The Remainder of the Hadith of ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)
بقية حديث عمرو بن العاص (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 551:13
Hassan narrated to us, he said: Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, he said: Yazid ibn Abi Habib narrated to us, he said: Suwayd ibn Qays informed me, from Qays ibn Shafi', that 'Amr ibn al-'As said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that what has preceded of my sins be forgiven for me." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Islam wipes away what was before it, and indeed, the Hijrah (migration) wipes away what was before it." 'Amr said: By Allah, I was the most bashful of people before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I never filled my eyes with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), nor did I speak back to him with what I wanted, until he joined Allah (the Mighty and Majestic) out of bashfulness before him.
حدثنا حسن، قال: حدثنا ابن لهيعة، قال: حدثنا يزيد بن أبي حبيب، قال: أخبرني سويد بن قيس، عن قيس بن شفي ، أن عمرو بن العاص، قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، أبايعك على أن تغفر لي ما تقدم من ذنبي؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن الإسلام يجب ما كان قبله، وإن الهجرة تجب ما كان قبلها " ، قال عمرو: فوالله إن كنت لأشد الناس حياء من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فما ملأت عيني من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا راجعته بما أريد حتى لحق بالله عز وجل حياء منه
