Yusuf ibn Hammad al-Ma'ni narrated to me, 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, from Sa'id, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, from Abu Talhah.
And Muhammad ibn Hatim narrated it to me, Rawh ibn 'Ubadah narrated to us, Sa'id ibn Abi 'Arubah narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: Anas ibn Malik mentioned to us, from Abu Talhah, who said:
When it was the Day of Badr and the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prevailed over them, he ordered for a number of twenty-some men—and in the narration of Rawh: twenty-four men from the chiefs of Quraysh—to be thrown into a well among the wells of Badr, and he narrated the hadith with the meaning of the hadith of Thabit from Anas.
