حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَفَّافُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ عَقِيلِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

✧ Ka'b b. al-Ashraf, the Jew, was a poet. He used to satirize the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions and incite the disbelievers of Quraysh against them in his poetry. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah, its people were a mixture: among them were Muslims united by the call of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; among them were polytheists who worshipped idols; among them were Jews; and among them were people of the forts and strongholds, allies of the two tribes, Aws and Khazraj. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, he wanted to reform them and make peace with them. A man might be a Muslim while his father was a polytheist, and a man might be a Muslim while his brother was a polytheist. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, the polytheists and Jews of Madinah used to harm the Prophet ﷺ and his companions severely. Allah commanded His Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims to bear that patiently and to pardon them. Concerning them Allah, exalted be He, revealed: 'You will surely hear from those who were given the Book before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse' up to His saying 'of matters requiring resolve.' And concerning them Allah, exalted be He, revealed: 'Many of the People of the Book wish they could turn you back to disbelief after your faith' up to His saying 'until Allah brings His command.' When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf refused to desist from harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Sa'd b. Mu'adh, Muhammad b. Maslamah al-Ansari, then al-Harithi, Abu 'Isa b. Habr al-Ansari, and al-Harith, the nephew of Sa'd b. Mu'adh—in a group of five men. They came to him in the evening at his gathering place in al-'Awali. When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf saw them, he sensed something wrong and was alarmed by them. He said to them, 'What has brought you?' They said, 'A need we have brought to you.' He said, 'Let some of you come near me and tell me about it.' Some of them came near him and said, 'We have come to you to sell you some of our coats of mail so that we might use their price.' He said, 'By Allah, if you do that, you have been in hardship since this man came among you.' He promised them that they should come to him at night when people had dispersed. So they came to him, and one of them called out to him. He got up to go out to them. His wife said, 'They have not come to you at this hour with anything you will like.' He said, 'Yes, they have told me their story.' So he went out to them. Muhammad b. Maslamah embraced him and said to his companions, 'Do not let him get away from you, even if you kill me and him together.' One of them stabbed him with a sword in his side. When they killed him, the Jews and those polytheists with them were alarmed. They came to the Prophet ﷺ in the morning and said, 'Our companion was attacked last night—he was one of our chiefs—and he was killed treacherously.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ reminded them of what he used to say in his poetry and how he used to harm them with it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited them to write a document between him and them and the Muslims at large containing the general affairs of the people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote it.
