2801. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ The Prophet ﷺ sent seventy men from the tribe of Banī Sulaīm to the tribe of Banī 'Āmir. When they reached there, my maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey the message of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (it will be all right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went ahead of them and the Mushrikūn granted him security. But while he was reporting the message of the Prophet ﷺ, they beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great)! By the Lord of the Ka'bah, I am successful." After that they attacked the rest of the party and killed them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain. (Hammām, a subnarrator said, "I think another man was also saved along with him"). Jibrīl (Gabriel) informed the Prophet ﷺ that they (i.e., the martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with them and made them pleased. We used to recite, "Inform our people that we have met our Lord, He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased." Later on this Qur'ānic Verse was abrogated (cancelled). The Prophet ﷺ invoked Allāh for forty days to curse the murderers from the tribe of Ri'l, Dhākwan, Banī Lihyān and Banī 'Uṣaiyya who disobeyed Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ.

2801 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرُ الحَوْضِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى بَنِي عَامِرٍ فِي سَبْعِينَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا قَالَ لَهُمْ خَالِي: أَتَقَدَّمُكُمْ فَإِنْ أَمَّنُونِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِلَّا كُنْتُمْ مِنِّي قَرِيبًا، فَتَقَدَّمَ فَأَمَّنُوهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا يُحَدِّثُهُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أَوْمَئُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فَطَعَنَهُ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الكَعْبَةِ، ثُمَّ مَالُوا عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَتَلُوهُمْ إِلَّا رَجُلًا أَعْرَجَ صَعِدَ الجَبَلَ، قَالَ هَمَّامٌ: فَأُرَاهُ آخَرَ مَعَهُ، «فَأَخْبَرَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ لَقُوا رَبَّهُمْ، فَرَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ، وَأَرْضَاهُمْ»، فَكُنَّا نَقْرَأُ: أَنْ بَلِّغُوا قَوْمَنَا أَنْ قَدْ لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا، وَأَرْضَانَا ثُمَّ نُسِخَ بَعْدُ، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ وَبَنِي عُصَيَّةَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
