海拜尔是一片广阔、防御坚固的地区，遍布城堡与农田，位于麦地那以北约60至80英里处，如今是一个气候恶劣的村庄。在侯代毕亚和约签订之后，反伊斯兰的三方联盟中的主力——古莱什人、奈季德的游牧部落联军以及犹太人——已被削弱，因此先知ﷺ认为时机已到，应当与另外两方——犹太人和奈季德各部落——解决彼此的事务，以使和平与安全得以维持，穆斯林也能将时间与精力用于传播安拉的讯息，并呼吁人们接受它。海拜尔一直是阴谋与密谋的温床，犹太人长期以来把它作为军事挑衅与煽动战争的中心，因此它被列为先知ﷺ紧迫事务议程中的首要任务。海拜尔的犹太人曾通过古老的盟约与联军结盟，煽动白尼古莱宰背信弃义，与加坦和阿拉伯人保持联系，甚至还策划过谋害先知ﷺ的企图。事实上，穆斯林所遭受的持续苦难主要归咎于犹太人。先知ﷺ曾多次派遣使者前去寻求和平解决，但均无结果。因此，先知ﷺ得出结论：为了防止他们的敌对行动，必须发动一场军事远征。

Khaibar was a spacious strongly fortified territory, studded with castles and farms, lying at a distance of 60-80 miles north of Madinah, now a village known for its uncongenial climate. After Al-Hudaibiyah Treaty, the major party of the anti-Islam tripartite coalition — Quraish, the bedouin horde of Najd tribes and the Jews — was neutralized, therefore, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) deemed it an appropriate time to settle his affairs with the other two wings — the Jews and the Najd tribes — in order that peace and security could prevail and the Muslims may devote their time and effort in propagating the Message of Allâh and calling people to embrace it. Khaibar itself had always remained a hotbed of intrigue and conspiracy, and the Jews had always constituted it a source of military provocations and war instigation centre, so it was given a top priority on the agenda of the Prophet’s compelling exigencies. The Jews of Khaibar had united by an ancient alliance with the Confederates, triggered Bani Quraiza to practise treachery, maintained contacts with Ghatfan and the Arabians and they even devised an attempt at the Prophet’s life. In fact, the continual afflictions that the Muslims had sustained were primarily attributable to the Jews. Envoys were repeatedly sent to them for peaceful settlement, but all in vain. Consequently the Prophet (Peace be upon him) came to the conclusion that a military campaign was a must in order to forestall their hostilities.

注释家们认为，攻克海拜尔是真主在祂的经文中所暗示的一项应许：

Interpreters of the Noble Qur’ân suggest that capturing Khaibar had been a Divine promise implied in Allâh’s Words:

“安拉已经答应你们将获得许多战利品，你们将会获取它们，并且为你们提前给予了这些。”[48:20]

• “Allâh has promised you abundant spoils that you will capture, and He has hastened for you this.” [48:20].

即,侯代比耶和約以及哈proper投降…… Wait, I should translate faithfully, not invent. Correct version: 即侯代比耶和约与哈伊拜尔的投降。

i.e., Al-Hudaibiyah Peace Treaty and the surrender of Khaibar.

在胡代比叶远征中，伪信者和心怀疾病的人曾经不肯与真正的穆斯林同行。于是，全能的安拉将下面这些话启示给了祂的先知ﷺ：

The hypocrites and people weak oheart had hung back from joining the true Muslims in Al-Hudaibiyah campaigns, so now Allâh, the All-Mighty inculcated the following words in His Prophet’s ears:

“落在后面的人将会说，当你们出发去取战利品时，‘让我们跟随你们吧。’他们想要改变安拉的话语。你说：‘你们不得跟随我们；安拉早已这样宣示了。’然后他们将会说：‘不，你们是嫉妒我们。’不，他们几乎不理解，只有一点点。”[48:15]

• “Those who lagged behind will say, when you set forth to take the spoils, ‘Allow us to follow you.’ They want to change Allâh’s Words. Say: ‘You shall not follow us; thus Allâh has said beforehand.’ Then they will say: ‘Nay, you envy us.’ Nay, but they understand not except a little.” [48:15].

因此,先知(愿主赐予他平安)只邀请那些愿意为安拉之道而战的人跟随他远征海宜伯尔。只有1400人,他们曾响应他的召唤而宣誓效忠。

For this reason, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) invited only those who were willing to fight in the cause of Allâh to accompany him in his march against Khaibar. 1400 men only, who had sworn allegiance in response to his call.

与此同时，西巴·本·阿尔法塔（Siba‘ bin ‘Arfatah）·阿尔-吉法里被选派管理麦地那的事务。另一件意义重大的事情也值得一提，即艾布·胡莱赖（Abu Huraira）的归信伊斯兰。他是受人敬重的穆斯林学者，也是先知圣训的可靠传述者。

Meanwhile, Siba‘ bin ‘Arfatah Al-Ghifari was chosen to run the affairs of Madinah. Another incident of high significance is noteworthy, namely the Islamization of Abu Huraira, a venerable Muslim scholar and an authentic narrator of the Prophetic traditions.

阿拉伯半岛的伪信者察觉到伊斯兰的新动向，于是开始向犹太人通风报信，告知即将来临的军事行动。他们的首领阿卜杜拉·本·乌拜伊派遣使者前往海巴尔的犹太人那里，警告他们即将到来的危险，并怂恿他们抵抗穆斯林，理由是他们人数更多、装备更精良。犹太人得到消息后，派遣吉纳纳·本·艾比·哈格伊格和豪达·本·盖斯前往他们昔日的盟友——安塔法尼部落，请求军事援助，并许诺：如果他们能够战胜穆斯林，就将他们农田所产果实的一半给予对方。

The hypocrites of Arabia took notice of the fresh Islamic intentions so they began to alert the Jews to the imminent military activities. Their chief, ‘Abdullah bin Ubai delegated an envoy to the Jews of Khaibar warning them against the dangers approaching, and nerving them to resist the Muslims as they outnumbered the latter and were better equipped. On hearing the news the Jews despatched Kinanah bin Abi Al-Huqaiq and Haudha bin Qais to their former allies, the tribe of Ghatfan requesting military assistance, promising to grant them half the yield of the fruit that their farms could yield if they managed to beat the Muslims.

先知行军经过伊斯拉山,然后率军继续前进,直到在一个名为拉吉厄的山谷驻扎下来,驻地位于海巴尔与加特凡之间,以阻止加特凡人增援犹太人。随行的向导把他带到一个交叉路口,从那里分出三条路,名称各不相同,但都通往他的目的地。他因前两条路的名称不吉利而没有走,而选择了第三条路,因为它的名称预示着吉祥。

The Prophet marched by way of Isra Mountain and then went forward with the army till he halted in a valley called Ar-Raji‘, encamping between Khaibar and Ghatfan so as to prevent the latter from reinforcing the Jews. The guides accompanying him led him to an intersection from which branched out three roads with different designations; all leading to his destination. He abstained from following the first two roads on grounds of their ominous designation and chose the third for its propitious indications.

值得注意的是，穆斯林向海拜尔进军期间发生了一些有趣的事件，我们在此提及以下几件：

It is noteworthy that some interesting incidents featured the Muslims’ march towards Khaibar; of which we mention the following:

1. 据萨拉马·本·阿库尔（Salamah bin Al-Akwa‘）传述，他说：我们和安拉的使者ﷺ一同向海拜尔（Khaibar）进军。我们夜间赶路。有一个人对我的哥哥阿米尔（‘Amir）说：阿米尔，你不给我们念几首你的诗吗？于是他开始吟诵自己的诗句来催促骆驼，吟道：

1. It has been narrated on the authority of Salamah bin Al-Akwa‘, who said: We marched upon Khaibar with the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him). We journeyed during the night. One of the men said to my brother ‘Amir: Won’t you recite to us some of your verses, ‘Amir? So he began to chant his verses to urge the camels, reciting:

啊安拉，若不是你引导我们，

• O Allâh, if You had not guided us.

若非真主引导，我们便不会走上正道，也不会行施舍，更不会礼拜。

We would have neither been guided rightly nor practised charity, nor offered prayers.

我们愿为你献出生命;所以请宽恕我们的过失。

We wish to lay down our lives for You; so forgive You our lapses,.

愿真主使我们在遭遇（我们的敌人）时保持坚定。

And keep us steadfast when we encounter (our enemies).

愿真主赐予我们平安与安宁。

Bestow upon us peace and tranquility,.

看哪，当他们呼喊着向我们求助的时候。

Behold, when with a cry they called upon us to help.

安拉的使者ﷺ说："这位赶骆驼的人是谁？"他们说："是阿米尔。"他说："愿安拉怜悯他。"有人说："他注定要成为殉道者；安拉的使者啊，但愿您准许我们长久地享受他的生命。"众圣门弟子早已知道，先知ﷺ若为某位亲近的圣门弟子祈求安拉的怜悯，便是要使他获得殉道的荣誉。

The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: “Who is this driver (of the camels)?” They said: “It is ‘Amir.” He said: “Allâh will show mercy to him.” A man said: “Martyrdom is reserved for him; O Messenger of Allâh, would that you had allowed us to benefit ourselves from his life.” The Prophet’s Companions had already known that he would never invoke Allâh’s mercy upon a close Companion but to single him out for martyrdom.

2. 穆斯林们在下山谷的途中,开始高声颂扬安拉的伟大,大声喊道:“安拉至大,安拉至大,除安拉外再无应受崇拜的主。”先知ﷺ让他们放低声音,说:“你们所祈求的,既不是不在场的,也不是聋的;祂就在你们近旁,是至聪的。”

2. On their way down a valley, the Muslims began to entertain Allâh’s Greatness: shouting at the top of their voices: “Allâh is Great, Allâh is Great, there is no god but Allâh.” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked them to lower down their voices saying: “The One you are invoking is neither absent nor deaf; He is close to you, All-hearing.”.

3. 在一个名叫“阿斯-萨赫巴”的地方，距离海拜尔不远，先知ﷺ做了晡礼，然后召集他的同伴们，让他们拿出各自所有的食物。他们带来的食物太少，不够大家吃饱。先知ﷺ用手接过食物，食物的数量立刻增多，于是他们全都吃饱了。不久之后，他和其他人漱了口，不重新净身就礼了昏礼；夜礼他也是同样这样做的。

3. In a spot called As-Sahba’, not far from Khaibar, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) observed the afternoon prayer, then he called his Companions to have whatever food provisions they had. What they brought was too scanty to satisfy them all. The Prophet took it by his hand and it immediately grew in quantity, so they all ate to their fill. Shortly afterward, he and the others, rinsed their mouths and performed the evening prayer without ablution; he did the same for the night prayer.

第二天早上,太阳刚升起时,穆斯林遇见了犹太人。他们带着斧头、铁锹和绳子,正赶着牲畜,准备外出工作。他们惊讶地大声喊道:“穆罕默德带着他的军队来了!”安拉的使者ﷺ说:“安拉至大!哈巴尔必将毁灭。看哪!当我们降临到城中心时,那些曾被警告却不接受劝告的人,将度过糟糕的一天。”

The following morning, at sunrise, the Muslims encountered the Jews when they had come out about their jobs with their axes, spades and strings driving their cattle along. They began to shout in surprise: “Muhammad has come along with his force!” The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: “Allâh is Great, Khaibar shall face destruction. Behold! When we descend in the city centre, it will be a bad day for those who have been warned (but have not taken heed).”.

关于扎营，先知ﷺ曾选定一处他认为适合作为军营指挥部的土地。然而，他的一位老战士名叫胡巴卜·本·蒙齐尔，建议他们出于战争需要，并为了尽可能提供后勤便利，转移到另一个地方。当接近海拜尔附近时，先知ﷺ命令部队停下，并开始向他的主祈求，说：“真主啊！你是七重天及其下所藏之物的主，你是七层大地及其腹中所藏之物的主，你是众魔鬼及被他们引入迷途者的主；我们恳求你赐予我们这个村庄（海拜尔）的福祉，其居民的福祉，以及其中所蕴含的福祉。我们求你庇护，使我们免受这个村庄的邪恶、其居民的邪恶，以及其中所蕴含的邪恶。”然后他下令：“现在，奉真主之名向（村庄）进发。”

For encampment, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) had chosen a certain plot of land he deemed suitable to serve as the headquarters of his army. However, a veteran fighter of his called Hubab bin Al-Mundhir suggested that they, under the exigencies of war requirements and for the sake of providing maximum logistic facilities, shift to another place. On approaching the vicinity of Khaibar, the Prophet ordered his troops to halt, and began to invoke his Lord saying: “O Allâh! Lord of the seven heavens and what they harbour beneath, Lord of the seven earths and what lies in their wombs, Lord of devils and whomsoever they have led astray; we beseech You to grant us the good of this village (Khaibar), the good of its inhabitants and the good that lies in it. We seek refuge with You from the evil of this village, the evil of its inhabitants, and the evil that lies in it.” Then he ordered, “Now march (towards the village) in the Name of Allâh.”.

“旗帜”，先知（愿主赐福他并使他平安）宣布：“明天我将把旗帜交给一个爱真主和祂的使者、也为真主和祂的使者所爱的人。”次日早晨，所有穆斯林都上前，希望得到携带旗帜的荣誉。先知ﷺ召唤了眼睛疼痛的阿里·本·阿比·塔利卜，把旗帜交给了他。阿里表示，他会与敌人作战，直到他们皈依伊斯兰。先知ﷺ回答他说：“慢慢来，邀请他们接受伊斯兰，并告知他们对真主应尽的责任。我指真主起誓，若只因你的榜样而有一人得到引导，那对你而言，就胜过最好的骆驼。”

“The banner”, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) declared “would be entrusted to a man who loves Allâh and His Messenger and they (Allâh and His Messenger) love him.” All the Muslims came forward in the following morning hoping to be granted the honour of carrying the banner. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) called for ‘Ali bin Abi Talib whose eyes used to hurt, and handed it to him. ‘Ali, on his part, pledged he would fight the enemies until they embraced Islam. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) answered him saying: “Take things easy and invite them to accept Islam and brief them on their duties towards Allâh. I swear by Allâh that if only one should be guided through your example, that would surely outweigh the best of our camels.”.

海拜尔似乎被分为两部分：第一部分有五座堡垒：纳伊姆、艾斯-萨尔布·本·穆阿兹堡、祖拜尔的城堡、阿比堡，以及舍基克中的安-尼扎尔堡；第二部分有另外三座：盖慕斯、瓦提赫和萨拉利姆。

Khaibar, it seems, was split into two parts with five forts in the first: Na‘im, As-Sa‘b bin Mu‘adh, the castle of Az-Zubair, ’Abi Castle, and An-Nizar in Ash-Shiqq; three others were in part two: Al-Qamus, Al-Wateeh and As-Salalim.

先知ﷺ开始了这场战役,依次攻下了一些小据点。他首先要攻打的是纳伊姆堡垒,那是第一道防线,地理位置十分险要。马赫拉布是该堡垒的首领,他邀请阿米尔·本·阿尔-阿克瓦单人决斗,后者应战。阿米尔击向那名犹太人时,剑却反弹回来,伤了他的膝盖,他因这伤口而身亡。先知ﷺ later说道:“他(阿米尔)在后世将获得双倍的回报。”他说这话时,把两根手指并在一起以示此意。随后,阿里·本·阿比·塔利卜主动出战马赫拉布,并成功将其杀死。马赫拉布的兄弟亚西尔接着出现,向穆斯林挑战。祖拜尔应战,当场将他杀死。随后真正的战斗爆发,持续了数日。犹太人表现出勇气,即便面对伊斯兰久经沙场的老兵们一次次的猛攻,他们依然异常顽强。然而,他们最终意识到抵抗已毫无意义,开始放弃纳伊姆的阵地,转而退入萨阿布堡垒。胡巴卜·本·阿尔-孟济尔·阿尔-安萨里领导了对萨阿布堡垒的进攻,并将其围困三天。之后,穆斯林攻入堡垒,获得了大量战利品、给养和食物。此次胜利,是在先知ﷺ祈求安拉助佑巴努·阿斯拉姆人、使他们能够不懈而勇敢地攻取该堡垒之后取得的。

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) began the campaign by reducing the minor strongholds one after the other. The first fort he was to attack was Na‘im, the first defence line with a formidable strategic position. Marhab, the leader of the fort, invited ‘Amr bin Al-Akwa‘ to meet him in combat and the latter responded; when ‘Amr struck the Jew, his sword recoiled and wounded his knee, and he died of that wound. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) later said: “For him (‘Amir) there is a double reward in the Hereafter.” He indicated this by putting two of his fingers together. ‘Ali bin Abi Talib then undertook to meet Marhab in combat, and managed to kill him. Yasir, Marhab’s brother, then turned up challenging the Muslims to a fight. Az-Zubair was equal to it and killed him on the spot. Real fighting then broke out and lasted for a few days. The Jews showed courage and proved to be too formidable even to the repeated rushes of the veteran soldiers of Islam. However, they later realized the futility of resistance and began to abandon their positions in An-Na‘im and infiltrate into the fortress of As-Sa‘b. Al-Hubab bin Al-Mundhir Al-Ansari led the attack on As-Sa‘b fortress and laid siege to it for three days after which the Muslims stormed it with a lot of booty, provisions and food to fall to their lot therein. This victory came in the wake of the Prophet’s (Peace be upon him) invocation to Allâh to help Banu Aslam in their relentless and daring attempts to capture that fort.

在战争行动进行期间，穆斯林遭遇了极度的饥饿。他们生火，宰杀家养的驴，把驴肉放进锅里煮。先知ﷺ问起火堆和烹煮之事，便下令他们把肉倒掉，并洗净烹煮用的锅，禁止食用此类肉。

During the process of the war operations, extreme hunger struck the Muslims. They lit fires, slaughtered domestic asses and beto cook them. When the Prophet (Peace be upon him) inquired about the fires and cooking, he ordered that they throw away the meat and wash the cooking pots, forbidding the practice of eating such meat.

与此同时,犹太人撤离了阿纳特,退守祖拜尔堡垒。该堡垒防御坚固,骑兵和步兵都难以攻入。穆斯林围攻了三天,却一无所获。一名犹太间谍将一处地下水源告知了先知ﷺ,该水源一直为他们提供用水,他建议切断水源,以削弱他们的抵抗。先知ﷺ便照此行事,犹太人被迫出堡与穆斯林展开激烈的战斗,其间有一些穆斯林和十名犹太人阵亡,但堡垒最终还是被攻克了。

The Jews, meanwhile, evacuated An-Natat and barricaded themselves in Az-Zubair fort, a formidable defensive position inaccessible to both cavalry and infantry. The Muslims besieged it for three days, but in vain. A Jew spy told the Prophet about a subterranean water source that provided them with water, and advised that it be cut off in order to undermine their resistance. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) did that so the Jews got out to engage with the Muslims in fierce fighting during which some Muslims and ten Jews were killed, but the fort was eventually conquered.

当先知(愿主福安之)与其军队进军到哈巴尔的这一部分,即卡提巴时,他对其实施了长达十四天的重围,犹太人则躲在堡垒内闭门自守。当先知准备使用攻城槌时,犹太人意识到自己将会灭亡,于是他们请求进行可以协商的和平条约。

When the Prophet (Peace be upon him), along with his army, moved to this part of Khaibar, Al-Katiba, he laid a heavy siege to it for fourteen days with the Jews barricading themselves inside their forts. When he was about to use the rams, the Jews realized that they would perish, therefore, they asked for a negotiable peace treaty.

这一部分哈巴尔（及其三座堡垒）是否通过武力征服，是此处的一个争议点。伊本·易司哈格明确指出，安-卡慕斯堡垒是通过武力攻占的。而瓦基迪则认为，三座堡垒都是通过和平谈判获得的，若有武力，也只是为了将堡垒移交给穆斯林，另外两座堡垒则未经战斗便投降了。

There is one controversial point in this context. Was this part of Khaibar (with its three forts) conquered by force? Ibn Ishaq clearly stated that Al-Qamus fort was conquered by force. Al-Waqidi, on the other hand, maintained that the three forts were taken through peace negotiations, and force, if any, was resorted to only to hand the fort over to the Muslims; the two other forts surrendered without fighting.

伊本·阿比·哈基克被派往安拉的使者（ﷺ）那里商议投降协议。先知（ﷺ）同意饶恕他们的性命，条件是他们要撤离海巴尔及其邻近的土地，但可以带走他们所拥有的金银。然而，他声明，如果他们隐瞒任何东西，他将不再承担任何承诺。不久之后，各个堡垒被交给了穆斯林，整个海巴尔被征服，并归于伊斯兰的统治之下。

Ibn Abi Al-Huqaiq was despatched to the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) to negotiate the surrender treaty. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) agreed to spare their lives on condition they evacuate Khaibar and the adjacent land, leaving whatever gold and silver they had in their possession. However, he stipulated that he would disavow any commitment if they concealed anything. Shortly afterwards, the forts were handed over to the Muslims and all Khaibar was reduced and brought under the sway of Islam.

尽管有这份条约,阿布·胡盖格的两个儿子仍然藏匿了一个装满珠宝的皮袋,以及属于胡雅伊·本·阿赫塔卜的钱财。胡雅伊在布奈·纳迪尔被驱逐时随身带走了这些东西。奇纳纳·本·拉比尔曾把麝香藏在某处,他矢口否认,直到麝香被找到、他的欺骗被证实,才被处死。阿布·胡盖格的两个儿子因违背盟约而被处死,胡雅伊的女儿萨菲耶则被俘为奴。

This treaty notwithstanding, Abi Al-Huqaiq’s two sons concealed a leather bag full of jewels, and money belonging to Huyai bin Al-Akhtab, who carried it with him when Banu Nadir had been banished. Kinanah bin Ar-Rabi‘, who had hidden the musk somewhere, was obdurate in his denial and so he was killed when the musk was discovered and his dishonesty was proven. Abi Al-Huqaiq’s two sons were killed in recompense for breaching the covenant, and Safiyah, Huyai’s daughter was taken as a captive.

按照已经缔结的协议,犹太人本应撤离海巴尔,但他们很希望继续耕种那片肥沃的土地和著名的优质果园,海巴尔正是因此而闻名。于是他们来见先知ﷺ,请求允许他们继续耕种自己的土地,并将一半的收成交给穆斯林。穆罕默德ﷺ慈悯地答应了他们的请求。

In accordance with the agreement already concluded, the Jews would be obliged to evacuate Khaibar, but they were anxious to keep on cultivating the rich soil and fine orchard for which Khaibar was famous. They, therefore, approached the Prophet (Peace be upon him) with the request that they be allowed to cultivate their lands and they would give half of the produce to the Muslims. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was kind enough to accede to their request.

先知ﷺ将海拜尔的土地分为两半：一半用于储存粮食，以备穆斯林可能遭遇的任何意外灾难，也用于招待那些开始频繁来到麦地那的外国使团；另一半则分配给参加过胡戴比亚事件的穆斯林，无论是亲自在场还是不在场者。份额总数为36份，其中18份分给了上述的人。军队由1400人组成，其中有200名骑兵。骑兵分得3份，步兵分得1份。在海拜尔所获的战利品如此之多，以至于伊本·欧麦尔说：“在我们征服海拜尔之前，我们从未吃饱过。”据传阿伊莎（愿安拉喜悦她）说：“现在我们可以吃饱椰枣了。”

The Messenger (Peace be upon him) divided the land of Khaibar into two: one half to provide the food to be stored in case of any accidental calamity that might befall the Muslims, and for entertaining the foreign delegates who started to frequent Madinah a lot; the other half would go to the Muslims who had witnessed Al-Hudaibiyah event whether present or absent. The total number of shares came to 36, of which 18 were given to the people above-mentioned. The army consisted of 1400 men of whom were 200 horsemen. The horseman was allotted 3 shares and the footman one. The spoils taken at Khaibar were so great that Ibn ‘Umar said: “We never ate our fill until we had conquered Khaibar.” ‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) is narrated to have said: “Now we can eat our fill of dates.”.

当迁徙者返回麦地那时，他们能够把此前所接受的所有馈赠归还给麦地那的辅士。所有这些丰裕的景况，是在征服海巴尔之后、穆斯林开始获得巨大经济利益之后才出现的。

On their return to Madinah, the Emigrants were able to return to the Helpers of Madinah all the gifts they had received. All of this affluence came after the conquest of Khaibar and the great economic benefits that the Muslims began to reap.

攻克海巴尔之时,恰逢先知的堂兄哲尔法尔·本·阿比·塔利卜及其同伴到来,同来的还有阿布·穆萨·艾什尔里以及一些来自阿比西尼亚(埃塞俄比亚)的穆斯林。阿布·穆萨·艾什尔里叙述说,他与五十多位圣门弟子在也门时乘船,船把他们带到了阿比西尼亚(埃塞俄比亚),他们在那里恰好遇见了哲尔法尔及其同伴。他说:“我们与他们一同留在那里,直到先知ﷺ派使者召我们回去。我们回来时,发现他已经攻克了海巴尔,但他仍然给我们留出了应得的战利品份额。”这些人的到来,是应安拉的使者ﷺ通过先知的使者阿慕尔·本·欧迈耶·达姆里向阿比西尼亚(埃塞俄比亚)国王纳贾西所提出的请求而成行的。纳贾西派他们回来,连同妻子和孩子共十六人,乘坐两艘船。其余的迁徙者此前已经抵达麦地那。

The conquest of Khaibar coincided with the arrival of the Prophet’s cousin Ja‘far bin Abi Talib and his companions along with Abi Musa Al-Ash‘ari and some Muslims from Abyssinia (Ethiopia). Abu Musa Al-Ash‘ari narrated that he and over fifty companions, while in Yemen, took a ship which landed them in Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and they happened to meet there Ja‘far and his companions. He said, “We stayed together until the Prophet (Peace be upon him) sent an envoy asking us to come back. When we returned, we found out that he had already conquered Khaibar, yet he gave us our due shares of the spoils.” The advent of those men came at the request made by the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) to Negus, king of Abyssinia (Ethiopia), through a Prophetic deputy, ‘Amr bin Omaiya Ad-Damari. Negus sent them back, 16 men altogether with their wives and children on two boats. The rest of emigrants had arrived in Madinah earlier.
