Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4190 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَا يَسُرُّهُمْ ، أَوْ مَا يَسُرُّنِي ، أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا ، وَإِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ لَتَذْرِفَانِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (describing the events of the Battle of Mu'tah) said: "First Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) held the banner of Islam and he was martyred; then Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) took it up and he too was martyred; then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) raised it and he too was martyred; then Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) took it in his hand without any prior appointment as commander, and Allah Almighty granted victory through him. And (after reaching this great rank of martyrdom) it would not please them, nor me (the narrator is unsure whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: or nor would I like it), that they were with us now." And while mentioning this, tears were flowing from both the blessed eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
