Hadith 12114

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ ، وَإِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ لَتَذْرِفَانِ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا " ، أَوْ قَالَ : " مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us during a sermon that Zaid took the flag but was martyred, then Ja'far took it but he too was martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawaha took it but he too was martyred, then Khalid bin Walid took the flag without any commandership and Allah granted victory to the Muslims at his hands, and I am not pleased that they had remained with us.
