第23章 哈桷拜尔之战
23 The Battle of Khaybar
安拉的使者ﷺ从al-Hudaybiyah返回后在麦地那停留了十五夜,然后他命令穆斯林准备进攻Khaybar,条件是只有曾与他一同在al-Hudaybiyah的人参加。
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) remained in Madinah for fifteen nights after returning from al-Hudaybiyah, he then ordered the Muslims to prepare for a raid on Khaybar provided that only those who had been with him at al- Hudaybiyah take part.
在前往侯代比亚之前,有消息传来,说海拜尔的犹太人正在暗中与古莱什人勾结,企图突袭麦地那,以消灭穆斯林。得知此事后,安拉的使者ﷺ选择与古莱什人订立和约,以便与他们达成停战,从而集中精力处理海拜尔的事务。在他ﷺ签订了和约、使海拜尔的犹太人与古莱什人隔绝之后,他ﷺ便转而对付海拜尔的犹太人,并在从侯代比亚返回后仅数日,就命令穆斯林整顿军队。
Before marching to al-Hudaybiyah, news was received that the Jews of Khaybar were secretly conspiring with the Quraysh to raid Madinah in an effort to exterminate the Muslims. Being aware of this, Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) opted for a peace plan with the Quraysh in order to secure a truce with them so that he could concentrate his efforts towards taking care of Khaybar. As soon as he (pbuh) had concluded his peace treaty, which isolated the Jews of Khaybar from the Quraysh, he turned to Jews of Khaybar and ordered the Muslims to prepare the army just days after his return from al-Hudaybiyah.
先知的使者(愿主赐福他并使他平安)率领一千六百名穆斯林出征,其中有一百名骑兵,众人都确信安拉必定相助。他们经过三天行军抵达海拜尔,出其不意地袭击了海拜尔人。穆斯林们在其堡垒外围过夜。第二天早上,海拜尔的农夫们带着铁锹和篮子出来干活,看到穆斯林的军队后,他们转身逃跑,边跑边喊:"穆罕默德带着他的军队来了!"真主的使者ﷺ说:"安拉至大!海拜尔毁灭了!我们一旦来到一个民族的领地,对于那些已被警告过的人来说,那将是糟糕的清晨。"
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) marched at the head of 1,600 Muslims accompanied by 100 riders and all were assured of Allah’s support. They reached Khaybar after a march of three days and took the people of Khaybar by surprise. Although the Muslims spent the night just outside their forts. In the morning, the peasants of Khaybar came out with their spades and baskets and when they saw the army of the Muslims they turned and fled crying, “Muhammad with his force.” The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Allahu Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive at a people’s area it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.”.
犹太人预料到安拉的使者ﷺ会攻击他们,因为他们听说侯代比亚和约之后,认为盟友古莱氏人背弃了他们,感到十分失望。面对这一新的危险局势,他们中有人提议与瓦迪·古拉和泰马的犹太人结盟,以便突袭麦地那。这样他们就无需依赖阿拉伯部落的资助,尤其是在古莱氏人已经与安拉的使者ﷺ签订了和约之后。另一些人则确实动过念头,想与安拉的使者ﷺ缔结盟约,希望借此消除穆斯林对他们的憎恨。自从他们感觉到危险临近以来,他们便不断地相互提醒此事。他们知道安拉的使者ﷺ已经得知他们与古莱氏人的阴谋,并且即将对他们发动袭击,但他们在实施计划之前就遭到了突袭,只得转而请求加图方部落相助。他们试图加固阵地、抵抗进攻,但穆斯林军队行动迅猛,他们的防线很快便崩溃了。
The Jews were expecting Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) to attack them, for when they heard about the treaty of Hudaybiyah they considered it to be a let down by their allies, the Quraysh. In response to the new dangerous situation some of them suggested forming an alliance with the Jews of Wadi al-Qura and Tayma’ in order to raid Madinah. They would then be without the need to rely on the pockets of Arab tribes, especially now that the Quraysh had signed a treaty with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). Others actually flirted with the idea of entering into a pact with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) in the hope that this would efface the Muslims’ hatred towards them. They used to remind each other of this ever since they felt the danger nearing. They were aware that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) had learned of their conspiracy with the Quraysh and that he (pbuh) was about to raid them, but they were caught by surprise before they could enact their plans and instead had to call on Ghatafan to help them. They attempted to fortify their positions and resist the attack, but the Muslim army was swift and their defensive lines crumbled.
最终,他们陷入绝望,请求与安拉的使者ﷺ和解,条件是他饶他们性命。安拉的使者ﷺ同意了,并允许他们留在自己的家园中。由于按照征服的法则,他们的土地和葡萄园已归他所有,他允许他们在那里劳作和生活,条件是每年将一半的庄稼和果实交给他。他们同意了ﷺ所提出的条件。随后,安拉的使者ﷺ返回麦地那,并在那里停留,直到他动身前往格达之副课(Qada')的副功(‘Umrah)。
Eventually, they became desperate and sought peace with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) provided he spared their lives. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) agreed and he allowed them to remain in their homes. Since their land and their vineyards became his under the law of conquest, he allowed them to work and live there provided they gave him half of their crops and fruits annually. They agreed to his (pbuh) terms. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) then returned to Madinah and stayed there until he left for the ‘Umrah of Qada’.
通过废除海拜尔的政治权力,并使其臣服于穆斯林的权威,安拉的使者ﷺ消除了通往沙姆的北方危险道路,正如他在侯代比亚和约之后在南方所做的那样。这一行动为伊斯兰的讯息在阿拉伯半岛境内及境外的传播铺平了道路。
By his abolition of Khaybar’s political authority and by making them submit to the authority of the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) neutralized the perilous northern path to al-Sham, as he had done likewise in the south after the Hudaybiyah treaty. This action paved the way for the Message of Islam to be spread within the Arabian Peninsula as well as abroad.
