حَدَّثَنَا
عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ
شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، أَنَّ
فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ يَقُولُ : غَزَوْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ ، فَجَهَدَ بِالظَّهْرِ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا ، فَشَكَوْا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا بِظَهْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، فَتَحَيَّنَ بِهِمْ مَضِيقًا فَسَارَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ :
" مُرُّوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ " ، فَمَرَّ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ بِظَهْرِهِمْ ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُخُ بِظَهْرِهِمْ : " اللَّهُمَّ احْمِلْ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِكَ ، إِنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ ، وَعَلَى الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ ، فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا بَلَغْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى جَعَلَتْ تُنَازِعُنَا أَزِمَّتَهَا ، قَالَ فَضَالَةُ : هَذِهِ دَعْوَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ ، فَمَا بَالُ الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ ! فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ غَزَوْنَا غَزْوَةَ قُبْرُسَ فِي الْبَحْرِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ السُّفُنَ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَمَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهَا ، عَرَفْتُ دَعْوَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) that we participated in the Battle of Tabuk along with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There were great difficulties regarding mounts. People complained to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a round among those mounts, then said to the people, "Take the name of Allah and pass before me." People began to pass their mounts in front of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started supplicating for them: "O Allah! Mount those who set out in Your path. Surely, You are capable of making both the strong and the weak ride, on dry and wet, on sea and land, everywhere." By the blessing of this supplication, by the time we reached the city, the riding animals had become so energetic that they began to snatch their reins from our hands. Hazrat Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the strong and the weak was fulfilled right there. As for the dry and the wet, when we reached Syria and fought the battle of the island of Cyprus in the sea, I saw boats in the sea that were safe from drowning. This was the supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I understood it then.
