Hadith Number: 5292
فحدثني (1) سليط بن مسلم، عن عبد الله بن عكرمة، قال: لما كان يوم الفتح دخل الحارث بن هشام وعبد الله بن ابي ربيعة على ام هانئ بنت ابي طالب، فاستجارا بها، فقالا: نحن في جوارك، فاجارتهما، فدخل عليهما علي بن ابي طالب، فنظر إليهما، فشهر عليهما السيف، فتفلت عليهما، واعتنقته، وقالت: تصنع بي هذا من بين الناس لتبدان بي قبلهما، فقال: تجيرين المشركين؟! فخرج، قالت ام هانئ: فاتيت رسول الله ﷺ فقلت: يا رسول الله، ما لقيت من ابن امي علي، ما كدت افلت منه؛ اجرت حموين لي من المشركين، فتفلت عليهما ليقتلهما، فقال رسول الله ﷺ:"ما كان ذلك له، قد اجرنا من اجرت، وامنا من امنت" فرجعت إليهما فاخبرتهما، فانصرفا إلى منازلهما، فقيل لرسول الله ﷺ: الحارث بن هشام وعبد الله بن ابي ربيعة جالسان في ناديهما مفتضلين (1) في الملاء المزعفر، فقال رسول الله ﷺ:"لا سبيل إليهما، قد امناهما". قال الحارث بن هشام: وجعلت استحيي ان يراني رسول الله ﷺ وانكر رؤيته إياي في كل موطن مع المشركين، ثم اذكر بره ورحمته، فالقاه وهو داخل المسجد فتلقاني بالبشر، ووقف حتى جئته، فسلمت عليه وشهدت شهادة الحق، فقال:"الحمد لله الذي هداك، ما كان مثلك يجهل الإسلام". قال الحارث: فوالله ما رايت مثل الإسلام جهل (2).
Abdullah bin Ikrimah narrates that on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, al-Harith bin Hisham and Abdullah bin Abi Rabi'ah came to Umm Hani bint Abi Talib and sought her protection. They said: "We are under your protection," and she granted them protection. Then Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) entered upon them, looked at them and drew his sword on them. As he was about to attack them, Umm Hani clung to him and said: "Of all people, you do this to me? You will have to finish me off before them." Ali said: "Are you giving protection to polytheists?" Then he went out from there. Umm Hani says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a complaint about my brother Ali; I barely escaped from him. I had given protection to two relatives of mine, and he rushed at them to kill them." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He had no right to do that. We have given protection to whom you gave protection, and granted safety to whom you granted safety." So she went back to them and informed them, and the two of them went off to their homes. It was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Al-Harith bin Hisham and Abdullah bin Abi Rabi'ah are sitting in their gathering, wrapped in fine saffron-dyed sheets." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no room for laying hands on them; we have granted them safety." Al-Harith bin Hisham says: I felt ashamed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) should see me, because on every occasion I had opposed him (peace and blessings be upon him) alongside the polytheists. Then I remembered his (peace and blessings be upon him) kindness and mercy, and I met him (peace and blessings be upon him) as he was entering the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was very pleased to see me and stopped until I reached him (peace and blessings be upon him). I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam and bore witness to the truth (the testimony of faith). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All praise is for Allah who has guided you. A man of understanding like you could not have remained ignorant of the reality of Islam." Al-Harith says: By Allah, I have never seen anything like Islam of which a person had (previously) been ignorant.

Note / Clarification: (1) The one who said this is "Muhammad bin 'Umar al-Waqidi".
(1) قائل ذلك هو محمد بن عمر الواقدي.
Note / Clarification: (1) What has been adopted in the text is from manuscript (M); the other manuscripts are inconsistent in its spelling. One says "tafaddala" when the wearer crosses the ends of his two garments over his shoulders in opposite directions, or wears a single garment. The forms "tafa''ala" and "ifta'ala" are used interchangeably, as in "istama'a" and "tasamma'a", "iddahana" and "tadahhana".
(1) المثبت من (م)، واضطربت بقية النسخ في رسمه. يقال: تفضَّل: إذا خالف اللابس بين أطراف ثوبيه على عاتقِه، أو لبس ثوبًا واحدًا. وتَفعَّل وافتعل يتناوبان مثل استمع تسمَّع، وادَّهن وتدهَّن.
Reference / Source: (2) This is in "al-Tabaqat al-Kubra" (6/ 83) - and by way of it Ibn 'Asakir (11/ 495-496) recorded it - from Muhammad bin 'Umar al-Waqidi.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): No one narrated from Salit bin Muslim other than al-Waqidi and al-Qa'nabi, and al-Waqidi attributed him to 'Amir bin Lu'ayy. His teacher 'Abd Allah bin 'Ikrimah (Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham) is among the Followers of the Successors (atba' al-tabi'in), so this report is "mu'dal".
Important point: However, al-Waqidi has another connected chain for the story of the protection (jiwar), which he mentioned in his "al-Maghazi" (2/ 830). By way of it al-Azraqi recorded it in "Akhbar Makkah" (2/ 161-162). A group corroborated him in it, in Ahmad (44/ 26892 and 45/ 27380) and al-Nasa'i (8631), but the story of al-Harith bin Hisham's acceptance of Islam does not occur in their narrations.

(2) وهو في "الطبقات الكبرى" 6/ 83 - ومن طريقه أخرجه ابن عساكر 11/ 495 - 496 - عن محمد بن عمر الواقدي، به. وسَلِيط بن مُسلم لم يرو عنه غير الواقدي والقعنبي، ونسبه الواقدي إلى عامر بن لؤي، وشيخه عبد الله بن عكرمة - وهو ابن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام - من أتباع التابعين، فالخبر معضل، لكن للواقدي في قصة الجوار إسناد آخر متصل ذكره في "مغازيه" 2/ 830، ومن طريقه أخرجه الأزرقي في "أخبار مكة" 2/ 161 - 162، وتابعه عليه جماعةٌ عند أحمد 44/ (26892)، و 45 / (27380)، والنسائي (8631)، لكنه لم يقع في رواياتهم قصةُ إسلام الحارث بن هشام.
Reference / Source: The basis of the story of Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her) granting protection is in the "Two Sahihs", i.e. Sahih al-Bukhari (357) and Sahih Muslim (719/ 82), but there it mentions granting protection to one man other than these two. See further: Ibn Hajar's discussion in "Fath al-Bari" (2/ 227).
وأصلُ قصّة إجارة أم هانئ في "الصحيحين" "صحيح البخاري" (357)، و "صحيح مسلم" (719) (82)، لكن بذكر إجارة رجلٍ واحدٍ غيرهما. وانظر كلام ابن حجر في "فتح الباري" 2/ 227.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): (1) There is no harm in the narrators above al-Waqidi, but al-Waqidi is alone in narrating it with this chain and no one corroborated him. Rather, he brought something objectionable (munkar) in this narration of his, namely the marfu' part at the end of the hadith, which contradicts the marfu' part at its beginning. The beginning states explicitly that Makkah is the most beloved place to Allah, while the end states explicitly that Madinah is the most beloved place to Allah. This suffices as evidence of the weakness of this narration.
Important point: This last marfu' phrase is also narrated on its own from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (see the author (al-Hakim), number 4307), but its chain is extremely weak (wahin); indeed al-Dhahabi and others judged it "fabricated" (mawdu'). And it is sahih and established that Makkah is the land most beloved to Allah, as has passed in the discussion of hadith number (4307).

(1) رجال إسناده من فوق الواقدي لا بأس بهم، لكن انفرد الواقدي بروايته بهذا الإسناد، ولم يتابعه عليه أحدٌ، بل جاء في روايته هذه بما يُنكر، وهو المرفوعُ في آخر الحديث الذي يعارِضُ المرفوعَ الذي في أوله، فصريحُ المرفوع في أوله أنَّ مكة هي أحب البقاع إلى الله، وصريح المرفوع في آخره أنَّ المدينة هي أحبُّ البقاع إلى الله، وكفى بهذا دليلًا على ضعف هذه الرواية، وقد روي هذا الحرفُ الأخير المرفوع مفردًا من حديث أبي هريرة كما تقدَّم عند المصنف برقم (4307)، لكن إسناده واهٍ بمرّة، بل حكم عليه الذهبي وغيره بالوضع. وكونُ مكةَ هي أحبَّ الأرض إلى الله صحيحٌ ثابتٌ كما تقدَّم بيانه عند الحديث (4307).

قال ابن عمر: وحدثني الضحاك بن عثمان، اخبرني عبد الله بن عبيد بن عمير، سمعت عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام يحدث عن ابيه، قال: رايت رسول الله ﷺ في حجته وهو واقف على راحلته، وهو يقول:"والله إنك لخير الارض، واحب الارض إلى الله، ولولا اني اخرجت منك ما خرجت"، قال: فقلت: يا ليتنا لم نفعل، فارجع إليها، فإنها منيتك ومولدك، فقال رسول الله ﷺ:"إني سالت ربي ﷿، فقلت: اللهم إنك اخرجتني من احب ارضك إلي، فانزلني احب ارضك إليك، فانزلني المدينة" (1).
Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham narrates from his father, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during his Hajj, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his she-camel, saying: "By Allah, you are the best piece of land and the most beloved land to Allah, and had I not been driven out of you, I would never have left." (Al-Harith says:) I said: "If only we had not done that! So return (to Makkah), for it is your birthplace and your beloved place." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic: 'O Allah, You have taken me out of the land of Yours that is most beloved to me, so now settle me in the land that is most beloved to You.' So Allah settled me in Madinah."

قال ابن عمر: ولم يزل الحارث مقيما بمكة بعد ان اسلم، حتى توفي رسول الله ﷺ، فلما جاء كتاب ابي بكر الصديق يستنفر المسلمين إلى غزو الروم قدم الحارث بن هشام وعكرمة بن ابي جهل وسهيل بن عمرو على ابي بكر المدينة، فاتاهم في منازلهم فرحب بهم، وسلم عليهم، وسر بمكانهم، ثم خرجوا مع المسلمين غزاة إلى الشام، فشهد الحارث بن هشام فحل واجنادين، ومات بالشام في طاعون عمواس سنة ثمان عشرة، فخلف عمر بن الخطاب على امراته فاطمة بنت الوليد بن المغيرة، وهي ام عبد الله بن الحارث، وكان عبد الرحمن يقول: ما رايت ربيبا خيرا من عمر بن الخطاب، وكان عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام من اشراف قريش (2).
Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) states that al-Harith (bin Hisham) (may Allah be pleased with him) remained in Makkah after accepting Islam until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. Then, when the letter of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, calling the Muslims out to fight the Romans, al-Harith bin Hisham, Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl and Suhayl bin Amr came to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah. He went to them at their lodgings, welcomed them, greeted them with salam and expressed his joy at their arrival. Then they set out with the Muslims as warriors to Syria. Al-Harith bin Hisham took part in the battles of Fihl and Ajnadayn, and died in Syria in the plague of Amwas in the year 18 AH. After him, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) married his wife Fatimah bint al-Walid bin al-Mughirah, who was the mother of Abdullah bin al-Harith. Abd al-Rahman (bin al-Harith) used to say: I have not seen a better stepfather than Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham was among the nobles of Quraysh.
