Hadith 35932
٣٥٩٣٢ - حدثنا ابن أبي بكير قال: (ثنا) (١) شعبة عن أبي الفيض قال: سمعت سعيد بن (جابر) (٢) الرعيني عن أبيه - (أحسب) (٣) - أن أبا بكر شيع جيشًا فمشى ⦗٥٣٣⦘ معهم فقال: الحمد اللَّه الذي أغبرت أقدامنا في سبيل اللَّه، قال: فقال رجل: إنما شيعناهم، فقال: جهزناهم وشيعناهم ودعونا (لهم) (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) dispatched an army, then continued to walk with them to bid them farewell and said: All praise is due to Allah who made our feet dusty in His path. A person said: We have sent them off. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We have prepared them, sent them off, and prayed for them.
