Hadith 15026
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مُرْتَحِلًا عَلَى جَمَلٍ لِي ضَعِيفٍ ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، جَعَلَتِ الرِّفَاقُ تَمْضِي ، وَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَلَّفُ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا لَكَ يَا جَابِرُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَبْطَأَ بِي جَمَلِي هَذَا ، قَالَ : " فَأَنِخْهُ " ، وَأَنَاخَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَعْطِنِي هَذِهِ الْعَصَا مِنْ يَدِكَ " ، أَوْ قَالَ : " اقْطَعْ لِي عَصًا مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ " , قَالَ : فَفَعَلْتُ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَخَسَهُ بِهَا نَخَسَاتٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ارْكَبْ " ، فَرَكِبْتُ ، فَخَرَجَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ يُوَاهِقُ نَاقَتَهُ مُوَاهَقَةً ، قَالَ : وَتَحَدَّثَ مَعِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَتَبِيعُنِي جَمَلَكَ هَذَا يَا جَابِرُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , بَلْ أَهَبُهُ لَكَ ، قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنْ بِعْنِيهِ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَسُمْنِي بِهِ ، قَالَ : " قَدْ قُلْتُ أَخَذْتُهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا , إِذًا يَغْبِنُنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " فَبِدِرْهَمَيْنِ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَرْفَعُ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْأُوقِيَّةَ , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَقَدْ رَضِيتُ ، قَالَ : " قَدْ رَضِيتَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قُلْتُ : هُوَ لَكَ ، قَالَ : " قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي : " يَا جَابِرُ , هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ بَعْدُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " أَثَيِّبًا أَمْ بِكْرًا ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بَلْ ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : " أَفَلَا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنْ أَبِي أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ , وَتَرَكَ بَنَاتٍ لَهُ سَبْعًا , فَنَكَحْتُ امْرَأَةً جَامِعَةً تَجْمَعُ رُءُوسَهُنَّ , وَتَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، قَالَ : " أَصَبْتَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : " أَمَا إِنَّا لَوْ قَدْ جِئْنَا صِرَارًا ، أَمَرْنَا بِجَزُورٍ فَنُحِرَتْ ، وَأَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَنَا ذَلِكَ ، وَسَمِعَتْ بِنَا فَنَفَضَتْ نَمَارِقَهَا " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا مِنْ نَمَارِقَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ ، فَإِذَا أَنْتَ قَدِمْتَ ، فَاعْمَلْ عَمَلًا كَيِّسًا " ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا صِرَارًا ، أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَزُورٍ ، فَنُحِرَتْ ، فَأَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، دَخَلَ وَدَخَلْنَا ، قَالَ : فَأَخْبَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَمَا قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : فَدُونَكَ ، فَسَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَخَذْتُ بِرَأْسِ الْجَمَلِ ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ بِهِ حَتَّى أَنَخْتُهُ عَلَى بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَى الْجَمَلَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , هَذَا جَمَلٌ جَاءَ بِهِ جَابِرٌ ، قَالَ : " فَأَيْنَ جَابِرٌ ؟ " ، فَدُعِيتُ لَهُ ، قَالَ : " تَعَالَ أَيْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، خُذْ بِرَأْسِ جَمَلِكَ , فَهُوَ لَكَ " ، قَالَ : فَدَعَا بِلَالًا ، فَقَالَ : " اذْهَبْ بِجَابِرٍ ، فَأَعْطِهِ أُوقِيَّةً " ، فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَأَعْطَانِي أُوقِيَّةً وَزَادَنِي شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا , قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَ يَنْمِي عِنْدَنَا , وَنَرَى مَكَانَهُ مِنْ بَيْتِنَا ، حَتَّى أُصِيبَ أَمْسِ فِيمَا أُصِيبَ النَّاسُ ، يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْحَرَّةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa’, I set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) riding on my weak camel. On the return journey, the riders moved ahead and I was left behind, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and said: “Jabir, what has happened to you?” I replied: “O Messenger of Allah! My camel has become slow.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Make it sit down.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself made it sit down and said: “Give me the stick in your hand.” “Break a branch from that tree and give it to me.” I did so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pricked it a few times and said: “Now ride it.” So I mounted it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it was now competing with the other camels.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to me and said: “Jabir, will you sell me your camel?” I replied: “O Messenger of Allah! I give it to you as a gift.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No, sell it to me.” I said: “Then tell me its price.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I will take it for one dirham.” I said: “No, that would be a loss.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Two dirhams,” but I still refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept increasing until he reached one uqiyah. Then I said: “I am pleased.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Are you pleased?” I said: “Yes, it is yours.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have taken it.”
A little while later, he asked me: “Jabir, have you married?” I replied: “Yes.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “To a virgin or a previously married woman?” I said: “To a previously married woman.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you?” I replied: “O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred at the battle of Uhud and left behind seven daughters, so I married a woman who could look after them.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “You have done well.” Then he said: “If we reach a high hill, we will slaughter a camel and stay there for a day. When the women know of our arrival, they will shake out the bedding.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, we do not have such sheets.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Soon you will have them. And when you reach home, you may go near your wife.”
So, when we reached a high hill, it happened as he said, and in the evening we entered Madinah. I told my wife the whole story and what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to me. She said: “Very good, with pleasure.” In the morning, I took hold of the camel’s head, brought it, and made it sit at the door of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I myself went and sat in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and saw it, and asked the people: “Whose camel is this?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Jabir has brought it.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Where is Jabir himself?” I was called, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Nephew, this camel is yours, take it.” And he called Sayyiduna Bilal and ordered him: “Take Jabir with you and give him one uqiyah of silver.” So I went with him, and he gave me one uqiyah, and even a little more. By Allah, it remained with us until the people took it on the day of Harrah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to me and said: “Jabir, will you sell me your camel?” I replied: “O Messenger of Allah! I give it to you as a gift.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No, sell it to me.” I said: “Then tell me its price.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I will take it for one dirham.” I said: “No, that would be a loss.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Two dirhams,” but I still refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept increasing until he reached one uqiyah. Then I said: “I am pleased.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Are you pleased?” I said: “Yes, it is yours.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have taken it.”
A little while later, he asked me: “Jabir, have you married?” I replied: “Yes.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “To a virgin or a previously married woman?” I said: “To a previously married woman.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you?” I replied: “O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred at the battle of Uhud and left behind seven daughters, so I married a woman who could look after them.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “You have done well.” Then he said: “If we reach a high hill, we will slaughter a camel and stay there for a day. When the women know of our arrival, they will shake out the bedding.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, we do not have such sheets.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Soon you will have them. And when you reach home, you may go near your wife.”
So, when we reached a high hill, it happened as he said, and in the evening we entered Madinah. I told my wife the whole story and what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to me.

By Allah, it remained with us until the people took it on the day of Harrah.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي , عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ , عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ , عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : لَمَّا اسْتَقْبَلْنَا وَادِيَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ : انْحَدَرْنَا فِي وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ تِهَامَةَ أَجْوَفَ حَطُوطٍ , إِنَّمَا نَنْحَدِرُ فِيهِ انْحِدَارًا , قَالَ : وَفِي عَمَايَةِ الصُّبْحِ , وَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ كَمَنُوا لَنَا فِي شِعَابِهِ ، وَفِي أَجْنَابِهِ ، وَمَضَايِقِهِ , قَدْ أَجْمَعُوا وَتَهَيَّئُوا وَأَعَدُّوا , قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَاعَنَا وَنَحْنُ مُنْحَطُّونَ ، إِلَّا الْكَتَائِبُ قَدْ شَدَّتْ عَلَيْنَا شَدَّةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ , وَانْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ رَاجِعِينَ , فَاسْتَمَرُّوا لَا يَلْوِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ ، وَانْحَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ , ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَيَّ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ , هَلُمَّوا إِلَيَّ , أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ , أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : فَلَا شَيْءَ , احْتَمَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا , فَانْطَلَقَ النَّاسُ , إِلَّا أَنَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , رَهْطًا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، وَالْأَنْصَارِ , وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ غَيْرَ كَثِيرٍ , وَفِيمَنْ ثَبَتَ مَعَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ , وَمِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ , وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ , وَابْنُهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ , وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ , وَرَبِيعَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ , وأَيْمَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ , وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ لَهُ أَحْمَرَ , فِي يَدِهِ رَايَةٌ لَهُ سَوْدَاءُ فِي رَأْسِ رُمْحٍ طَوِيلٍ لَهُ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ , وَهَوَازِنُ خَلْفَهُ , فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَ طَعَنَ بِرُمْحِهِ , وَإِذَا فَاتَهُ النَّاسُ رَفَعَهُ لِمَنْ وَرَاءَهُ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ ، قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ صَاحِبُ الرَّايَةِ , عَلَى جَمَلِهِ ذَلِكَ يَصْنَعُ مَا يَصْنَعُ , إِذْ هَوَى لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ , وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُرِيدَانِهِ , قَالَ : فَيَأْتِيهِ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ , فَضَرَبَ عُرْقُوبَيِ الْجَمَلِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى عَجُزِهِ , وَوَثَبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً أَطَنَّ قَدَمَهُ بِنِصْفِ سَاقِهِ , فَانْعَجَفَ عَنْ رَحْلِهِ وَاجْتَلَدَ النَّاسُ , فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَجَعَتْ رَاجِعَةُ النَّاسِ مِنْ هَزِيمَتِهِمْ حَتَّى وَجَدُوا الْأَسْرَى مُكَتَّفِينَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we reached the valley of Hunain, we descended into a hollow valley of Tihamah. We were descending into it, slipping as we went. It was morning, and the enemy's people were lying in wait for us in the passes, on the edges, and in narrow places. They had come united and well-prepared. By Allah, we were still descending when they did not give us a chance to gather ourselves, and all their armies attacked us together. People began to retreat in defeat, and no one cared for anyone else. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved to the right side and began calling out to the people, "O people, come to me! I am the Messenger of Allah! I am Muhammad bin Abdullah!" At that time, even the camels were running here and there, and very few of the Muhajirun, Ansar, and members of the Prophet's household remained with him. Among those who stood firm were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Umar, and among the Ahl al-Bayt were Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Abbas, his son Fadl, Abu Sufyan bin Harith, Rabi'ah bin Harith, Ayman bin Ubaid (who was the son of Umm Ayman), and Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zaid. Meanwhile, a man from Banu Hawazin was riding a red camel, holding a black flag tied to the tip of a long spear. He was ahead of the people, and the rest of Hawazin were following him. Whenever he found someone, he would strike him with his spear, and when he saw no one, he would raise it for those behind him, and they would follow him. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that while that man from Banu Hawazin, who was the standard-bearer, was still mounted on his camel and doing what he was doing, suddenly he encountered Sayyiduna Ali and an Ansari. Both of them pursued him. Sayyiduna Ali struck the heels of his camel from behind so that it fell on its tail, and the Ansari leapt upon him and struck him so that his foot was cut up to half his shin. He fell from his mount, and the people fled. By Allah, people ran wherever they could to save themselves from defeat, but in the end, they were captured and brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were digging the trench with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I had a six-month-old goat. I thought to myself, why not roast it and arrange food for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? So I told my wife, and she had some barley, from which she baked bread, and we slaughtered the goat and roasted it for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When evening came and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to return from the trench—as we used to work all day and return home in the evening—I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have roasted a little meat that we had, and with it, some barley bread has been baked. I wish that you would come with me to my house. My intention was that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come alone with me, but when I invited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to come, he said: Very well, and ordered a caller, who announced throughout the army that everyone should go to the house of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In my heart, I recited: "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and all the people came and sat down. We brought whatever we had cooked and placed it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for blessing in it and, saying "Bismillah," began to eat from it. People kept coming and eating until all the people of the trench had eaten their fill of that food.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us on a military expedition and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah as our commander. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a bag of dates as provisions, and nothing else. At first, Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah would give us each a handful of dates, then he started giving just one date each. The narrator asked, "What would you do with a single date?" He replied, "We would chew and suck it like children, then drink water over it, and that would be our food until night." When the dates ran out, we would knock down leaves from trees with our sticks, soak them in water, and eat them. In this way, we suffered from severe hunger. One day, while we were at the seashore, the sea threw out a dead fish for us. At first, Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah said, "This is carrion," but then he said, "We are warriors and hungry, so eat it." We stayed there for a month. We were three hundred men, and after eating it, we became healthy and strong. We saw that we would extract oil from its eye sockets with pitchers, and we would cut its meat like beef.
