Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39436 — The great Battle of Badr, how it came
٣٩٤٣٦ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن محمد بن إسحاق عن الزهري عن عبد اللَّه بن ثعلبة بن (صُعَيْر) (١) (العذري) (٢) أن أبا جهل قال يوم بدر: اللهم أقطعنا للرحم وآتانا بما لا (يعرف) (٣) فأحنه الغداة، قال: فكان ذلك استفتاحا منه فنزلت ⦗٤٣٤⦘ هذه الآية: ﴿إِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ وَإِنْ تَنْتَهُوا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ﴾ الآية [الأنفال: ١٩] (٤).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Tha'labah al-Udhri (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Jahl said on the day of Badr: "O Allah! Whichever man among us most severs the ties of kinship and most commits what is not recognised as good, destroy him." The narrator said: This was a seeking of victory on the part of Abu Jahl. Upon this the following verse was revealed: (If you sought victory, then victory has come to you; and if you desist, it is better for you) [Al-Anfal: 19].
