Bayhaqi 19757 — Reports on racing on foot

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، ثنا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: فَأَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَاءَهُ عَلَى الْعَضْبَاءِ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسُوقُ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يُسْبَقُ شَدًّا، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: أَلَا مِنْ مُسَابِقٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، هَلْ مِنْ مُسَابِقٍ؟ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَهُ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: " أَمَا تُكْرِمُ كَرِيمًا، وَلَا تَهَابُ شَرِيفًا؟ "، قَالَ: لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، وَأُمِّي، ائْذَنْ لِي، فَلْأُسَابِقِ الرَّجُلَ، قَالَ: " إِنْ شِئْتَ "، قَالَ: فَطَفَرْتُ، ثُمَّ عَدَوْتُ شَرَفًا، أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي تَرَفَّعْتُ حِينَ لَحِقْتُهُ فَأَصْطَكُّهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: سُبِقْتَ وَاللهِ، قَالَ: إِنْ أَظُنُّ، قَالَ: فَسَبَقْتُهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ⦗٣١⦘ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.
Iyas bin Salamah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him): We set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition, and he mentioned the hadith, (saying): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated me behind him on his she-camel al-Adba'. I was heading towards Madinah and we were travelling along. There was a man of the Ansar who ran very fast, and he kept saying: "Will anyone race me to Madinah? Is there anyone to race?" He said this again and again. When I heard what he said, I said: "Do you not honour the honourable, nor hold the noble in awe?" He said: "No, except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), may my father and mother be ransomed for you, if you permit me, shall I race this man?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, then do so." He said: I leapt down, then I ran a hillock or two, then, catching up with him from behind, I gained on him and struck him between his shoulders. I said: "You have been beaten, by Allah!" He said: "I think so." He said: So I beat him to Madinah.
