4072. It was narrated from Muṣ'ab bin Sa'd that his father said: "On the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ granted amnesty to the people, except four men and two women. He said: 'Kill them, even if you find them clinging to the covers of Ka'bah.' (They were) 'Ikrimah bin Abī Jahl, 'Abdullāh bin Khaṭal, Miqyas bin Ṣubābah and 'Abdullāh bin Sa'd bin Abī As-Sarḥ. 'Abdullāh bin Khaṭl was caught while he was clinging to the covers of Ka'bah. Sa'eed bin Ḥuraith and 'Ammār bin Yāsir both rushed toward him, but Sa'eed, who was the younger of the two, got there before 'Ammār, and he killed him. Miqyas bin Ṣubābah was caught by the people in the marketplace, and they killed him. 'Ikrimah traveled by sea, and he was caught in a storm. The crew of the
ship said: 'Turn sincerely toward Allāh, for your (false) gods cannot help you at all in this situation.' Ikrimah said: 'By Allāh, if nothing came to save me at sea except sincerity toward Allāh then nothing else will save me on land. O Allāh, I promise You that if You save me from this predicament I will go to Muḥammad ﷺ and put my hand in his, and I am sure that I will find him generous and forgiving.' So he came, and accepted Islam. 'Abdullāh (bin Sa'd) bin Abī Sarḥ hid in the house of 'Uthmān bin 'Affān, and when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called the people to give their Oath of Allegiance, he brought him, and made him stand before the Prophet ﷺ. He ('Uthmān) said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Accept the allegiance of 'Abdullāh.' He raised his head and looked at him three times, refusing his allegiance each time, then he accepted his allegiance after three times. Then he turned to his Companions and said: "Was there not any sensible man among you who would get up when he saw me refusing to give him my hand and kill him?" They said: "We did not know, O Messenger of Allāh, what was in your heart. Why did you not gesture to us with your eyes?" He said: 'It is not befitting for a Prophet that his eyes be deceitful.'" (Hasan)
