Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Duḥaym said, “His descendants live in al-Biqāʿ.”

Ibn Mākūlā recorded al-Kharj (1) among Dihyah’s forefathers; it is a sizeable branch of the tribe.

Al-Haytham ibn ʿAdī—on the authority of al-Kalbī, from Muḥammad ibn Usāmah ibn Zayd, from his father, from Dihyah—reported:
“I returned from Syria and presented the Prophet ﷺ with dried fruit—pistachios, almonds, and cakes …” (2)
Its isnād is weak.

Another chain—through Jābir al-Juʿfī, from al-Shaʿbī, from Dihyah al-Kalbī—relates:
“I gifted the Messenger of Allah a wool cloak and a pair of leather socks, and he wore them until they were worn through.” (3)
Jābir is weak.

Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shaddād, from Dihyah, narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with a letter to Caesar. I stood at the gate and declared, ‘I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah.’ They were alarmed, so the usher went in to inform him, after which I was admitted and gave him the letter: ‘From Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Caesar, ruler of the Byzantines.’

“His nephew—ruddy, blue-eyed—snorted and said, ‘Why did he not write and begin with you? Do not read his letter today.’

“Caesar told them, ‘Leave.’ Then he summoned the bishop, whose opinion they normally followed. When the letter had been read to him …”

(1) Al-Ikmal, 3:142–143. The passage there states: “It was called al-Kharj because of the thickness of its flesh.” (2) Tahdhib Ibn Asakir, 5:222. (3) Tahdhib Ibn Asakir, 5:222; also cited in al-Tabarani, al-Muʿjam, no. 4200. The chain includes Anbasa ibn Saʿid, the transmitter from Jabir al-Juʿfi, who is unknown; moreover, Jabir himself is deemed weak.
وَقَالَ دُحَيْمٌ: ذُرِّيَّتُهُ بِالبِقَاعِ. وَقَيَّدَ ابْنُ مَاكُوْلاَ فِي أَجْدَادِهِ (الخَرْجَ (١)) ، وَهُوَ العَظِيْمُ البَطْنِ. الهَيْثَمُ بنُ عَدِيٍّ: عَنِ الكَلْبِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ أُسَامَةَ بنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ دِحْيَةَ: قَدِمْتُ مِنَ الشَّامِ، فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاكِهَةً يَابِسَةً مِنْ فُسْتُقٍ، وَلَوْزٍ، وَكَعْكٍ ... ، الحَدِيْثَ (٢) . إِسْنَادُهُ وَاهٍ. وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ الجُعْفِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ دِحْيَةَ الكَلْبِيِّ، قَالَ: أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ جُبَّةَ صُوْفٍ، وَخُفَّيْنِ، فَلَبِسَهُمَا حَتَّى تَخَرَّقَا (٣) . جَابِرٌ: وَاهٍ. وَعَنْ سَلَمَةَ بنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ دِحْيَةَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعِي بِكِتَابٍ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ، فَقُمْتُ بِالبَابِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا رَسُوْلُ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ. فَفَزِعُوا لِذَلِكَ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الآذِنُ، فَأُدْخِلْتُ، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ الكِتَابَ: (مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ، إِلَى قَيْصَرَ صَاحِبِ الرُّوْمِ) . فَإِذَا ابْنُ أَخٍ لَهُ، أَحْمَرُ، أَزْرَقُ، قَدْ نَخَرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لِمَ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ وَيَبْدَأْ بِكَ، لاَ تَقْرَأْ كِتَابَهُ اليَوْمَ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: اخْرُجُوا. فَدَعَا الأُسْقُفَ، وَكَانُوا يَصْدُرُوْنَ عَنْ رَأْيِهِ، فَلَمَّا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ الكِتَابُ،
