Sirat Ibn Hisham 784
The conversion of ʿUmayr b. Wahb
[ رُجُوعُهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يَدْعُو إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ] ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إنِّي كُنْتُ جَاهِدًا عَلَى إطْفَاءِ نُورِ اللَّهِ، شَدِيدَ الْأَذَى لِمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي، فَأَقْدَمَ مَكَّةَ، فَأَدْعُوهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ، وَإِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِيهِمْ، وَإِلَّا آذَيْتُهُمْ فِي دِينِهِمْ كَمَا كُنْتُ أُوذِي أَصْحَابَكَ فِي دِينِهِمْ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَلَحِقَ بِمَكَّةَ. وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ حِينَ خَرَجَ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، يَقُولُ: أَبْشِرُوا بِوَقْعَةٍ تَأْتِيكُمْ الْآنَ فِي أَيَّامٍ، تُنْسِيكُمْ وَقْعَةَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ الرُّكْبَانَ، حَتَّى قَدِمَ رَاكِبٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ إسْلَامِهِ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَهُ أَبَدًا، وَلَا يَنْفَعَهُ بِنَفْعِ أَبَدًا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عُمَيْرٌ مَكَّةَ، أَقَامَ بِهَا يَدْعُو إلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَيُؤْذِي مَنْ خَالَفَهُ أَذًى شَدِيدًا، فَأَسْلَمَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ
Translation
✧ [His return to Makkah calling to Islam] Then he said: O Messenger of God, I was striving to extinguish the light of God, causing severe harm to those who followed the religion of God, Mighty and Majestic. I would like you to permit me to go to Makkah and call them to God Almighty, to His Messenger ﷺ, and to Islam. Perhaps God will guide them; otherwise, I will harm them in their religion just as I used to harm your companions in their religion. He said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ gave him permission, and he reached Makkah. Ṣafwān b. Umayyah, when ʿUmayr b. Wahb departed, was saying: Rejoice at a battle that will come to you now within days, making you forget the battle of Badr. And Ṣafwān kept asking travelers about him, until a rider arrived and informed him of his conversion to Islam. He swore never to speak to him again and never to benefit him in any way. Ibn Isḥāq said: When ʿUmayr arrived in Makkah, he stayed there calling to Islam and causing severe harm to those who opposed him, and many people embraced Islam at his hands.
