Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ وَكَانَ لَهُ بَلَاءٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حَسَنٌ وَكَانَ صَدِيقًا لِلْعَبَّاسِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ جَاءَ بِأَبِيهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَايِعْهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَأَبَى وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا لَا هِجْرَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى الْعَبَّاسِ وَهُوَ فِي السِّقَايَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَبِي يُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَأَبَى قَالَ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ مَعَهُ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ فُلَانٍ وَأَتَاكَ بِأَبِيهِ لِتُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَأَبَيْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهَا لَا هِجْرَةَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَتُبَايِعَنَّهُ قَالَ فَبَسَطَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَاتِ أَبْرَرْتُ قَسَمَ عَمِّي وَلَا هِجْرَةَ.
English Translation
There was a man from the Muhajirun called Abd al-Rahman ibn Safwan who had a fine record in Islam and was a friend of al-Abbas. When the day of the conquest of Makkah came, he brought his father to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, accept his pledge of allegiance for migration.' He refused and said: 'There is no more migration.' He went to al-Abbas who was at the watering station and said: 'O Abu al-Fadl, I brought my father to the Messenger of Allah to pledge allegiance for migration, and he refused.' Al-Abbas stood with him without even wearing his upper garment and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you know the relationship between me and so-and-so. He brought his father to you to pledge allegiance for migration, and you refused.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no more migration.' Al-Abbas said: 'I adjure you to accept his pledge.' So the Messenger of Allah extended his hand and said: 'Here, I have honored the oath of my uncle, but there is no more migration.'
