٣٧١٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ ‌حُبْشِيِّ بْنِ جُنَادَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلِيٌّ» مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَلَا يُؤَدِّي عَنِّي إِلَّا أَنَا أَوْ عَلِيٌّ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

In Arab society it was customary that if some tribe wanted to break a treaty, the head of the tribe had to do this job himself or some near relative had to be appointed to accomplish this work. When Sūrat Barā’ was revealed and it was commanded that the treaty between the Prophet ﷺ and the Mushrikūn of Makkah be broken or kept for sometime, the Prophet ﷺ in 9 A.H., had already made Abū Bakr the leader of the Hajj party and the party had left for Makkah. The Sūrah was revealed after their departure from Al-Madīnah, so the Prophet ﷺ sent ‘Ali, as the custom of the day, to deliver the message to the people of Makkah, but Abū Bakr kept his position as the leader of the Hajj party.
