حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُدَيْجُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ:
" بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَنَحْنُ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا، وَمَعَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ، وَبَعَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عُمَارَةَ وَعَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ، وَبَعَثُوا مَعَهُمَا هَدِيَّةً إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ سَجَدَا لَهُ، وَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ الْهَدِيَّةَ، وَقَالَا: إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا رَغِبُوا عَنْ دِينِنَا، وَقَدْ نَزَلُوا أَرْضَكَ، قَالَ: فَأَيْنَ هُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: هُمْ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّجَاشِيُّ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ: أَنَا خَطِيبُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، فَاتَّبَعُوهُ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَلَمْ يَسْجُدُوا لَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَسْجُدُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا أَلَّا نَسْجُدَ إِلَّا لِلهِ، فَقَالَ النَّجَاشِيُّ: وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ فَأُخْبِرَ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ: إِنَّهُمْ يُخَالِفُونَكَ فِي عِيسَى، قَالَ: فَمَا تَقُولُونَ فِي عِيسَى وَأُمِّهِ ؟ قَالَ: نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، هُوَ رُوحُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الْعَذْرَاءِ الْبَتُولِ، الَّتِي لَمْ يَمْسَسْهَا بَشَرٌ، وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْهَا وَلَدٌ، فَتَنَاوَلَ النَّجَاشِيُّ عُودًا فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْقِسِّيسِينَ وَالرُّهْبَانِ، مَا تَزِيدُونَ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ مَا يَزِنُ هَذِهِ، فَمَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ وَبِمَنْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَهُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي عِنْدَهُ فَأَحْمِلُ نَعْلَيْهِ، أَوْ قَالَ: أَخْدِمُهُ، فَانْزِلُوا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِي، فَجَاءَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَبَادَرَ، فَشَهِدَ بَدْرًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us to the Negus, and we were eighty men. With us were Ja'far b. Abi Talib and Uthman b. Maz'un. Quraysh sent Umara and Amr b. al-As, and they sent a gift with them to the Negus. When they entered upon him, they prostrated to him and presented the gift. They said: 'Some people from our tribe have turned away from our religion and have settled in your land.' He said: 'Where are they?' They said: 'They are in your land.' So the Negus sent for them. Ja'far said: 'I am your spokesman today.' So they followed him until they entered upon the Negus, and they did not prostrate to him. He said: 'What is wrong with you that you do not prostrate to the king?' He said: 'Allah, mighty and glorious, sent His Prophet ﷺ to us and commanded us not to prostrate except to Allah.' The Negus said: 'And what is that?' He was informed, and Amr b. al-As said: 'They disagree with you about Jesus.' He said: 'What do you say about Jesus and his mother?' He said: 'We say as Allah, mighty and glorious, said: He is the Spirit of Allah and His word that He cast to the chaste virgin, whom no human touched and no child rent.' The Negus picked up a stick and said: 'O assembly of priests and monks, you do not add to what they say even the weight of this.' He said: 'Welcome to you and to the one from whom you came. I bear witness that he is a prophet, and I wish I were with him so that I could carry his sandals—or he said: serve him. So settle wherever you wish in my land.' Ibn Mas'ud came and hurried, and he witnessed Badr.
