حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ رَافِعٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَكِبَ حِمَارًا عَلَيْهِ إِكَافٌ تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةٌ فَدَكِيَّةٌ وَأَرْدَفَ وَرَاءَهُ أُسَامَةَ وَهُوَ يَعُودُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ فِى بَنِى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَذَاكَ قَبْلَ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِمَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ أَخْلاَطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ عَبَدَةِ الأَوْثَانِ وَالْيَهُودِ فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ وَفِى الْمَجْلِسِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَتِ الْمَجْلِسَ عَجَاجَةُ الدَّابَّةِ خَمَّرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ أَنْفَهُ بِرِدَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُغَبِّرُوا عَلَيْنَا. فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَنَزَلَ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ أَيُّهَا الْمَرْءُ لاَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا إِنْ كَانَ مَا تَقُولُ حَقًّا فَلاَ تُؤْذِنَا فِى مَجَالِسِنَا وَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَحْلِكَ فَمَنْ جَاءَكَ مِنَّا فَاقْصُصْ عَلَيْهِ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ اغْشَنَا فِى مَجَالِسِنَا فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ فَاسْتَبَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْيَهُودُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَتَوَاثَبُوا فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُخَفِّضُهُمْ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ « أَىْ سَعْدُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ إِلَى مَا قَالَ أَبُو حُبَابٍ - يُرِيدُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ - قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ». قَالَ اعْفُ عَنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاصْفَحْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ الَّذِى أَعْطَاكَ وَلَقَدِ اصْطَلَحَ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْبُحَيْرَةِ أَنْ يُتَوِّجُوهُ فَيُعَصِّبُوهُ بِالْعِصَابَةِ فَلَمَّا رَدَّ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِى أَعْطَاكَهُ شَرِقَ بِذَلِكَ فَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِهِ مَا رَأَيْتَ. فَعَفَا عَنْهُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.

It was narrated from 'Urwah, that Usamah bin Zaid told him that the Prophet (s.a.w) rode a donkey, on which was a saddle beneath which was a blanket from Fadak, and Usamah rode on it with him, behind him, when he went to visit Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (who was sick) in (the dwellings of) Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. That was before the battkof Badr. He passed by a gathering which was a mixed company of Muslims, idolaters and Jews, among whom was 'Abdullah bin Ubayy. 'Abdullah bin Rawahah was also present in the gathering. When the gathering was engulfed by dust stirred up by the animal, 'Abdullah bin Ubayy covered his nose with his cloak and said: "Do not scatter dust over us." The Prophet (s.a.w) greeted them with Salam, then he dismounted and called them to Allah, and recited Our' an to them. 'Abdullah bin Ubayy said: "O man, is there is nothing better than that? If what you say is true, do not bother us in our gatherings. Go back to your place, and if any of us come to you, you can tell him your stories." 'Abdullah bin Rawahah said: "Come to us in our gatherings, for we love that." Then the Muslims, idolaters and Jews began to rebuke one another, until they were about to come to blows, and the Prophet (s.a.w) kept trying to calm them down. Then he rode his animal until he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubadah and said: "O Sa'd, have you not heard what Abu Hubab said? - meaning 'Abdullah bin Ubayy - he said such and such." He said: "Pardon him, O Messenger of Allah, and forgive him, for by Allah, Allah has given you that which He has given you, but the people of this town had agreed to make him their king, and when Allah changed that by means of the truth that He has given you, that upset him, and that is why he is the way he is." So the Prophet (s.a.w) pardoned him.
