What happened with b. Ubayy concerning the Messenger
[ مَا كَانَ مِنْ ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: فَحَاصَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِهِ، فَقَامَ إلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ، حِينَ أَمْكَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَحْسِنْ فِي مَوَالِيَّ، وَكَانُوا حُلَفَاءَ الْخَزْرَجِ، قَالَ: فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَحْسِنْ فِي مُوَالِيَّ، قَالَ: فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ. فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي جَيْبِ دِرْعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهَا: ذَاتَ الْفُضُولِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَرْسِلْنِي، وَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَوْا لِوَجْهِهِ ظُلَلًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ أَرْسِلْنِي، قَالَ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ لَا أُرْسِلْكَ حَتَّى تُحْسِنَ فِي مُوَالِيَّ، أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ حَاسِرٍ وَثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ دَارِعٍ قَدْ مَنَعُونِي مِنْ الْأَحْمَرِ وَالْأَسْوَدِ، تَحْصُدُهُمْ فِي غَدَاةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، إنِّي وَاَللَّهِ امْرُؤٌ أَخْشَى الدَّوَائِرَ؛ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: هُمْ لَكَ. [ مُدَّةُ حِصَارِهِمْ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَاسْتَعْمَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي مُحَاصَرَتِهِ إيَّاهُمْ بَشِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ، وَكَانَتْ مُحَاصَرَتُهُ إيَّاهُمْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً
Translation
✧ [What took place between Ibn Ubayy and the Messenger] Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah related to me, saying: The Messenger of God ﷺ besieged them until they surrendered to his judgment. Then ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy b. Salūl rose before him, when God had enabled him against them, and said: “O Muḥammad, treat my clients well”—for they were allies of the Khazraj. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ delayed in answering him, so he said: “O Muḥammad, treat my clients well.” He said: He turned away from him. So he thrust his hand into the collar of the Messenger of God's ﷺ coat of mail. Ibn Hishām said: It was called Dhāt al-Fuḍūl. Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: “Let me go,” and the Messenger of God ﷺ became angry until they saw shadows on his face. Then he said: “Woe to you, let me go.” He said: “No, by God, I will not let you go until you treat my clients well—four hundred men without armor and three hundred with armor, who defended me from the red and the black. Would you mow them down in a single morning? By God, I am a man who fears the turns of fortune.” He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “They are yours.” [The duration of their siege] Ibn Hishām said: During his siege of them, the Messenger of God ﷺ appointed Bashīr b. ʿAbd al-Mundhir over Madinah, and his siege of them lasted fifteen nights.
