باب العدد الذي لا يخرج المرء بالفرار منهم
Number not to flee from in battle
Hadith 1049
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : " كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لا يَفِرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ ، وَأَنْ لا يَفِرَّ عِشْرُونَ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ فَخُفِّفَ عَنْهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : الآنَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْكُمْ سورة الأنفال آية 66 ، وَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لا يَفِرَّ مِائَةٌ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ ، وَلا عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: It was obligatory upon them that one man should not flee from (the battle against) ten men, and twenty men should not flee from (the battle against) two hundred men. Then, leniency was granted to them and it was said: ﴿الْآنَ خَفَّفَ اللهُ عَنْكُمْ﴾ (Al-Anfal: 66) (Now Allah has lightened (the burden) for you), and it was made obligatory upon them that one hundred men should not flee from two hundred, and ten men should not flee from twenty men.
