حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ , عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ , قَالَ : " خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ , فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا وَنَقِبَتْ قَدَمَايَ وَسَقَطَتْ أَظْفَارِي , وَكُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ , فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا كُنَّا نَعْصِبُ مِنَ الْخِرَقِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا , وَحَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِهَذَا , ثُمَّ كَرِهَ ذَاكَ , قَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ بِأَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ , كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ " .
Narrated Abu Burda: Abu Musa said, "We went out in the company of the Prophet for a Ghazwa and we were six persons having one camel which we rode in rotation. So, (due to excessive walking) our feet became thin and my feet became thin and my nail dropped, and we used to wrap our feet with the pieces of cloth, and for this reason, the Ghazwa was named Dhat-ur-Riqa as we wrapped our feet with rags." When Abu- Musa narrated this (Hadith), he felt regretful to do so and said, as if he disliked to have disclosed a good deed of his.

Hadith Commentary:
Since, in this battle, due to the hardship of traveling on foot, the Companions reached the point where they had to wrap rags around their feet,
for this reason it was named the Expedition of Dhat ar-Riqa‘.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The participation of Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari (radi Allahu anhu) in this expedition is mentioned, and he came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) after the Battle of Khaybar. This means that the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa‘ took place after Khaybar.
➋
Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari (radi Allahu anhu) did not consider it good to narrate this hadith because he had performed this deed under extreme hardship, and narrating it involved self-praise, whereas concealing a righteous deed is better than disclosing it, and this is the true beauty of a good deed and virtue. Allah the Exalted says:
“If you conceal the charities and give them to the poor, it is better for you.” ()

Hadith Commentary: Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
نَعْتَقِبُهُ:
We would ride it one after another,
because it was not possible for all to sit on it at the same time.
(2)
نَقِبَتْ:
Became wounded.
(3)
خِرَقَ:
Plural of khirqa,
rags,
pieces of cloth.
(4)
نُعَصِّبُ or یَعصِبُ:
We would bind (them).
Benefits and Issues:
The reason for the naming of the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa‘ is precisely as stated by the narrator himself,
because "riqa‘" is the plural of "riq‘a",
which means a piece or a patch.
According to some, the reason is that there was a multicolored mountain there,
or there was a tree by that name,
or the banners had patches on them.
