قال سهيل (3): ولما دخل رسول الله ﷺ مكة اقتحمت بيتي، واغلقت علي بابي، وارسلت إلى ابني عبد الله: ان اطلب لي جوارا من محمد، فإني لا آمن ان اقتل، فذهب عبد الله إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فقال: يا رسول الله، ابي تؤمنه؟ قال:"نعم، هو آمن بامان الله، فليظهر"، ثم قال رسول الله ﷺ لمن حوله:"من لقي سهيل بن عمرو فلا يشتد إليه، فلعمري إن سهيلا له عقل وشرف، وما مثل سهيل جهل الإسلام"، فخرج عبد الله بن سهيل إلى ابيه، فخبره بمقالة رسول الله ﷺ، فقال سهيل: كان والله برا صغيرا وكبيرا، وكان سهيل يقبل ويدبر آمنا، وخرج مع رسول الله ﷺ وهو على شركه حتى اسلم بالجعرانة، فاعطاه رسول الله ﷺ من غنائم حنين مئة من الإبل" (4). وقد روى سهيل بن عمرو عن رسول الله ﷺ.
Suhayl bin Amr states: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah (on the day of the Conquest), I rushed into my house and shut my door. Then I sent word to my son Abdullah to seek protection for me from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), for I feared that I would be killed. So Abdullah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, will you grant my father safety?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, he is safe under the protection of Allah, so let him come out (openly)." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to those around him: "Whoever meets Suhayl bin Amr, let him not treat him harshly. By my life, Suhayl is a man of intelligence and nobility, and a man like Suhayl could not remain ignorant of the reality of Islam." Then Abdullah bin Suhayl went to his father and told him what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. Suhayl said: "By Allah, he (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) was the embodiment of goodness both as a child and as a grown man." After that Suhayl came and went in safety and peace. He set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (for the Battle of Hunayn) while still a polytheist, until he accepted Islam at al-Ji'ranah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a hundred camels from the spoils of Hunayn.

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Technical note / Defect ('illah): (3) In the manuscripts of al-Mustadrak, the story of Suhayl bin 'Amr seeking a guarantee of safety comes joined on to the hadith of Jabir bin 'Abd Allah, which gives the false impression that it is part of the hadith about the Battle of Badr, whereas al-Waqidi narrated it with a different chain in the story of the Conquest of Makkah.
(3) كذا جاءت قصة طلب سهيل بن عمرو الأمانَ معطوفة على حديث جابر بن عبد الله في نسخ "المستدرك"، فأوهم أنها من تتمة حديثه في غزوة بدر، وإنما رواها الواقدي بإسناد آخر في قصة فتح مكة.
Reference / Source: (4) This is in al-Waqidi's "al-Maghazi" (2/ 846-847), and by way of him Ibn Sa'd recorded it in "al-Tabaqat al-Kubra" (6/ 123), Ibn 'Asakir in "Tarikh Dimashq" (73/ 54) and Ibn al-Jawzi in "al-Muntazam" (4/ 258-259), from Musa bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin al-Harith al-Taymi, from his father, who said: Suhayl said … (then he mentioned the story).
(4) وهو عند الواقدي في "مغازيه" 2/ 846 - 847، ومن طريقه أخرجه ابن سعد في "الطبقات الكبرى" 6/ 123، وابن عساكر في "تاريخ دمشق" 73/ 54، وابن الجوزي في "المنتظم" 4/ 258 - 259 عن موسى بن محمد بن إبراهيم بن الحارث التيمي، عن أبيه، قال: قال سهيل … فذكر القصة.
