عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ بَدْرٍ عَلَيْكَ الْعِيرَ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ فَنَادَاهُ الْعَبَّاسُ وَهُوَ أَسِيرٌ فِي وَثَاقِهِ لَا يَصْلُحُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَ قَالَ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَعَدَكَ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ وَقَدْ أَعْطَاكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Badr, someone said to him: "Will you pursue the caravan of Abu Sufyan? Now no one will be able to resist you." But Abbas, who was a prisoner at that time and was tied up, said: "Now it is not befitting for you to pursue Abu Sufyan." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Why is that?" He replied: "Allah Almighty had promised you one of the two groups, and according to His promise, He has granted you dominance over one group."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, it is correct that Allah, exalted is He, had promised you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) one of the two groups, as is stated in the word of Allah, the Exalted:
{وَإِذْ یَعِدُکُمُ اللّٰہُ إِحْدَی الطَّائِفَتِیْنِ أَنَّہَا لَکُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَیْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْکَۃِ تَکُونُ لَکُمْ وَیُرِیدُ اللّٰہُ أَن یُحِقَّ الحَقَّ بِکَلِمَاتِہِ وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْکَافِرِینَ۔} … And [remember] when Allah promised you one of the two groups that it would be yours, and you wished that the one without thorns would be yours, but Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to cut off the root of the disbelievers. (Surah al-Anfal: 7)
By one group is meant the trade caravan, that it would fall to the Muslims without fighting, and there would be abundant wealth and goods in it.
By the other group is meant the army of Quraysh, that the Companions would confront them, in which the Muslims would prevail and they would obtain war booty (ghanimah).
{وَإِذْ یَعِدُکُمُ اللّٰہُ إِحْدَی الطَّائِفَتِیْنِ أَنَّہَا لَکُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَیْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْکَۃِ تَکُونُ لَکُمْ وَیُرِیدُ اللّٰہُ أَن یُحِقَّ الحَقَّ بِکَلِمَاتِہِ وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْکَافِرِینَ۔} … And [remember] when Allah promised you one of the two groups that it would be yours, and you wished that the one without thorns would be yours, but Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to cut off the root of the disbelievers. (Surah al-Anfal: 7)
By one group is meant the trade caravan, that it would fall to the Muslims without fighting, and there would be abundant wealth and goods in it.
By the other group is meant the army of Quraysh, that the Companions would confront them, in which the Muslims would prevail and they would obtain war booty (ghanimah).
