حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعِيدٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْلًا قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ،، ، فَجَاءَتْ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ، ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ أُثَالٍ، سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، فَرَبَطُوهُ بِسَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " مَاذَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ؟ " قَالَ: عِنْدِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ خَيْرٌ، إِنْ تَقْتُلْ تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمٍ، وَإِنْ تُنْعِمْ تُنْعِمْ عَلَى شَاكِرٍ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَالَ فَسَلْ تُعْطَ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ، فَتَرَكَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ، قَالَ لَهُ: " مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ؟ " قَالَ: مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ: إِنْ تُنْعِمْ تُنْعِمْ عَلَى شَاكِرٍ، وَإِنْ تَقْتُلْ تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمٍ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَالَ فَسَلْ تُعْطَ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ، فَتَرَكَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى كَانَ بَعْدَ الْغَدِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ؟ " فَقَالَ: عِنْدِي مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ: إِنْ تُنْعِمْ تُنْعِمْ عَلَى شَاكِرٍ، وَإِنْ تَقْتُلْ تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمٍ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَالَ فَسَلْ تُعْطَ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " انْطَلِقُوا بِثُمَامَةَ "، فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى نَخْلٍ قَرِيبٍ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ (١) أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، يَا مُحَمَّدُ، وَاللهِ (٢) مَا كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهٌ الْأَرْضِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ وَجْهِكَ، فَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ وَجْهُكَ أَحَبَّ الْوُجُوهِ كُلِّهَا إِلَيَّ، وْوَاللهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ دِينٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيَّ، ، مِنْ دِينِكَ، فَأَصْبَحَ دِينُكَ أَحَبَّ الدِّينِ (١) إِلَيَّ، وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَلَدٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ بَلَدِكَ، فَأَصْبَحَ بَلَدُكَ أَحَبَّ الْبِلَادِ إِلَيَّ، وَإِنَّ خَيْلَكَ أَخَذَتْنِي وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ، فَمَاذَا تَرَى؟ فَبَشَّرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَمِرَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، قَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ: صَبَأْتَ، فَقَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ أَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَا وَاللهِ لَا يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَامَةِ حَبَّةُ حِنْطَةٍ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent a detachment towards Najd. The Muslims captured a man named Thumamah bin Uthal, who was the chief of Yamamah, an honorable and wealthy man, and imprisoned him. When he passed by the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet asked him, "Thumamah, what is your intention?" He replied, "If you kill me, you will be killing a person whose blood is precious. If you show kindness to me, you will be showing kindness to a grateful person. And if you desire wealth, you will get it." Whenever the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) passed by him, he would ask him the same question, and he would give the same answer as before. One day, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Release Thumamah." The people, at his request, took him to a well belonging to the Ansar and gave him a bath. Then he recited the testimony of faith and said, "O Muhammad (ﷺ), until yesterday evening, there was no face more disliked by me than yours, no religion more disliked by me than your religion, and no city more disliked by me than your city. But now, your religion is the most beloved of all religions to me, your blessed face is the most beloved of all faces to me, and your city is the most beloved of all cities to me. Your horsemen had captured me while I was going with the intention of performing Umrah. Now, what is your opinion?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave him glad tidings and permitted him to perform Umrah. When he reached Makkah, someone said to him, "Have you also become irreligious?" He replied, "No, rather I have become a Muslim at the hand of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and by Allah, after today, not a single grain of food will reach you from Yamamah until the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) permits it."
