Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُسِرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَبَى قَالَ فَجَعَلَ عَمْرٌو يَسْأَلُهُ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يَدَّعِيَ أَمَانًا قَالَ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hajjaj told us, they said: Shu'bah told us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from a man of the people of Egypt narrating from Amr ibn al-As, that he said: Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr was taken captive and refused [to acknowledge protection]. He said: Amr kept questioning him, wishing that he would claim to have been granted safe conduct. Amr said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "The lowest-ranking of the Muslims may grant protection on behalf of the Muslims."
