The news of Quraysh's disaster reaching Makkah
[ بُلُوغُ مُصَابِ قُرَيْشٍ إلَى مَكَّةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَكَانَ أَبُو عَزِيزٍ صَاحِبَ لِوَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِبَدْرِ بَعْدً النَّضْرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، فَلَمَّا قَالَ أَخُوهُ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ لِأَبِي الْيَسَرِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَسَرَهُ، مَا قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَزِيزٍ: يَا أَخِي، هَذِهِ وَصَاتُكَ بِي، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُصْعَبٌ: إنَّهُ أَخِي دُونَكَ. فَسَأَلَتْ أُمُّهُ عَنْ أَغْلَى مَا فُدِيَ بِهِ قُرَشِيٌّ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا: أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَبَعَثَتْ بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَفَدَتْهُ بِهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ ( بِمُصَابِ ) قُرَيْشٍ الْحَيْسُمَانَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، فَقَالُوا: مَا وَرَاءَكَ ؟ قَالَ: قُتِلَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، وَشَيْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، وَأَبُو الْحَكَمِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، وَزَمَعَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَنُبَيِّهٌ وَمُنَبِّهٌ ابْنَا الْحَجَّاجِ، وَأَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، فَلَمَّا جَعَلَ يُعَدِّدُ أَشْرَافَ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي الْحِجْرِ: وَاَللَّهِ إنْ يَعْقِلُ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُ عَنِّي؛ فَقَالُوا: ( و ) مَا فَعَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ ؟ قَالَ: هَا هُوَ ذَاكَ جَالِسًا فِي الْحِجْرِ، وَقَدْ وَاَللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ أَبَاهُ وَأَخَاهُ حِينَ قُتِلَا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَدْ دَخَلَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، فَأَسْلَمَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَأَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ وَأَسْلَمْتُ وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَهَابُ قَوْمَهُ وَيَكْرَهُ خِلَافَهُمْ وَكَانَ يَكْتُمُ إسْلَامَهُ، وَكَانَ ذَا مَالٍ كَثِيرٍ مُتَفَرِّقٍ فِي قَوْمِهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ، فَبَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ الْعَاصِي بْنَ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كَانُوا صَنَعُوا، لَمْ يَتَخَلَّفْ رَجُلٌ إلَّا بَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ الْخَبَرُ عَنْ مُصَابِ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، كَبَتَهُ اللَّهُ وَأَخْزَاهُ، وَوَجَدْنَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا قُوَّةً وَعِزًّا. قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا ضَعِيفًا، وَكُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ الْأَقْدَاحَ. أَنْحَتُهَا فِي حُجْرَةِ زَمْزَمَ، فَوَاَللَّهِ إنِّي لَجَالِسٌ فِيهَا أنْحَتُ أَقْدَاحِي، وَعِنْدِي أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ جَالِسَةٌ، وَقَدْ سَرَّنَا مَا جَاءَنَا مِنْ الْخَبَرِ، إذْ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ يَجُرُّ رِجْلَيْهِ بِشَرٍّ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَلَى طُنُبِ الْحُجْرَةِ، فَكَانَ ظَهْرُهُ إلَى ظَهْرِي، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ إذْ قَالَ النَّاسُ: هَذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَاسْمُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ - قَدْ قَدِمَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ: هَلُمَّ إلَيَّ، فَعِنْدَكَ لَعَمْرِي الْخَبَرُ، قَالَ: فَجَلَسَ ( إلَيْهِ ) وَالنَّاسُ قِيَامٌ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ كَانَ أَمْرُ النَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إلَّا أَنْ لَقِينَا الْقَوْمَ فَمَنَحْنَاهُمْ أَكْتَافَنَا يَقُودُونَنَا كَيْفَ شَاءُوا، وَيَأْسِرُونَنَا كَيْفَ شَاءُوا، وَاَيْمُ اللَّهِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ مَا لُمْتُ النَّاسَ، لَقِينَا رِجَالًا بِيضًا، عَلَى خَيْلٍ بَلْقٍ، بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَاَللَّهِ مَا تُلِيقُ شَيْئًا، وَلَا يَقُومُ لَهَا شَيْءٌ. قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ: فَرَفَعْتُ طُنُبَ الْحُجْرَةِ بِيَدَيَّ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: تِلْكَ وَاَللَّهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ؛ قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا وَجْهِي ضَرْبَةً شَدِيدَةً. قَالَ: وَشَاوَرْتُهُ فَاحْتَمَلَنِي فَضَرَبَ بِي الْأَرْضَ، ثُمَّ بَرَكَ عَلَيَّ يَضْرِبُنِي، وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا ضَعِيفًا، فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ إلَى عَمُودٍ مِنْ عُمُدِ الْحُجْرَةِ، فَأَخَذَتْهُ فَضَرَبَتْهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً فَعَلَتْ فِي رَأْسِهِ شَجَّةً مُنْكَرَةً، وَقَالَتْ: اسْتَضْعَفَتْهُ أَنْ غَابَ عَنْهُ سَيِّدُهُ، فَقَامَ مُوَلِّيًا ذَلِيلًا، فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا عَاشَ إلَّا سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ حَتَّى رَمَاهُ اللَّهُ بِالْعَدَسَةِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ
Translation
✧ [The news of Quraysh's losses reaching Makkah] Ibn Hisham said: Abu Aziz was the bearer of the polytheists' banner at Badr after al-Nadr b. al-Harith. When his brother Mus'ab b. Umayr said to Abu al-Yasar—who had captured him—what he said, Abu Aziz said to him: "O my brother, this is your charge concerning me." Mus'ab said to him: "He is my brother rather than you." His mother asked about the highest ransom paid for a Qurayshi, and she was told: "Four thousand dirhams." So she sent four thousand dirhams and ransomed him with them. Ibn Ishaq said: The first to come to Makkah with the news of Quraysh's losses was al-Haysuman b. Abd Allah al-Khuza'i. They said: "What is behind you?" He said: "Utbah b. Rabi'ah has been killed, and Shaybah b. Rabi'ah, and Abu al-Hakam b. Hisham, and Umayyah b. Khalaf, and Zam'ah b. al-Aswad, and Nubayh and Munabbih the two sons of al-Hajjaj, and Abu al-Bakhtari b. Hisham." When he began to enumerate the nobles of Quraysh, Safwan b. Umayyah, who was sitting in the Hijr, said: "By God, if this one is sane, ask him about me." They said: "And what did Safwan b. Umayyah do?" He said: "There he is, sitting in the Hijr. By God, I have indeed seen his father and his brother when they were killed." Ibn Ishaq said: Husayn b. Abd Allah b. Ubayd Allah b. Abbas narrated to me, from Ikrimah, the client of Ibn Abbas, who said: Abu Rafi', the client of the Messenger of God ﷺ, said: I was a slave belonging to al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib, and Islam had entered us, the people of the house. Al-Abbas became a Muslim, and Umm al-Fadl became a Muslim, and I became a Muslim. Al-Abbas was afraid of his people and disliked opposing them, and he concealed his Islam. He had great wealth dispersed among his people. Abu Lahab had stayed behind from Badr and sent in his place al-Asi b. Hisham b. al-Mughirah. Thus they used to do: no man stayed behind but sent another in his place. When the news came to him of the losses of the people of Badr from Quraysh, God crushed him and disgraced him, and we found in ourselves strength and honor. He said: I was a weak man, and I used to make drinking bowls, carving them in the chamber of Zamzam. By God, I was sitting there carving my bowls, with Umm al-Fadl sitting near me, and the news that had come to us had pleased us, when Abu Lahab came dragging his feet with evil, until he sat on the rope of the chamber. His back was to my back. While he was sitting, the people said: "This is Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith b. Abd al-Muttalib—Ibn Hisham said: Abu Sufyan's name is al-Mughirah—he has arrived." He said: Abu Lahab said: "Come to me, for by my life, you have the news." He said: He sat down beside him while the people stood over him. He said: "O son of my brother, tell me how the affair of the people was." He said: "By God, it was nothing but that we met the people and offered them our shoulders; they drove us however they wished and took us captive however they wished. And by God, with that I do not blame the people. We met white men on piebald horses, between heaven and earth. By God, they do not spare anything, and nothing stands against them." Abu Rafi' said: I lifted the rope of the chamber with my hands, then I said: "Those, by God, are the angels." He said: Abu Lahab raised his hand and struck my face with it a severe blow. He said: I resisted him, so he lifted me and threw me to the ground, then knelt over me hitting me. I was a weak man. Umm al-Fadl rose to a pillar of the chamber's pillars, took it, and struck him with it a blow that opened a severe gash in his head. She said: "You have taken advantage of his weakness because his master is absent from him." He stood up turning away humiliated. By God, he lived only seven nights until God smote him with the 'adasah and it killed him.
