Chapter on the Expedition of Ibn Abi Al-Awja’ Al-Sulami to the Banu Sulaym

Abu Al-Husayn ibn Al-Fadl Al-Qattan reported to us, saying: Abu Bakr ibn ‘Attab informed us that Al-Qasim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah told us, saying: Ibn Abi Uways narrated to us, saying: Ismail ibn Ibrahim ibn ‘Uqbah reported from his uncle Musa ibn ‘Uqbah. And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz reported to us, saying: Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Fadl informed us, saying: My grandfather narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Al-Mundhir reported to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated from Musa ibn ‘Uqbah, from Ibn Shihab, who said:

Then Abu Al-Awja’ launched an expedition, and according to the narration of Al-Qattan, it was the Ghazwah of Ibn Abi Al-Awja’ Al-Sulami against people whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent to the land of Banu Sulaym. He and his companions were killed.

Al-Waqidi:

He said: Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Muslim informed us, from Az-Zuhri, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from the Umrah of Al-Qadisyyah, he returned in Dhu al-Hijjah of the year seven. He sent Ibn Abi Al-Awjaa As-Sulami with fifty men. He went to Banu Sulaym, and the spring of Banu Sulaym was with him. When he left Al-Madinah, the spring went back to his people, warned and informed them, so they gathered in great numbers. Ibn Abi Al-Awjaa came to them, and the people were prepared. When the companions of the Messenger of Allah saw them and their gathering, they invited them to Islam, but they pelted them with stones and did not listen to them, saying, "We have no need for what you are calling us to." They pelted them for a while, then reinforcements arrived until they were surrounded from all sides. The people fought fiercely until most of them were killed, and their companion Ibn Abi Al-Awjaa was wounded among the slain. He fought stubbornly until they reached the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and they arrived in Al-Madinah on the first day of Safar in the year eight.

[Note: In (4): It should be translated as 'their companion.' Al-Waqidi narrated it in Al-Maghazi (2:741).]

الْوَاقِدِيُّ: قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عُمْرَةِ الْقَضِيَّةِ رَجَعَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ بَعَثَ ابْنَ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ السُّلَمِيَّ فِي خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَكَانَ عَيْنُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ خَرَجَ الْعَيْنُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَحَذَّرَهُمْ، وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ فَجَمَعُوا جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا، وَجَاءَهُمُ ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ، وَالْقَوْمُ مُعِدُّونَ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَأَوْا جَمْعَهُمْ دَعَوْهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَرَشَقُوهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا قَوْلَهُمْ، وَقَالُوا: لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا إِلَى مَا دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ، فَرَمَوْهُمْ سَاعَةً وَجَعَلَتِ الْأَمْدَادُ تَأْتِي حَتَّى أَحْدَقُوا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ فَقَاتَلَ الْقَوْمُ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا، حَتَّى قُتِلَ عَامَّتُهُمْ، وَأُصِيبَ صَاحِبُهُمُ [ (٤) ] ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ جَرِيحًا مَعَ الْقَتْلَى، ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ صَفَرٍ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ [ (٥) ] .[ (٤) ] في (أ) : «صاحبكم» .[ (٥) ] رواه الواقدي في المغازي (٢: ٧٤١) .
