The Prophet ﷺ sent the maternal uncle of Anas, the brother of Umm Sulaym, with seventy riders. The chief of the polytheists, Amir bin Tufayl, was given a choice between three options. He said, "You may have the people of the plains and I will have the people of the towns, or I shall be your successor, or I will attack you with the people of Ghatafan, with a thousand bay horses and a thousand other mounts."Then Amir was struck with a plague in the house of a certain woman. He said, "A swelling like that of a young camel has come upon me in the house of a woman from such-and-such family. Bring me my horse." So he died on the back of his horse.Then Haram, the brother of Umm Sulaym, set out, along with a lame man and a man from such-and-such tribe. Haram said to them, "Stay close until I approach them. If they grant me safe passage, you will join me, and if they kill me, you can return to your companions."Haram said to them, "Will you grant me safety so I may deliver the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He began speaking to them, but they signaled to a man, who came up behind him and stabbed him.Hammam said, "I think he said, until he drove the spear right through him."Haram said, "Allah is the greatest! I have triumphed, by the Lord of the Kaabah!"Then they pursued the others and killed them all, except the lame man, who was on top of a mountain. Then Allah revealed to us, and it was later among what was abrogated, "We have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us and has pleased us."The Prophet ﷺ then invoked against them for thirty mornings, against Ril, Zakwan, Banu Lihyan, and Usayyah, who had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
حدثنا موسى بن إسماعيل حدثنا همام عن إسحاق بن عبد الله بن أبي طلحة قال
أن النبي ﷺ بعث خاله أخ لأم سليم في سبعين راكبا وكان رئيس المشركين عامر بن الطفيل خير بين ثلاث خصال فقال يكون لك أهل السهل ولي أهل المدر أو أكون خليفتك أو أغزوك بأهل غطفان بألف وألف فطعن عامر في بيت أم فلان فقال غدة كغدة البكر في بيت امرأة من آل فلان ائتوني بفرسي فمات على ظهر فرسه فانطلق حرام أخو أم سليم وهو رجل أعرج ورجل من بني فلان قال كونا قريبا حتى آتيهم فإن آمنوني كنتم وإن قتلوني أتيتم أصحابكم فقال أتؤمنوني أبلغ رسالة رسول الله ﷺ فجعل يحدثهم وأومئوا إلى رجل فأتاه من خلفه فطعنه قال همام أحسبه حتى أنفذه بالرمح قال الله أكبر فزت ورب الكعبة فلحق الرجل فقتلوا كلهم غير الأعرج كان في رأس جبل فأنزل الله علينا ثم كان من المنسوخ إنا قد لقينا ربنا فرضي عنا وأرضانا فدعا النبي ﷺ عليهم ثلاثين صباحا على رعل وذكوان وبني لحيان وعصية الذين عصوا الله ورسوله ﷺ
