English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
While 'Umar was at home in a state of fear, there came Al-'As bin Wail As-Sahmi Abu 'Amr, wearing an embroidered cloak and a shirt having silk hems. He was from the tribe of Bani Sahm who were our allies during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. Al-'As said to 'Umar "What is wrong with you?" He said, "Your people claim that they would kill me if I become a Muslim." Al-'As said, "Nobody will harm you after I have given protection to you." So Al-'As went out and met the people streaming in the whole valley. He said, "Where are you going?" They said, "We want Ibn Al-Khattab who has embraced Islam." Al-'As said, "There is no way for anybody to touch him." So the people retreated.

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي جَدِّي زَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : "
بَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي الدَّارِ خَائِفًا إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيُّ أَبُو عَمْرٍو عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةُ حِبَرَةٍ , وَقَمِيصٌ مَكْفُوفٌ بِحَرِيرٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ وَهُمْ حُلَفَاؤُنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَا بَالُكَ ؟ قَالَ : زَعَمَ قَوْمُكَ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَقْتُلُونِي إِنْ أَسْلَمْتُ ، قَالَ : لَا سَبِيلَ إِلَيْكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَمِنْتُ فَخَرَجَ الْعَاصِ فَلَقِيَ النَّاسَ قَدْ سَالَ بِهِمْ الْوَادِي ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ ؟ فَقَالُوا : نُرِيدُ هَذَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ الَّذِي صَبَا ، قَالَ : لَا سَبِيلَ إِلَيْهِ , فَكَرَّ النَّاسُ
