1419 - غَزوَةُ الفَتحِ‏

1419. THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH

4775.كنز العمّال : لَمّا كانَ يومُ الفَتحِ ورسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله بمكَّةَ ، أرسَلَ إلى‏ صَفوانَ بنِ اُمَيَّةَ وإلى‏ أبي سُفيانَ بنِ حَربٍ وإلَى الحارثِ ابنِ هِشامٍ ، قالَ عمرُ : فَقُلتُ : قَد أمكَنَ اللَّهُ مِنهُم لَأعرِفَنَّهُم بما صَنَعُوا ، حتى‏ قالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَثَلِي ومَثَلُكُم كَما قالَ يوسفُ لِإخوَتِهِ : (لا تَثْرِيبَ علَيكُمُ اليومَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُم وهُو أَرْحَمُ الرّاحِمِينَ)¹ ، قالَ عمرُ : فَانفَضَحتُ حَياءً مِن رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله؛ كَراهِيَةَ أن يَكونَ بَدَرَ مِنّي وقد قالَ لَهُم رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله ما قالَ .²

4775. Kanz al-Ummal narrated, ‘On the day of the conquest [of Makkah], when the Prophet (SAWA) entered Makkah, he sent for Safwan b. Umayya, Abu Sufyan b. Harb and Harith b. Hisham. [Umar said], ‘I said, ‘Allah has placed them in our grip, and I will make them taste the consequences of what they have done.’ The Prophet (SAWA), however, said, ‘My stance with you is as the stance that Joseph³ took with his brothers when he said to them, “There shall be no reproach on you today. Allah will forgive you, and He is the most merciful of the merciful.”⁴ [Umar narrated], ‘I turned away from the Prophet (SAWA) in shame and disgust at what had escaped from my mouth. And the Prophet (SAWA) said to them what he had to say.’⁵

4776.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله سارَ إلى‏ بَدرٍ في شهرِ رَمَضانَ ، وافتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ في شهرِ رَمَضانَ .⁶

4776.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily the Prophet (SAWA) marched to Badr in the month of Ramadan, and conquered Makkah in the month of Ramadan too.’⁷

4777.الإمامُ الرِّضا عليه السلام : دَخَلَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله يومَ فَتحِ مكَّةَ والأصنامُ حَولَ الكعبَةِ ، وكانَت ثلاثَمِائةٍ وسِتِّينَ صَنَماً ، فَجَعَلَ يَطعَنُها بِمِخصَرَةٍ في يَدِهِ ويقولُ : (جاءَ الحَقُّ وزَهَقَ الباطلُ إِنَّ الباطلَ كانَ زَهُوقاً) ، جاءَ الحَقُّ ومايُبدِئُ الباطِلُ ومايُعيدُ . فَجَعَلَت تُكَبُّ لِوَجهِها .⁸

4777. Imam al-Rida (AS) narrated, ‘The Prophet (SAWA) entered Makkah on the day of the conquest of Makkah and there were idols around the Ka’ba, three hundred and sixty of them in total. He started to knock them over with a baton he held in his hand, saying, “The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed falsehood is bound to vanish.”⁹ The truth has come and falsehood will not resurface or return.’ Then he started to throw them [the idols] down on their faces.’¹⁰

1418 - غَزوَةُ خَيبَرَ

1418. THE BATTLE OF KHAYBAR

4774.بُرَيدة : لَمّا كانَ يومُ خَيبَرَ أخَذَ اللِّواءَ أبو بكرٍ ، فَرَجَعَ ولَم يُفتَحْ لَهُ ، فَلَمّا كانَ مِن الغَدِ أخَذَ عُمَرُ ولَم يُفتَحْ لَهُ ، وقُتِلَ ابنُ مُسلِمَةَ ورَجَعَ الناسُ ، فقالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لَأدفَعَنَّ لِوائي هذا إلى‏ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ ورسولَهُ ويُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ ورسولُهُ ، لَن يَرجِعَ حتى‏ يُفتَحَ علَيهِ . فَبِتنا طَيِّبةً أنفُسُنا أنَّ الفَتحَ غَداً ، فَصَلّى‏ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله الغَداةَ ثُمّ دَعا بِاللِّواءِ وقامَ قائماً ، فما مِنّا مِن رَجُلٍ لَهُ مَنزِلَةٌ مِن رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله إلّا وهُو يَرجُو أن يكونَ ذلكَ الرَّجُلَ ؛ حتّى‏ تَطاوَلتُ أنا لها ورَفَعتُ رَأسِي لِمَنزِلَةٍ كانَت لي مِنهُ ، فَدَعا عليَّ بنَ أبي طالبٍ وهو يَشتَكِي عَينَيهِ فَمَسَحَها ثمَّ دَفَعَ إلَيهِ اللِّواءَ فَفُتِحَ لَهُ!¹

4774. Burayda narrated, ‘On the day of Khaybar, Abu Bakr took the flag [in order to attempt the conquest of the fortress of Khaybar] but returned without having conquered it. Then the next day, Umar took it and did not conquer it, and instead Ibn Muslima was killed so the people retreated even further. So the Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘I will deposit this flag of mine with a man who loves Allah and His Prophet, and whom Allah and His Prophet love, and he will not return without conquering it.’ So we rested ourselves assured that the conquest would be tomorrow. So the Prophet (SAWA) performed the morning prayer then called for the flag, and stood up. And every single one of us who held a position with the Prophet (SAWA) hoped that it would be him, until I myself stretched forward and craned my neck due to the position I had near him. Then he called Ali b. Abu Talib, who was afflicted with pain in his eyes. So the Prophet (SAWA) wiped his hands over them, deposited the flag with him, and he conquered it!’²
