حَدِيثُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْفَغْوَاءِ (١)، ٢٢٤٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِيهِ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْفَغْوَاءِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنِي بِمَالٍ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَقْسِمُهُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ بِمَكَّةَ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " الْتَمِسْ صَاحِبًا (٢) ". قَالَ: فَجَاءَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ وَتَلْتَمِسُ صَاحِبًا. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَجَلْ.، ، قَالَ: فَأَنَا لَكَ صَاحِبٌ. قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ وَجَدْتُ صَاحِبًا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا وَجَدْتَ صَاحِبًا فَآذِنِّي ". قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " مَنْ؟ " قُلْتُ: عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " إِذَا هَبَطْتَ بِلَادَ قَوْمِهِ فَاحْذَرْهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ الْقَائِلُ: أَخُوكَ الْبَكْرِيُّ وَلَا تَأْمَنْهُ " قَالَ: فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ الْأَبْوَاءَ فَقَالَ لِي: إِنِّي أُرِيدُ حَاجَةً إِلَى قَوْمِي بِوَدَّانَ فَتَلَبَّثْ لِي: قَالَ: قُلْتُ: رَاشِدًا فَلَمَّا وَلَّى ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَدَدْتُ (١) عَلَى بَعِيرِي، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ أُوضِعُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ بَالْأَصَافِرِ إِذَا هُوَ يُعَارِضُنِي فِي رَهْطِهِ قَالَ: وَأَوْضَعْتُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي (٢) قَدْ فُتُّهُ (٣) انْصَرَفُوا وَجَاءَنِي قَالَ: كَانَتْ لِي إِلَى قَوْمِي حَاجَةٌ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَجَلْ فَمَضَيْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ، فَدَفَعْتُ الْمَالَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ (٤)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Faghwa (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the conquest of Makkah, one day the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called me. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to send some wealth to Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) in order to distribute it among the Quraysh in Makkah Mukarramah. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Find another companion for your journey." After a short while, Amr bin Umayyah Damri came to me and said, "I have heard that you are going on a journey and are looking for a companion?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "I will accompany you on the journey." I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I have found a companion," because the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) had said to me, "When you find a companion, inform me." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is he?" I replied, "He is Amr bin Umayyah Damri." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you camp in the area of his tribe, be cautious of him, because it is said, 'Do not consider yourself safe even from your real brother.'" Anyway, we set out. When we reached the place of Abwa, Amr said to me, "I have remembered some work among my people in Waddan, please wait for me." I said, "Of course, without hesitation." When he left, I remembered the instruction of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so I tied my belongings to my camel and quickly rode my camel out of that area. When I reached a place called Asafir, I saw him standing in my way with a group. I increased my speed further and escaped. When he saw that I had escaped from his hands, those people turned back, and Amr came to me and said, "I had some important work among my people." I said, "Very well." Then we set out from there and reached Makkah Mukarramah, and I handed over the wealth to Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him).
