Hadith 10726

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ تَنَفَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَيْفَهُ ذَا الْفَقَارِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَهُوَ الَّذِي رَأَى فِيهِ الرُّؤْيَا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي سَيْفِي ذِي الْفَقَارِ فَلًّا فَأَوَّلْتُهُ فَلًّا يَكُونُ فِيكُمْ وَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي مُرْدِفٌ كَبْشًا فَأَوَّلْتُهُ كَبْشَ الْكَتِيبَةِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي فِي دِرْعٍ حَصِينَةٍ فَأَوَّلْتُهَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَرَأَيْتُ بَقَرًا تُذْبَحُ فَبَقَرٌ وَاللَّهِ خَيْرٌ فَبَقَرٌ وَاللَّهِ خَيْرٌ فَكَانَ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) acquired his sword Dhu’l-Fiqar as spoils on the day of the Battle of Badr. This is the same sword about which you saw a dream on the day of Uhud, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw a notch in my sword Dhu’l-Fiqar; its interpretation is that you will face defeat. I saw that I had mounted a ram behind me; I interpreted this as the brave one of the army will be martyred. I saw that I was wearing a secure coat of mail; I interpreted this as Madinah will remain protected. I saw that a cow was being slaughtered; by Allah, this is better. Whatever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, that is exactly what happened.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The notch in the sword referred to the initial defeat suffered by the Muslims at Uhud, after which they regained their composure. The vision of a ram being slaughtered indicated the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Talhah ibn Abi Talhah radi Allahu anhu, who was carrying the banner that day. The vision of a cow being slaughtered signified the martyrdom of seventy individuals from among the noble Companions (Sahabah kiram). Madinah proved to be the best refuge; after defeat and martyrdom, the Muslims were ultimately honored with success. Among your household, the martyrdom of the Chief of Martyrs, Sayyiduna Hamzah radi Allahu anhu, was shown in the form of the ram being slaughtered.
