Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20596 — What is mentioned on the virtue
٢٠٥٩٦ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون نا جرير بن حازم عن الزبير بن (الخريت) (١) عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس قال: كان فرض على المسلمين أن يقاتل الرجل منهم العشرة من المشركين، قوله: ﴿إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ مِائَةٌ يَغْلِبُوا أَلْفًا﴾، فشق ذلك عليهم، فأنزل اللَّه التخفيف فجعل على (الرجل) (٢) يقاتل الرجلين قوله تعالى: ﴿إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ﴾ [الأنفال: ٦٥]، فخفف (عنهم ذلك) (٣) ذلك ونقصوا من النصر بقدر ذلك (٤).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: At first it was made obligatory on the Muslims that one man should fight ten polytheists. Allah Almighty says: "If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred, they will overcome a thousand." This was hard on the Muslims, so Allah Almighty lightened it, so that one man should fight two polytheists. Allah Almighty says: "If there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred." Thus it was lightened for them, and help was reduced in the same measure.
