حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُرَيْحٌ هُوَ ابْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ فِي نَاسٍ مَعَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى دَنَوْا مِنَ الْحِصْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ امْكُثُوا أَنْتُمْ حَتَّى أَنْطَلِقَ أَنَا فَأَنْظُرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتَلَطَّفْتُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ الْحِصْنَ فَفَقَدُوا حِمَارًا لَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجُوا بِقَبَسٍ يَطْلُبُونَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أُعْرَفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَغَطَّيْتُ رَأْسِي وَجَلَسْتُ كَأَنِّي أَقْضِي حَاجَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَادَى صَاحِبُ الْبَابِ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فَلْيَدْخُلْ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُغْلِقَهُ فَدَخَلْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ اخْتَبَأْتُ فِي مَرْبِطِ حِمَارٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْحِصْنِ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَعَشَّوْا عِنْدَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ وَتَحَدَّثُوا حَتَّى ذَهَبَتْ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا هَدَأَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَلَا أَسْمَعُ حَرَكَةً خَرَجْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْبَابِ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ مِفْتَاحَ الْحِصْنِ فِي كَوَّةٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَفَتَحْتُ بِهِ بَابَ الْحِصْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ نَذِرَ بِي الْقَوْمُ انْطَلَقْتُ عَلَى مَهَلٍ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ عَمَدْتُ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِهِمْ فَغَلَّقْتُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ظَاهِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ فِي سُلَّمٍ فَإِذَا الْبَيْتُ مُظْلِمٌ قَدْ طَفِئَ سِرَاجُهُ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَعَمَدْتُ نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ فَأَضْرِبُهُ وَصَاحَ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ كَأَنِّي أُغِيثُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ وَغَيَّرْتُ صَوْتِي؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُعْجِبُكَ لِأُمِّكَ الْوَيْلُ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَجُلٌ فَضَرَبَنِي بِالسَّيْفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَعَمَدْتُ لَهُ أَيْضًا،‏‏‏‏ فَأَضْرِبُهُ أُخْرَى فَلَمْ تُغْنِ شَيْئًا فَصَاحَ وَقَامَ أَهْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَغَيَّرْتُ صَوْتِي كَهَيْئَةِ الْمُغِيثِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَأَضَعُ السَّيْفَ فِي بَطْنِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَنْكَفِئُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ الْعَظْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ دَهِشًا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ السُّلَّمَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَنْزِلَ فَأَسْقُطُ مِنْهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَانْخَلَعَتْ رِجْلِي فَعَصَبْتُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ أَصْحَابِي أَحْجُلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ انْطَلِقُوا فَبَشِّرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنِّي لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ النَّاعِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ صَعِدَ النَّاعِيَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْعَى أَبَا رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُمْتُ أَمْشِي مَا بِي قَلَبَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَدْرَكْتُ أَصْحَابِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَشَّرْتُهُ".

SAHIH HADITH:

Narrated Al-Bara: Allah's Apostle sent `Abdullah bin 'Atik and `Abdullah bin `Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi` (to kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle, whereupon `Abdullah bin Atik said to them, Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see. `Abdullah said later on, I played a trick in order to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and pretended to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi` and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to their homes. When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the castle, saying to myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I locked all the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi` by a staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi`!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Are you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi` cried loudly and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi` lying straight on his back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell Allah's Apostle of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu Rafi`'s) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, 'I convey to you the news of Abu Rafi`'s death.' I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up with my companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I conveyed the good news.
