وَعَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَنَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ : " إِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ عِيرِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَنَّهَا مُقْبِلَةٌ ، فَهَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ نَخْرُجَ قَبْلَ هَذَا الْعِيرِ ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُغْنِمْنَاهَا ؟ " . قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ . فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا سِرْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ ، قَالَ لَنَا : " مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي الْقَوْمِ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ أُخْبِرُوا بِمُخْرَجِكُمْ ؟ " . فَقُلْنَا : لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا لَنَا طَاقَةٌ بِقِتَالِ الْعَدُوِّ ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْنَا الْعِيرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي الْقَوْمِ ؟ " . فَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو : إِذًا لَا نَقُولُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى لِمُوسَى : فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ قَالَ : فَتَمَنَّيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّا قُلْنَا كَمَا قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا مَالٌ عَظِيمٌ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : كَمَا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَكَارِهُونَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ فِي الْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّمَا يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ وَقَالَ : وَإِذْ يَعِدُكُمُ اللَّهُ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ ، وَالشَّوْكَةُ : الْقَوْمُ . وَغَيْرُ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ : الْعِيرُ . فَلَمَّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ : إِمَّا الْقَوْمَ ، وَإِمَّا الْعِيرَ طَابَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَعَثَ يَنْظُرُ مَا قَبْلَ الْقَوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : رَأَيْتُ سَوَادًا وَلَا أَدْرِي . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " هُمُ هُمُ ، هَلُمُّوا أَنْ نَتَعَادَ " . فَإِذَا نَحْنُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا ، فَأَخْبَرْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِعِدَّتِنَا فَسَّرَهُ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : " عِدَّةُ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ " . ثُمَّ إِنَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَصَفَفْنَا ، فَبَدَرَتْ مِنَّا بَادِرَةٌ أَمَامَ الصَّفِّ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : " مَعِي مَعِي " .
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ وَعْدَكَ " . فَقَالَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُشِيرَ عَلَيْكَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ نُشِيرَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ نَنْشُدَهُ وَعْدَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ، لَأَنْشُدَنَّ اللَّهَ وَعْدَهُ ; فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ " . فَأَخَذَ قَبْضَةً مِنَ التُّرَابِ فَرَمَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ ; فَانْهَزَمُوا ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمَى فَقَتَلْنَا وَأَسَرْنَا .
فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَرَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكَ أَسْرَى ، فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ دَاعُونَ مُؤَلِّفُونَ . فَقُلْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ : إِنَّمَا يَحْمِلُ عُمَرُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ حَسَدٌ لَنَا . فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ ، فَقَالَ : " ادْعُوَا لِي عُمَرَ " . فَدُعِيَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيَّ : مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we were in Madinah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been told about the caravan of Abu Sufyan that it is approaching. Would you be interested in our going out towards this caravan? Perhaps Allah Almighty will grant us that caravan as spoils." We submitted: "Very well." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, and we set out with him. We kept travelling for one or two days. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I think those people have received news of your setting out." We submitted: "No, by Allah! We do not have the strength to fight the enemy; we set out only for the caravan." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is your opinion?" We submitted something similar. Then Sayyiduna al-Miqdad bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, in such a situation we will not say to you what the people of Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) (which the Qur'an mentions in these words): 'So go, you and your Lord, and fight; we are sitting right here.'" He said: "O company of the Ansar, it is our wish that we too had spoken the way al-Miqdad spoke; that would have been dearer to us than receiving a great deal of wealth." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Just as your Lord brought you out of your house with the truth, while a party of the believers disliked it, arguing with you about the truth after it had become clear, as though they were being driven towards death while they looked on." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Indeed, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will soon cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, so strike above their necks and strike every joint of theirs." Allah Almighty also said: "And when Allah promised you one of the two groups, that it would be yours, and you wished that the one without "shawkah" (armed strength) would be yours." Here "shawkah" means the people (that is, the army of the disbelievers of Makkah), and "the one without shawkah" means (their trade) caravan. When Allah Almighty promised one of the two, either the people (that is, the disbelievers of Quraysh) or the caravan, our hearts were set at ease. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man to assess the situation of the people. He reported: "I have seen people, but I could not make out (who they are)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is they! It is they! Come forward so that we may count ourselves." The narrator says: We were three hundred and thirteen men. We informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of our number, and he was pleased by this and said: "This is the number of the companions of Talut." Then we gathered facing the enemy and formed rows. One of us stepped out ahead of the row. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at them and said: "Stay with me! Stay with me!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, I implore You by Your promise." Sayyiduna Ibn Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to give you a piece of advice, although the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is too excellent for anyone to advise him, and Allah Almighty is too great for us to implore Him by His promise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Rawahah, I will certainly implore Allah Almighty by His promise, for Allah Almighty does not break His promise." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a handful of dust and threw it towards the enemy, and those people were routed. So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And you did not throw when you threw, but Allah threw." So we both killed (enemy fighters) and took prisoners. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: "O Messenger of Allah, I think you should not keep prisoners, for we are people who call (to Islam) and bring hearts together." We, that is the Ansar, said: "What Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) has said, he has said out of envy of us." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slept, and when he woke up, he said: "Call Umar to me!" He was called, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has revealed this verse to me: 'It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have (disbelievers) as prisoners (and take ransom) until he has shed blood in the land. You desire the goods of this world, while Allah Almighty intends (for you) the Hereafter (and its good), and Allah Almighty is Mighty (and) Wise.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
