حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، وَعَفَّانُ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَكَتَبَ كِتَابًا بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: اشْهَدُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْقُرَّاءِ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ: فَكَأَنِّي كَرِهْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ: لَوْ سَمَّيْتَهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ قَالَ: وَمَا بَأْسُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ، ، أَقُولَ (١) لَكُمْ قُرَّاءٌ، أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ إِخْوَانِكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِمْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقُرَّاءَ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا سَبْعِينَ، فَكَانُوا إِذَا جَنَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ، انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى مُعَلِّمٍ لَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَيَدْرُسُونَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحُوا (٢) ، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحُوا فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ اسْتَعْذَبَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَأَصَابَ مِنَ الْحَطَبِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَعَةٌ اجْتَمَعُوا، فَاشْتَرَوْا الشَّاةَ، فَأَصْلَحُوهَا فَيُصْبِحُ ذَلِكَ مُعَلَّقًا بِحُجَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ خُبَيْبٌ، بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ، وَفِيهِمْ خَالِي حَرَامٌ، فَقَالَ حِرَامٌ لِأَمِيرِهِمْ: دَعْنِي فَلْأُخْبِرْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاهُمْ نُرِيدُ، حَتَّى يُخَلُّوا وَجْهَنَا، - وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: فَيُخَلُّونَ وَجْهَنَا -، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ حَرَامٌ: إِنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاكُمْ نُرِيدُ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ بِالرُّمْحِ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ الرُّمْحَ فِي جَوْفِهِ قَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ. قَالَ: فَانْطَوَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: " فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ، وَجْدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّمَا صَلَّى (٣) الْغَدَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ (٤) فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ "، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَقُولُ لِي: هَلْ، ، لَكَ فِي قَاتِلِ حَرَامٍ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا لَهُ فَعَلَ اللهُ بِهِ وَفَعَلَ قَالَ: مَهْلًا، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ، وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: رَفَعَ يَدَهُ (١) يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ، وقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ (٢) (٣)،
Translation
English translation
Thabit says that once we were sitting with Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he wrote a letter to his family and said, "O group of reciters! Bear witness to this." I did not like this, so I said, "O Abu Hamza! Would it not be better if you mentioned their names?" He replied, "If I have called you reciters, there is no harm in it. Shall I not tell you about those brothers of mine whom we used to call reciters in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? They were seventy individuals, who, when night fell, would go to their teacher in Madinah Munawwarah and spend the whole night reciting. In the morning, those who had the strength would drink sweet water and go to cut wood. Those who could not afford it would gather together, buy a goat, slaughter and clean it, and in the morning hang it near the chambers of the Prophet (peace be upon him). When Khubaib (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent them. They reached a tribe of Banu Sulaim, among them was my maternal uncle 'Haram.' He said to their leader, 'Allow me to go and tell them that we do not wish to harm them, so that they may let us pass.' With permission, he conveyed this message to them. While he was delivering this message, a man came from the front with a spear and pierced him through. When the spear was thrust into his stomach, he fell saying, 'Allahu Akbar, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! I have succeeded.' Then they were attacked, and not a single man among them survived. I have never seen the Prophet (peace be upon him) as grieved over any incident as he was over this one, and I saw that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would raise his hands in the Fajr prayer and supplicate against them. Some time later, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, 'Shall I tell you the whereabouts of the killer of Haram?' I said, 'Certainly, tell me, may Allah do such and such to him.' He said, 'Wait, for he has become a Muslim.'"
