Sebagaimana para sahabat yang diutus kepada kabilah-kabilah itu, kami memahami bahawa mengutus beberapa pasukan lagi ke seluruh wilayah Semenanjung Arab adalah satu keperluan demi tertegaknya dan berkuasanya keamanan di seluruh tanah Arab.
In the same way that the believed ones were dispatched to the tribes, we understand that dispatching some more platoons to all regions of Arabia is a necessity for the prevalence and domination of security on all lands of Arabia.
Berikut ialah senarai pasukan-pasukan tersebut:
Here is a list of those platoons:
1. Pasukan 'Uyaina bin Hisn Al-Fazari ke Bani Tamim pada bulan Muharram, tahun kesembilan Hijrah. Pasukan itu terdiri daripada lima puluh penunggang kuda, dan tiada seorang pun daripada mereka adalah golongan Muhajirin mahupun Ansar.
1. ‘Uyaina bin Hisn Al-Fazari’s platoon in Al-Muharram, the ninth year of Al-Hijra to Bani Tamim. It consisted of fifty horsemen, none of them was an Emigrant or a Helper.
Ekspedisi ini dihantar kerana Bani Tamim sudah menggesa suku-suku lain supaya tidak membayar cukai (Al-Jizya), dan akhirnya menghalang mereka daripada membayarnya.
2. This expedition was dispatched due to the fact that Bani Tamim had already urged other tribes not to pay tribute (Al-Jizya) and eventually stopped them from paying it.
Oleh itu, ‘Uyainah bin Hisn bergerak untuk memerangi mereka. Sepanjang perjalanan dia berjalan pada waktu malam dan mengintai pada waktu siang. Dia terus begitu sehingga dia dapat menyusul mereka dan menyerang mereka di padang pasir. Mereka melarikan diri demi menyelamatkan nyawa. Sebelas lelaki, dua puluh satu wanita dan tiga puluh budak lelaki ditawan ketika itu. Dia membawa mereka kembali ke Madinah dan mereka ditempatkan di kediaman Ramlah binti Al-Harith. Sepuluh orang pemimpin mereka, yang datang ke pintu Nabi ﷺ, memanggilnya dengan berkata: “Wahai Muhammad, keluarlah dan hadapi kami.” Apabila baginda keluar, mereka menangkapnya dan mula berbicara.
Therefore, ‘Uyaina bin Hisn set out to fight them. All the way long he marched by night and lurked by day. He went on that way till he overtook them and attacked them in the desert. They fled back for their lives. Eleven men, twenty-one women and thirty boys were captured then. He drove them back to Madinah and were housed in Ramlah bint Al-Harith’s residence. Ten of their leaders, who came to the Prophet’s door, called out unto him saying: “O Muhammad come out and face us.” When he went out they held him and started talking.
Dia bertukar kata-kata dengan mereka untuk seketika, kemudian meninggalkan mereka dan pergi menunaikan solat Zuhur. Selepas solat, dia duduk di halaman masjid. Mereka mengisytiharkan hasrat untuk menunjukkan kebanggaan dan keangkuhan diri. Untuk tujuan ini, mereka memperkenalkan jurucakap mereka, ‘Utarid bin Hajib, yang menyampaikan ucapannya.
He exchanged talk with them for a while then left them and went to perform the noon-prayer. After prayer he sat in the mosque-patio. They proclaimed a desire to show boasting and self-pride. For this purpose they introduced their orator ‘Utarid bin Hajib who delivered his speech.
Rasulullah ﷺ meminta Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas, pemidato Muslim, untuk memberikan jawapan. Dia pun melakukannya. Sebagai balasan, mereka membawa tampil penyair mereka, Az-Zabraqan bin Badr, yang membacakan syair-syair yang penuh bangga diri. Hassan bin Thabit, penyair Islam, segera membalasnya. Apabila perbualan dan syair itu berakhir, Al-Aqra‘ bin Habis berkata: “Pemidato mereka lebih fasih daripada kita, dan penyair mereka lebih mahir dalam ilmu syair daripada kita. Suara dan kata-kata mereka lebih unggul daripada kita juga.” Akhirnya mereka mengumumkan keislaman mereka. Maka Rasulullah ﷺ mengiktiraf keislaman mereka, memberi mereka ganjaran yang baik, dan mengembalikan wanita dan anak-anak mereka kepada mereka.
The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) asked Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas — the Muslim orator — to respond. He did that. In return, they brought forth their poet Az-Zabraqan bin Badr who recited some boastful poetry. Hassan bin Thabit, the poet of Islam, promptly replied back. When talks and poetcame to an end, Al-Aqra‘ bin Habis said: “Their orator is more eloquent than ours, and their poet is more poetically learned than ours. Their voices and sayings excel ours, as well.” Eventually they announced their embracing Islam. Consequently, the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) acknowledged their Islamization, awarded them well, and rendered them back their women and children.
3. Sepasukan tentera yang diketuai oleh Qutbah bin 'Amir menuju ke sebuah tempat bernama Khath'am di Tabalah, sebidang tanah yang tidak jauh dari Turbah. Itu berlaku pada bulan Safar, tahun 9 Hijrah. Bersama dua puluh orang dan hanya sepuluh unta untuk ditunggangi secara bergilir, Qutbah menyerang mereka dan bertempur dengan begitu sengit sehingga ramai dari kedua-dua pihak tercedera dan sebahagian yang lain terbunuh. Kaum Muslimin membawa pulang unta, wanita dan kambing biri-biri ke Madinah.
3. A platoon headed by Qutbah bin ‘Amir to a spot called Khath‘am in Tabalah, a plot of land not far from Turbah. That was in Safar, 9 A.H. Accompanied by twenty men and only ten camels to mount alternatively on, Qutbah raided them and fought so fiercely that a great number of both parties were wounded and some others were killed. The Muslims drove back with them camels, women and sheep to Madinah.
4. Misi Dahhak bin Sufyan Al-Kilabi kepada Bani Kilab pada bulan Rabi‘ Al-Awwal tahun 9 H. Misi ini dihantar kepada Bani Kilab untuk menyeru mereka memeluk Islam. Enggan memeluk Islam, mereka mula memerangi kaum Muslimin, tetapi mereka tewas dan kehilangan seorang lelaki yang terbunuh.
4. The mission of Dahhak bin Sufyan Al-Kilabi to Bani Kilab in Rabi‘ Al-Awwal in the year 9 A.H. This mission was sent to Bani Kilab to call them to embrace Islam. Refusing to embrace Islam, they started to fight against the Muslims, but were defeated and sustained one man killed.
5. Ekspedisi tiga ratus orang di bawah pimpinan ‘Alqamah bin Mujazziz Al-Mudlaji ke pantai Jeddah pada bulan Rabi‘ Al-Akhir. Ekspedisi ini dikirim untuk memerangi sebahagian orang dari (Al-Habasha) Abyssinia (Ethiopia), yang berkumpul berhampiran pantai Jeddah dan melakukan tindakan lanun terhadap penduduk Makkah. Oleh itu, beliau menyeberangi laut sehingga sampai ke sebuah pulau. Namun, sebaik sahaja para lanun itu mengetahui kedatangan orang Islam, mereka melarikan diri.
5. The three hundred men expedition of ‘Alqamah bin Mujazziz Al-Mudlaji to Jeddah shores in Rabi‘ Al-Akhir. This expedition was dispatched to fight against some men from (Al-Habasha) Abyssinia (Ethiopia), who gathered together near the shores of Jeddah and exercised acts of piracy against the Makkans. Therefore he crossed the sea till he got to an island. But as soon as the pirates had learned of Muslims’ arrival, they fled.
6. Tugas pasukan ‘Ali bin Abi Talib ialah untuk menghancurkan Al-Qullus, yang merupakan sebuah berhala milik kabilah Tai’. Itu berlaku pada bulan Rabi‘ Al-Awwal tahun 9 H. ‘Ali diutus oleh Rasulullah ﷺ bersama seratus lima puluh orang. Seratus daripada mereka menunggang unta, dan lima puluh yang lain menunggang kuda. Beliau membawa bendera hitam dan panji putih.
6. The task of the platoon of ‘Ali bin Abi Talib was to demolish Al-Qullus, which was an idol that belonged to Tai’ tribe. That was in Rabi‘ Al-Awwal in the year 9 A.H. ‘Ali was dispatched by the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) with one hundred fifty men. A hundred of them were on camels. The other fifty were on horseback. He held a black flag and a white banner.
Pada waktu subuh mereka menyerbu Mahallat Hatim, merobohkan berhala, dan memperoleh harta rampasan yang banyak, iaitu unta dan kambing biri-biri, manakala ‘Adi melarikan diri ke Ash-Sham. Saudara perempuan ‘Adi bin Hatim termasuk dalam kalangan tawanan. Di dalam peti besi Al-Qullus, kaum Muslimin menemui tiga pedang dan tiga baju besi. Dalam perjalanan pulang, mereka membahagikan harta rampasan dan menyisihkan barang-barang yang terbaik untuk Rasulullah ﷺ. Mereka tidak memberikan bahagian kepada keluarga Hatim.
• At dawn they raided Mahallat Hatim, demolished the idol and filled their hands with spoils, camels and sheep booties, whereas ‘Adi fled to Ash-Sham. The sister of ‘Adi bin Hatim was one of the captives. Inside Al-Qullus safe, Muslims found three swords and three armours. On the way they distributed the spoils and put aside the best things to the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) . They did not share the Hatims.
Sebaik sahaja tiba di Madinah, saudara perempuan ‘Adi bin Hatim merayu kepada Rasulullah ﷺ agar mengasihaninya dan berkata: “Wahai Rasulullah ﷺ, saudara lelaki saya tiada dan bapa saya telah meninggal dunia, dan saya sudah terlalu tua untuk berkhidmat. Berbuat baiklah kepada saya, supaya Allah juga melimpahkan kebaikan kepada tuan.” Baginda ﷺ bertanya: “Siapakah saudara kamu?” Dia menjawab: “Dia ialah ‘Adi bin Hatim.” “Bukankah dia orang yang lari daripada Allah dan Rasul-Nya?” sabda Nabi ﷺ, lalu Baginda ﷺ beredar meninggalkannya. Keesokan harinya, dia mengulangi perkara yang sama seperti hari sebelumnya dan menerima jawapan yang sama. Sehari kemudian dia mengucapkan kata-kata yang serupa, kali ini Baginda ﷺ memberikan kebaikan kepadanya. Lelaki yang berada di sisi Nabi ﷺ, yang disangkanya ‘Ali, berkata kepadanya: “Mintalah daripada Baginda seekor haiwan untuk kamu tunggangi.” Lalu permintaannya dikabulkan.
Upon arrival in Madinah, the sister of ‘Adi bin Hatim begged the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) to have mercy on her and said: “O Messenger of Allâh, my brother is absent and father is dead, and I am too old to render any service. Be beneficent to me so that Allâh may be bountiful to you.” He said: “Who is your brother?” She said: “It is ‘Adi bin Hatim.” “Is he not the one who fled from Allâh and his Messenger?” Said the Prophet (peace be upon him) then went away from her. Next day she reiterated the same thing as the day before and received the same answer. A day later she uttered similar words, this time he made benefaction to her. The man who was beside the Prophet, and whom she thought to be ‘Ali, said to her: “Ask for an animal from him to ride on.” And she was granted her request.
Dia kembali ke Ash-Sham, lalu bertemu dengan saudaranya dan berkata kepadanya: “Rasulullah ﷺ telah melakukan kebaikan yang begitu mulia kepadaku, yang tidak akan pernah dilakukan oleh ayahmu. Oleh itu, mahu tidak mahu, dalam keadaan takut atau aman, engkau harus pergi menemui beliau.”
Tanpa perlindungan dari sesiapa pun, bahkan tanpa surat rekomendasi sebagai sarana perlindungan, ‘Adi datang dan menemui Nabi ﷺ. Rasulullah ﷺ membawanya pulang ke rumah beliau. Sebaik sahaja ia duduk di hadapan beliau, Rasulullah ﷺ memuji dan bersyukur kepada Allah, kemudian bersabda: “Apakah yang membuatmu lari? Adakah engkau lari kerana takut mengatakan bahawa tiada tuhan selain Allah? Adakah engkau mengetahui tuhan lain selain Allah?” “Tidak,” jawabnya, lalu ia berbicara seketika. Rasulullah ﷺ terus bersabda: “Sesungguhnya engkau lari supaya engkau tidak mendengar ucapan ‘Allah Maha Besar.’ Adakah engkau mengetahui sesiapa yang lebih besar daripada Allah?” “Tidak,” jawabnya. “Orang Yahudi adalah mereka yang mendapat murka, dan orang Nasrani adalah mereka yang telah sesat,” balas Nabi ﷺ. “Saya seorang Muslim dan saya beriman kepada satu Tuhan (Allah).” Akhirnya ‘Adi mengucapkan pengakuannya dengan wajah yang gembira. Nabi ﷺ memerintahkan agar ia diberi tempat tinggal bersama salah seorang kaum Ansar. Sejak saat itu, ia mula sering menemui Nabi ﷺ pada waktu pagi dan petang.
She returned to Ash-Sham where she met her brother and said to him: “The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) has done me such noble deed that your father would never have done it. Therefore, willy-nilly, frightened or secure, you should go and see him.” Unsecure neither protected by some one, not even recommended by a letter as a means of protection, ‘Adi came and met the Prophet. The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) took him home with him. As soon as he sat before him, the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) thanked Allâh and praised him, then said: “What makes you flee? Do you flee lest you should say there is no god but Allâh? Do you know any other god but Allâh?” “No” he said, then talked for a while. The Messenger of Allâh went on saying: “Certainly you flee so that you may not hear the statement saying ‘Allâh is the Greatest.’ Do you know anyone who is greater than Allâh?” “No” he said. “The Jews are those whose portion is wrath, and the Christians are those who have gone astray,” the Prophet retorted. “I am a Muslim and I believe in one God (Allâh).” ‘Adi finally proclaimed with a joyous face. The Prophet ordered him a residence with one of the Helpers. From that time he started calling at the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the mornings and in the evenings.
Daripada Ibnu Ishaq, apabila Nabi ﷺ menyuruh dia duduk di hadapannya di dalam rumahnya, Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Wahai 'Adi, bukankah engkau dahulu berada dalam kekafiran?" "Ya," jawab 'Adi. 'Adi berkata, "Bukankah engkau pernah berkongsi satu perempat daripada hasil kaummu?" "Ya," kata 'Adi. Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Perbuatan seperti itu adalah dosa dalam agamamu, dan engkau tidak sepatutnya membenarkan dirimu melakukannya." "Ya, demi Allah, itu benar," kata 'Adi. "Maka dengan itu aku menyimpulkan bahawa dia adalah seorang Nabi yang diilhamkan oleh Allah, dan diutus kepada manusia. Dia mengetahui perkara yang ghaib."
On the authority of Ibn Ishaq, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) made him sit down in front of him in his house, the Prophet said, “O ‘Adi, were you not cast in disbelief?” “Yes”. ‘Adi said. “Did you not share one quarter of your people’s gains?” “Yes”. Said ‘Adi. The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) said: “It is sinful in your religion to do such a thing, and you should not allow yourself to do it.” “Yes, by Allâh, that is true”, said ‘Adi. “Thus I worked out that he was a Prophet inspired by Allâh, and sent to people. He knows what is unknown.”.
Dalam versi lain, Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Wahai 'Adi, peluklah Islam dan engkau akan selamat." "Tetapi saya seorang yang beragama," kata 'Adi. "Saya lebih mengetahui agamamu daripada engkau," kata Nabi ﷺ. "Adakah engkau mengetahui agamaku lebih baik daripadaku?" tanya 'Adi. Nabi ﷺ menjawab, "Ya". Baginda bersabda: "Bukankah engkau dihukum kufur kerana engkau mengambil untuk dirimu seperempat daripada hasil kaummu?" "Ya," kata 'Adi. "Perbuatan sedemikian adalah haram dalam agamamu." Nabi ﷺ bersabda, dan 'Adi menambah: "Baginda tidak perlu mengulanginya kerana saya terus bersetuju dengannya."
Al-Bukhari meriwayatkan bahawa 'Adi berkata: Ketika kami bersama Nabi ﷺ, seorang lelaki datang dan mengadu kepada baginda tentang kemiskinan. Kemudian seorang lelaki lain datang dan mengadu tentang rompakan di jalan raya. Rasulullah ﷺ kemudian bersabda: "Wahai 'Adi, pernahkah engkau pergi ke Al-Hirah? Jika engkau ditakdirkan panjang umur, engkau akan dapat melihat seorang wanita menunggang unta mengembara dari Hirah sehingga dia mengelilingi Al-Ka'bah tanpa takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah; dan jika engkau hidup cukup lama, engkau akan membuka perbendaharaan Kisra. Dan jika engkau hidup lama, engkau akan dapat melihat seorang lelaki menawarkan segenggam emas atau perak kepada orang lain, tetapi tiada seorang pun yang mahu mengambilnya."
Di penghujung hadis ini, 'Adi kemudian berkata: "Saya telah melihat seorang wanita menunggang unta mengembara dari Al-Hirah sehingga dia mengelilingi Ka'bah tanpa takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah, dan saya juga termasuk antara mereka yang membuka perbendaharaan Kisra bin Hurmuz. Jika engkau hidup lama, engkau akan menyaksikan apa yang telah disabdakan oleh Nabi, Abul Qasim ﷺ tentang 'menawarkan segenggam …', iaitu ramalan Nabi ﷺ benar-benar menjadi kenyataan."
In another version, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “‘Adi, embrace Islam and you shall be secure.” “But I am a man of religion.” Said ‘Adi. “I know your religion better than you.” Said the Prophet. “Do you know my religion better than me?” ‘Adi asked. The Prophet replied, “Yes”. He said: “Are you not cast in disbelief because you appropriate to yourself the fourth of your people’s gains?” “Yes”. Said ‘Adi. “It is unlawful in your religion to do such a thing.” The Prophet said, and ‘‘Adi added: “He did not need to say it again for I immediately acquiesced it.” Al-Bukhari narrates that ‘Adi said: While we were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) , a man came in and complained to him about poverty. Then another man came in and complained about highway robbery. The Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) then said: “O ‘Adi, have you ever been to Al-Hirah? If you were doomed to live long life, you would be able to see a riding camel woman travel from Hirah till it circumambulates Al-Ka‘bah fearing none but Allâh; and if you were to live long enough you would open the treasures of Kisra. And if you were to live long you would be able to see man offering a handful of gold or silver to others but none accepts to take it.” At the end of this Hadith ‘Adi later on says: “I have seen a riding camel woman travel from Al-Hirah till it circumambulates the Ka‘bah fearing none but Allâh, I have also been one of those who opened the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz. If you were to live long life you would witness what the Prophet, Abul Qasim, (peace be upon him) had already said about ‘offering a handful of …’ i.e. the Prophet’s prophecies did really come true.”
