Majma al-Zawaid 9956 — The Battle of Badr

وَعَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ : لَمَّا رَأَى إِبْلِيسُ مَا تَفْعَلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ أَشْفَقَ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ الْقَتْلُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَتَشَبَّثَ بِهِ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، فَوَكَزَ فِي صَدْرِ الْحَارِثِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ هَارِبًا حَتَّى أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَظْرَتَكَ إِيَّايَ ، وَخَافَ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ الْقَتْلُ إِلَيْهِ .
فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّاسِ ، لَا يَهْزِمَنَّكُمْ خِذْلَانُ سُرَاقَةَ إِيَّاكُمْ ; فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى مِيعَادٍ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، لَا يَهُولَنَّكُمْ قَتْلُ عُتْبَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ ابْنَيْ رَبِيعَةَ ; فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ عَجَّلُوا ، فَوَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَا نَرْجِعُ حَتَّى نُقْرِنَهُمْ بِالْحِبَالِ .
فَلَا أَلْقَيَنَّ رَجُلًا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ خُذُوهُمْ أَخْذًا حَتَّى تُعَرِّفُوهُمْ سُوءَ صَنِيعِهِمْ مِنْ مُفَارَقَتِهِمْ إِيَّاكُمْ ، وَرَغْبَتِهِمْ عَنِ اللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى . ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ مُتَمَثِّلًا :
مَا تَنْقِمُ الْحَرْبُ الشَّمُوسُ مِنِّي بَازِلٌ عَامَيْنِ حَدِيثٌ سِنِّي لِمِثْلِ هَذَا وَلَدَتْنِي أُمِّي .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Rifa'ah bin Rafi' al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Iblis saw what the angels were doing to the polytheists, he feared that killing would reach him. Al-Harith bin Hisham grabbed hold of him, thinking that he was Suraqah bin Malik. He punched al-Harith in the chest, threw him aside, and then fled in fear until he fell into the sea. Then he raised both his hands and said: "O Allah, I ask You to grant me respite." He feared that he too would be killed. Then Abu Jahl came and said: "O people, do not let Suraqah's forsaking of you defeat you, for he had made a pact with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And do not let the killing of Utbah and Shaybah, the sons of Rabi'ah, terrify you, for they acted in haste. By al-Lat and al-Uzza, we will not return until we have bound them with ropes. I must not find any man who has killed any one of them; rather, seize them, so that you make them recognise their evil conduct in separating from you and turning away from al-Lat and al-Uzza." Then Abu Jahl recited these verses by way of example: "What does the relentless war resent in me? That I am a young man, and my age is young. It was for a situation like this that my mother gave birth to me."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Abd al-Aziz bin Imran, who is da'if (weak).
