حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ خَرَجَ يَسْتَسْقِي بِالنَّاسِ ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اسْتَسْقَى ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ، وَقَالَ : لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ غَيْرُ رَجُلٍ أَوْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ رَجُلٌ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : لَهُ كَمْ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، قَالَ : تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : كَمْ غَزَوْتَ أَنْتَ مَعَهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : فَمَا أَوَّلُ غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : ذَاتُ الْعُسَيْرِ ، أَوْ الْعُشَيْرِ " .
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq that 'Abdullah bin Yazid went (out of the city) with people for offering "Istisqa" ' prayer (for rainfall). He offered two rak'ahs. Then he prayed for rain. That day I met Zaid bin Arqam. There was only one man between me and him (at that time). I asked him: How many military expeditions did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) undertake? He said: Nineteen expeditions. I asked him: On how many expeditions did you accompany him? He said: On seventeen expeditions. I asked: Which was the first expedition he led? He answered: Dhat-ul-Usair or 'Ushair.
