English translation

2990. It was narrated from Hilāl bin Sirāj bin Mujjā'ah, from his father, from his grandfather Mujjā'ah, that he came to the Prophet ﷺ to ask for blood money for his brother, who had been killed by Banū Sadūs of Banū Dhuhl. The Prophet ﷺ said: “If I were to order blood money for an idolater, I would have ordered it for your brother, but I shall give you compensation for him.” The Prophet ﷺ wrote a document ordering that he be granted one hundred camels from the first Khumus to be taken from the idolaters of Banū Dhuhl. He took part of that, then Banū Dhuhl accepted Islam. Mujjā'ah asked Abū Bakr for them later on, and brought him the document of the Prophet ﷺ, and Abū Bakr ordered that he be given twelve thousand Sā' from the Ṣadaqah of Al-Yamamah: Four thousand Sā' of wheat, four thousand Sā' of barley, and four thousand Sā' of dates. In the document of the Prophet ﷺ to Mujjā'ah, it said: "In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, this is a letter from Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ to Mujjā'ah bin Murārah of Banū Sulmā. I have granted him one hundred camels from the first Khumus taken from the idolaters of Banū Dhuhl, as compensation for his brother." (Da'if)

2990 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، قَالَ: أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيسَى، كُنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّه مِنَ الأَبْدَالِ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْمَعَ أَنَّ الْأَبْدَالَ مِنَ المَوَالِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الدَّخِيلُ بْنُ إِيَاسِ بْنِ نُوحِ بْنِ مُجَّاعَةَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ سِرَاجِ بْنِ مُجَّاعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ مُجَّاعَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَطْلُبُ دِيَةَ أَخِيهِ قَتَلَتْهُ بَنُو سَدُوسٍ مِنْ بَنِي ذُهْلٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كُنْتُ جَاعِلًا لِمُشْرِكٍ دِيَةً جَعَلْتُ لِأَخِيكَ، وَلَكِنْ سَأُعْطِيكَ مِنْهُ عُقْبَى» فَكَتَبَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، مِنْ أَوَّلِ خُمُسٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مُشْرِكِي بَنِي ذُهْلٍ، فَأَخَذَ طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا، وَأَسْلَمَتْ بَنُو ذُهْلٍ فَطَلَبَهَا بَعْدُ مُجَّاعَةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَأَتَاهُ بِكِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ صَدَقَةِ الْيَمَامَةِ، أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ بُرًّا، وَأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ شَعِيرًا، وَأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ تَمْرًا، وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمُجَّاعَةَ: «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ لِمُجَّاعَةَ بْنِ مَرَارَةَ مِنْ بَنِي سُلْمَى، إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ خُمُسٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ مُشْرِكِي بَنِي ذُهْلٍ عُقْبَةً مِنْ أَخِيهِ»
