Hadith 1729

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ [الْأَنْفَالِ: 65] ، فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلَا يَفِرَّ الْعِشْرُونَ مِنَ الْمِائَتَيْنِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: الآنَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضَعْفًا فَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ مِائَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ [الْأَنْفَالِ: 66] فَخَفَّفَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلَا تَفِرَّ مِائَةٌ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ.
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: When this verse was revealed: "If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred," it was made obligatory upon the Muslims that twenty men should not flee from facing two hundred. Then Allah the Exalted revealed: "Now Allah has lightened your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred." Thus, Allah lightened their burden and made it obligatory upon them that a hundred (Muslims) should not flee from facing two hundred (disbelievers).
