(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ،
وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا
زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ
عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ
شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ : لَقِيَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : ما لِي أَرَاكَ قَدْ جَفَوْتَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
عُثْمَانَ ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : أَبْلِغْهُ . . . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ : " إِنِّي تَخَلَّفْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ، فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أُمَرِّضُ رُقَيَّةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ ، وَقَدْ ضَرَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَهْمٍ ، وَمَنْ ضَرَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَهْمٍ ، فَقَدْ شَهِدَ " . . . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ .
Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Walid bin Uqbah met Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). Walid said: "What is the matter, are you not being just with the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He replied: "Convey this message from me to him." Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith. And as for the reproach he gave me for staying behind from the Battle of Badr, the real matter is that I was occupied in nursing the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and my wife, Sayyida Ruqayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), until she passed away during that time. While the Prophet (peace be upon him) included my share in the spoils of war with the participants of Badr, and it was understood that whoever the Prophet (peace be upon him) allotted a share to, he was considered to have participated in the Battle of Badr.
