Sahih al-Bukhari 3950

It is related that 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said, "Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was a friend of Umayya ibn Khalaf. When Umayya passed by Madina, he would stay with Sa'd and when Sa'd passed by Makka, he would stay with Umayya. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, arrived in Madina, Sa'd went to do 'umra and he stayed with Umayya in Makka. He said to Umayya, 'Look for a time when people have withdrawn so that I can do tawaf.' He took him out close to midday and Abu Jahl encountered them. He said, 'Abu Safwan, who is this with you?' He said, 'This is Sa'd.' Abu Jahl said to him, 'Do you think you can do tawaf of the Ka'ba in safety when you have given shelter to the heretics and you have stated that you will help and support them? By Allah, were it not that you were with Abu Safwan, you would not return safe to your family!' Sa'd said to him, raising his voice, 'By Allah, if you prevent me from this, I will prevent you from something which will be harder for you - travelling through Madina!' Umayya said to him, 'Sa'd, do not raise your voice to Abu'l-Hakam. He is the master of the people of the valley.' Sa'd said, 'Let me alone, Umayya! By Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that they will kill you!' He asked, 'In Makka?' He replied, 'I do not know.' Umayya was very alarmed by that. When he returned to his family, he said, 'Umm Safwan! Do you know what Sa'd said to me?' She asked, 'What did he say to you?' He said, 'He claims that he heard Muhammad assert that they will kill me. I asked him whether it was in Makka and he said, "I do not know."' Umayya said, 'By Allah, I will not leave Makka!' "When it was the Day of Badr Abu Jahl called out the people, 'Go and join your caravan!' Umayya did not like to go out, but Abu Jahl came to and said, 'Abu Safwan! If the people see that you have stayed behind, and you are one of the nobles of the people of the valley, they will stay behind.' Abu Jahl kept at him until he said, 'As you have overcome me, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Makka.' Then Umayya said, 'Umm Safwan, prepare my provisions.' She said to him, 'Abu Safwan, have you forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?' He said, 'No, but I only mean to travel a short distance with them.' When Umayya went out, he used to hobble his camel wherever he camped and he continued to do that until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, killed him at Badr."

Ahmad ibn ‘Uthman related to me: Shurayh ibn Maslamah related to us: Ibrahim ibn Yusuf related to us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, who said: ‘Amr ibn Maymun related to me that he heard ‘Abd Allah ibn Mas‘ud relate the following on the authority of Sa‘d ibn Mu‘adh: Sa‘d was a friend of Umayyah ibn Khalaf. Whenever Umayyah passed through Madinah he stayed with Sa‘d; and whenever Sa‘d visited Mecca he stayed with Umayyah. Shortly after the arrival of the Apostle of God at Madinah, Sa‘d went forth to make an ‘umrah, and stayed in Mecca with Umayyah. He said to Umayyah: Find out for me at what hour the mosque is empty, so that I may make the circuit round the House of God. And so Umayyah went with him to the mosque about midday. There Abu Jahl met them and said: O Abu Safwan! Who is this man with thee? Umayyah answered: This is Sa‘d. Thereupon Abu Jahl addressed Sa‘d: What! I see thee going about freely in Mecca, while ye have given shelter to those renegades, declaring that ye would help and support them? By God! Were it not that thou art with Abu Safwan, thou wouldst not return home unhurt! Sa‘d answered him with a loud voice: By God! If thou debar me from this worship of mine, I shall certainly debar thee from something which is more weighty for thee: thy way to Madinah! Thereupon Umayyah said unto him: Raise not thy voice, O Sa‘d, against Abu’l-Hakam, the chief of the people of the Valley! Sa‘d cried out: Let me alone, O Umayyah! By God! Verily, I heard the Apostle of God predict that the Muslims would kill thee! Umayyah asked: In Mecca? Sa‘d answered: I know it not. On hearing this, Umayyah was filled with great fear. When Umayyah came home, he said to his wife: O Umm Safwan! Dost thou know what Sa‘d told me? She asked what he had told him. He answered: He declared that Muhammad had informed them that they would kill me. I asked him: In Mecca? And he answered: I know it not. Umayyah added: By God! I shall not leave Mecca! Shortly before the battle of Badr, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying: Go to the help of your caravan! But Umayyah was loath to leave. Then Abu Jahl came unto him and said: O Abu Safwan! Behold, if the people see thee remain behind—thee, a chief of the people of the Valley—they also will remain behind. Abu Jahl pressed him until he said: As thou hast forced me, by God! I shall buy the swiftest camel in Mecca! Then Umayyah said to his wife: O Umm Safwan! Make my things ready! She said unto him: O Abu Safwan! Hast thou forgotten what thy friend from Yathrib told thee? He answered: No; but I do not propose going far with them. From the time he set out, Umayyah would rope his camel at every camping-place; and he went on doing so until God, the Lord of Might and Glory, caused him to be killed at Badr.
