It is narrated from Urwah that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the Battle of Hunayn, he (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy over the people of Makkah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to teach the people the Qur'an and to give them understanding of the religion. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to Madinah that same year and left Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) behind there to teach the people of Makkah.

Grading: (3) This hadith is "sahih li-ghayrihi" (authentic due to supporting evidence).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): There is no harm in the narrators of this chain (la ba'sa bihim), as explained under number (4378), but it is "mursal". However, despite being mursal, since it is also narrated through other routes (which are mursal), the report is (collectively) sahih, in sha' Allah.

Reference / Source: It was recorded by Imam al-Bayhaqi in "Dala'il al-Nubuwwah" (5/201) from Abu 'Abdullah al-Hakim (the author), with this chain.
وأخرجه البيهقي في "دلائل النبوة" 5/ 201 عن أبي عبد الله الحاكم، بهذا الإسناد.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: It is supported (as a shahid) by the "mursal" narration of Musa bin 'Uqbah in al-Bayhaqi's "al-Dala'il" (5/201), and its narrators are trustworthy.
ويشهد له مُرسَلُ موسى بن عُقبة عند البيهقي في "الدلائل" 5/ 201. ورجاله ثقات.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Also the "mursal" narration of Muhammad bin Ishaq is a supporting report, as in Ibn Hisham's "al-Sirah al-Nabawiyyah" (2/500), and there is no harm in its narrators (la ba'sa bihim).
ومرسل محمد بن إسحاق كما في "السيرة النبوية" لابن هشام 2/ 500. ورجاله لا بأس بهم.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: It is also narrated as a "mursal" of Mujahid in Ibn Sa'd (2/300); although its chain up to Mujahid is weak, it is fit for consideration (as a supporting report).
Important point: What appears in the hadith of Ibn Ka'b bin Malik, which has already appeared in abridged form under numbers (2379) and (5260), where some of its routes state that "the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen after placing a restriction (hajr) on his property after the conquest of Makkah, and that he remained there until he (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) died"; and likewise what appears in some narrations of the hadith of Jabir bin 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), which will come under number (5276), that "this happened some time after the conquest of Makkah, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished with Hunayn": all of these are to be understood as meaning that his sending of Mu'adh to Yemen took place after the conquest of Makkah and after Hunayn.
Note / Clarification: Indeed, in one narration of Ibn Ka'b bin Malik it is stated that Mu'adh was sent to Yemen "after the Farewell Pilgrimage". This supports the soundness of the reconciliation (between the narrations), and (shows) that there is no contradiction. And Allah the Exalted knows best. See further al-Bayhaqi's "Dala'il al-Nubuwwah" (5/406-408).

ورُوي أيضًا من مرسل مجاهد عند ابن سعد 2/ 300، وإسناده إليه ضعيف، غير أنه يصلح للاعتبار. ويُحمل ما جاء في حديث ابن كعب بن مالك المتقدم مختصرًا برقم (2379) و (5260) حيث جاء في بعض طرقه: أنه ﷺ أرسل معاذ بن جبل إلى اليمن بعد أن حَجَر على ماله بعد فتح مكة، وأنه لم يَزَل بها حتى تُوفي، ومثلُه ما جاء في بعض روايات حديث جابر بن عبد الله الآتي برقم (5276) أنَّ ذلك كان بعد فتح مكة بمدةٍ حتى انتهى ﷺ من حُنين، فيحمل على أنَّ إرساله لمعاذ كان بعد الفتح وبعد حنين، بل جاء في روايةٍ لابن كعب بن مالك: أنَّ بعثة معاذ لليمن كانت بعد حجة الوداع، فهذا يؤيد صحة الجمع، وأنه لا تعارض، والله تعالى أعلم. وانظر "دلائل النبوة" للبيهقي 5/ 406 - 408.
