4091. Narrated Anas that the Prophet ﷺ sent his uncle, the brother of Umm Sulaim as the head of seventy riders. The chief of Al-Mushrikūn, ‘Āmir bin At-Tufail proposed three suggestions (to the Prophet ﷺ) saying, “Choose one of three alternatives: (1) that the bedouins will be under your command and the towns’ people will be under my command; (2) or that I will be your successor, (3) or otherwise I will attack you with two thousand men from Banī Ghaṭafān.” But ‘Āmir was infected with plague in the house of Umm so-and-so. He said, “Shall I stay in the house of a lady from the family of so-and-so after having a (swelled) gland like that she-camel? Get me my horse.” So he died on the back of his horse. Then Ḥarām, the brother of Umm Sulaim and a lame man along with another man from so-and-so (tribe) went towards Al-Mushrikūn (i.e., the tribe of ‘Āmir). Ḥarām said (to his companions), “Stay near to me, for I will go to them. If they (i.e., infidels) should give me protection, you will be near to me, and if they should kill me, then you should go back to your companions. Then Ḥarām went to them and said, “Will you give me protection so as to convey the message of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ?” So, he started talking to them but they signalled to a man (to kill him) and he went behind him and stabbed him (with a spear). He (i.e., Ḥarām) said, “Allāhu Akbar! I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka’bah!” The companion of Ḥarām was pursued by the infidels, and then they (i.e., Ḥarām’s companions) were all killed except the lame man who was at the top of a mountain. Then Allāh revealed to us a verse that was among the cancelled ones later on. It was: ‘We have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has made us pleased.' (After this event) the Prophet ﷺ invoked evil on the infidels every morning for 30 days. He invoked evil upon the (tribes of) Ri'l, Dhakwān, Banī Liḥyān and Uṣāiyya who disobeyed Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ.

4091 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسٌ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَعَثَ خَالَهُ، أَخٌ لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، فِي سَبْعِينَ رَاكِبًا» وَكَانَ رَئِيسَ المُشْرِكِينَ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ، خَيَّرَ بَيْنَ ثَلاَثِ خِصَالٍ، فَقَالَ: يَكُونُ لَكَ أَهْلُ السَّهْلِ وَلِي أَهْلُ المَدَرِ، أَوْ أَكُونُ خَلِيفَتَكَ، أَوْ أَغْزُوكَ بِأَهْلِ غَطَفَانَ بِأَلْفٍ وَأَلْفٍ؟ فَطُعِنَ عَامِرٌ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ فُلاَنٍ، فَقَالَ: غُدَّةٌ كَغُدَّةِ البَكْرِ، فِي بَيْتِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ آلِ فُلاَنٍ، ائْتُونِي بِفَرَسِي، فَمَاتَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَرَامٌ أَخُو أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَجُ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ، قَالَ: كُونَا قَرِيبًا حَتَّى آتِيَهُمْ فَإِنْ آمَنُونِي كُنْتُمْ، وَإِنْ قَتَلُونِي أَتَيْتُمْ أَصْحَابَكُمْ، فَقَالَ: أَتُؤْمِنُونِي أُبَلِّغْ رِسَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ، وَأَوْمَئُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ، فَأَتَاهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَطَعَنَهُ، - قَالَ هَمَّامٌ أَحْسِبُهُ - حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ بِالرُّمْحِ، قَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الكَعْبَةِ، فَلُحِقَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقُتِلُوا كُلُّهُمْ غَيْرَ الأَعْرَجِ، كَانَ فِي رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا، ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ المَنْسُوخِ: إِنَّا قَدْ لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا وَأَرْضَانَا «فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَلاَثِينَ صَبَاحًا، عَلَى رِعْلٍ، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ، الَّذِينَ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
