حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: اجْمَعْ لِي قَوْمَكَ، فَجَمَعَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوا بَابَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: قَدْ جَمَعْتُ لَكَ قَوْمِي، فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الأَنْصَارُ فَقَالُوا: قَدْ نَزَلَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ الْوَحْيُ، فَجَاءَ الْمُسْتَمِعُ وَالنَّاظِرُ مَا يُقَالُ لَهُمْ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَامَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ فَقَالَ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فِينَا حَلِيفُنَا وَابْنُ أُخْتِنَا وَمَوَالِينَا، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: حَلِيفُنَا مِنَّا، وَابْنُ أُخْتِنَا مِنَّا، وَمَوَالِينَا مِنَّا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ: إِنَّ أَوْلِيَائِي مِنْكُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ أُولَئِكَ فَذَاكَ، وَإِلاَّ فَانْظُرُوا، لاَ يَأْتِي النَّاسُ بِالأَعْمَالِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَتَأْتُونَ بِالأَثْقَالِ، فَيُعْرَضَ عَنْكُمْ، ثُمَّ نَادَى فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ يَضَعَهُمَا عَلَى رُءُوسِ قُرَيْشٍ، أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهْلُ أَمَانَةٍ، مَنْ بَغَى بِهِمْ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ: الْعَوَاثِرَ، كَبَّهُ اللَّهُ لِمِنْخِرَيْهِ، يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ.

Rifa'a ibn Rafi' reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, said to 'Umar, "Gather your people [the Muhajirun] for me." Hedid so. When they reached the door of the Prophet, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, 'Umar came to him and said, "I have gathered my people foryou." The Ansar heard that and said, "Revelation has been revealed aboutQuraysh." People came to see and hear what would be said to them [the Muhajirun].The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came out and stoodin the midst of them. He said, "Are there those among you who are not ofyou?" They replied, "Yes, there are those among us with whom we have madetreaties as well as our nephews and our mawlas." The Prophet said, "Our allyis one of us. Our nephew is one of us. Our mawla is one of us." You who arelistening:
our friends among you are those who have taqwa of Allah. If youare one of them, then that is good. If that is not the case, then look out.People will bring their actions on the Day of Rising and you will come withburdens and you will be shunned." Then he called out, "O people!" He raisedhis hands and put them on the heads of Quraysh. "O people! Quraysh are thepeople of trustworthiness. If anyone who oppresses them (and one of thetransmitters thought that he said, 'faults them'), Allah will overturn him."He repeated that three times.
