"عَنْ أَبِى رَافِعٍ قَالَ: وَجَّهَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ جَيْشًا إِلَى الرُّومِ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْد اللَّه بْنُ حُذَافَةَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَأَسَرَهُ الرُّومُ فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى مَلكِهِمْ فَقَالُوا (لَهُ) (): إِنَّ هَذَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الطَّاغِيَةُ: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَنَصَّر وَأُشْرِكَكَ في مُلْكِى وسُلْطَانِى؟ (فَ) ( ) قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّه: لَوْ أَعْطَيْتَنِى جميعَ مَا تَمْلِكُ وجَمِيعَ مَا مَلكَتْهُ الْعَرَبُ عَلَى أَنْ أَرْجِعَ عَنْ دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ مَا فَعَلْتُ! قَالَ: إِذَنْ أقتلك، قَالَ: أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ! فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَصُلِبَ، وَقَالَ للرُّمَاةِ: ارْمُوهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ يَدَيْهِ، قَرِيبًا مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَأبَى، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُنْزِلَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِقِدْرٍ فَصَبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً حَتَّى احْتَرَقَتْ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِأَسِيرَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَمَرَ بِأَحَدِهما فَأُلْقِى فِيهَا وَهُو يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ وهُوَ يَأبَى، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِيهَا، فَلَمَّا ذُهِبَ بِهِ بَكَى، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَكَى، فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ جَزعَ فَقَالَ: رُدُّوهُ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْه النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ فَأَبَى، قَالَ: فَمَا أَبْكَاكَ إِذَنْ؟ قَالَ: أَبْكَانِى أَنِّى قُلْتُ: هِى نَفْسٌ وَاحِدَةٌ تُلْقَى السَّاعَةَ في هَذَا الْقِدْرِ فَتَذْهَبُ، فَكُنْتُ أَشْتَهِى أَنْ يَكُونَ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ في جَسَدِى نَفْسٌ تُلْقَى في اللَّه، قَالَ لَهُ الطَّاغِيَةُ: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تُقَبِّل رَأسِى وَأُخْلِى سَبِيلَكَ ()؟ قَالَ لَهُ عُبْدُ اللَّه: وَعَنْ جَمِيع أُسَارَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ قَالَ: وَعَنْ جَمِيع أُسَارَى الْمُسْلِمينَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّه: فَقُلْتُ في نَفْسِى: (عَدُوٌّ) ( ) مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ (اللَّه) ( ) أُقَبِّلُ رَأسَهُ يُخْلِى عَنِّى وَعَنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، لَا أُبَالِى، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَبَّل رَأسَهُ، فَدفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الأُسَارَى فقَدِمَ بِهِمْ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرَ عُمَرَ بِخَبَرِهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: حَقٌّ (عَلَى) ( ) كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُقَبِّلَ رَأسَ عَبدِ اللَّه بْنِ حُذَافَةَ، وأَنَا أَبْدَأُ، فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَبَّلَ رَأسَهُ".

"From Abu Rafi' who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab sent an army to the Romans, and among them was a man called 'Abdullah ibn Hudhafah, one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. The Romans captured him and took him to their king, and they said to him: 'This is one of the companions of Muhammad.' The tyrant said to him: 'Would you become Christian, and I would make you a partner in my kingdom and my rule?' 'Abdullah said to him: 'If you gave me everything you own and everything the Arabs possess, on condition that I abandon the religion of Muhammad ﷺ for the blink of an eye, I would not do it!' He said: 'Then I will kill you.' He said: 'You do as you wish!' So he ordered him to be crucified, and said to the archers: 'Shoot at him, close to his hands, close to his feet,' while he offered him [Christianity] and he refused. Then he ordered him to be taken down. Then he called for a cauldron, filled it with water, and it was heated until it boiled. Then he called for two Muslim prisoners and ordered one of them to be thrown into it, while he offered him Christianity and he refused. Then he ordered that he be thrown in. When he was taken away, he wept. It was said to him: 'He has wept,' so he thought he was distressed and said: 'Bring him back.' He offered him Christianity and he refused. He said: 'Then what made you weep?' He said: 'What made me weep is that I said: this soul will be thrown into this cauldron right now and perish. I wished that there were as many souls in my body as there are hairs, all thrown into the cauldron for the sake of Allah.' The tyrant said to him: 'Would you kiss my head and I will release you?' 'Abdullah said to him: 'And [release] all the Muslim prisoners?' He said: 'And all the Muslim prisoners.' 'Abdullah said: 'I said to myself: an enemy of the enemies of Allah, I will kiss his head and he will release me and the Muslim prisoners; I do not mind.' So he drew near to him and kissed his head, and he handed over the prisoners to him. He came with them to 'Umar and informed 'Umar of his story. 'Umar said: 'It is the right of every Muslim to kiss the head of 'Abdullah ibn Hudhafah, and I will begin.' So 'Umar stood and kissed his head."
