حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُلْقِيَ فِي قَلْبِي الْإِسْلَامُ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَا أَخِيسُ بِالْعَهْدِ وَلَا أَحْبِسُ الْبُرُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ ارْجِعْ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي نَفْسِكَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِكَ الْآنَ فَارْجِعْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذَهَبْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَانَ قِبْطِيًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلَا يَصْلُحُ.

The Quraysh sent me to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, and when I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, Islam was cast into my heart, so I said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I shall never return to them. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم replied: I do not break a covenant or imprison messengers, but return, and if you feel the same as you do just now, come back. So I went away, and then came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and accepted Islam. The narrator Bukair said: He informed me that Abu Rafi was a Copt. Abu Dawud said: This was valid in those days, but today it is not valid.
