Azami 8928

Bazzar narrated it in Kashf Astar (3119) from Muhammad bin Muthanna, from Abu Amir Abdul-Malik bin Amr, from Zubayr bin Abdullah, also said to be Ibn Ruhayma, from the people of Madinah, from Rabih bin Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Saeed, from his father, from his grandfather, and he mentioned it. Bazzar said, "We do not know of anyone who narrated it with this isnad except Zubayr." I say, it is as he said. Imam Ahmad (10996) also narrated it from Abu Amir with his isnad, except that in it he has Rabih bin Abu Saeed, from his father. It appears there is a gap here, for Rabih was not a son of Abu Saeed, but rather the son of Abdul-Rahman, as in Bazzar's isnad. That is why Haythami said in Majma (10/136), "Ahmad and Bazzar narrated it, and Bazzar's isnad is connected, and its narrators are trustworthy, and likewise the narrators of Ahmad, except that in my copy of the Musnad it reads, from Rabih bin Abu Saeed, from his father, whereas in Bazzar it is, from his father, from his grandfather."I say, its isnad is hasan, for Zubayr bin Abdullah, the freedman of the Umayyads, was described by Abu Hatim as salih. Ibn Hibban listed him among the trustworthy narrators, so his hadith is hasan. But Hafiz said in Taqrib, "acceptable." As for Rabih bin Abdul-Rahman, Bukhari, Ahmad, and others have criticized him, but Ibn Adi said, "I hope there is no harm in him, so his hadith is graded hasan unless he contradicts others or comes with something objectionable."The polytheists remained besieging the Prophet ﷺ and his companions for close to a month, without being able to reach them, and no fighting occurred between them, except that Amr bin Abd Wud Amiri, one of the famous brave horsemen of the pre-Islamic era, rode out with some horsemen, and they broke through the trench and reached the side of the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called on the Muslim horsemen to face him, but no one stepped forward, so he ordered Ali, who went out to face him. They fought for a while, then Ali killed him, and this became a sign of victory.Then Allah sent upon the confederates a violent, powerful wind, until they had no tent left, nor anything else, and they could not even light a fire, and they found no stability, until they departed, disappointed and defeated, as Allah Almighty said, "O you who believe, remember the favor of Allah upon you when armies came to you and We sent against them a wind and armies you did not see, and Allah is ever seeing of what you do" [Ahzab 33:9]. His saying "and armies you did not see" refers to the angels.Among those killed on the day of the Trench was the son of Amr bin Wud, who was Hasl, as Ibn Hisham said, "A trustworthy person told me that he narrated from Ibn Shihab Zuhri that he said, Ali bin Abu Talib killed on that day Amr bin Wud and his son Hasl bin Amr." See Ibn Hisham (2/253).Also among the polytheists killed was Nawfal bin Abdullah Makhzumi, whom Zubayr bin Awwam killed with the sword, splitting him in two. He was the one whose body the polytheists sought to ransom, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "He is vile, and his ransom is vile," and he did not accept the ransom from them, though he permitted them to bury him.As for what was narrated from Ibn Abbas, that the Muslims struck down a man among the great men of the polytheists and killed him, and the polytheists asked to buy his body, and the Prophet ﷺ forbade them from selling the corpse of a polytheist, this is daif. It was narrated by Tirmidhi (1715), Ahmad (3011), and Bayhaqi (9/133), all through routes from Sufyan Thawri, from Ibn Abu Layla, from Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn Abbas, and he mentioned it. Ibn Abu Layla is Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman, whose memory was poor. Tirmidhi said, "This is a strange hadith, we do not know it except through the hadith of Hakam, and Hajjaj bin Artah also narrated it from Hakam."I say, Ahmad (2230, 2442) and Ibn Abu Shayba (12/419) narrated it through routes from Hajjaj bin Artah, who said, from Hakam, with it. Its wording is, "The Muslims killed a man from the polytheists on the day of the Trench, and they were offered money for his corpse, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give them back their corpse, for it is a vile corpse and a vile ransom,' and he did not accept anything from them." Hajjaj bin Artah practiced tadlis and narrated with an unspecified chain (an'ana). Both isnads center on Hakam, who is Ibn Utayba, and he did not hear from Miqsam except five hadiths, and this is not one of them. Perhaps this is why Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari (6/283), "Its isnad is not strong."It was also reported, as a mursal narration, from Ikrima, that Nawfal, or the son of Nawfal, was thrown by his horse on the day of the Trench and died from it. Abu Sufyan then sent to the Prophet ﷺ his ransom of a hundred camels, but the Prophet ﷺ refused, saying, "Take it back, for his ransom is vile, and his corpse is vile." Ibn Abu Shayba (14/423) narrated it with a sahih isnad from Ikrima as a mursal narration.Also among the polytheists killed on the day of the Trench, from Banu Abd Dar bin Qusay, was Munabbih bin Uthman bin Sibaq bin Abd Dar, who was struck by an arrow and died from it in Makkah, as Ibn Ishaq said. Ibn Hisham said, "He is Uthman bin Umaya bin Munabbih bin Ubayd bin Sibaq."These four polytheists were killed on the day of the Trench.
