Hadith 6283

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، وَابْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ النَّاسُ يَسْتَسْقُونَ وَفِيهِمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ ، مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِِلا رَجُلٌ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَمْ غَزَا ؟ وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ : يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو ، " كَمْ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، قَالَ : تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ " ، قُلْتُ : كَمْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَهُ ؟ قَالَ : سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ . قُلْتُ : " مَا أَوَّلُ مَا غَزَا ؟ قَالَ : ذُو الْعُشَيْرَةِ أَوِ الْعُسَيْرَةِ " ، فَصَلَّى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ .
Abu Ishaq narrates: People went out to perform the prayer for rain (Salat al-Istisqa). Among them was Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam. There was only one person between me and him. I asked, "In how many battles (Ghazwat) did you participate?" Here, the narrator named Ibn Kathir has narrated these words: "O Abu Amr! In how many battles did the Prophet (peace be upon him) participate?" He replied: "In nineteen (19) battles." I asked, "In how many battles did you participate with the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" He replied: "In seventeen (17)." I asked, "Which was the first battle?" He said, "Dhu Ushayrah" (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) "Usayrah." Then Abdullah bin Zayd led the people in two units (rak‘ahs) of prayer.
