The Casting of the Polytheists into the Well
[ طَرْحُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي الْقَلِيبِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْقَتْلَى أَنْ يُطْرَحُوا فِي الْقَلِيبِ، طُرِحُوا فِيهِ، إلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ، فَإِنَّهُ انْتَفَخَ فِي دِرْعِهِ فَمَلَأَهَا، فَذَهَبُوا لِيُحَرِّكُوهُ، فَتَزَايَلَ لَحْمُهُ، فَأَقَرُّوهُ، وَأَلْقَوْا عَلَيْهِ مَا غَيَّبَهُ مِنْ التُّرَابِ وَالْحِجَارَةِ. فَلَمَّا أَلْقَاهُمْ فِي الْقَلِيبِ، وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقَلِيبِ، هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ؟ فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا. قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُكَلِّمُ قَوْمًا مَوْتَى ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ مَا وَعَدَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ حَقًّا. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَالنَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ: لَقَدْ سَمِعُوا مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقَلِيبِ، يَا عُتْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَيَا شَيْبَةُ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَيَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنَ خَلَفٍ، وَيَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، فَعَدَّدَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْقَلِيبِ: هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا، فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا ؟ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُنَادِي قَوْمًا قَدْ جَيَّفُوا ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أنُ يُجِيبُونِي. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةِ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقَلِيبِ، بِئْسَ عَشِيرَةُ النَّبِيِّ كُنْتُمْ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ، كَذَّبْتُمُونِي وَصَدَّقَنِي النَّاسُ، وَأَخْرَجْتُمُونِي وَآوَانِي النَّاسُ، وَقَاتَلْتُمُونِي وَنَصَرَنِي النَّاسُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ؟ لِلْمَقَالَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ
Translation
✧ [The casting of the polytheists into the well] Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Rūmān related to me, from ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ commanded that the slain be cast into the well, they were cast into it, except for Umayyah b. Khalaf, for he swelled in his coat of mail and filled it. They went to move him, and his flesh fell apart, so they left him and cast upon him what would cover him of earth and stones. When he had cast them into the well, the Messenger of God ﷺ stood over them and said: O people of the well, have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true. She said: His companions said to him: O Messenger of God, do you speak to a people who are dead? He said to them: They have known that what their Lord promised them is true. ʿĀʾishah said: The people say, 'They heard what I said to them,' but the Messenger of God ﷺ only said to them, 'They have known.' Ibn Isḥāq said: Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl related to me, from Anas b. Mālik, who said: The companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ heard the Messenger of God ﷺ in the depth of the night saying: O people of the well, O ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah, O Shaybah b. Rabīʿah, O Umayyah b. Khalaf, O Abū Jahl b. Hishām—and he enumerated those of them who were in the well—have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true. The Muslims said: O Messenger of God, do you call out to a people who have become putrid? He said: You are not more able to hear what I say than they are, but they cannot answer me. Ibn Isḥāq said: Some of the people of knowledge related to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ said on the day of this speech: O people of the well, evil was the kinsfolk of the Prophet you were to your Prophet. You called me a liar when the people believed me; you expelled me when the people gave me refuge; you fought me when the people helped me. Then he said: Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true?—for the speech he made.
