Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39422 — The great Battle of Badr, how it came
٣٩٤٢٢ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن محمد بن عمرو الليثي عن (١) جده قال: (خرج) (٢) رسول اللَّه ﷺ إلى بدر حتى إذا كان بالروحاء (خطب الناس) (٣) ⦗٤٢٩⦘ فقال: "كيف ترون؟ " [قال أبو بكر: يا رسول اللَّه (بلغنا) (٤) أنهم بكذا وكذا، قال: ثم خطب الناس فقال: "كيف ترون؟ "] (٥) فقال عمر مثل قول أبي بكر ثم خطب فقال: "ما ترون؟ " فقال سعد بن معاذ: إيانا تريد، فوالذي أكرمك (٦) وأنزل عليك الكتاب ما سلكتُها قط ولا لي بها علم، (ولئن) (٧) سرت حتى تأتي برك الغماد من ذي يمن لنسيرنّ معك، ولا نكون (كالذين) (٨) قالوا لموسى من بني إسرائيل: ﴿(اذْهَبْ) أنت وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ﴾ [المائدة: ٢٤]، ولكن اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا معكما متبعون، ولعلك أن تكون خرجت لأمر وأحدث اللَّه (٩) غيره (فانظر) (١٠) (١١) الذي أحدث اللَّه إليك فامض له، (فحل) (١٢) (حبال) (١٣) من شئت، واقطع حبال من (شئت) (١٤)، وسالم من شئت، وعاد من شئت، وخذ من أموالنا ما شئت، فنزل القرآن على (قول) (١٥) سعد: ﴿كَمَا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ (وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ) (١٦) ⦗٤٣٠⦘ (لَكَارِهُونَ) (١٧)﴾ إلى قوله: ﴿(وَيَقْطَعَ) (١٨) دَابِرَ الْكَافِرِينَ﴾ [الأنفال: ٥ و ٧]، وإنما خرج رسول اللَّه ﷺ يريد غنيمة (ما) (١٩) مع أبي سفيان فأحدث اللَّه (لنبيه) (٢٠) القتال (٢١).
Muhammad bin Amr narrates through his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Badr until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the place called al-Rawha, he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people and asked: "What is your opinion?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! News has reached us that they are in such a place and of such a number." The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people again and asked: "What is your opinion?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (also) replied like Sayyiduna Abu Bakr. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed them again and asked: "What is your opinion?" Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Do you mean us? By the One who has honoured you and sent down the Book to you, I have never travelled this route, nor do I have any knowledge of it. But if you were to keep going until you reached Birk al-Ghimad in Dhu Yaman, we would surely keep going with you. We will not be like those from among the Children of Israel who said to Musa: (Go, you and your Lord, and fight; we shall stay sitting here) [Al-Ma'idah: 24]. Rather (we say): You and your Lord go and fight, and we will be with you as followers. It may be that you have set out for one matter and that Allah Almighty brings about another matter for you. So look to the matter that Allah Almighty brings about for you and carry it through. Establish ties with whomever you wish and cut ties with whomever you wish; make peace with whomever you wish and be hostile to whomever you wish; and take from our wealth whatever you please." Upon the words of Sayyiduna Sa'd this Qur'anic verse was revealed: (Just as your Lord brought you out of your home with the truth, while a party of the believers were averse) up to: (and cut off the root of the disbelievers) [Al-Anfal: 5 and 7]. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had intended to take as spoils the wealth that was with Abu Sufyan, but Allah Almighty brought about the event of fighting for His Prophet.
