Hadith 18593

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، أَنَّ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ قَالَ : جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الرُّمَاةِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَكَانُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : وَوَضَعَهُمْ مَوْضِعًا ، وَقَالَ : " إِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا تَخْطَفُنَا الطَّيْرُ ، فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ ، وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا ظَهَرْنَا عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَأَوْطَأْنَاهُمْ ، فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ " . قَالَ : فَهَزَمُوهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ النِّسَاءَ يَشْتَدِدْنَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ ، وَقَدْ بَدَتْ أَسْوُقُهُنَّ وَخَلَاخِلُهُنَّ ، رَافِعَاتٍ ثِيَابَهُنَّ ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ : الْغَنِيمَةَ أَيْ قَوْمُ الْغَنِيمَةَ ، ظَهَرَ أَصْحَابُكُمْ فَمَا تَنْظُرُونَ ؟ فقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ : أَنَسِيتُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالُوا : إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لَنَأْتِيَنَّ النَّاسَ ، فَلَنُصِيبَنَّ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُمْ ، صُرِفَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ ، فَأَقْبَلُوا مُنْهَزِمِينَ ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَدْعُوهُمْ الرَّسُولُ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنَّا سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَصَابَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَةً سَبْعِينَ أَسِيرًا ، وَسَبْعِينَ قَتِيلًا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ : أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ مُحَمَّدٌ ؟ ثَلَاثًا ، فَنَهَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُجِيبُوهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ أَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ ، فَقَدْ قُتِلُوا وَقَدْ كُفِيتُمُوهُمْ ، فَمَا مَلَكَ عُمَرُ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ قَالَ : كَذَبْتَ وَاللَّهِ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عَدَدْتَ لَأَحْيَاءٌ كُلُّهُمْ ، وَقَدْ بَقِيَ لَكَ مَا يَسُوءُكَ ، فَقَالَ : يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ ، وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ ، إِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ فِي الْقَوْمِ مُثْلَةً لَمْ آمُرْ بِهَا ، وَلَمْ تَسُؤْنِي ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَرْتَجِزُ اعْلُ هُبَلُ ، اعْلُ هُبَلُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا تُجِيبُونَهُ ؟ " قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا نَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : " قُولُوا : اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ " . قَالَ : إِنَّ الْعُزَّى لَنَا ، وَلَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا تُجِيبُونَهُ ؟ " قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا نَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : " قُولُوا : اللَّهُ مَوْلَانَا وَلَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) over fifty archers and stationed them at a place, saying: "If you see us in such a state that birds are snatching us away, even then do not move from your place until I send a message to you. And if you see us prevailing over the enemy and trampling them, even then do not move from your place until I send a message to you."

So, in the battle, the polytheists were defeated. By Allah! I saw women climbing the mountains swiftly, their shins and anklets were visible, and they had lifted up their clothes. Seeing this, the companions of Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) began to say, "O people! Booty, your companions have prevailed, so what are you waiting for?" Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you forgetting what the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told you?" They said, "We will surely go to them so that we may also collect the booty." When they reached them, they were attacked from behind and were defeated and fled. This was the time when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept calling them from behind, but no one remained with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except twelve men, and seventy of our men were martyred.

On the occasion of the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) inflicted a loss of one hundred and forty men on the polytheists, of whom seventy were killed and seventy were captured. At that time, the commander of the polytheists, Abu Sufyan, after gaining victory, asked three times, "Is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) among the people?" But the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) from answering. Then he asked twice each about Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) by name, and then, turning to his companions, said, "All of them have been killed, and now you are rid of them." At this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) could not restrain himself and said, "By Allah! O enemy of Allah! You are lying. All those whose names you have mentioned are alive, and now you have received distressing news."

Abu Sufyan said, "This is the revenge for the Battle of Badr, and war is like a bucket (that turns by turns). You will see some of your people with their limbs cut off. I did not order this, but I did not dislike it either." Then he began to chant slogans of "Glory to Hubal." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not answer him?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: Allah is Most High and Most Great." Then Abu Sufyan said, "We have Uzza, but you have no Uzza." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not answer him?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: Allah is our Protector, but you have no protector."
