Nabi mengampuni Hathib meskipun berkhianat membocorkan rencana Nabi kepada musyrikin karena menghargai peserta perang Badar
Imam Ahmad : 14247حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ غَزْوَهُمْ فَدُلَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي مَعَهَا الْكِتَابُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأُخِذَ كِتَابُهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا وَقَالَ يَا حَاطِبُ أَفَعَلْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ غِشًّا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ يُونُسُ غِشًّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا نِفَاقًا قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ مُظْهِرٌ رَسُولَهُ وَمُتِمٌّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ عَزِيزًا بَيْنَ ظَهْرِيهِمْ وَكَانَتْ وَالِدَتِي مِنْهُمْ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ هَذَا عِنْدَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَلَا أَضْرِبُ رَأْسَ هَذَا قَالَ أَتَقْتُلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ مَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ
Narrated to us [Hujain] and [Yunus] said: Narrated to us [Al Laits bin Sa'd] from [Abu Az Zubair] from [Jabir bin Abdullah], Hathib bin Abu Balta'ah wrote a letter to the people of Makkah to inform them that the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him wanted to fight them. The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him was told that there was a woman who was assigned to carry the letter. Then (The Messenger of Allah shallallahu'alaihi wasallam) sent someone to him and took the letter which was placed in a bun of his hair, and (The Messenger of Allah shallallahu'alaihi wasallam) said: "O Hathib have you done this? He said: Yes. Know, I did not do this because I wanted to cheat on The Messenger of Allah shallallahu'alaihi wasallam.-- Yunus said (in his narration) with the editor 'because of cheating, O The Messenger of Allah--, and not even because of nifaq, I really know that Allah will win His Messenger and perfect His affairs, only I am an honorable person among them, and my mother is one of them. So I wanted to do this to protect their honor. Then 'Umar said to (The Messenger of Allah shallallahu'alaihi wasallam), can I cut off this person's neck? Expert Badr? know that Allah The Mighty and Majestic already knew the followers of the Battle of Badr and said, "Do as you wish".
