4424. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent a letter to Kisra (Khosrau) with 'Abdullāh bin Ḥudhāfa As-Sahmī and told him to hand it over to the governor of Al-Bāhrain. The governor of Al-Bāhrain handed it over to Kisra, and when he read the letter, he tore it into pieces. [The subnarrator added, "I think that Ibn Al-Musa'iyab said, 'Allāh's Messenger ﷺ invoked (Allāh) to tear them all totally (Kisra and his companions) into pieces.'"]
4424 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: بَعَثَ بِكِتَابِهِ إِلَى كِسْرَى، مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ " فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ البَحْرَيْنِ، فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ البَحْرَيْنِ إِلَى كِسْرَى، فَلَمَّا قَرَأَهُ مَزَّقَهُ، فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّ ابْنَ المُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: «فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُمَزَّقُوا كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ»
