بَابُ كَرَامَاتِ الأَوْلِيَاءِ وَفَضْلِهِمْ

253 - Chapter: The Miracles of the Saints and Their Virtue.

الْعَشَرَةَ بِالنَّبْلِ، فَقَتَلُوا عَاصِمًا وَقَتَلُوا سِتَّةً آخَرِينَ، وَبَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةٌ، وَقَالُوا: نَنْزِلُ وَتَنْظُرُ هَلْ يُوفُونَ أَمْ لَا، فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْهُذَلِيُّونَ ثُمَّ حَلُّوا قِسِيَّهُمْ وَرَبَطُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ، فَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ: هَذَا أَوَّلُ الْغَدْرِ، لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَصْحَبَكُمْ، فَحَاوَلُوا مَعَهُ قَالَ: أَبَدًا فَقَتَلُوهُ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا بِحُبَيْبٍ وَصَاحِبِهِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَبَاعُوهُمَا، فَاشْتَرَى حُبَيْبًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ قَدْ قَتَلَ زَعِيمًا لَهُمْ فِي بَدْرٍ، وَرَأَوْا أَنَّ هَذِهِ فُرْصَةٌ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، ثُمَّ أَبْقَوْهُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَسِيرًا مَغْلُولَةً يَدَاهُ، وَفِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ أَسِيرًا مَغْلُولَةً يَدُهُ، فَدَرَجَ صَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ إِلَى حُبَيْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَكَأَنَّهُ رَقَّ لَهُ وَرَحِمَهُ كَعَادَةِ الإِنْسَانِ يَرْحَمُ الصِّغَارَ وَيَرِقُّ لَهُمْ، وَلِهَذَا إِذَا رَأَيْتَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ أَنَّكَ تَرِقُّ لِلصِّغَارِ وَتَرْحَمُهُمْ فَهَذِهِ مِنْ عَلَامَةِ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ لَكَ؛ لِأَنَّ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؛ وَلِهَذَا قَالَ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ لَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ يُقَبِّلُ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِي عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُهُمْ، قَالَ: «أَوَأَمْلِكُ أَنْ نَزَعَ اللَّهُ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ»(١)، «إِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ»(٢).

They pelted the ten with arrows, killing 'Asim and six others. Three men remained, and they said, 'We will come down and see if you keep your word.' The Hudhayliyyun captured them, unstrung their bows, and bound their hands. The third man declared, 'This is the first act of treachery; I cannot go with you.' They tried to persuade him, but he refused, so they killed him. They took Khubayb and his companion to Mecca and sold them. Khubayb, may Allah be pleased with him, was bought by Meccans who remembered he had killed one of their leaders at Badr; they saw this as their chance to kill him, so they kept him shackled as a prisoner. One day, while he was held in a house, a young boy from the family toddled toward him. Khubayb felt a natural tenderness and mercy for the child, as humans do for the young. If you find yourself feeling such tenderness, it is a sign of Allah's mercy toward you, for Allah shows mercy to those who are merciful. When Al-Aqra' ibn Habis saw the Prophet kissing Al-Hasan, he remarked, 'I have ten children and have never kissed one of them.' The Prophet replied, 'Can I help it if Allah has removed mercy from your heart?' and 'Allah only shows mercy to the merciful among His servants.'

حُبَيْبٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخَذَ الصَّبِيَّ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتَعَارَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مُوسَى (يَعْنِي مُوسَى يَسْتَحِدُّ بِهِ أَيْ يَحْلِقُ بِهِ عَانَتَهُ)، لَمَّا ذَهَبَ الصَّبِيُّ يَدْرُجُ (يَلْعَبُ) وَأُمُّهُ غَافِلَةٌ عَنْهُ، لَمَّا تَفَطَّنَتْ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَخِذِ حُبَيْبٍ، وَحُبَيْبٌ مَعَهُ الْمُوسَى فَظَنَّتْ أَنَّ هَذِهِ فُرْصَةٌ لِحُبَيْبٍ، مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ، يَذْبَحُ الْوَلَدَ، الْمُوسَى مَعَهُ وَالْوَلَدُ صَبِيٌّ وَهُوَ مُنْفَرِدٌ بِهِ، لَكِنَّهُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَمِينٌ، صَحَابِيٌّ جَلِيلٌ، لَمَّا أَحَسَّ أَنَّهَا ارْتَاعَتْ (فَزِعَتِ) الأُمُّ، قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَذْبَحَهُ، قَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَسِيرًا خَيْرًا مِنْ حُبَيْبٍ.

Khubayb took the boy and sat him on his lap. He had borrowed a razor from the household to shave. When the boy wandered over to play, his mother was initially unaware. When she finally noticed him sitting on Khubayb's lap with the razor in hand, she panicked, assuming Khubayb would take the opportunity to kill the child. He was alone with the boy and armed, yet he was a trustworthy and noble Companion. Sensing her terror, he said, 'By Allah, I would never kill him.' She replied, 'By Allah, I have never seen a better prisoner than Khubayb.'
