Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9952

وَعَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : " قُومُوا فَقَاتِلُوا " . فَقَالُوا : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى : اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ ، وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَاتَلَا وَإِنَّا مَعَكُمْ نُقَاتِلُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions: "Get up and fight!" The people submitted: "Very well, O Messenger of Allah! We will not say what the Children of Israel 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.' Rather, (we will say:) Go, you and your Lord, O Sayyiduna Muhammad, and fight; we will take part in the fighting along with you."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
