حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ إِمْلَاءً، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى مَكَانِ الْحَرْبِ أَمَرَهُمْ عَمْرٌو أَنْ لَا يُنَوِّرُوا نَارًا، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ وَهَمَّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ، فَنَهَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَعْمِلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا لِعِلْمِهِ بِالْحَرْبِ، فَهَدَأَ عَنْهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of an army, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were also in the army. When they reached the place of battle, Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the army not to light any fire. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and intended to go to him, but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped him and told him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had made him commander only because he knows the affairs of war. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) held back.
