عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُسَيْسَةَ عَيْنًا يَنْظُرُ مَا فَعَلَتْ عِيرُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَجَاءَ وَمَا فِي الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْتَثْنَى بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ فَحَدَّثَهُ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا طَلِبَةً فَمَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَلْيَرْكَبْ مَعَنَا فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَهُ فِي ظَهْرٍ لَهُمْ فِي عُلُوِّ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ ظَهْرُهُ حَاضِرًا فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى سَبَقُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent Sayyiduna Busaysah as a spy to see what had become of Abu Sufyan’s caravan. When he returned, there was no one in the house except me and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). Thabit, the narrator, says: I do not know whether the narrator made an exception regarding some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) or not. In any case, Sayyiduna Busaysah informed (the Prophet) of the situation. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came out and said: We have to search for something; whoever has a mount should come with us. Some people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) for permission, saying their mounts were in the upper part of Madinah (and since they wanted to go with the Prophet, they requested to be waited for). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: No, only those who have mounts present should come. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions set out and reached Badr before the polytheists.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This was Abu Sufyan’s trade caravan. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) planned an attack on this caravan, and the Muslims set out from Madinah with this intention. Abu Sufyan also received information of this matter, so he both changed his route and sent word to Makkah. As a result, Abu Jahl set out towards Badr with an army to protect their caravan. Then, the Battle of Badr took place between the two parties.
