Sirat Ibn Hisham 937
Incitement to fight the Messenger
[ مَا كَانَ مِنْ مِرْبَعٍ حِينَ سَلَكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَائِطَهُ ] ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ بِنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ كَثَبٍ: أَيْ مِنْ قُرْبٍ، مِنْ طَرِيقٍ لَا يَمُرُّ بِنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ أَخُو بَنِي حَارِثَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَنَفَذَ بِهِ فِي حَرَّةِ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، وَبَيْنَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، حَتَّى سَلَكَ فِي مَالٍ لِمِرْبَعِ بْنِ قَيْظِيٍّ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مُنَافِقًا ضَرِيرَ الْبَصَرِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ حِسَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَامَ يَحْثِي فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ التُّرَابَ، وَيَقُولُ: إنْ كُنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ حَائِطِي. وَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ تُرَابٍ فِي يَدِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَاَللَّهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي لَا أُصِيبُ بِهَا غَيْرَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَضَرَبْتُ بِهَا وَجْهَكَ. فَابْتَدَرَهُ الْقَوْمُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ، فَهَذَا الْأَعْمَى أَعْمَى الْقَلْبِ، أَعْمَى الْبَصَرِ وَقَدْ بَدَرَ إلَيْهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَخُو بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، قَبْلَ نَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْهُ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِالْقَوْسِ فِي رَأْسِهِ، فَشَجَّهُ
Translation
✧ [What happened with Mirbaʿ when the Muslims went through his walled garden] Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said to his companions: "Which man will bring us out against the people from a close distance—that is, from near—by a path that does not take us past them?" Abū Khaythamah, the brother of the Banū Ḥārithah b. al-Ḥārith, said: "I will, O Messenger of God." So he took him through the ḥarrah of the Banū Ḥārithah and among their properties, until he went into a property belonging to Mirbaʿ b. Qayẓī, who was a hypocrite, blind of sight. When he heard the sound of the Messenger of God ﷺ and the Muslims with him, he stood up throwing dust in their faces and saying: "If you are the Messenger of God, then I will not permit you to enter my walled garden." It has been mentioned to me that he took a handful of dust in his hand, then said: "By God, if I knew that I would strike no one but you with it, O Muḥammad, I would strike your face with it." The people rushed to kill him, but the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Do not kill him, for this blind man is blind of heart, blind of sight." Saʿd b. Zayd, the brother of the Banū ʿAbd al-Ashhal, had already rushed at him before the Messenger of God ﷺ forbade it, and struck him with a bow on his head, wounding him.
