حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ أَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ قَالَ

✧ I disliked Quraysh harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I thought they would kill him, I left until I reached one of the monasteries. The people of the monastery went to their leader and told him, and he said: 'Give him the hospitality he deserves' three times. When three days passed and they saw he had not left, they went to their leader and told him. He said: 'Tell him we have fulfilled the duty of hospitality owed to you. If you are a guardian, then your ward has passed; if you are visiting kin, then you should go to those you visit; if you are a merchant, then you should go out to your trade.' He said: 'I am not visiting kin, nor a merchant, and I have no share [of such matters].' They went back and informed him, and he said: 'He must have some concern; ask him what it is.' They came and asked me. I said: 'No, by Allah, except that I am in the town of Abraham, and my cousin claims that he is a prophet, and his people have harmed him, and I feared they would kill him, so I left so as not to witness that.' They went to their leader and told him what I said. He said: 'Bring him.' I went to him and told him my story. He said: 'Do you fear they will kill him?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Would you recognize his likeness if you saw him in a picture?' I said: 'Yes, for I saw him recently.' He showed me covered pictures and began uncovering picture after picture, saying: 'Do you recognize?' and I said: 'No,' until he uncovered a covered picture, and I said: 'I have not seen anything more like this picture to him, as if it were his height, his body, and the distance between his shoulders.' He said: 'So you fear they will kill him?' I said: 'I think they have already finished him off.' He said: 'By Allah, they will not kill him, and he will surely kill whoever intends to kill him. He is indeed a prophet, and Allah will make him prevail. But our duty of hospitality to you is binding, so stay as long as you wish and ask for whatever you want.' He said: 'So I stayed with them for a while, then I said to myself: If I obey them and go to Makkah...' So I went, and I found that they had expelled the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Madinah. When I arrived, Quraysh came to me and said: 'Your affair has become clear to us, and we know your situation. Bring the wealth of the orphans which your father entrusted to you.' I said: 'I would not do that until you separate my head from my body, but let me go and deliver it to them.' They said: 'You have a covenant with Allah and His solemn pledge that you will not eat from his food.' He said: 'I came to Madinah, and the news had reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I entered upon him, and he said to me, among other things: "I see you are hungry. Bring food." I said: 'I will not eat until I tell you, and if you see fit for me to eat, then I will eat.' Then I told him what they had made me pledge. He said: "Fulfill your covenant with Allah, and do not eat from our food or drink from our drink."
