الْيَوْمَ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَرِفَاعَةُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ التَّابُوتِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْنَ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرِّيحُ، وَهُوَ قَافِلٌ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَاشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَشْفَقَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَا تَخَافُوا، فَإِنَّمَا هَبَّتْ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْكُفَّارِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ رِفَاعَةَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ التَّابُوتِ مَاتَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي هَبَّتْ فِيهِ الرِّيحُ. وَسِلْسِلَةَ بْنَ بِرْهامٍ. وَكِنَانَةَ بْنَ صُورِيَّا.
Translation
✧ Those of the rabbis of the Jews who embraced Islam hypocritically: Ibn Isḥāq said: Among those who sought protection by [professing] Islam, entered it along with the Muslims, and displayed it while being a hypocrite, from the rabbis of the Jews, were [from the Banū Qaynuqāʿ hypocrites in Madinah]: from the Banū Qaynuqāʿ: Saʿd b. Ḥunayf, Zayd b. al-Luṣayt, Nuʿmān b. Awfā b. ʿAmr, and ʿUthmān b. Awfā. And Zayd b. al-Luṣayt was the one who fought ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ in the market of the Banū Qaynuqāʿ. He was the one who said, when the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went astray: “Muḥammad claims that news of heaven comes to him, yet he does not know where his she-camel is.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, after the news of what the enemy of Allah had said in his saddle came to him—and Allah, blessed and exalted, directed His Messenger ﷺ to his she-camel: “A speaker said: ‘Muḥammad claims that news of heaven comes to him, yet he does not know where his she-camel is?’ By Allah, I know only what Allah has taught me, and Allah has directed me to her. She is in this mountain pass; a tree has held her back by her halter.” Some men of the Muslims went and found her where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said, and as he had described. And Rāfiʿ b. Ḥuraymila—he was the one about whom the Messenger ﷺ said, as it has reached us, when he died: “Today a great one among the great hypocrites has died.” And Rifāʿa b. Zayd b. al-Tābūt—he was the one to whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ referred when the wind blew upon him while he was returning from the expedition against the Banū al-Muṣṭaliq. It became so severe upon him that the Muslims feared because of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: “Do not fear, for it has blown only because of the death of a great one among the great disbelievers.” When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah, he found that Rifāʿa b. Zayd b. al-Tābūt had died that very day on which the wind had blown. And Silsila b. Birhām, and Kināna b. Ṣūriyā.
