وَبِهِ، حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ: حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ
أَنَّ غَرَفَةَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، وَقَاتَلَ مَعَ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ بِالْيَمَنِ فِي الرِّدَّةِ، مَرَّ بِهِ نَصْرَانِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْمَنْدَقُونُ، فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَذَكَرَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ أَعْطَيْنَاهُمُ الْعَهْدَ، فَقَالَ غَرَفَةُ: مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْعُهُودُ وَالْمَوَاثِيقُ عَلَى أَنْ يُؤْذُونَا فِي اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، إِنَّمَا أَعْطَيْنَاهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يُخَلَّى بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ كَنَائِسِهِمْ، فَيَقُولُونَ فِيهَا مَا بَدَا لَهُمْ، وَأَلَّا نُحَمِّلَهُمْ مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَهُمْ بِهِ، وَأَنْ نُقَاتِلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَنُخَلِّي بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ أَحْكَامِهِمْ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتُونَا فَنَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ "، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ: " صَدَقْتَ "

- Ḥarmalah
- Kaʿb b. ʿAlqamah
✧ Ghurafa b. al-Harith—who was a Companion and fought with ʿIkrima b. Abī Jahl in Yemen during the Ridda—a Christian from the people of Miṣr called al-Mandaqūn passed by him, and he invited him to Islam. The Christian mentioned the Prophet ﷺ and reviled him. That was brought to ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ, so he sent for them and said: “We have given them a covenant.” Ghurafa said: “God forbid that covenants and pacts should be on condition that they revile us regarding God and His Messenger. We only gave them [the covenant] on condition that they be left alone with their churches, so they may say in them whatever they wish, and that we not burden them with what they cannot bear, and that we fight on their behalf, and that we leave them to their own judgments—unless they come to us so that we judge between them by what God has revealed.” ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ said: “You have spoken the truth.”
