وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ ، قَالَ : " مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي حُسَيْلٌ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَنَا كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ ، قَالُوا : إِنَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ مُحَمَّدًا ، فَقُلْنَا : مَا نُرِيدُهُ مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا عَهْدَ اللَّهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ ، لَنَنْصَرِفَنَّ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَلَا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ : انْصَرِفَا نَفِي لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
It has been reported on the authority of Hudbaifa bin al-Yaman who said: Nothing prevented me from being present at the Battle of Badr except this incident. I came out with my father Husail (to participate in the Battle), but we were caught by the disbelievers of Quraish. They said: (Do) you intend to go to Muhammad? We said: We do not intend to go to him, but we wish to go (back) to Madinah. So they took from us a covenant in the name of God that we would turn back to Madinah and would not fight on the side of Muhammad (ﷺ) . So, we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and related the incident to him. He said: Both, of you proceed (to Madinah); we will fulfil the covenant made with them and seek God's help against them.
