Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9954

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بَدْرًا ، وَأَقْبَلَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، وَهُوَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ خَيْرٌ فَهُوَ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ ، إِنْ يُطِيعُوهُ يَرْشُدُوا " .
وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَا قَوْمِ ، أَطِيعُونِي فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ ; فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ لَنْ يَزَالَ ذَلِكَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ يَنْظُرُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ إِلَى قَاتِلِ أَخِيهِ وَقَاتِلِ أَبِيهِ ، فَاجْعَلُوا جَنْبَهَا بِرَأْسِي وَارْجِعُوا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ : انْتَفَخَ وَاللَّهِ سَحْرُهُ حِينَ رَأَى مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ ، إِنَّمَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ كَأَكْلَةِ جَزُورٍ لَوْ قَدِ الْتَقَيْنَا .
فَقَالَ عُتْبَةَ : سَتَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْجَبَانُ الْمُفْسِدُ لِقَوْمِهِ ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى قَوْمًا يَضْرِبُونَكُمْ ضَرْبًا أَمَا تَرَوْنَ كَأَنَّ رُءُوسَهُمُ الْأَفَاعِي ، وَكَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمُ السُّيُوفُ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا أَخَاهُ وَابْنَهُ فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَهُمَا ، وَدَعَا بِالْمُبَارَزَةِ . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Muslims reached Badr and the polytheists had also arrived, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at Utbah bin Rabi'ah, who was riding a red camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If good can be found with anyone among these people, it can be found with this man on the red camel. If they obey him, they will be rightly guided." Utbah was saying: "O my people, heed me concerning these people. If you do this (fight them), resentment will always remain in your hearts towards one another; each one of you will have to look at the killer of his brother or the killer of his father. So lay this matter on my head and go back!" Abu Jahl said: "By Allah, ever since he saw Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions, his lungs have swollen with fright. Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions are no more than a party that could be fed by one slaughtered camel, if we meet them." Utbah said: "You will soon learn who is the coward and the one who ruins his people. By Allah, I have seen these people, and they will strike you hard. Do you not see that their heads are like vipers (snakes) and their faces like swords?" Then he called his brother and his son, came out walking between the two of them, and called for single combat.
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
