Ata from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)
Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 11348 — Allah Almighty had made it obligatory
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْمَرِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «افْتَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ الْعَشَرَةَ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَوَضَعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ، فَرُدَّ إِلَى أَنْ يُقَاتِلُوا الْعَدُوَّ إِذَا كَانُوا ضِعْفَيْنِ»
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Allah Almighty had made it obligatory upon the Muslims that one man should face ten of the enemy. This was hard on them, so Allah lifted this ruling from them and made it that they should fight the enemy when the enemy is double their number.
