عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ يَعْنِي وَجِيءَ بِالْأُسَارَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَا يَنْفَلِتَنَّ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِفِدَاءٍ أَوْ ضَرْبَةِ عُنُقٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ بَيْضَاءَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَذْكُرُ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُنِي فِي يَوْمٍ أَخْوَفَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيَّ حِجَارَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَتَّى قَالَ إِلَّا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ بَيْضَاءَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the prisoners were brought on the day of the Battle of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “None of them should escape except by paying ransom or by having their necks struck.” I (Abdullah) said: “O Messenger of Allah! Except Suhail bin Bayda, for I have heard him speaking about accepting Islam.” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. I saw myself that day fearing more than anything else that stones might begin to fall upon me from the sky. (While I was in this state,) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Except Suhail bin Bayda.”
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu understood that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had remained silent due to anger, and thus he became fearful. Then, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam agreed with his opinion, he became reassured.
