Narrated `Ali:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me along with Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad and said, "Proceed till you reach a place called Raudat-Khakh where there is a lady travelling in a howda on a camel. She has a letter. Take the letter from her." So we set out, and our horses ran at full pace till we reached Raudat Khakh, and behold, we saw the lady and said (to her), "Take out the letter!" She said, "I have no letter with me." We said, "Either you take out the letter or we will strip you of your clothes." So she took the letter out of her hair braid. We brought the letter to the Prophet (ﷺ) and behold, it was addressed by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to some pagans at Mecca, informing them of some of the affairs of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What is this, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "Do not be hasty with me, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am an Ansari man and do not belong to them (Quraish infidels) while the emigrants who were with you had their relatives who used to protect their families and properties at Mecca. So, to compensate for not having blood relation with them.' I intended to do them some favor so that they might protect my relatives (at Mecca), and I did not do this out of disbelief or an inclination to desert my religion." The Prophet then said (to his companions), "He (Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off?" The Apostle said, "He is one of those who witnessed (fought in) the Battle of Badr, and what do you know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr (Badr warriors) and said, 'Do what you want as I have forgiven you.' " (`Amr, a sub-narrator, said,: This Verse was revealed about him (Hatib): 'O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends or protectors.' (60.1) Narrated `Ali: Sufyan was asked whether (the Verse): 'Take not My enemies and your enemies...' was revealed in connection with Hatib. Sufyan replied, "This occurs only in the narration of the people. I memorized the Hadith from `Amr, not overlooking even a single letter thereof, and I do not know of anybody who remembered it by heart other than myself

حدثنا الحميدي، حدثنا سفيان، حدثنا عمرو بن دينار، قال حدثني الحسن بن محمد بن علي، انه سمع عبيد الله بن ابي رافع، كاتب علي يقول سمعت عليا رضى الله عنه يقول بعثني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انا والزبير والمقداد فقال " انطلقوا حتى تاتوا روضة خاخ فان بها ظعينة معها كتاب فخذوه منها ". فذهبنا تعادى بنا خيلنا حتى اتينا الروضة فاذا نحن بالظعينة فقلنا اخرجي الكتاب فقالت ما معي من كتاب. فقلنا لتخرجن الكتاب او لنلقين الثياب. فاخرجته من عقاصها فاتينا به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاذا فيه من حاطب بن ابي بلتعة الى اناس من المشركين ممن بمكة يخبرهم ببعض امر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ما هذا يا حاطب ". قال لا تعجل على يا رسول الله اني كنت امرا من قريش ولم اكن من انفسهم وكان من معك من المهاجرين لهم قرابات يحمون بها اهليهم واموالهم بمكة فاحببت اذ فاتني من النسب فيهم ان اصطنع اليهم يدا يحمون قرابتي وما فعلت ذلك كفرا ولا ارتدادا عن ديني. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " انه قد صدقكم ". فقال عمر دعني يا رسول الله فاضرب عنقه. فقال " انه شهد بدرا وما يدريك لعل الله عز وجل اطلع على اهل بدر فقال اعملوا ما شيتم فقد غفرت لكم ". قال عمرو ونزلت فيه {يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تتخذوا عدوي وعدوكم} قال لا ادري الاية في الحديث او قول عمرو. حدثنا علي قيل لسفيان في هذا فنزلت {لا تتخذوا عدوي} قال سفيان هذا في حديث الناس حفظته من عمرو وما تركت منه حرفا وما ارى احدا حفظه غيري
