3864. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: While 'Umar was at home in a state of fear, there came Al-'Āš bin Wā'il As-Sahmī Abū 'Amr, wearing an embroidered cloak and a shirt having silk hems. He was from the tribe of Banī Sahm who were our allies during the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance. Al-'Āš said to 'Umar, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "Your people claim that they would kill me if I become a Muslim." Al-'Āš said, "Nobody will harm you after I have given protection to you." So Al-'Āš went out and met the people streaming in the whole valley. He said, "Where are you going?" They said, "We want Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb who has embraced Islām." Al-'Āš said, "There is no way for anybody to touch him." So the people retreated.

3864 - حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي جَدِّي زَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي الدَّارِ خَائِفًا، إِذْ جَاءَهُ العَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيُّ أَبُو عَمْرٍو، عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةُ حِبَرَةٍ وَقَمِيصٌ مَكْفُوفٌ بِحَرِيرٍ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ، وَهُمْ حُلَفَاؤُنَا فِي الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا بَالُكَ؟ قَالَ: " زَعَمَ قَوْمُكَ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَقْتُلُونِي إِنْ أَسْلَمْتُ، قَالَ: لاَ سَبِيلَ إِلَيْكَ، بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا أَمِنْتُ، فَخَرَجَ العَاصِ فَلَقِيَ النَّاسَ قَدْ سَالَ بِهِمُ الوَادِي، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ؟ فَقَالُوا: نُرِيدُ هَذَا ابْنَ الخَطَّابِ الَّذِي صَبَا، قَالَ: لاَ سَبِيلَ إِلَيْهِ فَكَرَّ النَّاسُ "
