Burning of Suwaylim's house

Ibn Hisham transmits from "the trusted authority" that word reached the Prophet that men of the "hypocrites" were gathering in the house of Suwaylim the Jew near Jasum, discouraging the people from him on the Tabuk campaign; he sent Talha ibn Ubaydullah with a party and ordered him to burn the house down on them. Talha did so; al-Dahhak ibn Khalifa broke out through the back of the house and broke his leg, while his companions escaped. ¹

Ibn Hisham relates from "the trusted authority", from one who told him, from Muhammad ibn Talha ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Abdullah ibn Haritha, from his father, from his grandfather, that word reached the Prophet that men of the hypocrites were gathering in the house of Suwaylim the Jew, which stood near Jasum. ¹

The report says they were discouraging the people from the Prophet on the Tabuk campaign; so the Prophet sent Talha ibn Ubaydullah with a party of his Companions and ordered him to burn Suwaylim's house down on them, and Talha did so. ¹

Al-Dahhak ibn Khalifa broke out through the back of the house and broke his leg, and his companions broke out and escaped; al-Dahhak spoke verses on it. ¹

• The whole report is one of Ibn Hisham's additions, with a chain containing "the trusted authority told me, from one who told him" without naming the first; it is not from Ibn Ishaq's account (p. 160).
• Describing the gathering as "hypocrites" and their act as discouragement is the narrator's wording; it is attributed to him and the museum reaches no verdict.
