my kingdom (over which I am its king), I would have visited him and kissed his shoes. So<br />
reside in this land as long as you wish.’ He then commanded that food and nice<br />
garments be provided to us, and said: ‘Return these two their gifts.’ `Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ<br />
was a short man whereas `Umaarah was handsome. (On their way to Abyssinia) they<br />
both got intoxicated. `Amr’s wife had also accompanied him. When they both were<br />
intoxicated, `Umaarah said to `Amr: ‘Ask your wife to kiss me.’ `Amr replied: ‘Are you<br />
not ashamed (to say that)?’ So `Umaarah threw `Amr into the sea, and `Amr had to beg<br />
till `Umaarah allowed him back on to the boat; and because of this, `Amr held a grudge<br />
against `Umaarah. So `Amr said to al-Najaashee: ‘When you are away, `Umaarah goes<br />
to your wife.’ So, al-Najaashee summoned `Umaarah and had a spell cast on him and<br />
he became insane.” 235<br />
This is also how al-Baihaqee reported it in “al-Dalaa’il” till the statement: “He then<br />
commanded that food and clothes be provided to us.” 236 And he (al-Baihaqee) said: The<br />
chain of this narration is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, and apparently it seems that Abu Moosaa was in<br />
Makkah and that he traveled with Ja`far Ibn Abu Ṭaalib to Abyssinia.<br />
<strong>Al</strong>so, it is reported with a “Ṣaḥeeḥ” chain from Buraid 237 Ibn `Abdullaah Ibn Abee<br />
Burdah, from his grandfather Abu Burdah, from Abu Moosaa :رضيُاهللُعنه “They received<br />
the news of the departure of the Prophet (to al-Madeenah) while they were in Yemen.<br />
So, over fifty men went into exile on board a ship, but their ship took them away to al-<br />
Najaashee in Abyssinia. There they met Ja`far Ibn Abu Ṭaalib and his companions (who<br />
were already living there). Ja`far instructed them to stay with him, so they stayed with<br />
him till they came (to al-Madeenah) by the time when the Prophet ﷺ had conquered<br />
Khaibar.” 238<br />
235 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): Abu Nu`aim in “al-Dalaa’il” (196) from the route of al-Israa’eel, from Abu Is-ḥaaq,<br />
from Abu Burdah, from Abu Moosaa…and this chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” – as will be further mentioned in this book –<br />
except for what we had earlier mentioned about the Tadlees of Abu Is-ḥaaq al-Sabee`ee and that he got mixedup.<br />
And this is one of the narrations which Abu Nu`aim reported through al-Ṭabaraanee. <strong>Al</strong>-Haithamee said: “al-<br />
Ṭabaraanee reported it and its narrators are of the level of “Ṣaḥeeḥ”.” <strong>Al</strong>-Ḥaakim reported it in “al-Mustadrak”<br />
(3208) and said: “It is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” as per the condition of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim”, and al-Dhahabee agreed with<br />
him.<br />
236 I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: The same was also reported by al-Ḥaakim but with the addition: “Return to them their<br />
gifts.” [TN: Both al-Ḥaakim and al-Baihaqee did not mention the incident between `Amr and `Umaarah]<br />
237 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): In “al-Dalaa’il”, originally it was mentioned as: “Yazeed” (يزيد) instead of “Buraid”<br />
and this is a distortion. This often happens when the scribes who were involved in the process of verification ,(بريد)<br />
and making copies have no knowledge about the narrators.<br />
238 [TN: The Companions returned in three stages from Abyssinia. 1) Some like `Uthmaan Ibn `Affaan رضيُاهللُعنه and<br />
his wife, Ruqayyah, the daughter of the Prophet ,ﷺ returned to Makkah before the migration of the Prophet<br />
