عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَسَلَّحْتُ رَجُلًا سَيْفًا قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا لَامَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَعَجَزْتُمْ إِذْ بَعَثْتُ رَجُلًا فَلَمْ يَمْضِ لِأَمْرِي أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا مَكَانَهُ مَنْ يَمْضِي لِأَمْرِي
Bashar bin Asim Laithi narrates: It is reported from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who was from the tribe of Bashar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army. I gave a man a sword. When he returned, he said: I have never seen the kind of reproach from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as I saw this time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I send a man and he does not carry out my command, are you incapable of appointing in his place a man who will carry out my command?
