Hadith of al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 18499 — Hadith of al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِالْعَبَّاسِ قَدْ أَسَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَيْسَ هَذَا أَسَرَنِي ، أَسَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَنْزِعُ مِنْ هَيْئَتِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلرَّجُلِ : " لَقَدْ آزَرَكَ اللَّهُ بِمَلَكٍ كَرِيمٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari man brought Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) as a prisoner (on the occasion of the Battle of Badr). Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! This person did not capture me; rather, I was captured by another man, of whose appearance I remember such and such things." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to that person, "Allah helped you through a noble angel."
