That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Sa`d bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before `Abdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was `Abdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, Do not cover us with dust. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) greeted them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to him. On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Call on us in our gathering, for we love that. So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about to fight with one another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin 'Ubada. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, O Sa`d! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said? (meaning `Abdullah bin Unbar). He said so-and-so. Sa`d bin Ubada said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him (`Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) excused him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.). Then they became Muslims.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Al Yaman telah mengabarkan kepada kami Syu'aib dari Az Zuhri. Dan diriwayatkan dari jalur lain telah menceritakan kepada kami Isma'il dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku Saudaraku dari Sulaiman dari Muhammad bin Abu 'Atiq dari Ibnu Syihab dari 'Urwah bin Az Zubair bahwa Usamah bin Zaid radliallahu 'anhuma telah mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah mengendarai seekor keledai dilengkapi dengan pelana yang terbuat dari kain Fadak sementara Usamah berada di belakang beliau. Beliau pergi untuk menjenguk Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah di Bani Al Harits bin Al Khazraj; kejadian ini berlangsung sebelum perang Badar. Kemudian beliau berangkat hingga melewati suatu majlis yang di dalamnya terdapat 'Abdullah bin 'Ubay bin Salul. Itu terjadi sebelum 'Abdullah bin 'Ubay masuk Islam. Di dalam majlis itu berkumpul pula orang-orang dari kaum Muslimin orang-orang Musyrik para penyembah berhala dan orang-orang Yahudi. Di kalangan kaum Muslimin terdapat 'Abdullah bin Rawahah. Ketika majlis tersebut di kepuli oleh debu yang ditimbulkan dari hewan tunggangan 'Abdullah bin 'Ubay langsung menutup hidungnya sambil berkata; 'Hei jangan kamu kepuli kami dengan debu.' Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengucapkan salam kepada mereka lalu beliau berhenti turun dan mengajak mereka kepada Allah (memeluk agama Islam) dan membacakan kepada mereka Al Qur'an. Mendengar hal itu 'Abdullah bin 'Ubay berkata; 'Hei..! apa tak ada yang lebih baik dari yang engkau ucapkan! jika itu benar jangan ganggu di pertemuan kami. Kembalilah! Dan bacakan saja kepada orang-orang yang datang kepadamu! ' Mendengar itu 'Abdullah bin Rawahah berkata; 'Ya Rasulullah! sampaikan saja kepada kami dalam pertemuan ini karena kami menyukai hal itu.' Maka Kaum Muslimin orang-orang kafir dan Yahudi saling mencaci-maki satu sama lain hingga hampir saja mereka berkelahi. Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tidak henti-hentinya menenangkan mereka hingga mereka semua kembali tenang. Setelah itu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menaiki kembali keledainya dan melanjutkan perjalanan hingga sampai di kediaman Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah. Lalu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata kepada Sa'ad: 'Wahai Sa'd tidakkah engkau mendengar apa yang diucapkan Abu Hubab? ' -yang beliau maksudkan adalah 'Abdullah bin 'Ubay- 'Dia telah berkata ini dan itu.' Mendengar itu Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah berkata; Demi ayahku maafkan dia wahai Rasulullah dan berlapang dadalah kepadanya. Demi dzat yang menurunkan kitab kepada anda Allah telah datang dengan kebenaran yang diturunkan kepada anda. (dahulu) Penduduk telaga ini (penduduk Madinah -red) bersepakat untuk memilihnya dan mengangkatnya namun karena kebenaran yang diberikan kepada anda itu muncul sehingga menghalanginya (Abdullah bin Ubay) menjabat sebagai pemimpin maka seperti itulah perbuatannya sebagaimana yang anda lihat.' Akhirnya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memaafkannya karena itu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan para sahabatnya memaafkan orang-orang kafir dan para Ahli Kitab sebagaimana yang diperintahkan Allah dan mereka bersabar terhadap gangguan mereka. Allah Ta'ala berfirman: (u2026kamu sungguh-sungguh akan mendengar dari orang-orang yang diberi Kitabu2026) QS Ali Imran; 186. dan firman Allah (u2026Sebahagian besar ahli Kitab menginginkan agar mereka dapat mengembalikan kamuu2026) QS Al Baqarah; 109. Dan Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menafsirkan (ayat di atas) suatu prinsip memberikan ampunan kepada mereka selama Allah memerintahkannya demikian hingga Allah memberikan izin untuk memerangi mereka. Maka ketika Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memerangi mereka dalam Perang Badar dan Allah membinasakan orang-orang terkemuka Quraisy maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan para sahabatnya pun kembali dengan membawa kemenangan baik harta ghanimah maupun para tawanan dari pembesar-pembesar Qurasy Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul dan orang-orang kafir dari para penyembah berhala yang bersamanya berkata; 'Perkara ini (Islam) telah muncul.' Lalu mereka berbaiat atas Islam kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam akhirnya mereka masuk Islam.'

`Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Did you benefit Abu Talib with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and used to become angry for you? The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire. But for me he would have been in the lowest part of the Fire.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Musa bin Isma'il telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu 'Awanah telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdul Malik dari Abdullah bin Al Harits bin Naufal dari Abbas bin Abdul Mutthalib dia berkata; 'Wahai Rasulullah apakah anda dapat memberi manfa'at kepada Abu Thalib karena dia telah mengasuhmu dan terkadang marah (untuk memberikan pembelaan) kepadamu.' Beliau menjawab; 'Ya. ia berada di bagian neraka yang dangkal dan kalaulah bukan karena diriku niscaya berada di dasar neraka.''
