Musnad Abi Ya'la 3916 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent seventy men
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا لِحَاجَةٍ يُقَالَ لَهُمُ : الْقُرَّاءُ ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ حَيَّانِ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ، رِعْلٌ ، وَذَكْوَانُ ، عِنْدَ بِئْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا : بِئْرُ مَعُونَةَ ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : وَاللهِ مَا إِيَّاكُمْ أَرَدْنَا ، إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُخْتَارُونَ فِي حَاجَةٍ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَتَلُوهُمْ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَيْهِمْ شَهْرًا فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ ، فَذَاكَ بَدْءُ الْقُنُوتِ ، وَمَا كُنَّا نَقْنُتُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent seventy men on a mission, who were called the Qurra' (reciters of the Qur'an). Then two tribes of Banu Sulaym, Ri'l and Dhakwan, blocked their way near a well called 'Bi'r Ma'unah'. They (the Companions) said: By Allah, we have no intention (of fighting) you; we have only set out on an errand for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But they (the disbelievers) martyred them. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against them for a month in the Fajr prayer, and that was the beginning of the Qunut (al-Nazilah); before that we did not used to recite the Qunut (in prayer)."
