English translation
[4624] 86 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Rabâh said: We came to Mu'âwiyah bin Abî Sufyân, and Abû Hurairah was among us. Each man among us used to make food one day for his companions, and it was my turn. I said: O Abû Hurairah, today is my day.. They came to the place, but the food was not yet ready. I said: O Abû Hurairah, why don't you narrate to us something from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ until our food is ready? He said: We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the day of the conquest (of Makkah). He (ﷺ) put Khâlid bin Al-Walîd in charge of the right flank and Az-Zubair on the left, and he put Abû 'Ubaidah in charge of the foot soldiers who (were to advance to) the bottom of the valley. Then he said: "O
Abû Hurairah, call the Anṣâr for me.” So I called them and they came rushing. He said: “O Anṣâr, do you see the followers of Quraish?” They said: Yes. He said: “Look, when you meet them tomorrow, mow them down,” and he gestured with his hand, placing his right hand on top of his left. And he said: “Meet us at Aṣ-Ṣafa.” And any of them whom they saw was killed. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ climbed up Aṣ-Ṣafa, and the Anṣâr came and surrounded Aṣ-Ṣafa. Abû Sufyân came and said: O Messenger of Allâh, Quraish have perished; there will be no more Quraish after this day. Abû Sufyân said: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “Whoever enters the house of Abû Sufyân will be safe. Whoever throws down his arms will be safe. Whoever locks his door will be safe.” The Anṣâr said: The man has been overtaken by compassion for his tribe and love for his city. The Revelation came down to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: “You said: The man has been overtaken by compassion for his tribe and love for his city. So what is my name then? (and he said it) - three times - I am Muhammad, the slave of Allâh and His Messenger. I emigrated for the sake of Allâh and to you, and I will live with you and die with you.” They said: By Allâh,
we only said that out of devotion to Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Allâh and His Messenger affirm your sincerity and accept your apology."

٨٦ - (١٧٨٠) حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ. حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ حَسَّانَ. حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ. أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ. قَالَ: وَفَدْنَا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ. وَفِينَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ. فَكَانَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا يَوْمًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ. فَكَانَتْ نَوْبَتِي. فقلت: يا أبا هريرة! اليوم نوبتي. فجاؤوا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ طَعَامُنَا. فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ طَعَامُنَا. فَقَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ. فَجَعَلَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى الْمُجَنِّبَةِ الْيُمْنَى. وَجَعَلَ الزُّبَيْرَ عَلَى الْمُجَنِّبَةِ الْيُسْرَى. وَجَعَلَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ عَلَى الْبَيَاذِقَةِ وَبَطْنِ الْوَادِي. فَقَالَ (يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! ادْعُ لِي الْأَنْصَارَ) فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ. فَجَاءُوا يُهَرْوِلُونَ. فَقَالَ (يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، هَلْ تَرَوْنَ أَوْبَاشَ قُرَيْشٍ؟) قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ (انْظُرُوا. إِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ غَدًا أَنْ تَحْصُدُوهُمْ حَصْدًا) وَأَخْفَى بِيَدِهِ. وَوَضَعَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ. وَقَالَ (مَوْعِدُكُمْ الصَّفَا) قَالَ: فَمَا أَشْرَفَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَنَامُوهُ. قَالَ: وَصَعِدَ
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّفَا. وجاءت الأنصار. فأطافوا بالصفا. فجاء أبا سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أُبِيدَتْ خَضْرَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ. لَا قُرَيْشَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ. قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (مَنْ دَخَلَ دَارَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ. وَمَنْ أَلْقَى السِّلَاحَ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ. وَمَنْ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ) فَقَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ: أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُ رَأْفَةٌ بِعَشِيرَتِهِ. وَرَغْبَةٌ فِي قَرْيَتِهِ. وَنَزَلَ الْوَحْيُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ (قُلْتُمْ: أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُ رَأْفَةٌ بِعَشِيرَتِهِ وَرَغْبَةٌ فِي قَرْيَتِهِ. أَلَا فَمَا اسْمِي إِذًا! (ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ) أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ. هَاجَرْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ. فَالْمَحْيَا مَحْيَاكُمْ وَالْمَمَاتُ مَمَاتُكُمْ). قَالُوا: وَاللَّهِ! مَا قُلْنَا إِلَّا ضِنًّا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ. قَالَ (فإن الله ورسوله يصدقانكم ويعذرانكم).
