حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ , وَكَانَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ تُفَقِّهُهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ فِي حِوَاءِ شَرِيكِ بْنِ الْأَعْوَرِ الشَّارِعِ عَلَى الْمِرْبَدِ ، وَقَدْ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْأُمَرَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : " عَلَيْكُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ , فَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ , فعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ " , فَوَثَبَ جَعْفَرٌ ، فَقَالَ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا كُنْتُ أَرْهَبُ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَيَّ زَيْدًا , قَالَ : " امْضِهْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ " , فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَبِثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ , وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُنَادَى الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَابَ خَبْرٌ أَوْ بَاتَ خَبْرٌ أَوْ ثَابَ خَبْرٌ شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ , أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي ، إِنَّهُمْ انْطَلَقُوا فَلَقَوْا الْعَدُوَّ ، فَأُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ شَهِيدًا ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ " , فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ النَّاسُ " ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا ، أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ ، فَأَثْبَتَ قَدَمَيْهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ ، هُوَ أَمَّرَ نَفْسَهُ " , ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِكَ فَانْصُرْهُ " , فَمِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ سُمِّيَ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " انْفِرُوا فَأَمِدُّوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ ، وَلَا يَتَخَلَّفَنَّ أَحَدٌ " , قَالَ : فَنَفَرَ النَّاسُ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ مُشَاةً وَرُكْبَانًا .
Khalid bin Sameer says that once Abdullah bin Rabah came to us. I saw that many people had gathered around him and they were saying that "the horseman of the Messenger" Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had told us that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an army called "Jaish Umara" and said: "Your commander is Zaid bin Harithah. If Zaid is martyred, then Ja'far will be the commander. If Ja'far is also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah Ansari will be the commander." Upon this, Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you. I did not think that you would appoint Zaid as commander over me." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Set out, for you do not know in which matter there is goodness." So that army set out. After some time had passed, one day the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and ordered the call for "the prayer is ready" to be made, and said, "There is a sorrowful news. Shall I not tell you about the army of the Mujahideen? They set out from here and when they faced the enemy, Zaid was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people did so. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and attacked the enemy fiercely until he too was martyred. I bear witness to his martyrdom, so pray for his forgiveness. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and stood firm with great perseverance until he too was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness as well. Then Khalid bin Walid took the flag, although no one had appointed him as commander. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his finger and said, "O Allah! He is one of Your swords, so help him." From that day, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "Saifullah" (the Sword of Allah). Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Set out to help your brothers, and let no man stay behind." So, in that intense heat, people set out on foot and on mounts.
