704 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَي، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ، فَحَاصَ النَّاسُ حَيْصَةً، فَأَتَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَتَخَبَّأْنَا بِهَا، وَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، نَحْنُ الْفَرَّارُونَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْعَكَّارُونَ وَأنَا فِئَتُكُمْ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched a military expedition. Those people encountered the enemy, and they fled from there. When we returned to Madinah, we felt uneasy about this matter. We said: O Messenger of Allah! We have come back after fleeing. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(No!) Rather, you are those who turn back to attack, and I am with you.”
