وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ الْغُبَرِيُّ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ - ؓ قَالَ:

كَانَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ عَبْدًا لِلْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ الرَّحَا، وَكَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ يَسْتَغِلُّهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَرْبَعَةَ دَرَاهِمَ، فَلَقِيَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ عُمَرَ ؓ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ قَدْ أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ غَلَّتِي، فَكَلِّمْهُ يُخَفِّفْ عَنِّي، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ؓ: اتَّقِ اللهَ تَعَالَى، وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى مَوْلَاكَ، وَمِنْ نِيَّةِ عُمَرَ ؓ أَنْ يَلْقَى الْمُغِيرَةَ فَيُكَلِّمَهُ، فَيُخَفِّفَ عَنْهُ، فَغَضِبَ الْعَبْدُ، وَقَالَ: وَسِعَ النَّاسَ عَدْلُهُ كُلُّهُمْ غَيْرِي، فَأَضْمَرَ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ، فَاصْطَنَعَ خِنْجَرًا لَهُ رَأْسَانِ، وَشَحَذَهُ وَسَمَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى بِهِ الْهُرْمُزَانَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ تَرَى هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: أَرَى أَنَّكَ لَا تَضْرِبُ بِهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا قَتَلْتَهُ، فَتَحَيَّنَ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ، فَجَاءَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، حَتَّى قَامَ وَرَاءَ عُمَرَ ؓ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَتَكَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ، فَذَهَبَ يَقُولُ كَمَا كَانَ يَقُولُ، فَلَمَّا كَبَّرَ وَجَأَهُ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ فِي كَتِفِهِ، وَوَجَأَهُ فِي خَاصِرَتِهِ، فَسَقَطَ عُمَرُ ؓ، وَطَعَنَ بِخِنْجَرِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا، فَهَلَكَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ، وَجُرِحَ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةٌ، وَحُمِلَ عُمَرُ ؓ، فَذُهِبَ بِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ، وَمَاجَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ، فَنَادَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَفَزِعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَتَقَدَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ بِأَقْصَرِ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ، تَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ، فَدَعَا بِشَرَابٍ لِيَنْظُرَ مَا قَدْرُ جُرْحِهِ، فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ فَشَرِبَهُ، فَخَرَجَ مَنْ جُرْحِهِ، فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَنَبِيذٌ هُوَ أَمْ دَمٌ ؟ فَدَعَا ؓ بِلَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَهُ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْ جُرْحِهِ، فَقَالُوا: لَا بَأْسَ عَلَيْكَ، يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ ؓ: إِنْ يَكُنِ الْقَتْلُ بَأْسًا فَقَدْ قُتِلْتُ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ، وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا كَفَافًا، وَأَنَّ صُحْبَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَلِمَتْ لِي، فَتَكَلَّمَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ: لَا، وَاللهِ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا كَفَافًا، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَسْتَرِيحُ إِلَى كَلَامِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ: كَرِّرْ، فَكَرَّرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ ؓ: عَلَى مَا تَقُولُ، لَوْ أَنَّ لِي طِلَاعَ الْأَرْضِ لَافْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ هَوْلِ الْمَطْلَعِ

✧ Abu Lu'lu'ah was a slave of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah. He used to make millstones, and al-Mughirah used to take from him four dirhams every day. Abu Lu'lu'ah met Umar ؓ and said: O Commander of the Faithful, al-Mughirah has made my tax heavy; speak to him to lighten it for me. Umar ؓ said to him: Fear Allah, the Exalted, and be good to your master. Umar ؓ intended to meet al-Mughirah and speak to him to lighten it. The slave became angry and said: His justice has encompassed all the people except me. He resolved to kill him. He fashioned a dagger with two heads, sharpened it, and poisoned it. Then he brought it to al-Hurmuzan and said: How do you see this? He said: I see that you will not strike anyone with it except that you kill him. Abu Lu'lu'ah waited for an opportunity and came at the dawn prayer until he stood behind Umar ؓ. When the prayer was about to begin and someone spoke, Umar ؓ used to say: Straighten your rows. He went to say as he used to say, and when he said the takbir, Abu Lu'lu'ah stabbed him in his shoulder and stabbed him in his side. Umar ؓ fell, and he stabbed with his dagger thirteen men; seven of them died and six were wounded. Umar ؓ was carried and taken to his house. The people surged until the sun almost rose. Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf ؓ called out: O people, the prayer, the prayer. They rushed to the prayer, and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf ؓ stepped forward and led them with the two shortest surahs in the Quran. When he finished the prayer, they went to Umar ؓ. He called for a drink to see the extent of his wound. He was brought nabidh and drank it, and it came out of his wound, and they did not know whether it was nabidh or blood. He ؓ called for milk and drank it, and it came out of his wound. They said: No harm upon you, O Commander of the Faithful. He said ؓ: If killing is harm, then I have been killed. The people began to praise him, and he said: Despite what you say, I wish I had come out of it even, and that the companionship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is secure for me. Ibn Abbas ؓ spoke and said: No, by Allah, you will not come out of it even. And he mentioned the hadith. He said: Umar ؓ used to find rest in the words of Ibn Abbas ؓ, so he said: Repeat. He repeated it to him, and he said ؓ: Despite what you say, if I had the fill of the earth, I would ransom myself with it from the terror of the rising.
