باب 11 ذكر جمل غزواته و أحواله ص بعد غزوة بدر الكبرى إلى غزوة أحد

CHAPTER 11 – MENTION OF THE SUMMARY OF HIS^-saww MILITARY EXPEDITIONS AND HIS^-saww SITUATION AFTER THE BATTLE OF BADR UP TO THE BATTLE OF OHAD

الآيات الحشر كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيباً ذاقُوا وَبالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ‏

The Verses – Like those from before them a while back. They tasted the evil consequences of their affair, and for them would be a painful Punishment [59:15] 

1- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب عم، إعلام الورى‏ لَمَّا رَجَعَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ بَدْرٍ لَمْ يُقِمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِلَّا سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ حَتَّى غَزَا بِنَفْسِهِ يُرِيدُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَاءً مِنْ مِيَاهِهِمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْكُدْرُ فَأَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْداً فَأَقَامَ بِهَا بَقِيَّةَ شَوَّالٍ وَ ذَا الْقَعْدَةِ وَ فَادَى فِي إِقَامَتِهِ جُلَّ أُسَارَى بَدْرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub and ‘Alam Al-Wara’ – ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww returned to Al-Medina from Badr did not stay at Al-Medina except for seven nights until he^-saww led a military expedition himself^-saww intending the clan of Suleym until he^-saww reached a water (hole) from their waters called Al-Kudr. He^-saww stayed there for three nights, then returned to Al-Medina and did not encounter any plots. He^-saww stayed at it for the remainder of Shawwal and Zil Qadah, and ransomed during his^-saww stay the majority of the captives of Badr from Quraysh.

ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ السَّوِيقِ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ نَذَرَ أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ حَتَّى يَغْزُوَ مُحَمَّداً ص فَخَرَجَ فِي مِائَةِ رَاكِبٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ لِيُبِرَّ يَمِينَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى بَرِيدٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَتَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ لَيْلًا فَضَرَبَ عَلَى حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ بَابَهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَفْتَحَ لَهُ

Then there was the military expedition of Al-Saweyq, and that is when Abu Sufyan vowed that he would not afflict his head going near women (union) until he battles against Muhammad^-saww. He set out with a hundred horsemen from Quraysh to fulfil his oath. When he reached a point one ‘barid’ (approximately seven miles) away from Medina, he went to the (tribe of) Banu Nadir at night and knocked on Huyayy ibn Akhtab’s door, but Huyayy refused to open it for him.

فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ إِلَى سَلَامِ بْنِ مِشْكَمٍ وَ كَانَ سَيِّدَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَ سَارَّهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِي عَقِبِ لَيْلَتِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى أَصْحَابَهُ وَ بَعَثَ رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَوْا نَاحِيَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعُرَيْضُ فَوَجَدُوا رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ حَلِيفاً لَهُ فَقَتَلُوهُمَا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا وَ نَذَرَ بِهِمُ النَّاسُ

He left from him to go to Salam Bin Mishkam, and he was a chief of the clan of Nazeyr and sought permission to see him. He permitted for him and cheered him. Then he went out following him until he came to his companions and sent someone from Quraysh to Al-Medina. Then came to an area called Al-Ureyza, and they found a man from the Helpers and an ally of his. They killed them both, then left, and let the people know of them.

فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي طَلَبِهِمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ قَرْقَرَةَ الْكُدْرِ وَ رَجَعَ وَ قَدْ فَاتَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ رَأَوْا زَاداً مِنْ أَزْوَادِ الْقَوْمِ قَدْ طَرَحُوهَا يَتَخَفَّفُونَ مِنْهَا لِلنَّجَاءِ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا السَّوِيقُ فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ السَّوِيقِ وَ وَافَقُوا السُّوقَ وَ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ تِجَارَاتٌ‏ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حِينَ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَ نَطْمَعُ بِأَنْ تَكُونَ لَنَا غَزْوَةٌ فَقَالَ ص نَعَمْ

Rasool-Allah^-saww went out in their search until he^-saww reached the pebbles of Al-Kudr and returned, and Abu Sufyan had escaped him^-saww, and they saw provision of the people which they had dropped in order to be lightened from these for the escape, and among these was the Saweyq (porridge), so the military expedition was named as Al-Saweyq, and they went to the market as there was trading for them. The Muslims said when Rasool-Allah^-saww returned with them, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Should we desire that a battle should take place for us?’ He^-saww said: ‘Yes’.

ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ ذِي أَمَرٍ بَعْدَ مُقَامِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَقِيَّةَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَ الْمُحَرَّمَ مَرْجِعَهُ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ السَّوِيقِ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ جَمْعاً مِنْ غَطَفَانَ قَدْ تَجَمَّعُوا يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُصِيبُوا مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ دُعْثُورُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُحَارِبٍ فَخَرَجَ فِي أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا وَ مَعَهُمْ أَفْرَاسٌ وَ هَرَبَ مِنْهُ الْأَعْرَابُ فَوْقَ ذُرَى الْجِبَالِ وَ نَزَلَ ص ذَا أَمَرٍ وَ عَسْكَرَ بِهِ

Then there was the military expedition of ZiAmr after his^-saww stay at Al-Medina for the remainder of Zul Hijja and Al-Muharram, having returned from the military expedition of Al-Saweyq, and that is when news reached him^-saww that a group from Gatafan had gathered intending to strike from the outskirts of Al-Medina, (in charge) upon them was a man called Do’sur Bin Al-Haris. He^-saww went out among four hundred and fifty men and with them were horsemen, and the Bedouins fled from him^-saww at the peak of the mountain, and he^-saww descended at ZaAmr, and the soldiers were with him^-saww.

وَ أَصَابَهُمْ مَطَرٌ كَثِيرٌ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِحَاجَةٍ فَأَصَابَهُ ذَلِكَ الْمَطَرُ فَبَلَّ ثَوْبَهُ وَ قَدْ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَادِيَ أَمَرٍ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ نَزَعَ ثِيَابَهُ فَنَشَرَهَا لِتَجُفَّ وَ أَلْقَاهَا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ تَحْتَهَا وَ الْأَعْرَابُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا يَفْعَلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

And the rains hit them, and Rasool-Allah^-saww went out for a need and that rain hit him^-saww and drenched his^-saww clothes, and Rasool-Allah^-saww had made the valley of Amr to be between him^-saww and his^-saww companions. Then he^-saww removed his^-saww clothes and spread them to dry them, hanging upon a tree. Then he^-saww lay down beneath it, and the Bedouins looked at all that Rasool-Allah^-saww was doing.

فَقَالَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ لِدُعْثُورٍ وَ كَانَ سَيِّدَهُمْ وَ أَشْجَعَهُمْ قَدْ أَمْكَنَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ قَدِ انْفَرَدَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصْحَابِهِ حَيْثُ إِنْ غَوَّثَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ لَمْ يُغَثْ حَتَّى تَقْتُلَهُ فَاخْتَارَ سَيْفاً مِنْ سُيُوفِهِمْ صَارِماً ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ مُشْتَمِلًا عَلَى السَّيْفِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِالسَّيْفِ مَشْهُوراً

The Bedouins said to Do’sur, and he was their chief and their bravest, ‘Muhammad^-saww has enabled you, and he^-saww is isolated from his^-saww companions, from where he^-saww can be helped by his^-saww companions. He^-saww will not be helped until we kill him^-saww’. He firmly selected a sword from their swords, then went relying upon the sword until he stood by the head of Rasool-Allah^-saww with the bared sword.

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي الْيَوْمَ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَ دَفَعَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فِي صَدْرِهِ فَوَقَعَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي قَالَ لَا أَحَدَ وَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُكْثِرُ عَلَيْكَ جَمْعاً أَبَداً فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَيْفَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ‏

He said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Who will protect you^-saww from me today?’ He^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj’, and Jibraeel^-as pushed him in his chest, and the sword fell from his hand, and Rasool-Allah^-saww seized it and stood at his head and said: ‘Who will protect you from me^-saww today?’ He said, ‘No one, and I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and that Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj. By Allah^-azwj! I will not increase any group against you^-saww, ever!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww gave him back his sword, then he turned around, then faced him^-saww, then said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! You^-saww are better than me’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am deserving of that’.

فَأَتَى قَوْمَهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ وَ قَدْ أَمْكَنَكَ وَ السَّيْفُ فِي يَدِكَ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ أَبْيَضَ طَوِيلٍ دَفَعَ فِي صَدْرِي فَوَقَعْتُ لِظَهْرِي فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ مَلَكٌ وَ شَهِدْتُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُكْثِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلَ يَدْعُو قَوْمَهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ‏ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ هَمَّ قَوْمٌ أَنْ يَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَكَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

He came to his people, and it was said to him, ‘Where is what you were saying, and you were able, and the sword was in your hand?’ He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, that is so, but I looked at a tall white man who pushed me in my chest, and I fell upon my back, and I knew that he was an Angel, and I testified that Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj. By Allah^-azwj! I will not increase against him^-saww’, and he went on calling his people to Al-Islam; and this Verse was Revealed: O you who believe! Recall the Favours of Allah upon you when a people resolved to extend their hands towards you, but He Restrained their hands from you [5:11] – the Verse.

ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ الْقَرَدَةِ مَاءٌ مِنْ مِيَاهِ نَجْدٍ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ بَدْرٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ فَأَصَابُوا عِيراً لِقُرَيْشٍ عَلَى الْقَرَدَةِ فِيهَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ مَعَهُ فِضَّةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ قُرَيْشاً قَدْ خَافَتْ طَرِيقَهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَسْلُكُ إِلَى الشَّامِ حِينَ كَانَ مِنْ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ فَسَلَكُوا طَرِيقَ الْعِرَاقِ وَ اسْتَأْجَرُوا رَجُلًا مِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ فُرَاتُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ يَدُلُّهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَأَصَابَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ تِلْكَ الْعِيرَ وَ أَعْجَزَتْهُ الرِّجَالُ هَرَبا

Then there was the military expedition of Al-Qarada, a watering place in the region of Najd. Rasool-Allah^-saww sent Zayd Bin Haris after his^-saww return from Badr to Al-Medina by six months. They attained a caravan of Quraysh at Al-Qarada in which was Abu Sufyan, and with him was a lot of silver, and that is because Quraysh had concealed its path which it used to travel to Syria when the event of Badr had transpired. They travelled the path of Al-Iraq and hired a man from Bakr Bin Wail called Furat Bin Hayyan to guide them on the path. Zayd Bin Al-Harisa attained that caravan and the men were unable to flee.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْوَاقِدِيِّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْعِيرَ مَعَ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِمُوا بِالْعِيرِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَسَرُوا رَجُلًا أَوْ رَجُلَيْنِ وَ كَانَ فُرَاتُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ أَسِيراً فَأَسْلَمَ فَتُرِكَ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ

And in a report of Al-Waqidy – ‘That caravan was with Safwan Bin Umayya, and they went with the caravan to Rasool-Allah^-saww and they had captured a man or two men, and Furat Bin Hayyan was a captive, and he became a Muslim and was left from being killed.

ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِلنِّصْفِ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ‏ عَلَى رَأْسِ عِشْرِينَ شَهْراً مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَمَعَهُمْ وَ إِيَّاهُ سُوقَ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِ احْذَرُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ مِثْلَ مَا نَزَلَ بِقُرَيْشٍ مِنْ قَوَارِعِ اللَّهِ فَأَسْلِمُوا فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ نَعْتِي وَ صِفَتِي فِي كِتَابِكُمْ

Then there was the military expedition of the clan of Qaynaqa on the day of Saturday of the middle of Shaban, at the start of the twentieth month from the Emigration, and that is that Rasool-Allah^-saww gathered with them at the market of the clan of Qaynaqa and he^-saww said to the Jews: ‘Be careful of Allah^-azwj like what descended with Quraysh, from the calamities of Allah^-azwj. Become Muslims for you have already recognised my^-saww attributes and my^-saww description in your Books’.

فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ أَنَّكَ لَقِيتَ قَوْمَكَ فَأَصَبْتَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ حَارَبْنَاكَ لَعَلِمْتَ أَنَّا خِلَافُهُمْ فَكَادَتْ تَقَعُ بَيْنَهُمُ الْمُنَاجَزَةُ وَ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ‏ قَدْ كانَ لَكُمْ آيَةٌ فِي فِئَتَيْنِ الْتَقَتا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ لِأُولِي الْأَبْصارِ

They said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Do not be deceived by what you^-saww faced your^-saww people and your^-saww achievements from them, for by Allah^-azwj if we were to go to war against you^-saww, you^-saww will come to know we are different to them’. Fighting almost broke out between them, and it was Revealed regarding them: There was a sign for you in the two groups, which met in an encounter – up to His^-azwj Words: for the ones of insight [3:13]

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَاصَرَهُمْ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ‏ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِهِ‏ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَوَالِيَّ وَ حُلَفَائِي وَ قَدْ مَنَعُونِي مِنَ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْأَحْمَرِ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دَارِعٍ وَ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ حَاسِرٍ تَحْصُدُهُمْ فِي غَدَاةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنِّي وَ اللَّهِ لَا آمَنُ وَ أَخْشَى الدَّوَائِرَ وَ كَانُوا حُلَفَاءَ الْخَزْرَجِ دُونَ الْأَوْسِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَطْلُبُ فِيهِمْ حَتَّى وَهَبَهُمْ لَهُ ‏

And it is reported that Rasool-Allah^-saww besieged them for six days until they descended to his^-saww decision. Abdullah Bin Ubayy stood and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! My friends and my allies had prevented me from the black and the red – three hundred armoured ones and four hundred unshielded ones, I had reaped them in one morning. By Allah^-azwj, I will not believe and I fear the misfortunes, and they were allies of Al-Khazraj, besides Al-Aws’. He did not cease to seek regarding them until he^-saww gifted them to him.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا نَزَلَ بِهِمْ مِنَ الذُّلِّ خَرَجُوا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ نَزَلُوا أَذْرِعَاتٍ‏ وَ نَزَلَتْ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَ نَاسٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَ النَّصارى‏ أَوْلِياءَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ نادِمِينَ

When they saw what had befallen them from the disgrace, they went out from Al-Medina and they descended at Azriat. And it was Revealed regarding Ubeydullah Bin Ubayy and the people from the clan of Al-Khazraj: O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends [5:51] – up to His^-azwj Words: regretful regarding themselves [5:52].[1]

2- فس، تفسير القمي‏ قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَ تُحْشَرُونَ إِلى‏ جَهَنَّمَ وَ بِئْسَ الْمِهادُ فَإِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَ بَدْرٍ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ بَدْرٍ أَتَى بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ وَ هُمْ بِنَادِيهِمْ‏ وَ كَانَ بِهَا سُوقٌ يُسَمَّى سُوقَ النَّبَطِ

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Say to those who are committing Kufr: ‘You shall be vanquished and Driven to Hell; and it is the evil settling place’ [3:12] – it was Revealed after Badr. When Rasool-Allah^-saww returned from Badr he^-saww came to the clan of Qaynaqa and they were is a gathering of theirs, and there was a market nearby it called the market of Al-Nabat.

فَأَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَا نَزَلَ بِقُرَيْشٍ وَ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ عَدَداً وَ سِلَاحاً وَ كُرَاعاً مِنْكُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww came to them and said: ‘O community of Jews! You have known what befell with Quraysh and they were more in number and weaponry and livestock than you all, therefore enter into Al-Islam’.

فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ تَحْسَبُ حَرْبَنَا مِثْلَ حَرْبِ قَوْمِكَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ قَدْ لَقِيتَنَا لَلَقِيتَ رِجَالًا فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَ تُحْشَرُونَ إِلى‏ جَهَنَّمَ وَ بِئْسَ الْمِهادُ قَدْ كانَ لَكُمْ آيَةٌ فِي فِئَتَيْنِ الْتَقَتا يَعْنِي فِئَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ فِئَةَ الْكُفَّارِ إِنَّهَا عِبْرَةٌ لَكُمْ

They said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! You^-saww reckoning battling us is like battling your people? By Allah^-azwj! If you^-saww had met us you^-saww would have met men’. Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Say to those who are committing Kufr: ‘You shall be vanquished and Driven to Hell; and it is the evil settling place’ [3:12] There was a sign for you in the two groups which met in an encounter; [3:13] – meaning a group of Muslims and a group of Kafirs, it is a lesson for you.

وَ إِنَّهُ تَهْدِيدٌ لِلْيَهُودِ فِئَةٌ تُقاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏وَ أُخْرى‏ كافِرَةٌ يَرَوْنَهُمْ مِثْلَيْهِمْ رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ‏ أَيْ كَانُوا مِثْلَيِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ‏ وَ اللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصْرِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِأُولِي الْأَبْصارِ

And it is a threat for the Jews, one group fighting in the Way of Allah and the other Kafir. They saw them as being twice as many as themselves with the sight of the eye; – i.e. they were twice as many as the Muslims, and Allah Strengthens with His Help whom He so Desires to; – meaning Rasool-Allah^-saww on the Day of Badr, Surely, in that there is a lesson for the ones of insight [3:13]’’.[2]

3- أَقُولُ قَالَ فِي الْمُنْتَقَى، فِي وَقَائِعِ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ كَانَتْ سَرِيَّةُ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ خَرَشَةَ إِلَى عَصْمَاءَ بِنْتِ مَرْوَانَ الْيَهُودِيِّ لِخَمْسِ لَيَالٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ عَلَى رَأْسِ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْراً مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ كَانَتْ عَصْمَاءُ تُعَيِّبُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ تُؤْذِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ تَقُولُ الشِّعْرَ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘He said in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’ regarding the events of the second year from the Emigration – ‘And in this year was the battalion of Umeyr Bin Aday Bin Kharsha to Asmaa Bint Marwan the Jew in the five nights past from the Month of Ramazan in the beginning of the ninth month from the Emigration; and Umeyr used to fault the Muslims and hurt Rasool-Allah^-saww and compose the poems.

فَجَاءَ عُمَيْرٌ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بَيْتَهَا وَ حَوْلَهَا نَفَرٌ مِنْ وُلْدِهَا أَيْتَامٌ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ تُرْضِعُهُ فِي صَدْرِهَا فَنَحَّى الصَّبِيَّ عَنْهَا وَ وَضَعَ سَيْفَهُ فِي صَدْرِهَا حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهَا وَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ‏ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ قَتَلْتَ ابْنَةَ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا يَنْتَطِحُ فِيهَا عَنْزَانِ وَ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ أَوَّلَ مَا سُمِعَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ

Umeyr came until he entered her house, and around it were a number of her orphaned children; among them was one whom she was breast-feeding in her chest. He isolated the child from her and placed his sword in her chest until it came out from her back, and he prayed Salat with the Prophet^-saww in Al-Medina. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to him: ‘You killed the daughter of Marwan?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^-saww said: ‘No two goats will lock horns in it’. And these words were the first of what was heard from Rasool-Allah^-saww. And during this year was the military expedition of the clan of Qaynaqa’’.[3]

4- وَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ وَ كَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى إِخْرَاجَهُمْ عِبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ ثُمَّ سَارُوا إِلَى أَذْرِعَاتٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ الشَّامِ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى هَلَكُوا وَ كَانَ قَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ وَ كَانَ لِوَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَعَ حَمْزَةَ

And Ibn Al-Aseer said, ‘And the one who was in charge of their expulsion was Abada Bin Al-Samit. Then they travelled to Azriat from the land of Syria. They did not remain there except for a little while until they died, and they had left behind Abu Lubaba at Al-Medina, and the flag of Rasool-Allah^-saww was him Hamza^-asws.

ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَ حَضَرَ الْأَضْحَى فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَصَلَّى بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ صَلَاةِ عِيدٍ صَلَّاهَا وَ ضَحَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِشَاتَيْنِ وَ قِيلَ بِشَاةٍ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ أَضْحًى رَآهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ ضَحَّى مَعَهُ ذَوُو الْيَسَارِ وَ كَانَتِ الْغَزْوَةُ فِي شَوَّالٍ بَعْدَ بَدْرٍ وَ قِيلَ كَانَتْ فِي صَفَرٍ سَنَةِ ثَلَاثٍ جَعَلَهَا بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ الْكُدْرِ

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww left and (Eid) Al-Azha presented, so Rasool-Allah^-saww went out to the praying place and prayed Salat with the Muslims, and it is the first Salat of Eid he^-saww prayed; and Rasool-Allah^-saww scarified two sheep during it, and it is said, one sheep. And it was the first sacrifice which the Muslims had seen and they sacrificed along with him^-saww on the left, and the military expedition was during Shawwal after Badr, and it is said it was during Safar in the third year, making it to be after the military expedition of Al-Kudr.

قال ابن إسحاق‏ كانت في شوال سنة اثنتين وَ قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ كَانَتْ فِي مُحَرَّمٍ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ كَانَ قَدْ بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص اجْتِمَاعُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فِي مَاءٍ لَهُمْ‏ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْكُدْرُ بِضَمِّ الْكَافِ وَ سُكُونِ الدَّالِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ فَسَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى الْكُدْرِ فَلَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْداً وَ كَانَ لِوَاؤُهُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَ عَادَ وَ مَعَهُ النَّعَمُ وَ الرِّعَاءُ

Ibn Is’haq said, ‘It was during Shawal of the second year’. And Al-Waqidy (Wahabi imam) said, ‘It was during Muharram of the third year’. And it (news) had reached Rasool-Allah^-saww of the gathering of the clan of Suleym at a spring of theirs called Al-Kudr. Rasool-Allah^-saww travelled to Al-Kudr but did not meet any plot, and his^-saww flag was with Ali^-asws, and he^-saww left Ibn Umm Maktoum in charge over Al-Medina, and he^-saww returned and with him^-saww were bounties and the sheep.

وَ كَانَ قُدُومُهُ فِي قَوْلٍ لِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ وَ بَعْدَ قُدُومِهِ أَرْسَلَ غَالِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ اللَّيْثِيَّ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ إِلَى بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَ غَطَفَانَ فَقَتَلُوا فِيهِمْ وَ غَنِمُوا النَّعَمَ وَ اسْتُشْهِدَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ وَ عَادُوا مُنْتَصَفَ شَوَّالٍ ثُمَّ كَانَ غَزْوَةُ السَّوِيقِ وَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مَاتَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فَدُفِنَ بِالْبَقِيعِ وَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى رَأْسِ قَبْرِهِ حَجَراً عَلَامَةً لِقَبْرِهِ‏

And his^-saww arrival was during the ten nights past from Shawwal. And after his^-saww arrival, he^-saww sent Ghalib Bin Abdullah Al-Layshi in a battalion to the clan of Suleym and Gatafan. They killed among them and attained the war booty, and three persons from the Muslims were martyred, and they returned in the middle of Shawwal. Then there was the military expedition of Al-Saweyq, and in Zil Hijjah of the second year Usman Bin Mazoun died, and he was buried at Al-Baqie, and Rasool-Allah^-saww made a stone to be at the head of his grave as a sign of his grave.[4]

5- وَ قَالَ فِي الْمُنْتَقَى‏ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مَاتَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ وَ كَانَ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْكُتُبَ الْمُتَقَدِّمَةَ وَ رَغِبَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَ أُخْبِرَ أَنَّ نَبِيّاً يَخْرُجُ قَدْ أَظَلَّ زَمَانُهُ وَ كَانَ يُؤَمِّلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ خُرُوجُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَفَرَ بِهِ حَسَداً وَ لَمَّا أَنْشَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص شِعْرَهُ قَالَ آمَنَ لِسَانُهُ وَ كَفَرَ قَلْبُهُ‏ وَ ذَكَرَ غَزْوَةَ السَّوِيقِ فِي حَوَادِثِ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ غَيْبَتَهُ ص فِيهَا كَانَتْ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ

And he said in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’ – In the second year Umayya bin Al-Salt died, and he had recited the ancient Books and had turned away from worshipping the idols, and he informed that a Prophet^-saww had emerged in his time, and he was inclined that he^-saww would happen to be that Prophet^-saww. But when news reached him of the emergence of Rasool-Allah^-saww, he disbelieved in him^-saww out of envy, and when he prosed a poem for Rasool-Allah^-saww, he^-saww said: ‘His tongue expresses belief and his heart disbelieves’. And he mentioned the military of Al-Saweyq among the events of the third year, and mentioned that his^-saww absence during it was of five days’’.[5]

6- وَ قَالَ فِي الْكَامِلِ‏ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّ جَمْعاً مِنْ بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَةَ وَ بَنِي مُحَارِبِ بْنِ حَفْصَةَ تَجَمَّعُوا لِيُصِيبُوا فَسَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا فَلَمَّا صَارَ بِذِي الْقَصَّةِ بِفَتْحِ الْقَافِ وَ الصَّادِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ لَقِيَ رَجُلًا مِنْ تَغْلِبَة فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَتَاهُمْ خَبَرُهُ فَهَرَبُوا إِلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ فَعَادَ وَ لَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْداً وَ كَانَ مُقَامُهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً

And he said in (the book) ‘Al-Kamil’ – In Al-Muharram of the year three, Rasool-Allah^-saww heard that a group from the clan of Sa’ad Bin Taglib and clan of Muharib Bin Hafsa had gathered in order to strike, so he^-saww travelled towards them among four hundred and fifty men. When he came to Zul Qasa he^-saww met a man from Taglib, so he^-saww invited him to Al-Islam, and he became a Muslim and informed him^-saww that the Polytheists had received his^-saww news and they had fled to the top of the mountain. He^-saww returned and did not meet any plot and his^-saww stay was of twelve nights.

وَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى غَزَا بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ بِنَجْرَانَ‏ وَ سَبَبُ هَذِهِ الْغَزْوَةِ أَنَّ جَمْعاً مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ تَجَمَّعُوا بِنَجْرَانَ‏ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْفُرْعِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَسَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ‏ وَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ تَفَرَّقُوا فَانْصَرَفَ وَ لَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْداً وَ كَانَتْ غَيْبَتُهُ عَشْرَ لَيَالٍ وَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ

And during that year in Jumadi Al-Awwal was the military expedition of the clan of Suleym at Najran, and the cause of this military expedition was that a group from the clan of Suleym had gathered at Najran from the direction of Al-Fur’y. That reached Rasool-Allah^-saww and he^-saww travelled towards them with three hundred. When he^-saww came to be at Najran, he^-saww found them to have fled, so he^-saww left and did not meet any plot, and his^-saww absence was of twelve nights, and he^-saww had left behind Ibn Umm Maktoum in charge over Al-Medina’’.[6]

7- وَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ وَ الْكَازِرُونِيُّ دَخَلَ حَدِيثُ بَعْضِهِمْ فِي بَعْضٍ‏ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ قُتِلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ مِنْ طَيِ‏ءٍ وَ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ كَانَ قَدْ كَبُرَ عَلَيْهِ قَتْلُ مَنْ قُتِلَ بِبَدْرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَسَارَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ حَرَّضَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَكَى عَلَى قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ وَ كَانَ يُشَبِّبُ‏ بِنِسَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى آذَاهُمْ

And Ibn Al-Aseer and Al-Kazwiny said, intermingling their narration – ‘And during this year Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf from Tayy was killed, and his mother was from the clan of Al-Nazeyr and the killing of the ones from Quraysh killed at Badr was grievous upon him. He travelled to Makkah and instigated (people) against Rasool-Allah^-saww and cried over the ones killed at Badr, and he used to spin yarn with the Muslim women and prose poems until he hurt them.

فَلَمَّا عَادَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ لِي بِابْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ آذَى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ شَيْئاً قَالَ قُلْ

When he returned to Al-Medina, Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Who is for me^-saww with Ibn Al-Ashraf, for he has upset Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww?’ Muhammad Bin Maslama stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Would you^-saww love it if I were to kill him?’ He^-saww said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Then permit me to say something’. He^-saww said: ‘Say’.

فَاجْتَمَعَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ وَ سَلْكَانُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ وَ قَيْسٌ‏ وَ هُوَ أَبُو نَائِلَةَ وَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ وَ كَانَ أَخَا كَعْبٍ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَ أَبُو عَبْسِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا إِلَى ابْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ فَجَاءَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ‏ إِنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكَ لِحَاجَةٍ فَاكْتُمْهَا عَلَيَّ قَالَ افْعَلْ قَالَ كَانَ قُدُومُ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ بَلَاءً عَادَتْنَا الْعَرَبُ وَ انْقَطَعَ عَنَّا السَّبِيلُ حَتَّى ضَاعَ عَنَّا الْعِيَالُ وَ جَهَدَتِ الْأَنْفُسُ‏

Muhammad Bin Maslama, and Salkan Bin Salama, and Qays, and he is Abu Naila, and Al-Haris Bin Aws, and he was a brother of Ka’ab from the breast-feeding, and Abu Absi Bin Jubeyr got together and proceeded to Ibn Al-Ashraf. Muhammad Bin Maslan went on to discuss with him, then said, ‘O Ibn Al-Ashraf! I have come to you for a need, but conceal it upon me’. He said, ‘I shall do so’. He said, ‘The advent of this man (Rasool-Allah^-saww) is a calamity. He^-saww has made the Arabs inimical to us, and cut off the means from us until the dependants are lost from us, and has fought the people’.

فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهَذَا قَالَ أَبُو نَائِلَةَ وَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبِيعَنَا طَعَاماً وَ نَرْهَنَكَ وَ نُوثِقَ لَكَ أَ تُحْسِنُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ارْهَنُونِي نِسَاءَكُمْ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَرْهَنُكَ نِسَاءَنَا وَ أَنْتَ أَجْمَلُ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَارْهَنُونِي أَبْنَاءَكُمْ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَرْهَنُكَ أَبْنَاءَنَا فَيُسَبُّ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيُقَالُ رَهْنٌ بِوَسْقٍ أَوْ وَسْقَيْنِ هَذَا عَارٌ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَكِنَّا نَرْهَنُكَ اللَّأْمَةَ يَعْنِي السِّلَاحَ وَ أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُنْكِرَ السِّلَاحَ إِذَا أَتَوْهُ بِهِ

Ka’ab said, ‘I did inform you of this’. Abu Naila said, ‘And I want you to sell us some food and pledge to you. Are you good with that?’ He said, ‘Yes, pledge your womenfolk with me’. They said, ‘How can we pledge your women to you and you are the most handsome of the Arabs?’ He said, ‘Then pledge your sons with me’. They said, ‘How can we pledge our sons, and one of them is reviled and it would be said, ‘He is pledged with one load, or two loads’, and this would be shameful upon us. But we shall pledge the tools with you, meaning the weapons’, and he intended with that that he would not refuse the weapons when they came to him with it.

فَوَاعَدَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ فَأَتَى أَصْحَابَهُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ فَأَخَذَ السِّلَاحَ وَ سَارُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ تَبِعَهُمُ‏ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ وَ دَعَا لَهُمْ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ هَتَفَ بِهِ أَبُو نَائِلَةَ وَ كَانَ كَعْبٌ قَرِيبَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ فَوَثَبَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَيْنَ تَخْرُجُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ أَسْمَعُ صَوْتاً كَأَنَّهُ يَقْطُرُ مِنْهُ الدَّمُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَخِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ وَ رَضِيعِي أَبُو نَائِلَةَ إِنَّ الْكَرِيمَ إِذَا دُعِيَ إِلَى طَعْنَةٍ بِلَيْلٍ لَأَجَابَ

He bade farewell, saying that he would come to him. His companion came and informed him, and he took the weapons, and they came to him, and the Prophet^-saww pursued them to the spot of Al-Garqad and called for them. When they ended up at the fort, Abu Naila notified him, and Ka’ab was close to a marriage pact. His wife said to him, ‘Where are you going out to at this time? I am hearing a voice as if the blood is dripping from him’. He said, ‘But rather he is my brother Muhammad Bin Maslama, and my brother by breast-feeding Abu Naila. The honourable one is when he is called to an insult at night, he answers’.

فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ تَحَدَّثَ مَعَهُمْ سَاعَةً وَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ إِلَى شِعْبِ الْعَجُوزِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا نَائِلَةَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ رِيحاً أَطْيَبَ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَشَمَّ رَأْسَكَ قَالَ فَشَمَّهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرَاراً فَلَمَّا اسْتَمْكَنَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَ قَالَ اضْرِبُوا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْيَافُهُمْ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئاً

He descended to them and discussed with them for a while, and they came with him to a path of an old man, then Abu Naila said, ‘I have not felt a more aromatic smell than today. Will you allow me to smell your head?’ He said, ‘Smell it’. He did it repeatedly. When he calmed down from him, he grabbed his head and said, ‘Strike the enemy of Allah^-azwj!’ But their swords stayed behind upon it and did not avail anything.

قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَدْ كُنْتُ مَشْغُولًا فَأَخَذْتُهُ وَ قَدْ صَاحَ‏ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ صَيْحَةً لَمْ يَبْقَ حَوْلَنَا حِصْنٌ إِلَّا أُوقِدَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَارٌ فَتَحَامَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَتَلْتُهُ وَ قَدْ أَصَابَ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ بَعْضُ أَسْيَافِنَا فَاحْتَمَلْنَاهُ وَ جِئْنَا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِقَتْلِ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ فَتَفَلَ عَلَى جُرْحِ صَاحِبِنَا وَ عُدْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِنَا

Muhammad Bin Maslama said, ‘I was preoccupied, and I seized him, and the enemy of Allah^-azwj shrieked with a shriek; there did not remain any fort around us except I ignited a fire upon it. I loaded it upon him and killed him, and Al-Haris Bin Aws had attained our sword, so we carried him and we came with him to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him of the killing of the enemy of Allah^-azwj. He^-saww applied saliva upon the injury of our companions (their wounds healed), and we returned to our families.

فَأَصْبَحْنَا وَ قَدْ خَافَتِ الْيَهُودُ فَلَيْسَ بِهَا يَهُودِيٌّ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ ظَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ رِجَالِ يَهُودَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَوَثَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى ابْنِ سُنَيْنَةَ الْيَهُودِيِ‏ وَ هُوَ مِنْ تُجَّارِ الْيَهُودِ فَقَتَلَهُ‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَخُوهُ خويصة حُوَيَّصَةُ وَ هُوَ مُشْرِكٌ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ قَتَلْتَهُ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَرُبَّ شَحْمٍ فِي بَطْنِكَ مِنْ مَالِهِ‏

We woke up in the morning, and the Jews were scared, and there weren’t any Jews except he was scared of himself. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘One you capture from the Jewish men, kill him’. Muhaysat Bin Masoud leapt upon Ibn Sunayna the Jew, and he was from the Jewish traders, and killed him. His brother Khuweysa Huweysa said to him, and he was a Polytheist, ‘O enemy of Allah^-azwj! You killed him, but by Allah^-azwj, the fat of your belly has been nourished from his wealth’.

فَقَالَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لَوْ أَمَرَنِي بِقَتْلِكَ مَنْ أَمَرَنِي بِقَتْلِهِ لَقَتَلْتُكَ قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَأَوَّلِ إِسْلَامِ خويصة حُوَيَّصَةُ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ عَبَسُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ وَ كَانَ قَتْلُ كَعْبٍ لِأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً مَضَتْ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ تَزَوَّجَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَنَى بِهَا فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ

Muheysa said, ‘If the one who had ordered me to kill him were to order you to kill him, I will kill you’. The first one to become Muslim was Khuweysa Huweysa. Then Isa Bin Jubeyr became a Muslim, and he had killed Ka’ab on the fourteenth night past from Rabbi Al-Awwal; and during this month Usman Bin Affan got married to Umm Kulsoom daughter of Rasool-Allah^-saww, and was with her during Jumadi Al-Akhira’’.[7] (Non-Shia source)

8- وَ قَالَ الْكَازِرُونِيُ‏ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ فِي شَعْبَانَ وَ كَانَتْ قَبْلَهُ تَحْتَ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَاقَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَ فِيهَا تَزَوَّجَ ص زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ خُزَيْمَةَ وَ كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أُمَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَطَلَّقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا أَخُوهُ عُبَيْدَةُ فَقُتِلَ عَنْهَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ شَهِيداً ‏

And Al-Kazwiny said, ‘And during this year Rasool-Allah^-saww married Hafsa Bint Umar during Shaban, and before him^-saww she was under (married to) Khunays Bin Al-Sahmy during the Pre-Islamic period. He had died from her; and during it he^-saww married Zainab Bint Khuzayma, and she had been named during the Pre-Islamic period as ‘Mother of the Poor’, and she was with Al-Tufayl Bin Al-Haris Bin Al-Muttalib. He divorced her, and his brother Ubeyda married her, and he was killed on the day of Badr as a martyr.

فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَ أَصْدَقَهَا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَ نَشّاً فَمَكَثَتْ عِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww married her during the Month of Ramazan of this year and dowered her with twelve ounces (gold), and she remained with him^-saww for eighteen months and died; and during this year (Rasool-Allah^-saww was) Blessed with Al-Hassan^-asws  Bin Ali^-asws in the middle of the Month of Ramazan’’.[8] (Non-Shia source)

9- قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ وَ فِيهَا كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ الْقَرَدَةِ وَ فِيهَا فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ قُتِلَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ سَلَّامُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَ كَانَ يُظَاهِرُ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ ابْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ فَكَانَ قَتْلُهُ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ قَالَتِ الْخَزْرَجُ وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَا يَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا عَلَيْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Ibn Al Aseer said, ‘And during it was the military expedition of Al-Qarada, and in it during Jumadi Al-Akhira Abu Rafie killed Sallam Bin Abu Al-Huqayq the Jew, and he used to back Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf against Rasool-Allah^-saww. When Ibn Al-Ashraf was killed, his killing was from Al-Aws, Al-Khazraj said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! You will not be going with him (priding) against us in the presence of Rasool-Allah^-saww!’

فَتَذَاكَرَ الْخَزْرَجُ مَنْ يُعَادِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَابْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ فَذَكَرُوا ابْنَ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ وَ هُوَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي قَتْلِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ وَ مَسْعُودُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ وَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ وَ خُزَاعِيُّ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ حَلِيفٌ لَهُمْ وَ أَمَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ

Al-Khazraj mentioned, ‘Who has been inimical to Rasool-Allah^-saww like Ibn Al-Ashraf?’ They mentioned Ibn Abu Al-Huqayq, and he was at Khyber. They sought permission of Rasool-Allah^-saww for killing him, and he^-saww permitted for them. So, there went out to him from Al-Khazraj, Abdullah Bin Atiyak, and Masoud Bin Sinan, and Abdullah Bin Unays, and Abu Qatadah, and Khuzaie Bin Al-Aswad an ally of theirs, and the commander upon them was Abdulla Bin Atiyak.

فَخَرَجُوا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا خَيْبَرَ فَأَتَوْا دَارَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ لَيْلًا فَلَمْ يَدَعُوا بَاباً فِي الدَّارِ إِلَّا أَغْلَقُوهُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ كَانَ فِي عِلِّيَّةٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوا عَلَيْهِ فَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ قَالُوا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ نَلْتَمِسُ الْمِيرَةَ قَالَ‏ قَالَتْ ذَاكَ صَاحِبُكُمْ فَادْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا أَغْلَقُوا بَابَ الْعِلِّيَّةِ وَ بَدَرُوهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَصَاحَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ يُرِيدُ قَتْلَهَا فَيَذْكُرُ نَهْيَ النَّبِيِّ ص إِيَّاهُمْ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَ الصِّبْيَانِ فَيَكُفُّ عَنْهَا

They went out until they arrived at Khyber and came to the house of Abu Rafie at night. They did not leave out any door among the houses except they locked it upon its people, and it was a one-storey house. They knocked and his wife came out and said, ‘Who are you?’ They said, ‘From the Arabs, we are seeking Al-Meyra’. She said, ‘That is your companions’. They entered to him. When they entered, they locked the door of the house and pushed him down upon his bed. The wife shrieked and the man from them went intending to kill her, but then remembered that the Prophet^-saww had forbidden them from killing the women and the children, so he refrained from her.

فَضَرَبُوهُ بِأَسْيَافِهِمْ وَ تَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي بَطْنِهِ حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ سَيِّئَ الْبَصَرِ فَوَقَعَ مِنَ الدَّرَجَةِ فَوَثَبَتْ رِجْلُهُ وَثْباً شَدِيداً وَ احْتَمَلُوهُ وَ رَجَعُوا وَ طَلَبَتْهُمُ الْيَهُودُ فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ فَلَمْ يَرَوْهُمْ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِمْ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ كَيْفَ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ مَاتَ فَعَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ دَخَلَ فِي النَّاسِ فَرَآهُ وَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ عَتِيكٍ ثُمَّ صَاحَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ قَالَتْ مَاتَ وَ اللَّهِ

They struck him with their swords, and Abdullah Bin Unays attacked upon him with his sword in his belly until he pierced it. Then they went out from him, and Abdullah Bin Atiyak was of poor vision, and he fell down from the step and sprained his leg with severe pain, and they carried him and returned; and the Jews sought them in every direction but did not see them, and they returned to their companion. The Muslims said, ‘How do we know that the enemy of Allah^-azwj has died?’ One of them returned and entered among the people and saw him, and the people were around him, and he was saying, ‘I have recognised the voice of Ibn Atiyak’. Then his wife shrieked and said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, he is dead!’

قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ كَلِمَةً أَلَذَّ إِلَى نَفْسِي مِنْهَا ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ وَ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ النَّاعِي يَقُولُ أَنْعَى أَبَا رَافِعٍ تَاجِرَ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ وَ سَارُوا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي قَتْلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَاتُوا أَسْيَافَكُمْ فَجَاءُوا بِهَا فَنَظَرَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَسَيْفُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ هَذَا قَتَلَهُ أَرَى‏ أَثَرَ الطَّعَامِ‏

He said, ‘I have not heard any word more pleasurable than it’. Then he returned to his companions and informed them with the news, and he heard the voice of the herald saying, ‘I give the news of death of Abu Rafie, trader of the people of Hijaz!’ And they travelled until they arrive to the Prophet^-saww and they differed regarding his killing. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Give me^-saww your swords’. They came with these. He^-saww looked at them and said: ‘For the sword of Abdullah Bin Unays, this killed him. I^-saww see traces of the food (blood)’’.[9] (Non Shia source)

 

 

باب 12 غزوة أحد و غزوة حمراء الأسد

CHAPTER 12 – BATTLE OF OHAD AND MILITARY EXPEDITION OF HAMRA’A AL-ASAD

الآيات آل عمران‏ وَ إِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقاعِدَ لِلْقِتالِ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

The Verses – (Surah) Aal-e-Imran: And when you went forth early in the morning from your family to assign the Momineen their positions for the fighting; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:121]

إِذْ هَمَّتْ طائِفَتانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلا وَ اللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُما وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

When two groups from you had shown cowardice, and Allah was the Guardian of them both, and upon Allah let the Momineen rely [3:122]

وَ لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

And Allah Helped you at Badr when you were humble, therefore be fearing Allah, perhaps you may be grateful [3:123]

إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ لَنْ يَكْفِيَكُمْ أَنْ يُمِدَّكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُنْزَلِينَ

When you were saying to the Momineen: Does it not suffice you that your Lord would Assist you with three thousand of the Angels Sent down? [3:124]

بَلى‏ إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَ تَتَّقُوا وَ يَأْتُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هذا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلافٍ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ

Yes! if you remain patient and are fearing, and they (enemies) come upon you suddenly, your Lord will assist you with five thousand of the havoc-causing Angels [3:125]

وَ ما جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشْرى‏ لَكُمْ وَ لِتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُمْ بِهِ وَ مَا النَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ

And Allah did not Make it except as glad tidings for you, and for easing your hearts with it, and the victory is not, except from the Presence of Allah, the Mighty, the Wise [3:126]

لِيَقْطَعَ طَرَفاً مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ فَيَنْقَلِبُوا خائِبِينَ

in order to cut off a party from those who are committing Kufr or suppress them, and they would be returning disappointed  [3:127]

لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظالِمُونَ‏

There isn’t anything for you from the matter, whether He Turns to them or Punishes them, for they are the unjust [3:128]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ لا تَهِنُوا وَ لا تَحْزَنُوا وَ أَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And the Exalted Said: Neither be weak nor be grieving, and you would be uppermost if you were Momineen [3:139]

إِنْ يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِثْلُهُ وَ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُداوِلُها بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَ لِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ يَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ شُهَداءَ وَ اللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ

If an injury touched you (at Ohad), so an injury like it has also touched the group (of Kafirs); and We Alternate these days between the people, and for Allah to Know those who believe and take martyrs from you; and Allah does not love the unjust [3:140]

وَ لِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ يَمْحَقَ الْكافِرِينَ

And for Allah to Examine those who are believing and Obliterate the Kafirs [3:141]

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ جاهَدُوا مِنْكُمْ وَ يَعْلَمَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Do you reckon that you would be entering Paradise when Allah has not yet (Made) Known those who strive hard from among you, and (Made) Known the patient ones? [3:142]

وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلْقَوْهُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ

And you were desiring the death before you met it, so you have seen it and you were looking on [3:143]

وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى‏ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى‏ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ ‏

And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; so if he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And the one who turns back upon his heels, he will never harm Allah of anything and Allah would be Recompensing the grateful [3:144]

وَ ما كانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَنْ تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ كِتاباً مُؤَجَّلًا وَ مَنْ يُرِدْ ثَوابَ الدُّنْيا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْها وَ مَنْ يُرِدْ ثَوابَ الْآخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِ مِنْها وَ سَنَجْزِي الشَّاكِرِينَ

And it was not for a soul that it should be dying except by the Permission of Allah, being an Ordained term; and the one who wants Rewards of the world, We shall Give him from it, and the one who wants Rewards of the Hereafter, We shall Give him from it, and We will be Rewarding the grateful [3:145]

وَ كَأَيِّنْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ قاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَما وَهَنُوا لِما أَصابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ ما ضَعُفُوا وَ مَا اسْتَكانُوا وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ

And how many a Prophet has fought with whom were many battalions; so they did not languish due to what befell them in the Way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor did they give up; and Allah Loves the patient [3:146]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خاسِرِينَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: O you who believe! If you obey those who are committing Kufr they will return you back upon your heels, so you would be turning back as losers [3:149]

بَلِ اللَّهُ مَوْلاكُمْ وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاصِرِينَ

But, Allah is your Guardian and He is the best of the helpers [3:150]

سَنُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ بِما أَشْرَكُوا بِاللَّهِ ما لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطاناً وَ مَأْواهُمُ النَّارُ وَ بِئْسَ مَثْوَى الظَّالِمِينَ

We will be Casting awe into the hearts of those who are committing Kufr, due to their associating with Allah what He did not Send down any authorisation for, and their abode is the Fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust [3:151]

وَ لَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ حَتَّى إِذا فَشِلْتُمْ وَ تَنازَعْتُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَ عَصَيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما أَراكُمْ ما تُحِبُّونَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيا وَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ وَ لَقَدْ عَفا عَنْكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And certainly Allah Made His promise to be true when you almost annihilated them by His Permission, until when you became weak-hearted and disputed regarding the matter and disobeyed from after Him having Shown you that which you were coveting (booty); from you was one who wanted the world and from you was one who desired the Hereafter; then He Turned you away from them to Try you; and He has Pardoned you, and Allah is Gracious to the Momineen [3:152]

إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَ لا تَلْوُونَ عَلى‏ أَحَدٍ وَ الرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ فِي أُخْراكُمْ فَأَثابَكُمْ غَمًّا بِغَمٍّ لِكَيْلا تَحْزَنُوا عَلى‏ ما فاتَكُمْ وَ لا ما أَصابَكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ

When you were ascending (the mount Ohad) and were not even glancing at any one, and the Rasool kept calling you among your last ones. So He Gave you sorrow with a sorrow lest you would be grieving upon what you lost and not what befell you; and Allah is well-Informed with what you are doing [3:153]

ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ أَمَنَةً نُعاساً يَغْشى‏ طائِفَةً مِنْكُمْ وَ طائِفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ لَنا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ يُخْفُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ ما لا يُبْدُونَ لَكَ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كانَ لَنا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ ما قُتِلْنا هاهُنا قُلْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلى‏ مَضاجِعِهِمْ وَ لِيَبْتَلِيَ اللَّهُ ما فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَ لِيُمَحِّصَ ما فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Then He Sent down upon you after the sorrow, (a sense of) security, a lethargy enveloping a party from you, and a group had worried themselves thinking ignorant thoughts with Allah without right. They are saying, ‘Is there anything for us from the matter?’ Say: The matter, all of it is for Allah’.  They are concealing within themselves what they are not manifesting to you. They are saying, ‘If there was something for us from the matter, we would not have been killed over here’. Say: ‘Had you remained in your houses, those upon whom being killed was Ordained would have gone forth to their spots of death, and for Allah to Test what is in your chests and for Him to Purge what is in your hearts; and Allah Knows the contents of the chests’ [3:154]

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعانِ إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ بِبَعْضِ ما كَسَبُوا وَ لَقَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ

(As for) those of you who turned back on the day when the two armies met, but rather the Satan caused them to lose heart (and flee) due to something what they had earned, and Allah has Pardoned them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing [3:155]

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ قالُوا لِإِخْوانِهِمْ إِذا ضَرَبُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَوْ كانُوا غُزًّى لَوْ كانُوا عِنْدَنا ما ماتُوا وَ ما قُتِلُوا لِيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ ذلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ اللَّهُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

O you who believe! Do not become like those who are committing Kufr and are saying to the brethren whenever they travel in the land (for trade) or were in a military expedition, ‘If only they were with us, they would not have died and would not have been killed’, so Allah Caused that to be a regret in their hearts; and Allah Causes to live and die and Allah Sees what you are doing [3:156]

وَ لَئِنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ رَحْمَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

And whether you are slain in the Way of Allah or you die, Forgiveness from Allah and Mercy is better than what they are amassing [3:157]

وَ لَئِنْ مُتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ‏

And whether you die or you are killed, it is to Allah you shall be Gathered [3:158]

فَبِما رَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ وَ لَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَ شاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ فَإِذا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ

Thus it is due to Mercy from Allah you are being lenient to them. And had you been rough, hard-hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you. Therefore, excuse them and seek Forgiveness for them, and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then rely upon Allah, Allah Loves the relying ones [3:159]

إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلا غالِبَ لَكُمْ وَ إِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

If Allah Helps you, then there is none that can overcome you, and if He Forsakes you, who is there then that can help you from after Him? And upon Allah the Momineen should be relying [3:160]

وَ ما كانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ وَ مَنْ يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِما غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لا يُظْلَمُونَ

And it was not for a Prophet that he should embezzle; and the one who embezzles will bring what he had embezzled with him on the Day of Judgement; then shall every soul be Paid back fully what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly [3:161]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ أَ وَ لَمَّا أَصابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَيْها قُلْتُمْ أَنَّى هذا قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: Or, when a difficulty befell you, although you had afflicted (the Kafirs) with twice as much, you said: ‘From where is this?’ Say: ‘It is from yourselves’; surely Allah is Able upon all things [3:165]

وَ ما أَصابَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعانِ فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لِيَعْلَمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And what befell you on the day when the two armies met (at Ohad) was with Allah’s Permission, and that He would Make known the Momineen [3:166]

وَ لِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ نافَقُوا وَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعالَوْا قاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوِ ادْفَعُوا قالُوا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ قِتالًا لَاتَّبَعْناكُمْ هُمْ لِلْكُفْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنْهُمْ لِلْإِيمانِ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفْواهِهِمْ ما لَيْسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِما يَكْتُمُونَ

And that He might Make known those who are hypocrites; and it was said to them: ‘Come, fight in in the Way of Allah, or defend yourselves’. They said: If we knew fighting, we would have followed you’. They were on that day much closer to Kufr than the Eman. They are saying with their mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allah best Knows what they are concealing [3:167]

الَّذِينَ قالُوا لِإِخْوانِهِمْ وَ قَعَدُوا لَوْ أَطاعُونا ما قُتِلُوا قُلْ فَادْرَؤُا عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ

Those who said of their brethren whilst they sat (not fighting): ‘Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed’. Say: ‘Then stave off death from yourselves if you are truthful’ [3:168]

وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً بَلْ أَحْياءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ

And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169]

فَرِحِينَ بِما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Rejoicing in what Allah has Given them from His Grace and they are receiving glad tidings of those whom have yet to join them from the ones they left behind. There would neither be fear upon them nor would they be grieving [3:170]

يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

They would be receiving glad tidings of the Bounties from Allah and Grace, and that Allah will not waste the Recompense of the Momineen [3:171]

الَّذِينَ اسْتَجابُوا لِلَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما أَصابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا مِنْهُمْ وَ اتَّقَوْا أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

Those who responded to Allah and the Rasool (at Ohad) after the wound had befallen them, for those of them who are doing good (to others) and are pious shall be a great Recompense [3:172]

الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

Those to whom the people said: ‘Surely the people have gathered against you, therefore fear them’; but this increased them in Eman, and they said: ‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173]

فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَ اتَّبَعُوا رِضْوانَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ

So they returned with a Favour from Allah and (His) Grace. No evil touched them and they pursued the Pleasure of Allah; and Allah is the Lord of Mighty Grace [3:174]

إِنَّما ذلِكُمُ الشَّيْطانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِياءَهُ فَلا تَخافُوهُمْ وَ خافُونِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

But rather that is the Satan. He Instils fear in his friends, so do not fear them and fear Me if you were Momineen [3:174]

وَ لا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَضُرُّوا اللَّهَ شَيْئاً يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَلَّا يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ حَظًّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ عَظِيمٌ‏

And do not let them grieve you, those who are hastening into Kufr; they will never (be able to) to cause any harm to Allah. Allah Intends that He should not Make a share to be for them in the Hereafter, and for them would be a grievous Punishment [3:176]

النساء فَما لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَ اللَّهُ أَرْكَسَهُمْ بِما كَسَبُوا أَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَهْدُوا مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبِيلًا

(Surah) Al Nisaa: So what is the matter with you being (divided into) two groups regarding the hypocrites, and Allah Returned them (to Kufr) due to what they earned? Are you intending to guide the one whom Allah has Let to stray? And the one Allah Lets to stray, so you will never find a way being there for him [4:88]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ لا تَهِنُوا فِي ابْتِغاءِ الْقَوْمِ إِنْ تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَما تَأْلَمُونَ وَ تَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ما لا يَرْجُونَ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً

And the Exalted Said: And do not slacken in pursuing the people (enemy); if you are in pain, so they are (also) in pain just as you are in pain; and you are hoping from Allah what they are not hoping for; and Allah was always most-Knowing, Wise [4:104]

الأنفال‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنْفِقُونَها ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ

(Surah) Al Anfaal: Surely, those who are committing Kufr are spending their wealth in order to hinder from the Way of Allah. So they will be spending it, then it would become a regret upon them, then they would be overcome. [8:36]

Notes –

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ ص كَانَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ قَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And it is reported that he^-saww was wiping the blood from his^-saww face and saying: ‘O Allah^-azwj, Guide my^-saww people, for they don’t know!’

: لَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَا فُعِلَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ وَ بِعَمِّهِ حَمْزَةَ مِنَ الْمُثْلَةِ مِنْ جَدْعِ الْأُنُوفِ وَ الْأُذُنِ وَ قَطْعِ الْمَذَاكِيرِ قَالَ‏ لَئِنْ أَدَالَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ لَنَفْعَلَنَّ بِهِمْ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلُوا وَ لَنُمَثِّلَنَّ بِهِمْ مُثْلَةً لَمْ يُمَثِّلْهُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ بِأَحَدٍ قَطُّ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww (and the believers) saw what was done with his^-saww companions and with his^-saww uncle Hamza^-ra, of the trampling, cutting off of the noses and the ears, and cutting the male private parts, (they said), ‘If Allah^-azwj Grants us victory over them, we shall certainly do to them as they have done, and we shall mutilate them in a manner in which no Arab has ever mutilated anyone at all!’

قِيلَ‏ لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي الشِّعْبِ وَ أَقْبَلَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بِخَيْلِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْلُوَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَا يَعْلُنَّ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ لَا قُوَّةَ لَنَا إِلَّا بِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا يَعْبُدُكَ بِهَذِهِ البَلْدَةِ إِلَّا هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرُ

It was said, ‘When the Muslims were defeated in the mountain pass, and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed came with a cavalry of the Polytheists wanting to ascend the mountain above them, the Prophet^-saww said: ‘They must not be higher upon us! O Allah^-azwj! There is no strength for us except through You^-azwj. O Allah^-azwj! No one is worshipping You^-azwj in this land except this (small number of) persons!’

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ وَ ثَابَ نَفَرٌ رُمَاةٌ وَ صَعِدُوا الْجَبَلَ وَ رَمَوْا خَيْلَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى هَزَمُوهُمْ وَ عَلَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْجَبَلَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ أَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ‏ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

Allah^-azwj Revealed the Verse, and a group of archers returned, climbed the mountain, and shot arrows at the cavalry of the polytheists until they drove them back. The Muslims then gained the higher ground on the mountain – from Ibn Abbas.

و قال أنس بن مالك‏ أتي رسول الله ص بعلي عليه السلام يومئذ و عليه‏ نيّف و ستون جراحة من طعنة و ضربة و رمية فجعل رسول الله ص يمسحها و هي تلتئم بإذن الله تعالى كأن لم تكن

And Anas Bin Malik said, ‘Ali^-asws was brought to Rasool-Allah^-saww that day with more than sixty wounds upon him^-asws, from spear thrusts, sword blows, and projectiles. Rasool-Allah^-saww began passing his^-saww hand over them, and they healed by the permission of Allah^-azwj, the Exalted, as though they had never been there’.

وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ صَعِدَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا فَمَكَثَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ سَاعَةً وَ قَالَ يَوماً بِيَوْمٍ إِنَ الْأَيَّامَ دُوَلٌ وَ إِنَّ الْحَرْبَ سِجَالٌ‏ فَقَالَ ص أَجِيبُوهُ فَقَالُوا لَا سَوَاءٌ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ

And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When it was the day of Ohad, Abu Sufyan ascended the mountain. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-saww! They must not gain the higher ground over us!’ Abu Sufyan remained there for a while and then said, ‘A day, for a day. Indeed, days alternate in fortune, and war is fought by turns!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Answer him!’ They said: They are not equal. Our slain are in Paradise, while your slain are in the Fire!’

فَقَالَ‏ لَنَا عُزَّى وَ لَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ‏

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ اللَّهُ مَوْلَانَا وَ لَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ‏

فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ

Then he said, ‘We have Al-Uzza, while you have no Uzza! The Prophet^-saww replied: ‘Allah^-azwj is our Master and Protector, while you have no master or protector!’ Abu Sufyan then said, ‘Exalted be Hubal!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww replied: ‘Allah^-azwj is Higher and more Majestic!’

وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ‏- قال أهل التفسير سبب نزول هذه الآية أنه‏ لما أرجف بأن النبي ص قتل يوم أحد و أشيع ذلك قال الناس لو كان نبيا لما قتل و قال آخرون نقاتل على ما قاتل عليه حتى نلحق به

And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool [3:144] – The commentators of the Quran said, ‘The reason for the revelation of this Verse was that when the rumour spread that the Prophet^-saww had been a prophet^-saww, he^-saww would not have been killed!’ Others said, ‘We shall fight for what he^-saww fought for until we join him^-saww’.

و ارتد بعضهم و انهزم بعضهم و كان سبب انهزامهم و تضعضعهم إخلال الرماة لمكانهم من الشعب و كان رسول الله ص نهاهم عن الإخلال به و أمر عبد الله بن جبير و هو أخو خوات بن جبير على الرماة و هم خمسون رجلا و قال لا تبرحوا مكانكم فإنا لن نزال غالبين ما ثبتم بمكانكم

Some of them turned back from the faith, while others fled. The reason for their defeat and loss of resolve was that the archers abandoned their position at the mountain pass. Rasool-Allah^-saww had forbidden them from leaving it and had appointed Abdullah Bin Jubayr, the brother of Khawwat Bin Jubayr, over the archers, who numbered fifty men. He^-saww said: ‘Do not leave your position, for we shall continue to be victorious so long as you remain firmly in your place!’

و جاءت قريش على ميمنتهم خالد بن الوليد و على ميسرتهم عكرمة بن أبي جهل و معهم النساء يضربن بالدفوف و ينشدون الأشعار فقالت هند.

نحن بنات طارق		نمشي على النمارق
إن تقبلوا نعانق		أو تدبروا نفارق
فراق غير وامق

And Quraysh came with Khalid Bin Al-Walid commanding their right flank and Ikrimah Bin Abu Jahl commanding their left flank. With them were women beating tambourines and reciting verses of poetry. Hind then said (a poem), ‘We are the daughters of Tariq, walking upon cushions. If you advance, we shall embrace you; but if you turn back, we shall leave you, a parting without affection’.

و كان أبو عامر عبد عمرو بن الصيفي أول من لقيهم بالأحابيش و عبيد أهل مكة فقاتلهم قتالا شديدا و حميت الحرب.: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِهَذَا السَّيْفِ‏ بِحَقِّهِ وَ يَضْرِبُ بِهِ الْعَبِيدَ حَتَّى يَنْحَنِيَ

Abu Amir Abd Amr Bin Al-Sayfi was the first to encounter them, together with the Ahabeesh and the slaves of the people of Makkah. He fought them fiercely, and the battle became intense. Rasool-Allah^-saww then said: ‘Who will take this sword and fulfil its right, striking the slaves with it until it bends?’

فَأَخَذَهُ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَ السَّيْفَ اعْتَمَّ بِعِمَامَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَ جَعَلَ يَفْتَخِرُ وَ يَقُولُ‏

أَنَا الَّذِي عَاهَدَنِي خَلِيلِي‏

أَنْ لَا أُقِيمَ الدَّهْرَ فِي الْكُبُولِ أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِ اللَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ‏

Abu Dujanah Simak Bin Kharashah Al-Ansari took it. When he took the sword. He wrapped a red turban around his head and began strutting proudly, saying, ‘I am the one whose beloved companion made a covenant with me, that I should never remain throughout time among the rear ranks. I strike with the sword of Allah^-azwj and the Messenger^-saww!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّهَا لَمِشْيَةٌ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِلَّا فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ‏ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَهَزَمُوهُمْ وَ قَتَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَصْحَابَ اللِّوَاءِ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ نُصْرَتَهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Indeed, this is a manner of walking which Allah^-azwj the Exalted, Dislikes, except in a situation such as this’. Then the Prophet^-saww and his companions charged against the Polytheists and defeated them. Ali Bin Abi Talib^-asws killed the bearers of the standard, and Allah^-azwj Sent down His^-azwj Support upon the Muslims.

قال الزبير فرأيت هندا و صواحبها هاربات مصعدات في الجبال نادية خدامهن ما دون أخذهن شي‏ء

Al-Zubayr said, ‘I saw Hind and her female companions fleeing, climbing up into the mountains, with their anklets exposed. Nothing stood between us and capturing them’.

فلما نظرت الرماة إلى القوم قد انكشفوا و رأوا النبي ص و أصحابه ينتهبون الغنيمة أقبلوا يريدون النهب و اختلفوا فقال بعضهم لا نترك أمر رسول الله ص‏ و قال بعضهم ما بقي من الأمر شي‏ء ثم انطلقوا عامتهم و ألحقوا بالعسكر

When the archers saw that the enemy had been routed, and saw the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww companions taking the spoils of war, they came down intending to take from the booty. They disagreed among themselves. Some of them said: ‘We must not abandon the command of Rasool-Allah^-saww’. Others said, ‘There is nothing more to be done!’ Then most of them departed and joined the army.

فلما رأى خالد بن الوليد قلة الرماة و اشتغال المسلمين بالغنيمة و رأى ظهورهم خالية صاح في خيله من المشركين و حمل على أصحاب النبي ص من خلفهم فهزموهم و قتلوهم

When Khalid Bin Al-Walid saw that only a few archers remained, that the Muslims were occupied with the spoils, and that their rear was left exposed, he called out to his cavalry from among the polytheists and attacked the companions of the Prophet^-saww from behind. They routed them and killed them.

و رمى عبد الله بن قَمِيئَةَ الحارثي رسول الله ص بحجر فكسر أنفه و رباعيته و شجه في وجهه فأثقله و تفرق عنه أصحابه و أقبل يريد قتله فذب مصعب بن عمير و هو صاحب راية رسول الله ص يوم بدر و يوم أحد

Abdullah Bin Qami’ah Al-Harithi struck Rasool-Allah^-saww with a stone, breaking his nose and one of his front teeth, and wounding his face. The injury weighed heavily upon him, and his companions scattered away from him. Abdullah Bin Qami’ah advanced intending to kill him, but Mus’ab Bin Umayr defended Rasool-Allah^-saww. Mus’ab was the bearer of the standard of Rasool-Allah^-saww on the Day of Badr and the Day of Uhud.

و كان اسم رايته العقاب عن رسول الله ص حتى قتل مصعب بن عمير قتله ابن قَمِيئَةَ فرجع و هو يرى أنه قتل رسول الله ص و قال إني قتلت محمدا

And the standard was called Al-Uqab. Mus’ab Bin Umayr continued defending Rasool-Allah^-saww until he was killed. Bin Qami’ah killed him and then withdrew, believing that he had killed Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he said, ‘I have killed Muhammad!’

و صاح صائح ألا إن محمدا قد قتل و يقال إن الصائح كان إبليس لعنه الله فانكفأ الناس‏ و جعل رسول الله ص يدعو الناس و يقول إلي عباد الله إلي عباد الله فاجتمع إليه ثلاثون رجلا فحموه حتى كشفوا عنه المشركين

A caller then cried out, ‘Indeed, Muhammad^-saww has been killed!’ It is said that the one who cried out was Iblees^-la. The people then turned back, scattered, and fled. Rasool-Allah^-saww began calling the people, saying: ‘To me, O servants of Allah^-azwj! To me, O servants of Allah^-azwj!’ Thirty men gathered around him^-saww and protected him^-saww until they drove the Polytheists away from him.

و رمى سعد بن أبي وقاص حتى اندقت سية قوسه و أصيبت يد طلحة بن عبيد الله فيبست و أصيبت عين قَتَادَةَ بن النعمان يومئذ حتى وقعت على وجنته فردها رسول الله ص مكانها فعادت كأحسن ما كانت

Sa’d Bin Abi Waqqas continued shooting arrows until the curved end of his bow broke. Talhah Bin Ubayd Allah was struck in the hand, and it became paralysed. On that day, the eye of Qatadah Bin Al Nu’man was struck so severely that it fell onto his cheek. Rasool-Allah^-saww restored it to its place, and it returned to being as sound and beautiful as it had ever been.

فلما انصرف رسول الله ص أدركه أبي بن خلف الجمحي و هو يقول لا نجوت إن نجوت فقال القوم يا رسول الله ألا يعطف عليه رجل منا فقال دعوه

When Rasool-Allah^-saww was withdrawing, Ubayy Bin Khalaf Al Jumahi caught up with him, saying, ‘May I not survive if you^-saww survive!’ The people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww, shall one of us turn against him?’ He^-saww said: ‘Leave him!’

حتى إذا دنا منه و كان أبي قبل ذلك يلقى رسول الله ص فيقول عندي رمكة أعلفها كل يوم فرق ذرة أقتلك عليها فقال رسول الله ص بل أنا أقتلك إن شاء الله تعالى

Until Ubayy drew near, and before this Ubayy used to meet Rasool-Allah^-saww and say, ‘I have a mare which I feed every day with a faraq measure of millet. I shall kill you while riding it!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww would say: ‘Rather, I^-saww shall kill you, Allah^-azwj Willing!’

فلما كان يوم أحد و دنا منه تناول رسول الله ص الحربة من الحرث بن الصمة ثم استقبله فطعنه في عنقه فخدش خدشة فتدهدأ عن فرسه و هو يخور خوار الثور و هو يقول قتلني محمد

When the Day of Uhud came and Ubayy drew near, Rasool-Allah^-saww took the spear from Al Harith Bin Al Simmah, faced him, and thrust it into his neck, causing a slight wound. Ubayy tumbled from his horse, bellowing like a bull and saying, ‘Muhammad^-saww has killed me!’

فاحتمله أصحابه و قالوا ليس عليك بأس فقال بلى لو كانت هذه الطعنة بربيعة و مضر لقتلتهم‏ أ ليس قال لي أقتلك فلو بزق علي بعد تلك المقالة لقتلني فلم يلبث إلا يوما حتى مات

His companions carried him away and said, ‘There is nothing seriously wrong with you’. He replied, ‘Indeed there is! Had this thrust been inflicted upon the tribes of Rabi’ah and Muzar, it would have killed them. Did he not say to me, ‘I shall kill you’? Had he^-saww merely spat upon me after making that statement, it would have killed me!’ He survived only one day until he died.

قال و فشا في الناس أن رسول الله ص قد قتل فقال بعض المسلمين ليت لنا رسولا إلى عبد الله بن أبي فيأخذ لنا أمانا من أبي سفيان و بعضهم جلسوا و ألقوا بأيديهم و قال أناس من أهل النفاق فالحقوا بدينكم الأول

The report then spread among the people that Rasool-Allah^-saww had been killed. Some of the Muslims said, ‘If only we had a messenger to Abdullah Bin Ubayy so that he could obtain for us a guarantee of safety from Abu Sufyan’. Others sat down and surrendered themselves. Some of the hypocrites said, ‘Return to your former religion’.

و قال أنس بن النضر عم أنس بن مالك يا قوم إن كان محمد قد قتل فإن رب محمد لم يقتل و ما تصنعون بالحياة بعد رسول الله ص فقاتلوا على ما قاتل عليه رسول الله و موتوا على ما مات عليه

Anas Bin Al-Nadr, the uncle of Anas Bin Malik, said, ‘O people! If Muhammad^-saww has been killed, then the Lord^-azwj of Muhammad^-saww has not been killed. What will you do with life after Rasool-Allah^-saww? Fight for that for which Rasool-Allah^-saww fought, and die for that for which he^-saww died!’

ثم قال اللهم إني أعتذر إليك مما يقوله هؤلاء يعني المنافقين‏ و أبرأ إليك مما جاء به هؤلاء يعني المنافقين ثم شد بسيفه فقاتل حتى قتل

Then he said, ‘O Allah^-azwj, I offer my excuse to You^-azwj concerning what these people are saying (meaning the hypocrites), and I disassociate myself before You^-azwj from what these people have brought!’ Then he charged with his sword and fought until he was killed.

ثم إن رسول الله ص انطلق إلى الصخرة و هو يدعو الناس فأول من عرف رسول الله ص كعب بن مالك قال عرفت عينيه تحت المغفر تزهران فناديت بأعلى صوتي يا معاشر المسلمين هذا رسول الله‏ فأشار إلي أن اسكت

Rasool-Allah^-saww then proceeded towards the rock while calling the people. The first person to recognise Rasool-Allah^-saww was Ka’b Bin Malik. He said, ‘I recognised his^-saww eyes beneath the helmet, shining brightly. I called out at the top of my voice, ‘O assembly of Muslims! This is Rasool-Allah!’ He^-saww gestured to me to remain silent.

فانحازت إليه طائفة من أصحابه فلامهم النبي ص على الفرار فقالوا يا رسول الله فديناك بآبائنا و أمهاتنا أتانا الخبر أنك قتلت فرعبت‏ قلوبنا فولينا مدبرين فأنزل الله تعالى هذه الآية وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ‏

A group of his^-saww companions then gathered around him. The Prophet^-saww reproached them for fleeing, and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww, may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you^-saww! News reached us that you had been killed, so our hearts turned around fleeing!’, so Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed this Verse: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him [3:144]’.

قوله تعالى‏ إِنْ تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قال الطبرسي رحمه الله قيل نزلت في المنافقين إذ قالوا للمؤمنين يوم أحد عند الهزيمة ارجعوا إلى إخوانكم و ارجعوا إلى دينهم- عن علي عليه السلام‏

Words of the Exalted: If you obey those who are committing Kufr [3:149] – Al Tabarsee said, ‘It is said it was Revealed regarding the hypocrites when they said to the believers on the day of Ohad at the defeat, ‘Return to your brothers and return to your religion!’ – From Ali^-asws.

قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ ص لِلرُّمَاةِ لَا تَبْرَحُوا هَذَا الْمَكَانَ فَإِنَّا لَا نَزَالُ غَالِبِينَ مَا ثَبَتُّمْ فِي مَكَانِكُمْ

Words of the Prophet^-saww to the archers: ‘Do not depart from this place, for we will not cease to prevail for as long as you are affirmed in your places!’

و روى الواقدي‏ عن سهل بن سعد الساعدي قال‏ خرج رسول الله ص يوم أحد و كسرت رباعيته و هشمت البيضة على رأسه و كانت فاطمة بنته عليها السلام تغسل عنه الدم و علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام يسكب عليها بالمجن فلما رأت فاطمة عليها السلام أن الماء لا يزيد الدم إلا كثرة أخذت قطعة حصير فأحرقته حتى إذا صار رمادا ألزمته الجرح فاستمسك الدم

And it is reported by Al Waqidi, from Sahl Bin Sa’ad Al Sa’ady who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww went out on the Day of Ohad, and one of his^-saww front teeth was broken and the helmet upon his^-saww head was smashed. His^-saww daughter Fatimah^-asws was washing the blood from him^-saww, while Ali Bin Abi Talib^-asws poured water for her^-saww using a shield. When Fatimah^-asws saw that the water only caused the bleeding to increase, she^-saww took a piece of matting and burned it until it became ashes. She^-asws then applied the ashes to the wound, and the bleeding stopped’.

كَانَ يَقُولُ‏ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَنْ يَكُرُّ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

He^-saww was saying: ‘To me^-saww, O servants of Allah^-azwj! To me^-saww, O servants of Allah^-azwj! I^-saww am a Messenger^-saww of Allah^-azwj! The one who returns, for him is Paradise!’

عَنْ مُقَاتِلٍ‏ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي غَنَائِمِ أُحُدٍ حِينَ تَرَكَتِ الرُّمَاةُ الْمَرْكَزَ طَلَباً لِلْغَنِيمَةِ

From Muqatil, ‘It was Revealed regarding the war booty of Ohad when the archers left their positions seeking the war booty’.

وَ قَالُوا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَقُولَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَخَذَ شَيْئاً فَهُوَ لَهُ وَ لَا يَقْسِمَ كَمَا لَمْ يَقْسِمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ وَقَعُوا فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَقَالَ‏ ص أَ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنَّا نَغُلُّ وَ لَا نَقْسِمُ لَكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ

And they said, ‘We fear that Rasool-Allah^-saww may say: ‘Whatever a person has taken belongs to him,’ and that he^-saww will not distribute the spoils, just as he^-saww did not distribute these on the Day of Badr’. They rushed towards the spoils. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Did you think that we would act dishonestly regarding the spoils and not distribute them among you?’ Then Allah^-azwj Revealed the Verse.

وَ قِيلَ إِنَّهُ قَسَمَ الْغَنِيمَةَ وَ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِلطَّلَائِعِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الطَّلَائِعُ قَالُوا أَ قَسَمَ الْفَيْ‏ءَ وَ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَنَا فَعَرَّفَهُ اللَّهُ الْحُكْمَ فِيهِ وَ نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ

It is also said that he^-saww distributed the spoils but did not allot a share to the reconnaissance parties. When the reconnaissance parties returned, they said, ‘Has he^-saww distributed the spoils and given us no share?’ Allah^-azwj Made known to him^-saww the ruling concerning this, and the Verse was Revealed.

وَ قِيلَ نَزَلَتْ فِي أَدَاءِ الْوَحْيِ كَانَ ص‏ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ فِيهِ عَيْبُ دِينِهِمْ وَ سَبُّ آلِهَتِهِمْ فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَطْوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ فَنَزَلَتْ‏

It is also said that the Verse was Revealed concerning the faithful conveyance of Revelation. The Prophet^-saww used to recite the Quran, in which there was criticism of their religion and condemnation of their gods. They asked him^-saww to withhold those passages from them, and so the Verse was Revealed.

أَنَّ ذَلِكَ بِاخْتِيَارِهِمُ الْفِدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَسْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ كَانَ الْحُكْمُ فِيهِمُ الْقَتْلَ وَ شَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنْ قَبِلْتُمُ الْفِدَاءَ قُتِلَ مِنْكُمْ فِي الْقَابِلِ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ قَالُوا رَضِينَا فَإِنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْفِدَاءَ فَنَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ وَ إِذَا قُتِلَ مِنَّا فِيمَا بَعْدُ كُنَّا شُهَدَاءَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ وَ هُوَ الْمَرْوِيُّ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

That occurred because they chose to accept ransom for the captives on the Day of Badr, although the ruling concerning them was that they should be killed. It was stipulated to them: ‘If you accept the ransom, then in the following year a number equal to them will be killed from among you’. They said, ‘We are satisfied with this, for we shall take the ransom and benefit from it, and if some of us are killed afterwards, we shall be martyrs!’ This is narrated from Ali^-asws and Ubaydah Al Salmani, and it is also narrated from Al-Baqir^-asws.

و روى محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار عن عبد الله بن خارجة عن زيد بن ثابت عن أبي السائب‏ أن رجلا من أصحاب النبي ص من بني عبد الأشهل كان شهد أحدا قال شهدت أحدا أنا و أخ لي فرجعنا جريحين فلما أذن مؤذن رسول الله ص بالخروج في طلب العدو قلنا لا تفوتنا غزوة مع رسول الله ص‏

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Is’haq Bin Yasaar, from Abdullah Bin Kharjah, from Zayd Bin Sabir, from Abu Al-Saaib, ‘A man from among the companions of the Prophet^-saww, from the clan of Abd Al-Ashhal, who had participated in Ohad, said: ‘My brother and I were present at Ohad, and we returned wounded. When the caller of Rasool-Allah^-saww announced that we were to go out in pursuit of the enemy, we said, ‘We will not allow ourselves to miss a military expedition with Rasool-Allah^-saww!’

و الله ما لنا دابة نركبها و ما منا إلا جريح ثقيل فخرجنا مع رسول الله ص و كنت أيسر جرحا من أخي فكنت إذا غلب حملته عقبة و مشى عقبة حتى بلغنا مع رسول الله ص حمراء الأسد

By Allah^-azwj, we had no riding animal to carry us, and both of us were severely wounded. Nevertheless, we went out with Rasool-Allah^-saww. My wounds were less severe than those of my brother, so whenever he became unable to continue. I would carry him for a while, and then he would walk for a while, until we reached Hamra Al-Asad with Rasool-Allah^-saww. Ma’bad Al-Khuza’i passed by Rasool-Allah^-saww at Hamra Al-Asad.

فمر برسول الله ص معبد الخزاعي بحمراء الأسد و كانت خزاعة مسلمهم و كافرهم عينة رسول الله ص بتهامة صفقتهم معه لا يخفون عنه شيئا و معبد يومئذ مشرك فقال و الله يا محمد لقد عز علينا مصابك في قومك و أصحابك و لوددنا أن الله كان أعفاك فيهم

The tribe of Khuza’ah, both their Muslims and their unbelievers, were the eyes and informants of Rasool-Allah^-saww in Tihamah. They had an understanding with him^-saww and concealed nothing from him^-saww. Ma’bad was still a Polytheist at that time. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, O Muhammad^-saww! What has befallen you among your people and companions has greatly distressed us, and we wished that Allah^-azwj had spared you from such suffering among them’.

ثم خرج من عند رسول الله ص حتى لقي أبا سفيان و من معه بالروحاء و أجمعوا الرجعة إلى رسول الله ص و قالوا قد أصبنا جل‏ أصحابه و قادتهم و أشرافهم ثم رجعنا قبل أن نستأصلهم‏

He then departed from Rasool-Allah^-saww until he met Abu Sufyan and those with him at Al-Rawha. They had resolved to return against Rasool-Allah^-saww, saying, ‘We have struck down the strength of his companions, their leaders and their noblemen, yet we turned back before completely uprooting them’.

فلما رأى أبو سفيان معبدا قال ما وراءك يا معبد قال محمد قد خرج في أصحابه يطلبكم في جمع لم أر مثله قط يتحرقون عليكم تحرقا و قد اجتمع عليه من كان تخلف عنه في يومكم و ندموا على ضيعتهم‏ و فيهم من الحنق‏ عليكم ما لم أر مثله قط

When Abu Sufyan saw Ma’bad, he said, ‘What news do you have, O Ma’bad?’ He replied, ‘Muhammad^-saww has set out with his companions in pursuit of you with a force the like of which I have never seen. They are burning with fury against you. Those who remained behind and did not join him on the day of your battle have now gathered around him, regretting what they missed, and they harbour such intense anger against you as I have never seen at all!’

قال ويلك ما تقول فقال و الله ما أراك ترتحل حتى ترى نواصي الخيل

Abu Sufyan said, ‘Woe to you! What are you saying?’ Ma’bad replied, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I do not think you will even have time to depart before you see the forelocks of their horses’.

قال فو الله لقد أجمعنا الكرة عليهم لنستأصلهم قال فو الله إني لأنهاك عن ذلك فو الله لقد حملني ما رأيت على أن قلت أبياتا فيه من شعر قال و ما قلت

Abu Sufyan said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, we have resolved to turn back against them and completely destroy them’. Ma’bad said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I strongly advise you against doing that. By Allah^-azwj, what I saw affected me so greatly that I composed some verses of poetry about it.’ Abu Sufyan asked, ‘What did you say?’

قال قلت‏

 

كادت تهد من الأصوات راحلتي		إذ سالت الأرض بالجرد الأبابيل
تردي‏ بأسد كرام لا تنابلة		عند اللقاء و لا خرق معاذيل فظلت عدوا أظن الأرض مائلة
لما سموا برئيس غير مخذول		و قلت وي‏ لابن حرب من لقائكم
إذا تغطمطت البطحاء بالحيل		إني نذير لأهل السير ضاحية
لكل ذي إربة منهم و معقول		من جيش أحمد لا وخش‏ تنابلة
و ليس يوصف ما أثبت بالقيل

He said, ‘I said: ‘The thunderous voices almost caused my mount to collapse, when the earth overflowed with companies of swift, unbridled horses. They rushed forward with noble lions, neither weak nor sluggish in battle, nor cowardly, defenceless men deserving of blame. I continued fleeing, thinking that the earth itself was tilting, when they advanced under a leader who would not be forsaken. And I said, ‘Woe to Bin Harb when you encounter them, when the valley of Makkah roars and surges with horses’. I am a warner to the people of Makkah, openly warning every intelligent and discerning man among them, of the army of Ahmad^-saww containing no feeble or sluggish men. What I have witnessed cannot adequately be described merely in word’.

قال فثنى ذلك أبا سفيان و من معه و مر به ركب من عبد القيس فقال أين تريدون قالوا نريد المدينة نريد الميرة فقال فهل أنتم مبلغون عني محمدا رسالة أرسلكم بها إليه و أحمل لكم إبلكم هذه زبيبا بعكاظ غدا إذا وافيتمونا

He said, ‘This caused Abu Sufyan and those who were with him to abandon their intention. A caravan from Abd Al-Qays then passed by him. He asked them, ‘Where are you going?’ They replied, ‘We are going to Madinah to obtain provisions. He said, ‘Will you convey a message from me to Muhammad^-saww which I shall send with you to him^-saww? In return, I will load these camels of yours with raisins at Ukaz tomorrow when you meet us there!’

قالوا نعم قال إذا جئتموه فأخبروه أنا قد أجمعنا الكرة إليه و إلى أصحابه‏ لنستأصل بقيتهم

They said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘When you reach him^-saww, tell him that we have resolved to return against him^-saww and his^-saww companions in order to completely destroy those who remain of them’.

و انصرف أبو سفيان و مر الركب برسول الله ص و هو بحمراء الأسد فأخبروه بقول أبي سفيان فقال رسول الله ص و أصحابه‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏

Abu Sufyan then departed. The caravan passed by Rasool-Allah^-saww while he was at Hamra Al-Asad and informed him of what Abu Sufyan had said. Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions then said: ‘Allah^-azwj is sufficient for us, and He^-azwj is the best Disposer of affairs’.

ثم انصرف رسول الله ص بعد الثالثة إلى المدينة و قد ظفر في وجهه‏ ذلك بمعاوية بن المغيرة بن العاص‏ و أبي غرة الجمحي‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww then returned to Madinah after the third day. During that expedition, he^-saww had succeeded in capturing Mu’awiyah Bin Al Mughirah Bin Al-As and Abu Ghurrah Al-Jumahi.

قال مجاهد و عكرمة نزلت هذه الآيات في غزاة بدر الصغرى و ذلك أن أبا سفيان قال يوم أحد حين أراد أن ينصرف يا محمد موعدنا بيننا و بينك موسم بدر الصغرى لقابل إن شئت‏

Mujahid and Ikrimah said, ‘These Verses were Revealed concerning the expedition of Badr Al Sughra. This was because Abu Sufyan said on the day of Ohad, when he intended to depart, ‘O Muhammad! Let the appointed meeting between us and you^-saww be at the season of Badr Al Sughra next year, if you wish!’

فقال رسول الله ص ذلك بيننا و بينك فلما كان العام المقبل خرج أبو سفيان في أهل مكة حتى نزل مجنة من ناحية من مر الظهران‏ ثم ألقى الله عليه الرعب فبدا له في الرجوع فلقي نعيم بن مسعود الأشجعي و قد قدم معتمرا

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘That is agreed between us and you! When the following year came, Abu Sufyan set out with the people of Makkah until he encamped at Majannah, in the vicinity of Marr Al Zahran. Then Allah^-azwj Cast terror into his heart, and he decided to return. He met Nuaym Bin Masud Al Ashjai, who had come to perform Umrah.

فقال له أبو سفيان إني واعدت محمدا و أصحابه أن نلتقي بموسم بدر الصغرى و إن هذه عام جدب فلا يصلح لنا إلا عام نرعى فيه الشجر و نشرب فيه اللبن و قد بدا لي أن لا أخرج إليها و أكره أن يخرج محمد و لا أخرج أنا فيزيدهم ذلك جرأة فالحق بالمدينة فثبطهم و لك عندي عشرة من الإبل أضعها على يدي سهيل بن عمرو

Abu Sufyan said to him, ‘I had promised Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions that we would meet at the season of Badr Al Sughra. However, this is a year of drought, and only a year in which we can graze upon the vegetation and drink milk is suitable for us. I have now decided not to go there, but I dislike the thought that Muhammad^-saww may go out while I do not, for that would increase their boldness. Therefore, go to Madinah and discourage them. In return, I will give you ten camels, which I shall place in the custody of Suhayl Bin Amr’.

فأتى نعيم المدينة فوجد الناس يتجهزون لميعاد أبي سفيان فقال لهم بئس الرأي رأيتم أتوكم في دياركم و قراركم فلم يفلت منكم إلا شريد فتريدون أن تخرجوا و قد جمعوا لكم عند الموسم فو الله لا يفلت منكم أحد

Nuaym came to Madinah and found the people preparing themselves for their appointed meeting with Abu Sufyan. He said to them, ‘What a terrible decision you have made! They came against you in your own lands and your own stronghold, and none of you escaped except a scattered remnant. Yet now you intend to go out against them when they have gathered their forces against you at the appointed place! By Allah^-azwj, not one of you will escape!’

فكره أصحاب رسول الله الخروج فقال رسول الله ص و الذي نفسي بيده لأخرجن و لو وحدي

The companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww became reluctant to go out. Rasool-Allah^-saww then said: ‘By Him^-azwj in Whose Hand is my^-saww soul! I^-saww shall certainly go out, even if I^-saww have to go alone!’

فأما الجبان فإنه رجع و أما الشجاع فإنه تأهب للقتال و قال‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏

As for the coward, he turned back, while the courageous one prepared himself for battle and said, ‘Allah^-azwj is Sufficient for us, and He^-azwj is the best Disposer of affairs!’

فخرج رسول الله ص في أصحابه حتى وافوا بدر الصغرى و هو ماء لبني كنانة و كان‏ موضع سوق لهم في الجاهلية يجتمعون إليها في كل عام ثمانية أيام فأقام ببدر ينتظر أبا سفيان‏ و قد انصرف أبو سفيان من مجنة إلى مكة فسماهم أهل مكة جيش السويق و قالوا إنما خرجتم تشربون السويق

Rasool-Allah^-saww then set out with his companions until they reached Badr Al Sughra. It was a watering place belonging to the clan of Kinanah and had been the site of a market for them during the pre-Islamic era, where they would gather for eight days every year. He remained at Badr waiting for Abu Sufyan. Abu Sufyan, however, had already returned from Majannah to Makkah. The people of Makkah therefore called them ‘the army of Sawiq’ saying, ‘You only went out to drink Sawiq’.

و لم يلق رسول الله ص و أصحابه أحد من المشركين ببدر و وافقوا السوق و كانت لهم تجارات فباعوها و أصابوا الدرهم‏ درهمين و انصرفوا إلى المدينة سالمين غانمين- و قد روى ذلك أبو الجارود عن الباقر عليه السلام

Rasool-Allah^-saww and his companions did not encounter any of the Polytheists at Badr. They attended the market, where they had merchandise to trade. They sold it and made two Dirhams for every dirham invested and then returned to Madinah safe and enriched with profit. This has also been narrated by Abu Al-Jaroud from Imam Al-Baqir^-asws.

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ عِكْرِمَةُ لَمَّا أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَ صَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْجَبَلَ جَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَنَا يَوْمٌ وَ لَكُمْ يَوْمٌ

Ibn Abbas and Ikrimah said, ‘When it afflicted the Muslims what had afflicted them on the day of Ohad, and the Prophet^-saww ascended the mountain, Abu Sufyan came and said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! A day for us and a day for you all!’

فَقَالَ ص أَجِيبُوهُ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ لَا سَوَاءٌ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ

He^-saww said: ‘Answer him!’ The Muslims said, ‘It is not the same! Our slain are in Paradise while your slain are in the Fire!’

فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ‏ لَنَا عُزَّى وَ لَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ‏

Abu Sufyan said, ‘For us there is Uzza (a worshipped idol) while there is no Uzza for you all!’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قُولُوا اللَّهُ مَوْلَانَا وَ لَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ

The Prophet^-saww said (to the Muslims): ‘Say, ‘Allah^-azwj is our Master while there is no master for you all!’’

فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ‏ اعْلُ هُبَلُ

Abu Sufyan said, ‘Exalted is Hobal (a worshipped idol)!’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قُولُوا اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Exalted is Allah^-azwj, and most Majestic!’’

Some commentary: –

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ ص كَانَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ قَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And it is reported that he^-saww was wiping the blood from his^-saww face and saying: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Guide my^-saww people for they do not know’.

قِيلَ‏ لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي الشِّعْبِ وَ أَقْبَلَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بِخَيْلِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْلُوَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَا يَعْلُنَّ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ لَا قُوَّةَ لَنَا إِلَّا بِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا يَعْبُدُكَ بِهَذِهِ البَلْدَةِ إِلَّا هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ وَ ثَابَ نَفَرٌ رُمَاةٌ وَ صَعِدُوا الْجَبَلَ وَ رَمَوْا خَيْلَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى هَزَمُوهُمْ وَ عَلَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْجَبَلَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ أَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ‏ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

And it is said, ‘When the Muslims were defeated in the mountain pass and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed came with the cavalry of the Polytheists intending to be higher upon them at the mountain, the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Do not let him be higher upon us. O Allah^-azwj! There is no strength for us except through You^-azwj. O Allah^-azwj! No one worships You^-azwj in this city except for this number’. Allah^-azwj Revealed the Verse, and a number of them leapt and ascended the mountain and shot arrows at the cavalry of the Polytheists until they defeated them, and the Muslims were higher in the mountain. Due to that are His^-azwj Words: and you would be uppermost [3:139] – from Ibn Abbas.

و قال أنس بن مالك‏ أتي رسول الله ص بعلي عليه السلام يومئذ و عليه‏ نيّف و ستون جراحة من طعنة و ضربة و رمية فجعل رسول الله ص يمسحها و هي تلتئم بإذن الله تعالى كأن لم تكن

And Anas Bin Malik (a well-known fabricator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww came to Ali^-asws on that day and upon him^-asws were cuts and cruises as injuries from stabbings (of spears) and strikes (of swords) and arrows, so Rasool-Allah^-saww went on to wipe them and these were healed by the Permission of Allah^-azwj the Exalted as if they had not happened’.

وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ صَعِدَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ الْجَبَلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُونَا فَمَكَثَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ سَاعَةً وَ قَالَ يَوماً بِيَوْمٍ إِنَ‏ الْأَيَّامَ دُوَلٌ وَ إِنَّ الْحَرْبَ سِجَالٌ‏ فَقَالَ ص أَجِيبُوهُ فَقَالُوا لَا سَوَاءٌ قَتْلَانَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي النَّارِ

And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When it was the day of Ohad, Abu Sufyan ascended the mountain, so Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! It isn’t for them that they should be higher than us. Abu Sufyan remained for a while and said, ‘A day, for a day (i.e., Ohad for Badr). The days rotate and the war alternates. He^-saww said: ‘Answer him!’ They said, ‘They are not the same, our killed ones are in Paradise and your killed ones are in the Fire!’

فَقَالَ‏ لَنَا عُزَّى وَ لَا عُزَّى لَكُمْ‏ He said, ‘There is Uzza (an idol) for us and there is no Uzza for you!’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏اللَّهُ مَوْلَانَا وَ لَا مَوْلَى لَكُمْ‏ The Prophet-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj is our Master and there is no Master for you!’

فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ اعْلُ هُبَلُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ

Abu Sufyan said, ‘Lofty is Hobal (an idol)!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Lofty is Allah^-azwj and More Majestic!’

وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ‏- قال أهل التفسير سبب نزول هذه الآية أنه‏ لما أرجف بأن النبي ص قتل يوم أحد و أشيع ذلك قال الناس لو كان نبيا لما قتل و قال آخرون نقاتل على ما قاتل عليه حتى نلحق به و ارتد بعضهم و انهزم بعضهم و كان سبب انهزامهم و تضعضعهم إخلال الرماة لمكانهم من الشعب

And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool [3:144] – The people of the Tafseer said, ‘The reason for the Revelation of this Verse is that when they had spread false rumours about the Prophet^-saww that he^-saww had been killed, on the Day of Ohad, and that spread, the people said, ‘If he^-saww was a Prophet^-saww he^-saww would not have been killed’. And the others said, ‘Fight upon what he^-saww had fought until we meet up with him^-saww (in the Hereafter)’. And some of them withdrew and some of them were defeated, and the cause of their defeat and their dejection was the disturbance of the archers in their placed from the mountain pass.

و كان رسول الله ص نهاهم عن الإخلال به و أمر عبد الله بن جبير و هو أخو خوات بن جبير على الرماة و هم خمسون رجلا و قال لا تبرحوا مكانكم فإنا لن نزال غالبين ما ثبتم بمكانكم و جاءت قريش على ميمنتهم خالد بن الوليد و على ميسرتهم عكرمة بن أبي جهل و معهم النساء يضربن بالدفوف و ينشدون الأشعار

And Rasool-Allah^-saww had forbidden them from being disturbed by it and had instructed Abdullah Bin Jubeyr, and he is a brother of Khawat Bin Jubeyr, to be in charge upon the archers, and they were fifty men, and said: ‘Do not leave your places and we will not cease to overcome for as long as you are firm in your places’. And Quraysh came on the right of Khalid Bin Al-Waleed and on their left was Ikrima Bin Abu Jahl, and with them were the women striking the tambourines and singing the poems.

فراق غير وامق

Hind said, ‘We are the daughters of the night-comers, walking upon the pillows. If you accept we hug, or if you turn around, we separate, a separation without preference’.

و كان أبو عامر عبد عمرو بن الصيفي أول من لقيهم بالأحابيش و عبيد أهل مكة فقاتلهم قتالا شديدا و حميت الحرب.: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِهَذَا السَّيْفِ‏ بِحَقِّهِ وَ يَضْرِبُ بِهِ الْعَبِيدَ حَتَّى يَنْحَنِيَ فَأَخَذَهُ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَ السَّيْفَ اعْتَمَّ بِعِمَامَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَ جَعَلَ يَفْتَخِرُ وَ يَقُولُ‏

أَنَا الَّذِي عَاهَدَنِي خَلِيلِي

أَنْ لَا أُقِيمَ الدَّهْرَ فِي الْكُبُولِ أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِ اللَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ‏

And Abu Aamir Amro Bin Al-Sayfi was the first one to meet with the Ethiopians and slave of the people of Makkah. He fought them with a severe fighting and the war was hot. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Who will take this sword with its rightfulness and strike the slaves with it until they bow’. Abu Dajjana Simak Bin Kharsha Al-Ansary grabbed it. When he had taken the sword, he wore a red turban and went on to pride and say (a poem), ‘My friend has a pact with me that I will not be staying in the prison for ever. I shall strike with the sword of Allah^-azwj and the Rasool^-saww’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّهَا لَمِشْيَةٌ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِلَّا فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ‏ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَهَزَمُوهُمْ وَ قَتَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَصْحَابَ اللِّوَاءِ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ نُصْرَتَهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘It is for a (Divine) Desire Allah^-azwj the Exalted Hates except in this place’. Then the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww companions attacked upon the Polytheists and defeated them, and Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws killed the flag bearers, and Allah^-azwj Sent down His^-azwj Help upon the Muslims.

قال الزبير فرأيت هندا و صواحبها هاربات مصعدات في الجبال نادية خدامهن ما دون أخذهن شي‏ء فلما نظرت الرماة إلى القوم قد انكشفوا و رأوا النبي ص و أصحابه ينتهبون الغنيمة أقبلوا يريدون النهب و اختلفوا فقال بعضهم لا نترك أمر رسول الله ص و قال بعضهم ما بقي من الأمر شي‏ء ثم انطلقوا عامتهم و ألحقوا بالعسكر

Al-Zubeyr said, ‘I saw Hind and her companions fleeing ascending in the mountain, calling their servants without taking anything. When the archers looked at the people to have been exposed, and they saw the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww companion attaining the war booty, they came down wanting the war booty, and they differed. One of them said, ‘Do not neglect the orders of Rasool-Allah^-saww’. And one of them said, ‘Nothing from the orders remain’. Then the generality of them went and came to be with the soldiers.

فلما رأى خالد بن الوليد قلة الرماة و اشتغال المسلمين بالغنيمة و رأى ظهورهم خالية صاح في خيله من المشركين و حمل على أصحاب النبي ص من خلفهم فهزموهم و قتلوهم و رمى عبد الله بن قَمِيئَةَ الحارثي رسول الله ص بحجر فكسر أنفه و رباعيته و شجه في وجهه فأثقله و تفرق عنه أصحابه و أقبل يريد قتله

When Khalid Bin Al-Waleed saw the archers and the pre-occupation of the Muslims with the war booty and saw their backs to be vacant, he shouted among his cavalry of the Polytheists and attacked upon the companions of the Prophet^-saww from their behind and defeated them and killed them; and Abdullah Bin Qamiya Al-Harisy pelted Rasool-Allah^-saww with a stone and broke his^-saww nose and teeth and bruised his^-saww face. He^-saww was weighed down and his^-saww companions separated from him^-saww, and he came intending to kill him^-saww.

فذب مصعب بن عمير و هو صاحب راية رسول الله ص يوم بدر و يوم أحد و كان اسم رايته العقاب عن رسول الله ص حتى قتل مصعب بن عمير قتله ابن قَمِيئَةَ فرجع و هو يرى أنه قتل رسول الله ص و قال إني قتلت محمدا و صاح صائح‏ ألا إن محمدا قد قتل و يقال إن الصائح كان إبليس لعنه الله

Mas’ab Bin Umeyr, and he is the flag bearer of Rasool-Allah^-saww on the day of Badr and the day of Ohad, and the name of his Al-Aqab, defended Rasool-Allah^-saww until Ibn Qaymiya killed Mas’ab Bin Umeyr. So, he returned and he was viewing that he had killed Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘I have killed Muhammad^-saww!’, and a shouter shouted, ‘Indeed, Muhammad^-saww has been killed!’ And it is said, that the shouter was Iblees^-la, may Allah^-azwj Curse him^-la.

فانكفأ الناس‏ و جعل رسول الله ص يدعو الناس و يقول إلي عباد الله إلي عباد الله فاجتمع إليه ثلاثون رجلا فحموه حتى كشفوا عنه المشركين و رمى سعد بن أبي وقاص حتى اندقت سية قوسه و أصيبت يد طلحة بن عبيد الله فيبست و أصيبت عين قَتَادَةَ بن النعمان يومئذ حتى وقعت على وجنته فردها رسول الله ص مكانها فعادت كأحسن ما كانت

The people withdrew and Rasool-Allah^-saww went on calling the people and saying: ‘Come back to me^-saww (O) servants of Allah^-azwj, come back to me^-saww!’ Thirty men gathered to him^-saww and protected him^-saww until they removed the Polytheists away from him^-saww; and Sa’d Bin Abu Waqas shot arrows until the ends of his bow broke; and a hand of Talha Bin Ubeydullah was injured and it dried up, and an eye of Qatada bin Al-Numan was injured on that day until it fell upon his face, and Rasool-Allah^-saww returned it back in its place, and it returned to be more beautiful than it had been.

فلما انصرف رسول الله ص أدركه أبي بن خلف الجمحي و هو يقول لا نجوت إن نجوت فقال القوم يا رسول الله ألا يعطف عليه رجل منا فقال دعوه حتى إذا دنا منه و كان أبي قبل ذلك يلقى رسول الله ص فيقول عندي رمكة أعلفها كل يوم فرق ذرة أقتلك عليها فقال رسول الله ص بل أنا أقتلك إن شاء الله تعالى

When Rasool-Allah^-saww left Abay Bin Khalaf Al-Jumhy met him^-saww and he was saying, ‘There is no survival if he^-saww survives’. The people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Will you^-saww not send a man from us against him?’ He^-saww said: ‘Leave him’, until when he was near him^-saww, and Abay before that had met Rasool-Allah^-saww, and had said, ‘I have a horse I have been feeding corn every day so I can kill you^-saww upon it’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘But I^-saww shall be killing you, if Allah^-azwj so Desires’.

فلما كان يوم أحد و دنا منه تناول رسول الله ص الحربة من الحرث بن الصمة ثم استقبله فطعنه في عنقه فخدش خدشة فتدهدأ عن فرسه و هو يخور خوار الثور و هو يقول قتلني محمد فاحتمله أصحابه و قالوا ليس عليك بأس فقال بلى لو كانت هذه الطعنة بربيعة و مضر لقتلتهم‏ أ ليس قال لي أقتلك فلو بزق علي بعد تلك المقالة لقتلني فلم يلبث إلا يوما حتى مات

When it was the day of Ohad and he came near him^-saww Rasool-Allah^-saww grabbed the bayonet from Al-Hars Bin Al-Sa’at, then faced him and stabbed him in his neck. He wavered on his horse and he was snorting the snort of a bull and saying, ‘Muhammad^-saww killed me!’ His companions carried him and they said, ‘There is no problem upon you’. He said, ‘Yes, if this stab was by (the tribes of) Rabie and Muzar, I would have killed them. Hadn’t he^-saww said to me: ‘I^-saww shall be killing you’?’ Even if he^-saww had been sluggish upon me after those words, it (the stab) would have still killed me’. He did not remain except for a day until he died.

قال و فشا في الناس أن رسول الله ص قد قتل فقال بعض المسلمين ليت لنا رسولا إلى عبد الله بن أبي فيأخذ لنا أمانا من أبي سفيان و بعضهم جلسوا و ألقوا بأيديهم و قال أناس من أهل النفاق فالحقوا بدينكم الأول و قال أنس بن النضر عم أنس بن مالك يا قوم إن كان محمد قد قتل فإن رب محمد لم يقتل و ما تصنعون بالحياة بعد رسول الله ص فقاتلوا على ما قاتل عليه رسول الله و موتوا على ما مات عليه

He said, ‘And it spread among the people that Rasool-Allah^-saww had been killed, so some of the Muslims said, ‘If only there was a messenger for us to Abdullah Bin Abay, so he could take an amnesty for us from Abu Sufyan’. And some of them sat down and threw up their hands, and some people from the hypocrites said, ‘Adhere with your former Religion’. And Anas bin Al-Nazar uncle of Anas Bin Malik (fabricator) said, ‘O people! Even if Muhammad^-saww has been killed, the Lord^-azwj of Muhammad^-saww had not been killed, and what will we do with the life after Rasool-Allah^-saww? Fight upon what Rasool-Allah^-saww had fought and die upon what he^-saww died’.

ثم قال اللهم إني أعتذر إليك مما يقوله هؤلاء يعني المنافقين‏ و أبرأ إليك مما جاء به هؤلاء يعني المنافقين ثم شد بسيفه فقاتل حتى قتل ثم إن رسول الله ص انطلق إلى الصخرة و هو يدعو الناس فأول من عرف رسول الله ص كعب بن مالك قال عرفت عينيه تحت المغفر تزهران فناديت بأعلى صوتي يا معاشر المسلمين هذا رسول الله‏

Then he said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I present my excuse from what they are saying’ – meaning the hypocrites, ‘And I disavow from that they have come with’ – meaning the hypocrites. Then he grabbed his sword and fought until he was killed. Then Rasool-Allah^-saww went to the rock and he^-saww was calling the people. The first one to recognise Rasool-Allah^-saww was Ka’ab Bin Malik. He said, ‘I recognised his^-saww eyes appearing under the helmet. I called out at the top of my voice, ‘O community of Muslims, this is Rasool-Allah^-saww!’

فأشار إلي أن اسكت فانحازت إليه طائفة من أصحابه فلامهم النبي ص على الفرار فقالوا يا رسول الله فديناك بآبائنا و أمهاتنا أتانا الخبر أنك قتلت‏ فرعبت‏ قلوبنا فولينا مدبرين فأنزل الله تعالى هذه الآية وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ‏

He^-saww gestured towards me to be quiet, and a group of his^-saww companions aligned to him^-saww. The Prophet^-saww blamed them upon the fleeing. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww, may our fathers and our mothers be sacrificed for you^-saww! The news came to us that you^-saww had been killed, so our hearts turned and we turned around’. Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; [3:144]’’.

قوله تعالى‏ إِنْ تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قال الطبرسي رحمه الله قيل نزلت في المنافقين إذ قالوا للمؤمنين يوم أحد عند الهزيمة ارجعوا إلى إخوانكم و ارجعوا إلى دينهم- عن علي عليه السلام‏

The Words of the Exalted: Up to the Words of the Exalted: If you obey those who are committing Kufr [3:149]. Al-Tabarsy said, ‘It is said this was Revealed regarding the hypocrites when they said to the Momineen on the day of Ohad during the defeat, ‘Return to your brothers and return to their religion’ – from Ali^-asws.

و روى الواقدي عن سهل بن سعد الساعدي قال‏ خرج رسول الله ص يوم أحد و كسرت رباعيته و هشمت البيضة على رأسه و كانت فاطمة بنته عليها السلام تغسل عنه الدم و علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام يسكب عليها بالمجن فلما رأت فاطمة عليها السلام أن الماء لا يزيد الدم إلا كثرة أخذت قطعة حصير فأحرقته حتى إذا صار رمادا ألزمته الجرح فاستمسك الدم

And Al-Waqidy (wahabi imam) reported from Sahl Bin Sa’ad Al-Sa’ady who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww came out on the day of Ohad and his^-saww front teeth were broken and the helmet was smashed upon his^-saww head, and his^-saww daughter^-asws  (Syeda) Fatima^-asws  washed away the blood from him^-saww, and Ali^-asws  poured (water) upon it with the shield. When (Syeda) Fatima^-asws saw that the water is not impeding the flow of blood she^-asws grabbed a piece of straw and burnt it until when it had become ash, she^-asws applied it upon the injury and the blood flow stopped’.

كَانَ يَقُولُ‏ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَنْ يَكُرُّ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

He^-saww was saying: ‘Come back to me^-saww (O) servants of Allah^-azwj! Come back to me^-saww! I^-saww am Rasool-Allah^-saww. One who resumes fighting, Paradise would be for him!’

و عَنْ مُقَاتِلٍ‏ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي غَنَائِمِ أُحُدٍ حِينَ تَرَكَتِ الرُّمَاةُ الْمَرْكَزَ طَلَباً لِلْغَنِيمَةِ وَ قَالُوا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَقُولَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَخَذَ شَيْئاً فَهُوَ لَهُ وَ لَا يَقْسِمَ كَمَا لَمْ يَقْسِمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ وَقَعُوا فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَقَالَ ص أَ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنَّا نَغُلُّ وَ لَا نَقْسِمُ لَكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ

And from Maqatil, ‘It was Revealed regarding the war booty of Ohad when the archers left their positions seeking the war booty, and they said fearing that Rasool-Allah^-saww had said: ‘One who takes something, so it is for him and it will not be apportioned just as it was not apportioned on the day of Badr, and they fell into the war booty. He^-saww said: ‘Did you think I^-saww am an embezzler and will not apportion to you all?’ Allah^-azwj Revealed the Verse.

وَ قِيلَ إِنَّهُ قَسَمَ الْغَنِيمَةَ وَ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِلطَّلَائِعِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتِ الطَّلَائِعُ قَالُوا أَ قَسَمَ الْفَيْ‏ءَ وَ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَنَا فَعَرَّفَهُ اللَّهُ الْحُكْمَ فِيهِ وَ نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ

And it is said that he^-saww apportioned the war booty and did not apportion it to the forerunners. When the forerunners came, they said, ‘The booty is apportioned and he^-saww did not apportion to us!’ Allah^-azwj Taught him^-saww the decision regarding it and the Verse was Revealed.

أَنَّ ذَلِكَ بِاخْتِيَارِهِمُ الْفِدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَسْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ كَانَ الْحُكْمُ فِيهِمُ الْقَتْلَ وَ شَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنْ قَبِلْتُمُ الْفِدَاءَ قُتِلَ مِنْكُمْ فِي الْقَابِلِ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ قَالُوا رَضِينَا فَإِنَّا نَأْخُذُ الْفِدَاءَ فَنَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ وَ إِذَا قُتِلَ مِنَّا فِيمَا بَعْدُ كُنَّا شُهَدَاءَ- عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ وَ هُوَ الْمَرْوِيُّ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

The ransoming from the captives was by their choice on the day of Badr, and the decision regarding them was the killing, and it was stipulated upon them that if they were to accept the ransom, ‘Their number would be killed from you the next time’. They said, ‘We are pleased, and we shall take the ransom and benefit with it, and when (the same number) would be killed from us afterwards, we would be martyrs’. – From Ali^-asws and Ubeyda Al-Salamany, and it is reported from Al-Baqir^-asws.

و روى محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار عن عبد الله بن خارجة عن زيد بن ثابت عن أبي السائب‏ أن رجلا من أصحاب النبي ص من بني عبد الأشهل كان شهد أحدا قال شهدت أحدا أنا و أخ لي فرجعنا جريحين فلما أذن مؤذن رسول الله ص بالخروج في طلب العدو قلنا لا تفوتنا غزوة مع رسول الله ص‏ و الله ما لنا دابة نركبها و ما منا إلا جريح ثقيل

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Is’haq Bin Yasar, from Abdullah Bin Kharja, from Zayd Bin Sabit, from Abu Al-Saib, ‘A man from the companions of the Prophet^-saww from the clan of Abdul Ashal had attended Ohad. He said, ‘I attended Ohad, I and my brother. We returned injured. When the Muezzin of Rasool-Allah^-saww proclaimed Azan with the going out in seeking the enemy, we said, ‘No military expedition with Rasool-Allah^-saww will be lost from us. By Allah^-azwj, there is no animal for us we can be riding it, and there is none from us except injured, heavy’.

فخرجنا مع رسول الله ص و كنت أيسر جرحا من أخي فكنت إذا غلب حملته عقبة و مشى عقبة حتى بلغنا مع رسول الله ص حمراء الأسد فمر برسول الله ص معبد الخزاعي بحمراء الأسد و كانت خزاعة مسلمهم و كافرهم عينة رسول الله ص بتهامة صفقتهم معه لا يخفون عنه شيئا و معبد يومئذ مشرك فقال و الله يا محمد لقد عز علينا مصابك في قومك و أصحابك و لوددنا أن الله كان أعفاك‏ فيهم

We went out with Rasool-Allah^-saww and I was of lighter injuries than my brother, so whenever he was overcome. I would carry him and walked until we reached to be with Rasool-Allah^-saww at Hamra’a Al-Asad. Ma’bad Al-Khuzaie passed by Rasool-Allah^-saww at Hamra’a Al-Asad, and was spying upon Rasool-Allah^-saww at Tahama, nothing being hidden from him, and on that day Ma’bad was a Polytheist. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, O Muhammad^-saww! Your^-saww difficulty among your^-saww people has been narrated to us, and we would love it if Allah^-azwj would Keep you^-saww well among them’.

ثم خرج من عند رسول الله ص حتى لقي أبا سفيان و من معه بالروحاء و أجمعوا الرجعة إلى رسول الله ص و قالوا قد أصبنا جل أصحابه و قادتهم و أشرافهم ثم رجعنا قبل أن نستأصلهم‏ فلما رأى أبو سفيان معبدا قال ما وراءك يا معبد قال محمد قد خرج في أصحابه يطلبكم في جمع لم أر مثله قط يتحرقون عليكم تحرقا و قد اجتمع عليه من كان تخلف عنه في يومكم و ندموا على ضيعتهم‏ و فيهم من الحنق عليكم ما لم أر مثله قط

Then he went out from the presence of Rasool-Allah^-saww until he met Abu Sufyan and the ones with him at Al-Rawha, and they had gathered for the return to Rasool-Allah^-saww and they said, ‘The problems of his^-saww companions, and their guided and their noblemen have afflicted us, then we will be eradicated by them’. When Abu Sufyan saw Ma’bad, he said, ‘What is behind you, O Ma’bad?’ He said, ‘Muhammad^-saww has gone out among his^-saww companions seeking you all, in a gathering I have not seen the like of it at all. They are moving against you with a movement and there have gathered to him^-saww the ones who had stayed behind from him^-saww during your day, and regretted upon their losses, and among them are ones of fury against you, I have not seen the like of it at all’.

قال ويلك ما تقول فقال و الله ما أراك ترتحل حتى ترى نواصي الخيل قال فو الله لقد أجمعنا الكرة عليهم لنستأصلهم قال فو الله إني لأنهاك عن ذلك فو الله لقد حملني ما رأيت على أن قلت أبياتا فيه من شعر قال و ما قلت

He said, ‘Woe be unto you! What are you saying?’ He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I don’t see you departing until you see the forelocks of the horses. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj we shall gather the whole world against them, in order to eradicate them’. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I forbid you from that, for by Allah^-azwj what I have seen had carried me upon saying couplets or poetry regarding it’. He said, ‘And what did you say’.

 

كادت تهد من الأصوات راحلتي		إذ سالت الأرض بالجرد الأبابيل
تردي بأسد كرام لا تنابلة		عند اللقاء و لا خرق معاذيل. فظلت عدوا أظن الأرض مائلة
لما سموا برئيس غير مخذول		و قلت وي‏ لابن حرب من لقائكم
إذا تغطمطت البطحاء بالحيل		إني نذير لأهل السير ضاحية
لكل ذي إربة منهم و معقول		من جيش أحمد لا وخش‏ تنابلة
و ليس يوصف ما أثبت بالقيل

He said, ‘I said (a poem): – ‘The thunderous voices almost caused my mount to collapse, when the earth overflowed with companies of swift, unbridled horses. They rushed forward with noble lions, neither weak nor sluggish in battle, nor cowardly, defenceless men deserving of blame. I continued fleeing, thinking that the earth itself was tilting, when they advanced under a leader who would not be forsaken. And I said, ‘Woe to Bin Harb when you encounter them, when the valley of Makkah roars and surges with horses. I am a warner to the people of Makkah, openly warning every intelligent and discerning man among them, of the army of Ahmad,^-saww containing no feeble or sluggish men. What I have witnessed cannot adequately be described merely in word’.

قال فثنى ذلك أبا سفيان و من معه و مر به ركب من عبد القيس فقال أين تريدون قالوا نريد المدينة نريد الميرة فقال فهل أنتم مبلغون عني محمدا رسالة أرسلكم بها إليه و أحمل لكم إبلكم هذه زبيبا بعكاظ غدا إذا وافيتمونا قالوا نعم قال إذا جئتموه فأخبروه أنا قد أجمعنا الكرة إليه و إلى أصحابه‏ لنستأصل بقيتهم

He said, ‘Abu Sufyan and the ones with him praised that (poem), and a rider from Abdul Qays passed by him and said, ‘Where are you intending to go?’ They said, ‘We intend Al-Medina, we want the supplies. He said, ‘Would you like to send a notification from me to Muhammad^-saww, I can take a message to him^-saww, and carry this camel of yours with raisings to (the market of) Akaz tomorrow when we meet?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He (Abu Sufyan) said, ‘When you go to him^-saww and inform him^-saww that I am gathering the world against him^-saww and his^-saww companions in order to eradicate their remainder’.

و انصرف أبو سفيان و مر الركب برسول الله ص و هو بحمراء الأسد فأخبروه بقول أبي سفيان فقال رسول الله ص و أصحابه‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ ثم انصرف رسول الله ص بعد الثالثة إلى المدينة و قد ظفر في وجهه‏ ذلك بمعاوية بن المغيرة بن العاص و أبي غرة الجمحي

And Abu Sufyan left and the rider passed by Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he^-saww was at Hamra’a Al-Asad, and informed him^-saww with the words of Abu Sufyan. Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions said, ‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173]’. Then Rasool-Allah^-saww left after three (days) to Al-Medina, and he^-saww had won in that direction of his against Muawiya Bin Al-Mugheira Bin Al-Aas, and Abu Gura Al-Jamhy’.

و قال مجاهد و عكرمة نزلت هذه الآيات في غزاة بدر الصغرى و ذلك أن أبا سفيان قال يوم أحد حين أراد أن ينصرف يا محمد موعدنا بيننا و بينك موسم بدر الصغرى لقابل إن شئت فقال رسول الله ص ذلك بيننا و بينك

And Mujahid and Ikrima said, ‘This Verse was Revealed during the smaller military expedition of Badr, and that is that Abu Sufyan said on the day of Ohad when he wanted to leave, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Our appointment between us and you^-saww is the season of the smaller Badr next year, if you^-saww so like’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘That is between us and you’.

فلما كان العام المقبل خرج أبو سفيان في أهل مكة حتى نزل مجنة من ناحية من مر الظهران‏ ثم ألقى الله عليه الرعب فبدا له في الرجوع فلقي نعيم بن مسعود الأشجعي و قد قدم معتمرا فقال له أبو سفيان إني واعدت محمدا و أصحابه أن نلتقي بموسم بدر الصغرى و إن هذه عام جدب فلا يصلح لنا إلا عام نرعى فيه الشجر و نشرب فيه اللبن و قد بدا لي أن لا أخرج إليها و أكره أن يخرج محمد و لا أخرج أنا فيزيدهم ذلك جرأة فالحق بالمدينة فثبطهم و لك عندي عشرة من الإبل أضعها على يدي سهيل بن عمرو

When it was the next year, Abu Sufyan came out among the people of Makkah until he descended at Majna from an area one passes by Al-Zahran. Then Allah^-azwj Cast the awe upon him, and it began for him regarding the return. He met Nuaym Bin Masoud Al-Shajaie, and he had arrived as an Umrah pilgrim. Abu Sufyan said to him, ‘I had promised Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions that we shall meet in the season at the smaller Badr, and this is a dry year, so it is not correct for us except a year we seen the trees during it and we drink the milk during it, and there has been a change for me that I should not go out to it, and I dislike it if Muhammad^-saww comes out and I do not come out, so that would increase them in bravery. Go to Al-Medina and discourage them, and there would be ten from the camels for you with me. I shall place these upon the hand of Suheyl Bin Amro’.

فأتى نعيم المدينة فوجد الناس يتجهزون لميعاد أبي سفيان فقال لهم بئس الرأي رأيتم أتوكم في دياركم و قراركم فلم يفلت منكم إلا شريد فتريدون أن تخرجوا و قد جمعوا لكم عند الموسم فو الله لا يفلت منكم أحد فكره أصحاب رسول الله الخروج

Nuaym came to Al-Medina and found the people preparing for the appointment of Abu Sufyan. He said to them, ‘Wretched is the opinion you are viewing. I see you being in your houses and your dwelling, but no one from you will be escaping except being homeless. You are intending to go out and they have gathered for you at the season. By Allah^-azwj, no one from you will escape’. The companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww disliked the going out.

فقال رسول الله ص و الذي نفسي بيده لأخرجن و لو وحدي فأما الجبان فإنه رجع و أما الشجاع فإنه تأهب للقتال و قال‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ فخرج رسول الله ص في أصحابه حتى وافوا بدر الصغرى و هو ماء لبني كنانة و كان موضع سوق لهم في الجاهلية يجتمعون إليها في كل عام ثمانية أيام

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘By the One^-azwj in Whose Hand in my^-saww soul! I^-saww shall go out even if I^-saww am alone. As for the coward, so he can return, and as for the brave, so he is ready for the fighting’. And he^-saww said: ‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173]’. Rasool-Allah^-saww went out among his^-saww companions until they came to the smaller Badr, and it is a spring of the clan of Kanana, and it used to be the place of a market of theirs during the pre-Islamic period. They used to gather in it every year for eight days.

فأقام ببدر ينتظر أبا سفيان‏ و قد انصرف أبو سفيان من مجنة إلى مكة فسماهم أهل مكة جيش السويق و قالوا إنما خرجتم تشربون السويق و لم يلق رسول الله ص و أصحابه أحد من المشركين ببدر و وافقوا السوق و كانت لهم تجارات فباعوها و أصابوا الدرهم درهمين و انصرفوا إلى المدينة سالمين غانمين- و قد روى ذلك أبو الجارود عن الباقر عليه السلام

He^-saww stayed at Badr awaiting Abu Sufyan, and Abu Sufyan had left from Majna to go to Makkah, so the people of Makkah named them as the army of Al-Saweyq and they said, ‘But rather you went out drinking Al-Saweyq’. And Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions did not meet anyone from the Polytheists at Badr, and they came to the Marker and there was trading for them. So, they sold (goods) and attained the Dirham, two Dirhams and let to go to Al-Medina safely as winners. – And that has been reported by Abu Al-Jaroud from Al-Baqir^-asws.

Ibn Abbas and Ikrima said, ‘When the Muslims were afflicted by what afflicted them on the day of Ohad, and the Prophet^-saww ascended the mountain, Abu Sufyan came and said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! A day for us and a day for you^-saww!’ He^-saww said: ‘Answer him!’ The Muslims said, ‘They are not the same. Our killed ones are in Paradise and your killed ones are in the Fire!’ Abu Sufyan said: For us there is Uzza (an idol), and there is no Uzza for you’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Say, ‘Allah^-azwj is our Master and there is no Master for you’’. Abu Sufyan said, ‘Hobal (an idol) is lofty’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Say, ‘Allah^-azwj is Loftier and more Majestic!’’.

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww prayed Salat over Hamza^-asws and enshrouded him^-asws because he^-asws was ragged’’.[10]

Hanzala Bin Aamir Al-Rahib was martyred at Ohad but the Prophet^-saww did not instruct with washing him and said, ‘I^-saww saw the Angels between the sky and the earth washing Hanzala with water of the clouds in silver bowl’. He was named at ‘One washed by the Angels’’.[11]

3- فس، تفسير القمي‏ وَ إِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقاعِدَ لِلْقِتالِ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ‏- فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: سَبَبُ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ أَنَّ قُرَيْشاً خَرَجَتْ مِنْ مَكَّةَ تُرِيدُ حَرْبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَبْتَغِي مَوْضِعاً لِلْقِتَالِ

Tafseer Qummi – And when you went forth early in the morning from your family to assign the Momineen their positions for the fighting; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:121] – ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Safwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The reason for the Revelation of this Verse was that Quraysh had gone out from Makkah intending to battle Rasool-Allah^-saww, so Rasool-Allah^-saww went out seeking a place for the fighting’’.

قَوْلُهُ‏ إِذْ هَمَّتْ طائِفَتانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلا نَزَلَتْ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اتَّبَعُوا رَأْيَهُ فِي تَرْكِ الْخُرُوجِ وَ الْقُعُودِ عَنْ نُصْرَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ وَ كَانَ سَبَبُ غَزْوَةِ أُحُدٍ أَنَّ قُرَيْشاً لَمَّا رَجَعَتْ مِنْ بَدْرٍ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ وَ الْأَسْرِ لِأَنَّهُ قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ وَ أُسِرَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ

His^-azwj Words: When two groups from you had shown cowardice, and Allah was the Guardian of them both, and upon Allah let the Momineen rely [3:122] – it was Revealed regarding Abdullah Bin Abay and a group of his companion following his opinion in leaving the going out (for battle) and sitting back from helping Rasool-Allah^-saww. And the reason for the battle of Ohad was that when Quraysh returned from Badr to Makkah, and it had afflicted them what afflicted them from the killing and the captives because seventy of them had been killed and seventy of them had been captured.

فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَى مَكَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا تَدَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى قَتْلَاكُمْ‏ فَإِنَ‏ الْبُكَاءَ وَ الدَّمْعَةَ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ أَذْهَبَتِ‏ الْحُزْنَ وَ الْحُرْقَةَ وَ الْعَدَاوَةَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ يَشْمَتُ بِنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَلَمَّا غَزَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَذِنُوا لِنِسَائِهِمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْبُكَاءِ وَ النَّوْحِ

When they returned to Makkah, Abu Sufyan said, ‘O community of Quraysh! Do not call your womenfolk to cry upon your killed ones, for the crying and the tears when they come out, will do away the grief and movement, and the enmity to Muhammad^-saww, and Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions will gloat with us’. When they went to battle Rasool-Allah^-saww on the day of Ohad, they permitted to their womenfolk after that regarding the crying and the lamenting.

فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَغْزُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَى أُحُدٍ سَارُوا فِي حُلَفَائِهِمْ مِنْ كِنَانَةَ وَ غَيْرِهَا فَجَمَعُوا الْجُمُوعَ وَ السِّلَاحَ وَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ مَكَّةَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ فَارِسٍ وَ أَلْفَيْ رَاجِلٍ وَ أَخْرَجُوا مَعَهُمُ النِّسَاءَ يُذَكِّرْنَهُمْ وَ يُحَثِّثْنَهُمْ عَلَى حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَ أَخْرَجَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ وَ خَرَجَتْ مَعَهُمْ عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ الْحَارِثِيَّةُ

When they intended to battle Rasool-Allah^-saww to Ohad, they travelled among their allies from (clan of) Kinana and others. They gathered the multitudes and the weapons and went out from Makkah among three thousand horsemen and two thousand men, and the women came out with them reminding them and urging them upon battling Rasool-Allah^-saww; and Abu Sufyan brought out Hind Bint Utba, and Amrat Bint Alqama Al-Harsiya went out with them.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ جَمَعَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ قُرَيْشاً قَدْ تَجَمَّعَتْ تُرِيدُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ حَثَّ أَصْحَابَهُ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ وَ الْخُرُوجِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ وَ قَوْمٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تَخْرُجْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى نُقَاتِلَ فِي أَزِقَّتِهَا فَيُقَاتِلَ الرَّجُلُ الضَّعِيفُ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ الْعَبْدُ وَ الْأَمَةُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِ السِّكَكِ وَ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ فَمَا أَرَادَنَا قَوْمٌ قَطُّ فَظَفِرُوا بِنَا وَ نَحْنُ فِي حُصُونِنَا وَ دُورِنَا وَ مَا خَرَجْنَا إِلَى أَعْدَائِنَا قَطُّ إِلَّا كَانَ الظَّفَرُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا

When that reached Rasool-Allah^-saww, he^-saww gathered his^-saww companions and informed them that Quraysh had gathered intending Al-Medina and urged his^-saww companions upon the Jihad and the going out. Abdullah Bin Abay and a group said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Do not go out from Al-Medina until we fight in its alleyways, so the weak man and the woman and the slaves and the maid will fight with silence upon their mouths, and upon the rooftops. We should not intend (to go after) the people at all for they would be victorious over us, and we (here) are in our fortresses, and our houses, and we should not go out to our enemies at all except that the victory would be for them upon us’.

فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَ غَيْرُهُ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا طَمِعَ فِينَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَ نَحْنُ مُشْرِكُونَ نَعْبُدُ الْأَصْنَامَ فَكَيْفَ يَطْمَعُونَ فِينَا وَ أَنْتَ فِينَا لَا حَتَّى نَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ‏ فَنُقَاتِلَهُمْ فَمَنْ قُتِلَ مِنَّا كَانَ شَهِيداً وَ مَنْ نَجَا مِنَّا كَانَ قَدْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Sa’ad Bin Muaz and others from Al-Aws stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! No one from the Arabs coveted us and we were Polytheists worshipping the idols, so how can they covet us and you^-saww are among us? No, until we go out to them and fight them. So, the one from us who is killed would be a martyr and the one from us who is saved would have fought in the Way of Allah^-azwj’.

فَقَبِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَوْلَهُ وَ خَرَجَ مَعَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَبْتَغُونَ مَوْضِعاً لِلْقِتَالِ‏ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ إِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ إِذْ هَمَّتْ طائِفَتانِ‏ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلا يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ

Rasool-Allah^-saww accepted his words and went out with a number of his^-saww companion seeking a place for the fighting just as Allah^-azwj has Said: And when you went forth early in the morning from your family to assign the Momineen their positions for the fighting; [3:121] – up to His^-azwj Words: When two groups from you had shown cowardice, [3:122] – meaning Abdulla Bin Abay and his companions.

فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَسْكَرَهُ مِمَّا يَلِي طَرِيقَ الْعِرَاقِ‏ وَ قَعَدَ عَنْهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ وَ قَوْمُهُ‏ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ اتَّبَعُوا رَأْيَهُ وَ وَافَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى أُحُدٍ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَدَّ أَصْحَابَهُ وَ كَانُوا سَبْعَمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فَوَضَعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فِي خَمْسِينَ مِنَ الرُّمَاةِ عَلَى بَابِ الشِّعْبِ وَ أَشْفَقَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ كَمِينُهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww took his^-saww army from what follows the road of Al-Iraq, and Abdullah Bin Abay and his companions, and a group from Al-Khazraj following his opinion, sat back from him^-saww. And Quraysh arrived to Ohad, and Rasool-Allah^-saww counted his^-saww companions and they were seven hundred men. He^-saww placed Abdullah Bin Jubeyr among fifty of the archers at the entrance of the mountain pass and feared that their ambush might come from that place.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدْ هَزَمْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ مَكَّةَ فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ وَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ قَدْ هَزَمُونَا حَتَّى أَدْخَلُونَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا وَ الْزَمُوا مَرَاكِزَكُمْ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Abdullah Bin Jubeyr and his companions: ‘Even if you see us to have defeated them until we enter them into Makkah, do not move from this place; and even if you see them to have defeated us until they enter us into Al-Medina, do not move and maintain your positions!’

وَ وَضَعَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّعْنَةُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَيْهِ اللَّعْنَةُ فِي مِائَتَيْ فَارِسٍ كَمِيناً فَقَالَ لَهُ‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُونَا قَدِ اخْتَلَطْنَا بِهِمْ فَاخْرُجُوا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الشِّعْبِ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَتِ الْخَيْلُ وَ اصْطَفُّوا وَ عَبَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَصْحَابَهُ دَفَعَ الرَّايَةَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَحَمَلَتِ‏ الْأَنْصَارُ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى مُشْرِكِي قُرَيْشٍ فَانْهَزَمُوا هَزِيمَةً قَبِيحَةً وَ وَقَعَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي سَوَادِهِمْ ‏

And Abu Sufyan, may Allah^-azwj Curse him, place Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, may Allah^-azwj Curse him, among two hundred horsemen for an ambush, and said to him, ‘When you see us to have mingled with them, then come out against them from this pass until you happen to be from behind them’. When the cavalry came and lined up and mobilised, Rasool-Allah^-saww handed over the flag to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws . The Helpers, all of them attacked upon the Polytheists of Quraysh and defeated them with an ugly defeat, and companions of Rasool-Allah^-azwj fell among their soldiers.

وَ انْحَطَّ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فِي مِائَتَيْ فَارِسٍ فَلَقِيَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلُوهُمْ بِالسِّهَامِ فَرَجَعَ‏ وَ نَظَرَ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَنْتَهِبُونَ‏ سَوَادَ الْقَوْمِ قَالُوا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ مَا يُقِيمُنَا هَاهُنَا وَ قَدْ غَنِمُوا أَصْحَابُنَا وَ نَبْقَى نَحْنُ بِلَا غَنِيمَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ لَا نَبْرَحَ

And Khalid Bin Al-Waleed fell back among two hundred horsemen and met Abdullah Bin Jubeyrs and they were faced with the arrows; and the companions of Abdullah Bin Jubeyr looked at the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww plundering the soldiers of the people. They said to Abdullah Bin Jubeyr, ‘We will not stay over here and our companions are attaining war booty, and we shall remain without any war booty’. Abdullah said to them, ‘Fear Allah^-azwj, for Rasool-Allah^-saww has already told us not to move’.

فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوا مِنْهُ وَ أَقْبَلَ يَنْسَلُّ رَجُلٌ فَرَجُلٌ حَتَّى أَخْلَوْا مَرَاكِزَهُمْ وَ بَقِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ رَايَةُ قُرَيْشٍ مَعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْعَبْدَرِيِّ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ فَبَرَزَ وَ نَادَى يَا مُحَمَّدُ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تُجَهِّزُونَّا بِأَسْيَافِكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ نُجَهِّزُكُمْ بِأَسْيَافِنَا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِجَنَّتِهِ فَلْيَبْرُزْ إِلَيَّ

They did not accept from him and man after man sneaked out until they had vacated their positions, and there remained Abdullah Bin Jubeyr among twelve men, and the flag of Quraysh was with Talha bin Abu Talha Al-Abdary from the clan of Abdul Dar. He came for duel and called out, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! You are claiming that you are preparing us to the Fire with your swords, and we are preparing you to Paradise with our swords? The one who desires to be in Paradise, let him come to duel me!’

فَبَرَزَ إِلَيْهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ

يَا طَلْحُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ كَمَا تَقُولُ		لَكُمْ خُيُولٌ وَ لَنَا نُصُولٌ فَاثْبُتْ لِنَنْظُرَ أَيُّنَا الْمَقْتُولُ
وَ أَيُّنَا أَوْلَى بِمَا تَقُولُ		فَقَدْ أَتَاكَ الْأَسَدُ الصَّئُولُ
بِصَارِمٍ لَيْسَ بِهِ‏ فُلُولٌ		يَنْصُرُهُ الْقَاهِرُ وَ الرَّسُولُ

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws came out to duel him and he^-asws was saying (a poem): ‘O Talha! If you were just as you are saying, for you are the cavalry and for us are the blades. Stay there and let us see which one of us is the killed one, and which one of us is foremost with what you are saying, for the raging lion has come to you with severity, there not being broken sword with him. The Subduer and the Rasool^-saww help him’.

فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلَامُ قَالَ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا قُضَمُ‏ أَنَّهُ لَا يَجْسُرُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ طَلْحَةُ فَضَرَبَهُ فَاتَّقَاهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِالْحَجَفَةِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهُ‏ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ فَقَطَعَهُمَا جَمِيعاً فَسَقَطَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ فَذَهَبَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لِيُجْهِزَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَلَّفَهُ بِالرَّحِمِ‏

Talha said, ‘Who are you, O boy!’ He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws am Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws!’ He said, ‘I know you^-asws, O biter! No one is audacious upon me apart from you^-asws’. Talha pounced upon him^-asws and struck him^-asws. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws saved it with the shield. Then Amir Al-Momineen^-asws struck him upon his thighs and cut them both off and he fell upon his back, and the flag fell. Ali^-asws went to finish him off, but he vowed with the mercy (in prose).

للّه اي مذبذب عن حرمة		اعنى ابن فاطمة المعم المخولا
جادت يداك لهم بعاجل طعنة		فتركت طلحة للجبين مجدلا
و شددت شدة باسل فكشفتهم‏		بالجر اذ يهوون أخول أخولا
و عللت سيفك بالدماء و لم تكن‏		لترده حران حتّى ينهلا

‘For Allah, what a defender you are of his sanctity! I mean the son of Fatimah, noble through both his paternal and maternal uncles. Your hands dealt them a swift thrust, and you left Talhah fallen upon his forehead on the ground. You charged with the charge of a valiant warrior and scattered them, as they fell one after another in flight. You gave your sword its fill of blood, and you would not return it while it was still thirsty, until it had drunk its fill’.

فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَ لَا أَجْهَزْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ قَدْ ضَرَبْتُهُ ضَرْبَةً لَا يَعِيشُ مِنْهَا أَبَداً ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سَقَطَتْ رَايَتُهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا مُسَافِعُ‏ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا عُزَيْرُ بْنُ‏ عُثْمَانَ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَمِيلَةَ بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ فَقَتَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ

He^-asws turned away from him. The Muslims said, ‘You did not finish him off?’ He^-asws said, ‘I^-asws have struck him with such a strike he will not live from it, ever!’ Then Abu Saeed Bin Abu Talha grabbed the flag, and Ali^-asws killed him, and his flag fell to the ground. Usman Bin Abu Talha grabbed it, and Ali^-asws killed him and the flag fell to the ground. Then Musafie bin Abu Talha grabbed it, and Ali^-asws killed him and the flag fell to the ground. Then Al-Haris Bin Abu Talha grabbed it, and Ali^-asws killed him and the flag fell to the ground. Then Uzeyr Bin Usman grabbed it and Ali^-asws killed him and the flag fell to the ground. Then Abdullah Bin Jameela bin Zuhayr grabbed it and Ali^-asws killed him and the flag fell to the ground.

فَقَتَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ التَّاسِعَ‏ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ وَ هُوَ أَرْطَأَةُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ مُبَارَزَةً وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا مَوْلَاهُمْ صُؤَابٌ فَضَرَبَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَقَطَعَهَا وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخَذَهَا بِشِمَالِهِ فَضَرَبَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَقَطَعَهَا فَسَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَاحْتَضَنَهَا بِيَدَيْهِ الْمَقْطُوعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ هَلْ أَعْذَرْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ فَضَرَبَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ‏ وَ سَقَطَتِ الرَّايَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws killed the ninth from the clan of Abdul Dar, and he was Artat Bin Shurjeel in a duel and the flag fell to the ground. Suwab, a slave of theirs grabbed it and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws struck him upon his right hand and cut it, and the flag fell to the ground. So, he grabbed it with his left hand, and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws struck upon his left hand and cut it, and the flag fell to the ground. He hugged it with his two cut hands, then said, O clan of Abd Al-Dar! Is there any excuse between me and you?’ Amir Al-Momineen^-asws struck him upon his head and killed him, and the flag fell to the ground.

فَأَخَذَتْهَا عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ الْحَارِثِيَّةُ فَنَصَبَتْهَا وَ انْحَطَّ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَ قَدْ فَرَّ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ بَقِيَ فِي نَفَرٍ قَلِيلٍ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ عَلَى بَابِ الشِّعْبِ وَ اسْتَقْفُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَضَعُوا فِيهِمُ السَّيْفَ وَ نَظَرَتْ قُرَيْشٌ‏ فِي هَزِيمَتِهَا إِلَى الرَّايَةِ قَدْ رُفِعَتْ فَلَاذُوا بِهَا وَ أَقْبَلَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَقْتُلُهُمْ‏ وَ انْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص هَزِيمَةً قَبِيحَةً وَ أَقْبَلُوا يَصْعَدُونَ فِي الْجِبَالِ وَ فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ

Then Amarah Bint Alqama grabbed it and installed it; and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed fell back to Abdullah Bin Jubeyr and his companions had fled and he remained among a small number, and he fought them at the entrance of the pass, and the Muslims paused, and he placed the sword among them; and Quraysh looked during their defeat at the flag which had been raised and they derived pleasure by it; and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed came and killed them (Muslims) and defeated the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww with an ugly defeat, and they turned around climbing in the mountain and in every direction.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْهَزِيمَةَ كَشَفَ الْبَيْضَةَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ‏ إِلَيَّ إِنِّي‏ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَفِرُّونَ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww saw the defeat, he uncovered the helmet from his^-saww head and said: ‘Come back to me^-saww! Come back to me^-saww! I^-saww am Rasool-Allah^-saww. To where are you fleeing, from Allah^-azwj and from His^-azwj Rasool^-saww?’

وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ مَعْنَى قَوْلِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ لَمَّا بَارَزَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا قُضَمُ

And my father narrated to me, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having been asked about the meaning of the words of Talha Bin Abu Talha when he duelled Ali^-asws, ‘O Biter!’

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ لَمْ يَجْسُرْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ لِمَوْضِعِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أَغْرَوْا بِهِ الصِّبْيَانَ وَ كَانُوا إِذَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَرْمُونَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَ التُّرَابِ وَ شَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا خَرَجْتَ فَأَخْرِجْنِي مَعَكَ

He^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww was at Makkah and no one would dare to be against him^-saww due to the position of Abu Talib^-asws. They lured the young boys that whenever Rasool-Allah^-saww comes out they should throw stones and dirt at him^-saww. He^-saww complained about that to Ali^-asws who said: ‘May my^-asws father^-as and my^-asws mother be sacrificed for you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Whenever you^-saww go out, so bring me^-asws out along with you^-saww’.

فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَعَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَتَعَرَّضَ الصِّبْيَانُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَعَادَتِهِمْ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ كَانَ يَقْضَمُهُمْ‏ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ وَ آنَافِهِمْ وَ آذَانِهِمْ فَكَانَ الصِّبْيَانُ يَرْجِعُونَ بَاكِينَ إِلَى آبَائِهِمْ وَ يَقُولُونَ قَضِمَنَا عَلِيٌّ قَضِمَنَا عَلِيٌ فَسُمِّيَ لِذَلِكَ الْقُضَمَ‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww went out, and with him^-saww was Amir-Al-Momineen^-asws . The young boys presented themselves to Rasool-Allah^-saww as was their habit. Amir-Al-Momineen^-asws attacked them and was biting them in their faces, and their necks and their ears. And the young boys were returning back to their fathers crying and saying: ‘Ali^-asws has bitten us, Ali^-asws has bitten us! Due to that he^-asws was named as ‘The Biter’’.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي وَاثِلَةَ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُمَاشِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ هَمْهَمَةً فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَهْ يَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أَ مَا تَرَى الْهِزَبْرَ الْقُثَمَ بْنَ الْقُثَمِ وَ الضَّارِبَ بِالْبُهَمِ الشَّدِيدَ عَلَى مَنْ طَغَا وَ بَغَى‏ بِالسَّيْفَيْنِ وَ الرَّايَةِ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا عُمَرُ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

And it is reported from Abu Wasila Shaqeeq Bin Salama who said, ‘I was a walking companions of Umar Bin Al-Khattab when I heard the humming from him, so I said to him, ‘Shh O Umar’. He said, ‘Woe be unto you! But do you not see the generous lion son^-asws of the generous one and the striker with the beastly severity the one who transgresses and rebels with the two swords and the flag’. I turned around and there was Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws. I said to him, ‘O Umar! He^-asws  is Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws’.

فَقَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي أُحَدِّثْكَ عَنْ شَجَاعَتِهِ وَ بَطَالَتِهِ‏ بَايَعْنَا النَّبِيَّ ص يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ وَ مَنْ فَرَّ مِنَّا فَهُوَ ضَالٌّ وَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنَّا فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَ النَّبِيُّ ص زَعِيمُهُ إِذْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْنَا مِائَةُ صِنْدِيدٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ صِنْدِيدٍ مِائَةُ رَجُلٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ فَأَزْعَجُونَا عَنْ طَاحُونَتِنَا فَرَأَيْتُ عَلِيّاً كَاللَّيْثِ يَتَّقِي الذَّرَّ إِذْ قَدْ حَمَلَ كَفّاً مِنْ حَصًى فَرَمَى بِهِ فِي وُجُوهِنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ وَ قُطَّتْ وَ بُطَّتْ وَ لُطَّتْ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَفِرُّونَ إِلَى النَّارِ

He said, ‘Come near me and I shall narrate to you about his^-asws bravery and his^-asws heroism. We pledged allegiance to the Prophet^-saww on the day of Ohad that we will not flee, and the one from us who flees would have strayed, and the one from us who is killed so he would be a martyr, and the Prophet^-saww was his^-asws leader when one hundred brave ones attacked us, under each brave one being one hundred men or more. They bothered us, and I saw Ali^-asws like the lion, and he^-asws grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw it in our faces, then said, ‘May the face be ugly, and blackened, and covered and smeared, to where are you fleeing? To the Fire!’

فَلَمْ نَرْجِعْ ثُمَّ كَرَّ عَلَيْنَا الثَّانِيَةَ وَ بِيَدِهِ صَفِيحَةٌ يَقْطُرُ مِنْهَا الْمَوْتُ فَقَالَ بَايَعْتُمْ ثُمَّ نَكَسْتُمْ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى بِالْقَتْلِ مِمَّنْ أَقْتُلُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُمَا سَلِيطَانِ يَتَوَقَّدَانِ نَاراً أَوْ كَالْقَدَحَيْنِ الْمَمْلُوَّيْنِ دَماً فَمَا ظَنَنْتُ إِلَّا وَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا كُلِّنَا فَبَادَرْتُ أَنَا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصْحَابِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ الْعَرَبَ تَفِرُّ وَ تَكُرُّ وَ إِنَّ الْكَرَّةَ تَنْفِي الْفَرَّةَ

But we did not return. Then he^-asws reiterated upon us secondly and in his^-asws hand was a tray with the death dripping from it. He^-asws said: ‘You pledge allegiance then break it? By Allah^-azwj, you are foremost with the killing than the ones I^-asws have already killed’. I looked at his^-asws eyes and it is as if they were two objects emitting fire, or like two cups filled with tears. I did not think except that he^-asws would come upon all of us, so I rushed towards him^-asws from between my companions and said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan^-asws! Allah^-azwj, Allah^-azwj! The Arabs flee repeatedly, and the world benefits the fleer’.

فَكَأَنَّهُ اسْتَحْيَا فَوَلَّى بِوَجْهِهِ عَنِّي فَمَا زِلْتُ أُسَكِّنُ رَوْعَةَ فُؤَادِي فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا خَرَجَ ذَلِكَ الرُّعْبُ مِنْ قَلْبِي حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَبُو دُجَانَةَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ كُلَّمَا حَمَلَتْ طَائِفَةٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص اسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَيَدْفَعُهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ يَقْتُلُهُمْ حَتَّى انْقَطَعَ سَيْفُهُ

It was as if he^-asws was embarrassed and turned his^-asws face away from me. I did not cease to try and subside the fear in my heart. By Allah^-azwj. Thatfear has not come out from my heart until this time. And there did not remain with Rasool-Allah^-saww except Abu Dajjana Simak Bin Kharsha and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws; and every time a group attacked on Rasool-Allah^-saww, Amir Al-Momineen^-asws faced up to them and repelled them from Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he^-asws kept killing them until his^-asws sword broke.

وَ بَقِيَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص نَسِيبَةُ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ الْمَازِنِيَّةُ وَ كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي غَزَوَاتِهِ تُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى وَ كَانَ ابْنُهَا مَعَهَا فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْهَزِمَ وَ يَتَرَاجَعَ فَحَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَفِرُّ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ فَرَدَّتْهُ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَخَذَتْ سَيْفَ ابْنِهَا فَحَمَلَتْ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَضَرَبَتْهُ‏ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَقَالَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَارَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ يَا نَسِيبَةُ

And there remained with Rasool-Allah^-saww Naseyba Bint Ka’ab Al-Maziya, and she had been coming out with Rasool-Allah^-saww during his^-saww military expeditions to heal the injured, and her son was with her, and he was defeated and intended to retreat, but she confronted him and said, ‘O my son, to where are you fleeing, from Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww?’ and returned him. A man attacked upon him and killed him. She grabbed a sword of her son and attacked the man and struck him upon his thing and killed him. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘May Allah^-azwj Bless you, O Naseyba!’

وَ كَانَتْ تَقِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِصَدْرِهَا وَ ثَدْيَيْهَا حَتَّى أَصَابَتْهَا جِرَاحَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَ حَمَلَ ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ أَرُونِي مُحَمَّداً لَا نَجَوْتُ إِنْ نَجَا فَضَرَبَهُ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ وَ نَادَى قَتَلْتُ مُحَمَّداً وَ اللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى

And she kept saving Rasool-Allah^-saww by her chest and her breasts until a lot of injuries hit her, and Ibn Qamiya attacked upon Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘Show me Muhammad^-saww! There is no survival if he^-saww survives’. He struck him upon his shoulder and called out, ‘I have killed Muhammad^-saww, by Al-Laat and Al-Uzza (two idols)!’

وَ نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَدْ أَلْقَى تُرْسَهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ وَ هُوَ فِي الْهَزِيمَةِ فَنَادَاهُ يَا صَاحِبَ التُّرْسِ أَلْقِ تُرْسَكَ وَ مُرَّ إِلَى النَّارِ فَرَمَى بِتُرْسِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا نَسِيبَةُ خُذِي التُّرْسَ فَأَخَذَتِ التُّرْسَ وَ كَانَتْ تُقَاتِلُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَمَقَامُ نَسِيبَةَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مَقَامِ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ

And Rasool-Allah^-saww looked at a man from the Emigrants who had cast his shield behind his back, and he was in the defeat. He^-saww said to him, ‘O one with the shield! Throw away your shield and pass to the Fire’. He threw down his shield, and Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Naseyba! Take the shield’. She took the shield and fought the Polytheists. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘The status of Naseyba is superior than the position of so and so, and so and so, and so and so’.

فَلَمَّا انْقَطَعَ سَيْفُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ بِالسِّلَاحِ وَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ سَيْفِي فَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَيْفَهُ ذَا الْفَقَارِ فَقَالَ قَاتِلْ بِهَذَا وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلَهُ‏ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَإِذَا رَأَوْهُ رَجَعُوا

When the sword of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws broke, he^-asws came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The man fights with the weapon, and my^-asws sword is broken’. So, Rasool-Allah^-saww handed over his^-saww sword Zulfiqar and said: ‘Fight with this’, and no one happened to attack upon Rasool-Allah^-saww except Amir Al-Momineen^-asws faced up to him, and when he saw him^-asws, he would return.

فَانْحَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ أُحُدٍ فَوَقَفَ وَ كَانَ الْقِتَالُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ قَدِ انْهَزَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى أَصَابَهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ رَأْسِهِ وَ صَدْرِهِ وَ بَطْنِهِ وَ يَدَيْهِ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ تِسْعُونَ جِرَاحَةً فَتَحَامَوْهُ‏ وَ سَمِعُوا مُنَادِياً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ

Rasool-Allah^-saww went to a side in a corner of Ohad and stopped, and he^-saww was fighting from one direction, and his^-saww companions had been defeated. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws did not cease fighting them until he^-asws was hit in his^-asws face, and his^-asws head, and his^-asws chest, and his^-asws belly, and his^-asws hands, and his^-asws legs with ninety injuries, and he^-asws kept defending him^-saww, and a caller was heard calling out from the sky: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws!”

فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ وَ اللَّهِ الْمُوَاسَاةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَنِّي مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ مِنِّي فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا

Jibraeel^-as descended unto Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! By Allah^-azwj this is the solace’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Because I^-saww am from him^-asws and he^-asws is from me^-saww’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as am from you^-asws both’.

وَ كَانَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ فِي وَسَطِ الْعَسْكَرِ فَكُلَّمَا انْهَزَمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ دَفَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ مِيلًا وَ مُكْحُلَةً وَ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ امْرَأَةٌ فَاكْتَحِلْ بِهَذَا

And Hind Bint Utba was in the midst of the army and every time a man from Quraysh was defeated, she would hand over a needle to him and some Kohl and said, ‘But, you are a woman, so apply Kohl with this’.

وَ كَانَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَإِذَا رَأَوْهُ انْهَزَمُوا وَ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ لَهُ أَحَدٌ وَ كَانَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ عَلَيْهَا اللَّعْنَةُ قَدْ أَعْطَتْ وَحْشِيّاً عَهْداً لَئِنْ قَتَلْتَ مُحَمَّداً أَوْ عَلِيّاً أَوْ حَمْزَةَ لَأَعْطَيْتُكَ [لَأُعْطِيَنَّكَ‏] رِضَاكَ وَ كَانَ وَحْشِيٌّ عَبْداً لِجُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ حَبَشِيّاً فَقَالَ وَحْشِيٌّ أَمَّا مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَرَأَيْتُهُ رَجُلًا حَذِراً كَثِيرَ الِالْتِفَاتِ فَلَمْ أَطْمَعْ فِيهِ فَكَمَنْتُ لِحَمْزَةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَهُدُّ النَّاسَ هَدّاً

And Hamza^-asws was attacking upon the people when the defeated ones saw him^-asws, and no one could stand up to him^-asws, and Hind Bint Utba, may the Curse be upon her, had given a pact to a savage (her slave), ‘If you were to kill Muhammad^-saww, or Ali^-asws, or Hamza^-asws, I shall grant you your pleasure’, and the savage was an Ethiopian slave of Al-Jubeyr Bin Mut’am. The savage said, ‘As for Muhammad^-saww, I am not able upon him^-saww, and as for Ali^-asws, I see him^-asws as a cautious man of a lot of looking around, so I cannot covet regarding him^-asws. I shall ambush Hamza^-asws, as I see him^-asws guiding the people with guidance.

فَمَرَّ بِي فَوَطِئَ عَلَى جُرُفِ‏ نَهَرٍ فَسَقَطَ فَأَخَذْتُ حَرْبَتِي فَهَزَزْتُهَا وَ رَمَيْتُهُ فَوَقَعَتْ فِي خَاصِرَتِهِ وَ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ مَثَانَتِهِ‏ فَسَقَطَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَشَقَقْتُ بَطْنَهُ فَأَخَذْتُ كَبِدَهُ وَ جِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى هِنْدٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا هَذِهِ كَبِدُ حَمْزَةَ فَأَخَذَتْهَا فِي فَمِهَا فَلَاكَتْهَا فَجَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ فِي فِيهَا مِثْلَ الدَّاغِصَةِ فَلَفَظَتْهَا وَ رَمَتْ‏ بِهَا فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَكاً فَحَمَلَهُ وَ رَدَّهُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ

He passed by and trod upon the edge of a cliff, grabbed his spear and threw it, and it fell into his^-asws waist and came out from his^-asws bladder, and he^-asws fell down. He came to him^-asws and split open his^-asws belly and took out his^-asws liver and came with it to Hind and said to her, ‘This is the liver of Hamza^-asws’. She took it into her mouth and split it and Allah^-azwj Made the like of the knee bone in her mouth, and she spat out with it. Allah^-azwj Sent an Angel who carried it and returned it to its place.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَبَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ بَدَنِ حَمْزَةَ النَّارَ

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Refused to enter anything from the body of Hamza^-asws into the Fire’.

فَجَاءَتْ إِلَيْهِ هِنْدٌ فَقَطَعَتْ مَذَاكِيرَهُ وَ قَطَعَتْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَ جَعَلَتْهُمَا خُرْصَيْنِ‏ وَ شَدَّتْهُمَا فِي عُنُقِهَا وَ قَطَعَتْ يَدَيْهِ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ تَرَاجَعَ النَّاسُ فَصَارَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ هُوَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ اعْلُ هُبَلُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قُلْ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ. فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُنْعِمَ عَلَيْنَا. فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ بَلِ اللَّهُ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْنَا

Hind came to him^-asws and cut off his^-asws limbs and cut off his^-asws ears and made them to be as two pendants, and tied them in her neck, and cut off his^-asws hands and his^-asws legs. And the people returned and Quraysh came to the mountain. Abu Sufyan said, and he was upon the mountain, ‘Lofty is Hobal (an idol)!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: ‘Say to him: ‘Allah^-azwj is Loftier and more Majestic!’ He said, ‘O Ali^-asws! He (Hobal) has conferred upon us’. Ali^-asws said: ‘But Allah^-azwj has Conferred upon us’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى هَلْ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَعَنَكَ اللَّهُ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّاتَ وَ الْعُزَّى مَعَكَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا قُتِلَ وَ هُوَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكَ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَصْدَقُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ ابْنَ قَمِيئَةَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ مُحَمَّداً

Then he said, ‘O Ali^-asws! I ask you by Al-Laat and Al-Uzza (two idols), has Muhammad^-saww been killed?’ He^-asws said to him: ‘May Allah^-azwj Curse you, and Curse Al-Laat and Al-Uzza. By Allah^-azwj, Muhammad^-saww had not been killed, and he^-saww is listening to your speech’. He said, ‘You are truthful. May Allah^-azwj Curse Ibn Qamiya who claimed that he had killed Muhammad^-saww.

وَ كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ‏ قَدْ تَأَخَّرَ إِسْلَامُهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحَرْبِ أَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَ تُرْسَهُ وَ أَقْبَلَ كَاللَّيْثِ الْعَادِي يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ خَالَطَ الْقَوْمَ فَاسْتُشْهِدَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَرَآهُ صَرِيعاً بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى فَقَالَ يَا عَمْرُو وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى دِينِكَ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ

And Amro Bin Qays had delayed his Islam. When it reached him that Rasool-Allah^-saww is in the war, he grabbed his sword and his shield and came like the roaring lion saying, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and Muhammad^-saww is Rasool-Allah^-saww’. Then he mingled with the people and was martyred. A man from the Helpers passed by him and saw him fighting with the death. He said, ‘O Amro! And are you upon your former religion?’ He said, ‘No, by Allah^-azwj! I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and Muhammad^-saww is Rasool-Allah^-saww’. Then he died.

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ ثَابِتٍ‏ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ وَ قُتِلَ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ شَهِيدٌ مَا رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُصَلِّ لِلَّهِ رَكْعَةً دَخَلَ‏ الْجَنَّةَ غَيْرَهُ

A man from the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Amro Bin Sabit became a Muslim and was killed, so he is a martyr’. He^-saww said: ‘Yes, by Allah^-azwj, a martyr. There is no man who did not pray a single Cycle of Salat to Allah^-azwj and enter Paradise apart from him’.

وَ كَانَ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ رجل [رَجُلًا] مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ تَزَوَّجَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ صَبِيحَتَهَا حَرْبُ أُحُدٍ بِبِنْتِ‏ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ وَ دَخَلَ بِهَا فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَهَا

And Hanzala Bin Abu Aamir was a man from Al-Khazraj who had got married during that night the morning of which was the battle of Ohad, to a daughter of Abdullah Bin Abay Bin Saloul, and he copulated with her during that night, and Rasool-Allah^-saww had permitted him to stay with her.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ إِذا كانُوا مَعَهُ عَلى‏ أَمْرٍ جامِعٍ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا حَتَّى يَسْتَأْذِنُوهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ فَإِذَا اسْتَأْذَنُوكَ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِهِمْ فَأْذَنْ لِمَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ‏

Allah^-azwj Revealed: But rather, the Mominoun are those who believe in Allah and His Rasool, and whenever they were with him on a collective matter, they do not go away until they seek his permission. Surely those who are seeking your permission, they are those who believe in Allah and His Rasool. When they seek your permission for some of their occupations, then give permission to ones you like to from them, [24:62].

فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي سُورَةِ النُّورِ وَ أَخْبَارُ أُحُدٍ فِي سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ فَهَذَا الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ التَّأْلِيفَ عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ

Rasool-Allah^-saww permitted for him, and this Verse in Surah Al-Noor and its information is in Surah Aal-e-Imran. Thus, this evidences upon that the composition is upon differently to what Allah^-azwj Revealed.

فَدَخَلَ حَنْظَلَةُ بِأَهْلِهِ وَ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَصْبَحَ وَ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ فَحَضَرَ الْقِتَالَ فَبَعَثَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَمَّا أَرَادَ حَنْظَلَةُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا وَ أَشْهَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَاقَعَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهَا لِمَ فَعَلْتِ ذَلِكِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي نَوْمِي كَأَنَّ السَّمَاءَ قَدِ انْفَرَجَتْ فَوَقَعَ فِيهَا حَنْظَلَةُ ثُمَّ انْضَمَّتْ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهَا الشَّهَادَةُ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ لَا أُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَمَلَتْ مِنْهُ

Hanzala entered to be with his wife and consummated with her. He woke up in the morning and went out, and he was with sexual impurity. He attended the fighting. His wife sent a message to four persons from Al-Ansar, when Hanzala intended to go out from her presence, and she testified upon him that he had copulated with her. It was said to her, ‘He did not do that’. She said, ‘I saw in my dream during this night as if the sky had been cleft asunder and Hanzala fell in it, and it joined up, so I knew he had been martyred, so I disliked it not to keep witnessed upon him and I become pregnant from him.

فَلَمَّا حَضَ الْقِتَالَ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ يَجُولُ بَيْنَ الْعَسْكَرِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَ‏ عُرْقُوبَ فَرَسِهِ فَاكْتَسَعَتِ الْفَرَسُ وَ سَقَطَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ صَاحَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ أَنَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ هَذَا حَنْظَلَةُ يُرِيدُ قَتْلِي وَ عَدَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ مَرَّ حَنْظَلَةُ فِي طَلَبِهِ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَطَعَنَهُ فَمَشَى إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِ فِي طَعْنِهِ‏ فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ وَ سَقَطَ حَنْظَلَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ بَيْنَ حَمْزَةَ وَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ وَ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ

When he attended the fighting, he looked at Abu Sufyan upon a horse wandering between the soldiers, and he attacked upon him and struck the hamstring of his horse, and the horse rolled over and Abu Sufyan fell down to the ground and shouted, ‘O community of Quraysh! I am Abu Sufyan, and this Hanzala wants to kill me’.  And Abu Sufyan returned and Hanzala passed by in his pursuit. A man from the Polytheists presented to him and stabbed him, and he walked towards the Polytheist during his stabbing and struck him, and killed him and Hanzala fell down to the ground between Hamza^-asws and Amro bin Al-Jamouh and Abdullah Bin Hizam and a group of the Helpers.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَأَيْتُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَغْسِلُ حَنْظَلَةَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ بِمَاءِ الْمُزْنِ فِي صَحَائِفَ‏ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَكَانَ يُسَمَّى غَسِيلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww saw the angels washing Hanzala between the sky and the earth with water of the cloud in a golden tray’, and he was named as ‘One washed by the Angels’.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ مُغِيرَةَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ كَانَ رَجُلًا أَعْسَرَ فَحَمَلَ‏ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إِلَى أُحُدٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْجَارٍ فَقَالَ بِهَذِهِ أَقْتُلُ مُحَمَّداً فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الْقِتَالَ نَظَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بِيَدِهِ السَّيْفُ فَرَمَاهُ‏ بِحَجَرٍ فَأَصَابَ بِهِ‏ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالَ قَتَلْتُهُ وَ اللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَذَبَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ

And it is reported that Mugheira Bin Al-Aas was a left-handed man, and he carried three stones in his way to Ohad and said, ‘With these I shall kill Muhammad^-saww’. When the fighting presented, he looked at Rasool-Allah^-saww and the sword was in his^-saww hand. He threw the stones and hit Rasool-Allah^-saww with it, and the sword fell down from his^-saww hand. He said, ‘By Al-Laat and Al-Uzza! I have killed him^-saww’. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Liar, may Allah^-azwj Curse him!’

فَرَمَاهُ بِحَجَرٍ آخَرَ فَأَصَابَ جَبْهَتَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ حَيِّرْهُ فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَ النَّاسُ تَحَيَّرَ فَلَحِقَهُ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَقَتَلَهُ وَ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ابْنِ قَمِيئَةَ الشَّجَرَ فَكَانَ يَمُرُّ بِالشَّجَرِ فَيَقَعُ فِي وَسَطِهَا فَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى صَارَ مِثْلَ الصِّرِّ وَ مَاتَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ

He pelted him^-saww with another stone and it hit his^-saww forehead. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj, Confuse him!’ When the people were exposed, he was confused. Ammar Bin Yasser^-ra faced him and killed him, and Allah^-azwj Made the tree to overcome upon Ibn Qamiya, and he was passing by with the tree and fell in its midst, and it took from his flesh. He did not cease to be like that until he became like the scrapped, and died, may Allah^-azwj Curse him.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلْقَوْهُ‏ فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالَّذِي فَعَلَ بِشُهَدَائِهِمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ مَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ رَغِبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنَا قِتَالًا نَسْتَشْهِدُ فِيهِ فَأَرَاهُمُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَلَمْ يَثْبُتُوا إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ‏ الْآيَةَ

And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding His^-azwj Words: And you were desiring the death before you met it, [3:143]. ‘The Momineen, when Allah^-azwj Informed them of how He^-azwj would be Dealing with their martyrs on the Day of Badr, and their status in Paradise, they longed for that. They said, ‘Our Allah^-azwj! Show us battles that we would be martyred by’. Allah^-azwj Showed them the Day of Ohad. But they were not steadfast except for the one whom Allah^-azwj so Desired from among them, and that is in His^-azwj Words And you were desiring death before you met it [3:143] – the Verse’’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ فَأَثابَكُمْ غَمًّا بِغَمٍ‏ فَأَمَّا الْغَمُّ الْأَوَّلُ فَالْهَزِيمَةُ وَ الْقَتْلُ وَ الْغَمُّ الْآخِرُ فَإِشْرَافُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَيْهِمْ يَقُولُ‏ لِكَيْلا تَحْزَنُوا عَلى‏ ما فاتَكُمْ‏ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ وَ لا ما أَصابَكُمْ‏ يَعْنِي قَتْلَ إِخْوَانِهِمْ‏ وَ اللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِ‏ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْهَزِيمَةَ

And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding His^-azwj Words: So, He Gave you sorrow with a sorrow [3:153], said: ‘As for the first sorrow, so it is the defeat and the killing. And as for the other (sorrow), so it was the supervision of Khalid Bin Waleed against them. He^-azwj is Saying lest you would be grieving upon what you lost from the war booty, and not what befell you meaning the killing of your brethren, Allah is well-Informed with what you are doing [3:153] Then He Sent down upon you after the sorrow, he^-asws said: ‘Meaning the defeat’.

وَ تَرَاجَعَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الْمَجْرُوحُونَ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ فَأَقْبَلُوا يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعَرِّفَ رَسُولَهُ ص مَنِ الصَّادِقُ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنِ الْكَاذِبُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ النُّعَاسَ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالَةِ حَتَّى كَانُوا يَسْقُطُونَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ كَانَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ الَّذِينَ يَكْذِبُونَ لَا يَسْتَقِرُّونَ قَدْ طَارَتْ عُقُولُهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِكَلَامٍ لَا يُفْهَمُ عَنْهُمْ

And the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww returned, the injured ones and others, and they came back presenting excuses to Rasool-Allah^-saww. Allah^-azwj Loved to Make His^-azwj Rasool^-saww recognise who from them is the truthful and who is the liar, so Allah^-azwj Sent down the lethargy upon them in that state until they were falling down to the ground, and the hypocrites, those who were lying, were not calm. Their intellect had flown away, and they were talking with speech, which could not be understood from them.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ يَغْشى‏ طائِفَةً مِنْكُمْ‏ يَعْنِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ وَ طائِفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ لَنا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ يُخْفُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ ما لا يُبْدُونَ لَكَ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كانَ لَنا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ ما قُتِلْنا هاهُنا يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كُنَّا فِي بُيُوتِنَا مَا أَصَابَنَا الْقَتْلُ

enveloping a party from you – meaning the Momineen, and a group had worried themselves thinking ignorant thoughts with Allah without right. They are saying, ‘Is there anything for us from the matter?’. Allah^-azwj Said to Muhammad^-saww: Say: The matter, all of it is for Allah’.  They are concealing within themselves what they are not manifesting to you. They are saying, ‘If there was something for us from the matter, we would not have been killed over here’. – They were saying, ‘If we had been in our homes, the killing would not have afflicted us’.

قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلى‏ مَضاجِعِهِمْ وَ لِيَبْتَلِيَ اللَّهُ ما فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَ لِيُمَحِّصَ ما فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ فَأَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِ الْقَوْمِ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ مُؤْمِناً وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ مُنَافِقاً كَاذِباً بِالنُّعَاسِ

Allah^-azwj Said: ‘Had you remained in your houses, those upon whom being killed was Ordained would have gone forth to their spots of death, and for Allah to Test what is in your chests and for Him to Purge what is in your hearts; and Allah Knows the contents of the chests’ [3:154]. Thus, Allah^-azwj Informed His^-azwj Rasool^-saww what was in the hearts of the people, and the one from them who was a Momin and the one from them who was a hypocrite, a liar with the lethargy.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلى‏ ما أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَمِيزَ الْخَبِيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ‏^[12] يَعْنِي الْمُنَافِقَ الْكَاذِبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الصَّادِقِ بِالنُّعَاسِ الَّذِي مَيَّزَ بَيْنَهُمْ

Allah^-azwj Revealed unto him^-saww: Allah was not going to leave the Momineen to what you are upon presently until He Distinguishes the bad from the good [3:179] – meaning the hypocrite, the liar, from the Momin, the truthful, by the lethargy which distinguished between them’’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ ما كانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَ‏ فَصَدَقَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ نَبِيّاً غَالًّا وَ مَنْ يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِما غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ مَنْ غَلَ‏ شَيْئاً رَآهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي النَّارِ ثُمَّ يُكَلَّفُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ إِلَيْهِ فَيُخْرِجَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لا يُظْلَمُونَ

And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding His^-azwj Words: And it was not for a Prophet that he should embezzle [3:161], said: ‘Thus, Allah^-azwj Spoke the Truth. It cannot happen for Allah^-azwj that He^-azwj would Send a Prophet^-as who is an embezzler Whosever embezzles will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Judgement. And the one who embezzles a thing would see it in the Fire on the Day of Judgement, then he would be encumbered to enter into it and retrieve it from the Fire, then shall every soul be Paid back fully what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly [3:161]’’.

قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعالَوْا قاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏ فَهُمْ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ مُنَافِقٍ رَجَعُوا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللَّهَ فِي نَبِيِّكُمْ وَ دِينِكُمْ وَ دِيَارِكُمْ فَقَالُوا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَكُونُ الْقِتَالُ الْيَوْمَ وَ لَوْ نَعْلَمُ‏ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ‏ قِتالًا لَاتَّبَعْناكُمْ‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ‏ هُمْ لِلْكُفْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنْهُمْ لِلْإِيمانِ‏ الْآيَةَ

His^-azwj Words: and it was said to them: ‘Come, fight in in the Way of Allah, – they were three hundred hypocrites returning with Abdullah Bin Ubay Bin Saloul. Jabir Bin Abdullah said to them, ‘I adjure you with Allah^-azwj regarding your Prophet^-saww and your Religion and your houses’. They said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! No fighting will take place today, and If we knew fighting, would take place, we would have followed you’. Allah^-azwj Said:  They were on that day much closer to Kufr than the Eman. [3:168] – the Verse.

فَلَمَّا سَكَنَ الْقِتَالُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ لَهُ عِلْمٌ بِسَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا أَطْلُبُهُ فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فَقَالَ اطْلُبْهُ‏ هُنَاكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ قَدْ شُرِّعَتْ حَوْلَهُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رُمْحاً

When the fighting subsided, Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Who has any knowledge of S’ad Bin Al-Rabie?’ A man said, ‘I shall seek him’. Rasool-Allah^-saww gestured towards a place and said: ‘Seek him over there, for I^-saww had seen him in that place, twelve spearmen had surrounded him’.

قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ فَإِذَا هُوَ صَرِيعٌ بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى فَقُلْتُ يَا سَعْدُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا سَعْدُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا سَعْدُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ سَأَلَ عَنْكَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَانْتَعَشَ كَمَا يَنْتَعِشُ الْفَرْخُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَحَيٌّ قُلْتُ إِي وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَحَيٌّ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى حَوْلَكَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رُمْحاً

He said, ‘I came to that place and there he was rolling between the dead. I said, ‘O Sa’ad!’ But he did not answer me. Then I said, ‘O Sa’ad!’ But he did not answer me. I said, ‘O Sa’ad! Rasool-Allah^-saww has asked about you’. He raised his hand and recovered as the chicks recover, then said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww is alive?’ I said, ‘Yes, by Allah^-azwj, he^-saww is alive, and has informed me that he^-saww had seen twelve spearmen around you’.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ طُعِنْتُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ طَعْنَةً كُلُّهَا قَدْ جَافَتْنِي‏ أَبْلِغْ قَوْمِيَ الْأَنْصَارَ السَّلَامَ وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عُذْرٌ أَنْ تَشُوكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص شَوْكَةٌ وَ فِيكُمْ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ ثُمَّ تَنَفَّسَ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ دَمِ الْجَزُورِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ احْتَقَنَ فِي جَوْفِهِ وَ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

He said, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj! Rasool-Allah^-saww spoke the truth. Twelver spearmen had stabbed me. All of them had betrayed me. Deliver to my people, the helpers of Islam, and say to them, ‘By Allah^-azwj! There is no excuse for you all in the Presence of Allah^-azwj if you were to even touch Rasool-Allah^-saww with a thorn even for the blink of an eye’. Then he breathed (his last), and there came out from him like the blood of a sheep, and it had been congested inside him, and his life expired, may Allah^-azwj have Mercy on him.

ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ سَعْداً نَصَرَنَا حَيّاً وَ أَوْصَى بِنَا مَيِّتاً ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ لَهُ عِلْمٌ بِعَمِّي حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الصِّمَّةِ أَنَا أَعْرِفُ مَوْضِعَهُ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَيُخْبِرَهُ

Then I came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him^-saww. He^-saww said:’ May Allah^-azwj have Mercy on Sa’ad. He helped us when alive and advised us when dying’. Then Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Who has knowledge for him about my^-saww uncle Hamza^-asws?’ Al-Haris Bin Al-Simmat said to him^-saww, ‘I know of his^-asws place’. He went until he stopped at Hamza^-asws, and he disliked to return to Rasool-Allah^-saww and inform him^-saww.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا عَلِيُّ اطْلُبْ عَمَّكَ فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فُعِلَ بِهِ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا وَقَفْتُ مَوْقِفاً قَطُّ أَغْيَظَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ لَئِنْ أَمْكَنَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ لَأُمَثِّلَنَّ بِسَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: ‘O Ali^-asws! Search for your^-asws uncle^-asws’. Ali^-asws went and stopped at Hamza^-asws, and he^-asws (also) disliked to return to Rasool-Allah^-saww. Rasool-Allah^-saww came until he^-saww paused at him^-asws. When he^-saww saw what had happened with him^-asws, he^-saww cried, then said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! I^-saww have not paused at any pausing at all more outrageous to me^-saww than this place. If Allah^-azwj were to Enabled me^-saww upon Quraysh, I^-saww will reciprocate with seventy of their men’.

فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ‏ وَ إِنْ عاقَبْتُمْ فَعاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ ما عُوقِبْتُمْ بِهِ وَ لَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِينَ وَ اصْبِرْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَلْ أَصْبِرُ فَأَلْقَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى حَمْزَةَ بُرْدَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَتْ إِذَا مَدَّهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بَدَتْ رِجْلَاهُ وَ إِذَا مَدَّهَا عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ فَمَدَّهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَ أَلْقَى عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ الْحَشِيشَ

Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww and said: ‘And if you punish, then retaliate with the like of that which you were punished with; and if you are patient, [16:126]’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘But, I^-saww shall be patient’. Rasool-Allah^-saww cast his^-saww cloak upon Hamza^-asws which, was upon him^-saww. When he^-saww extended it upon his^-asws head his^-asws legs were exposed. And when he^-saww covered his^-asws legs his^-asws head was exposed. He^-saww extended it upon his^-asws head, and Ali^-asws cast some grass upon his^-asws legs.

وَ قَالَ لَوْ لَا أَنِّي أَحْذَرُ نِسَاءَ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَتَرَكْتُهُ لِلْعِقْبَانِ‏ وَ السِّبَاعِ حَتَّى يُحْشَرَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بُطُونِ السِّبَاعِ وَ الطَّيْرِ

And he^-saww said: ‘Had I^-saww not been cautious of the women of the clan of Abdul Muttalib^-asws, I^-saww would have left him^-asws for the posterity and the predators until he^-ra is raised on the Day of Qiyamah from the bellies of the wild animals and the birds.

وَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِالْقَتْلَى فَجُمِعُوا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ وَ دَفَنَهُمْ فِي مَضَاجِعِهِمْ وَ كَبَّرَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ سَبْعِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً

And Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed with the killed ones, and they were gathered, and he^-saww prayed Salat over them and buried them in their dying places, and he^-saww exclaimed seventy Takbeers over Hamza^-asws.

قَالَ وَ صَاحَ إِبْلِيسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَ خَرَجَ‏ وَ خَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تَعْدُو عَلَى قَدَمَيْهَا حَتَّى وَافَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَعَدَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ كَانَ‏ إِذَا بَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَكَتْ وَ إِذَا انْتَحَبَ انْتَحَبَتْ

He said, ‘And Iblees^-la shouted at Al-Medina, ‘Muhammad^-saww has been killed!’ There did not remain anyone from the women of the Emigrants and the Helpers except and they came out, and (Syeda) Fatima^-asws daughter^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww came out sprinting upon her^-asws feet until she^-asws came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and sat in front of him^-saww. Whenever Rasool-Allah^-saww cried, she^-asws cried, and whenever he^-saww wailed, she^-asws wailed.

وَ نَادَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ مَوْعِدُنَا وَ مَوْعِدُكُمُ فِي عَامٍ قَابِلٍ فَنَقْتَتِلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قُلْ نَعَمْ وَ ارْتَحَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ النِّسَاءُ يُوَلْوِلْنَ‏ وَ يَبْكِينَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص احْتَسِبِي فَقَالَتْ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخَاكِ قَالَتْ‏ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ هَنِيئاً لَهُ الشَّهَادَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا احْتَسِبِي قَالَتْ‏ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَتْ‏ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ هَنِيئاً لَهُ الشَّهَادَةُ

And Abu Sufyan called out, ‘Our appointment is in the next year and we shall kill’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: ‘Say yes’. And Rasool-Allah^-saww departed and entered Al-Medina and the women received him^-saww ululating and crying, and Zainab Bint Jahsh received him^-saww, and Rasool-Allah^-saww said to her: ‘Reckon me^-saww’. She said, ‘Who, O Rasool-Allah^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘Your brother’. She said, ‘We are for Allah and we are returning to Him [2:156]. Congratulations of the martyrdom for him’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا احْتَسِبِي قَالَتْ‏ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ زَوْجَكِ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَتْ وَا حُزْنَاهْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ لِلزَّوْجِ عِنْدَ الْمَرْأَةِ لَحَدّاً مَا لِأَحَدٍ مِثْلُهُ فَقِيلَ لَهَا لِمَ قُلْتِ ذَلِكِ فِي زَوْجِكِ قَالَتْ ذَكَرْتُ يُتْمَ وُلْدِهِ

Then he^-saww said to her: ‘Reckon me^-saww’. She said, ‘Who, O Rasool-Allah^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘Your husband Mus’ab Bin Umeyr’. She said, ‘Alas! His grief’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Surely for the husband there is a limit with the wife, there is for no one like it’. It was said to her, ‘Why did you say that regarding your husband?’ She said, ‘I remembered orphaning of his children’.

قَالَ وَ تَآمَرَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا وَ يُغِيرُوا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيُّ رَجُلٍ‏ يَأْتِينَا بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنَا آتِيكُمْ‏ بِخَبَرِهِمْ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَإِنْ كَانُوا رَكِبُوا الْخَيْلَ وَ جَنَبُوا الْإِبِلَ فَهُمْ‏ يُرِيدُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَرَادُوا الْمَدِينَةَ لَأُنَازِلَنَّ اللَّهَ فِيهِمْ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا رَكِبُوا الْإِبِلَ وَ جَنَبُوا الْخَيْلَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ مَكَّةَ

He said, ‘And Quraysh conspired upon that they would return and attacked upon Al-Medina. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Which man can come to us with the information of the people’. But no one answered him^-saww. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said:’ I^-asws will come to you all with their news’. He^-saww said: ‘Go, for if there were riding the horses and shunning the camels, then they are intending Al-Medina. By Allah^-azwj, if they are intending Al-Medina, Allah^-azwj will Put them down; and if they were riding the camels and shunning the horses, then they are intending Makkah’.

فَمَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَا بِهِ مِنَ الْأَلَمِ وَ الْجِرَاحَاتِ حَتَّى كَانَ قَرِيباً مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَرَآهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْإِبِلَ وَ جَنَبُوا الْخَيْلَ فَرَجَعَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَرَادُوا مَكَّةَ

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws went upon what was with him^-asws from the pains and the injuries until when he^-asws was near to the people, he^-asws saw them riding the camels and shunning the horses. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws returned to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him^-saww. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘They are intending Makkah’.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَدِينَةَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ فِي أَثَرِ الْقَوْمِ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ بِهِ جِرَاحَةٌ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَنْ كَانَتْ بِهِ جِرَاحَةٌ فَلْيَخْرُجْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ جِرَاحَةٌ فَلْيُقِمْ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww entered Al-Medina, Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Allah^-azwj Commands you^-saww to go out in pursuit of the people and no one should go out with you^-saww except one who has injuries with him’. Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed a caller to call out, ‘O community of Emigrants and Helpers! One who has injuries with him, then let him come out, and the one who does not happen to have any injuries with him, let him stay back’.

فَأَقْبَلُوا يُضَمِّدُونَ‏ جِرَاحَاتِهِمْ وَ يُدَاوُونَهَا وَ أَنْزَلَ‏ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ‏ وَ لا تَهِنُوا فِي ابْتِغاءِ الْقَوْمِ إِنْ تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ‏ الْآيَةَ فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَ يَجِبُ‏ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ

They came out bandaging their injuries and healing them, and Allah^-azwj Revealed unto His^-azwj Prophet^-saww: And do not slacken in pursuing the people (enemy); if you are in pain, [4:104] – the Verse. So, this Verse is in Surah Al-Nisaa, and it Obligated for it to be in this Chapter.

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنْ يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ‏ الْآيَةَ فَخَرَجُوا عَلَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْأَلَمِ وَ الْجِرَاحِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَمْرَاءَ الْأَسَدِ وَ قُرَيْشٌ قَدْ نَزَلَتِ الرَّوْحَاءَ قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ وَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ نَرْجِعُ فَنُغِيرُ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَدْ قَتَلْنَا سَرَاتَهُمْ وَ كَبْشَهُمْ يَعْنُونَ‏ حَمْزَةَ

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: If an injury touched you (at Ohad), [3:140] – the Verse. They went out upon what was with them from the pains and the injuries. When Rasool-Allah^-saww reached Hamra Al-Asad and Quraysh had descended at Al-Rawha. Ikrima Bin Abu Jahl and Al-Haris Bin Hisham and Amro Bin Al-Aas and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed said, ‘We shall return and attack upon Al-Medina for we have already killed their umbilical cord and their battering ram’ – meaning Hamza^-asws.

فَوَافَاهُمْ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلُوهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ تَرَكْتُ مُحَمَّداً وَ أَصْحَابَهُ بِحَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ يَطْلُبُونَكُمْ أَحَدَّ الطَّلَبِ‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ هَذَا النَّكَدُ وَ الْبَغْيُ قَدْ ظَفِرْنَا بِالْقَوْمِ وَ بَغَيْنَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَفْلَحَ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ بَغَوْا

They came across a man coming out from Al-Medina and they asked him the news. He said, ‘I left Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions at Hamra Al-Asad seeking you all’. Abu Sufyan said, ‘This is the annoyance and the rebellion. We have already won with the people and they are rebelling against us. By Allah^-azwj! They rebellion of the people will not succeed at all!’

فَوَافَاهُمْ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ الْمَدِينَةَ لِأَمْتَارَ لِأَهْلِي طَعَاماً قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِحَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ وَ تَلْقَى أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُعْلِمَهُمْ أَنَّ حُلَفَاءَنَا وَ مَوَالِيَنَا قَدْ وَافَوْنَا مِنَ الْأَحَابِيشِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعُوا عَنَّا وَ لَكَ عِنْدِي عَشَرَةُ قَلَائِصَ أَمْلَؤُهَا تَمْراً وَ زَبِيباً

Then Nuaym Bin Masoud Al-Ashjaie met them. Abu Sufyan said, ‘Where are you intending?’ He said, ‘Al-Medina to buy dates for my family’. He said, ‘Can it be for you to pass by Hamra Al-Asad and meet up with the companions of Muhammad^-saww and let them know that our allies and our friends from the Ethiopians have come to be with us, until they return from us, and for you with me would be ten baskets filled with dates and raisins?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ فَوَافَى مِنْ غَدِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَمْرَاءَ الْأَسَدِ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ قَالُوا قُرَيْشاً قَالَ ارْجِعُوا فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشاً قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ حُلَفَاؤُهُمْ وَ مَنْ كَانَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُمْ وَ مَا أَظُنُّ إِلَّا وَ أَوَائِلُ خَيْلِهِمْ يَطَّلِعُونَ‏ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ مَا نُبَالِي‏

He said, ‘Yes’. He met them during that day at Hamra Al-Asad. He said to the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww, ‘Where are you intending?’ They said, ‘Quraysh’. He said, ‘Return, for Quraysh have gathered their allies to them and the ones who used to stay behind from them, and I do not think except that their cavalry would be emerging upon you all this moment’. They said, Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173], we do not care’.

وَ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَرْعَبَ قُرَيْشاً وَ مَرُّوا لَا يَلْوُونَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى‏ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ الَّذِينَ اسْتَجابُوا لِلَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ‏ يَعْنِي نُعَيْمَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ عَامٌّ وَ مَعْنَاهُ خَاصٌ‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

And Jibraeel^-as descended unto Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘Return, O Muhammad^-saww, for Allah^-azwj has Awed Quraysh and they are passing not turning towards anything’. So, Rasool-Allah^-saww returned to Al-Medina and Allah^-azwj Revealed: Those who responded to Allah and the Rasool (at Ohad) [3:172] – up to His^-azwj Words: Those to whom the people said: – meaning Nuaym Bin Masoud. This is the general word and its meaning is particular, Surely the people have gathered against you, [3:173] – the Verse.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَصَابَنَا وَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تَعِدُنَا النَّصْرَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ أَ وَ لَمَّا أَصابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ الْآيَةَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ قُتِلَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ سَبْعُونَ وَ أُسِرَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ وَ كَانَ الْحُكْمُ فِي الْأُسَارَى الْقَتْلَ فَقَامَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَبْهُمْ لَنَا وَ لَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ حَتَّى نُفَادِيَهُمْ

When they entered Al-Medina, the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘What is this which afflicted us and we had been promised Help (from Allah^-azwj)?’ Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed: Or, when a difficulty befell you, [3:165] – the Verse; and that is that on the day of Badr seventy of Quraysh had been killed and seventy of them had been captured, and the ruling regarding the captives was the killing, but the Helpers stood up to Rasool-Allah^-saww and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Gift them to us and do not kill them until we ransom them’.

فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَبَاحَ لَهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ يُطْلِقُوهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدَ مِنْهُمْ فِي عَامٍ قَابِلٍ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَأْخُذُونَ‏ مِنْهُ الْفِدَاءَ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِهَذَا الشَّرْطِ فَقَالُوا قَدْ رَضِينَا بِهِ نَأْخُذُ الْعَامَ الْفِدَاءَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ وَ يُقْتَلُ مِنَّا فِي عَامٍ قَابِلٍ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ وَ نَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَخَذُوا مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ وَ أَطْلَقُوهُمْ

Jibraeel^-as descended and said: ‘Allah^-azwj has Legalised the ransom for them if they were to take from these ones and free them upon a stipulation that there will be martyred from during in the coming year by a measurement of what they take the ransom from it’. So, Rasool-Allah^-saww informed them with this stipulation. They said, ‘We are pleased with it. We shall take the ransom this year from them and strengthen with it, and they will fight from us in the coming year by a number of the ones we take the ransom from, and we shall enter Paradise’. So, they took the ransom from them and freed them.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ قُتِلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص سَبْعُونَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَصَابَنَا وَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تَعِدُنَا النَّصْرَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ أَ وَ لَمَّا أَصابَتْكُمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ‏ بِمَا اشْتَرَطْتُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ

When it was during this day, and it is the day of Ohad, seventy of the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww were killed. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! What is this which has afflicted us, and we had been Promised the Help (from Allah^-azwj)?’ Allah^-azwj Revealed: Or, when a difficulty befell you, – up to His^-azwj Words: ‘It is from yourselves’ [3:165], due to what had been stipulated to you on the day of Badr’’.[13]

And Al Jazry said, ‘Al Qazam is the devouring with the ends of the teeth, and from it is the Hadeeth of Ali^-asws, it was so that whenever Quraysh saw him^-asws, they said, ‘Beware of the demolisher! Beware of the Biter!’ – i.e. the one who bites the people and destroys them’.

‘Al-Khisaal’, by his chain from Aamir Bin Wasila in a Hadeeth of the consultation, ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allah^-azwj! Is there anyone among you Jibraeel^-as said to him, ‘Do you see this consolation from Ali^-asws?’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as am from you^-asws both’, apart from me^-asws?’ They said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! No’.

He^-asws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allah^-azwj! Is there anyone among you who killed nine duellers from the clan of Abd Al-Dar, all of then grabbing the flag, then came their Ethiopian slave and he was saying, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I will not kill for my master except Muhammad^-saww’, and his mouth was foaming and his eyes reddened. So, you all feared him and moved away from him, and I^-asws went out to him. When he came it was as if he was a built-up dome. So, I^-asws and him exchanged strikes and I^-asws cut him into two halves, and there remained his incapacitated legs and his thighs standing upon the ground. The Muslims were looking at him and laughing from it?’ They said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! No’’.[14]

‘Al-Ihtijaj’, from Abu Ja’far^-asws in a Hadeeth of the consultation, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allah^-azwj! Is there anyone among you the Angels paused with him on the day of Ohad when the people went away, apart from me^-asws?’ They said, ‘No’.

He^-asws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allah^-azwj! Is there anyone among you who quenched Rasool-Allah^-saww from the water-basin apart from me^-asws?’ They said, ‘No’.

بيان: قال‏ في النهاية في الحديث‏ إنه عطش يوم أحد فجاءه علي بماء من المهراس فعافه و غسل به الدم عن وجهه

Explanatory note: ‘He said in (the book) ‘Al-Nihaya’: ‘He^-saww was thirsty on the day of Ohad, so Ali^-asws came to him^-asws with water from the water-basin and gave it to him^-asws and washed away the blood from his^-saww face’’.[15]

‘Al-Khisaal’ – Among what Amir Al-Momineen^-asws counted to the chief of the Jews of his^-asws efforts during the life-time of the Prophet^-saww and after his^-saww expiry: ‘O Jewish brother! The people of Makkah came to us upon the way of their fathers having implored the ones from the Arab tribes who followed them, and Quraysh were seeking the vengeance of the Quraysh Polytheists during the day of Badr. Jibraeel^-as descended unto the Prophet^-saww and informed him^-saww with that.

فَذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ عَسْكَرَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَدِّ أُحُدٍ وَ أَقْبَلَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَمَلُوا عَلَيْنَا حَمْلَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ اسْتُشْهِدَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ بَقِيَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْهَزِيمَةِ وَ بَقِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَضَى الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ كُلٌّ يَقُولُ قُتِلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُهُ

The Prophet^-saww went with his^-saww companions and soldiers in blocking Ohad, and the Polytheists faced towards us and attacked upon us the attack of one man, and the ones who were martyred from the Muslims were martyred, and from the ones who remained were the ones who were defeated, and I^-asws remained with Rasool-Allah^-saww, and the Emigrants and the Helpers went to their houses from Al-Medina, every one of them saying, ‘Muhammad^-saww has been killed and his^-saww companions have been killed!’

ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وُجُوهَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ قَدْ جُرِحْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص نَيِّفاً وَ سَبْعِينَ جَرْحَةً مِنْهَا هَذِهِ وَ هَذِهِ ثُمَّ أَلْقَى رِدَاءَهُ وَ أَمَرَّ يَدَهُ عَلَى جِرَاحَاتِهِ وَ كَانَ مِنِّي فِي ذَلِكَ‏ مَا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثَوَابُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ الْخَبَرَ

Then Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Struck the faces of the Polytheists, and I^-asws was injured in front of Rasool-Allah^-azwj with more than seventy injuries, from these is this one and this one’. Then he^-asws cast his^-asws cloak and passed his^-asws hand upon his^-asws injuries (and said): ‘And that happened from me^-asws during that (day), what its Rewards are upon Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, if Allah^-azwj so Desires’ – the Hadeeth’.[16]

‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – Al Hamdany, from Ali, from his father, from Al Bazanty and Ibn Abu Umeyr both together, from Aban Bin Usman,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When it was the day of Ohad, the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww were defeated until there did not remain anyone with him^-saww except Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws and Abu Dajjan Simak Bin Kharasha. The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘O Abu Dajjana! Do you see your people?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^-saww said: ‘Be with your people’. He said, ‘This is not what I pledged allegiance to Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘You in freedom’. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! Quraysh will not narrate that I abandoned you^-saww and fled, until I taste what you^-saww taste’. The Prophet^-saww promised him goodly Recompense.

وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كُلَّمَا حَمَلَتْ طَائِفَةٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص اسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ وَ رَدَّهُمْ حَتَّى أَكْثَرَ فِيهِمُ الْقَتْلَ وَ الْجِرَاحَاتِ حَتَّى انْكَسَرَ سَيْفُهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ بِسِلَاحِهِ وَ قَدِ انْكَسَرَ سَيْفِي فَأَعْطَاهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ سَيْفَهُ ذَا الْفَقَارِ فَمَا زَالَ يَدْفَعُ بِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أُثِّرَ وَ أُنْكِرَ

And Ali^-asws was such that every time a group attacked upon Rasool-Allah^-saww, he^-asws faced them and repelled them until then a lot of them were killed and injured, until his^-asws sword broke. He^-asws came to the Prophet^-saww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The man can only fight with his^-asws weapon, and my^-asws sword is broken’. He^-saww gave him^-asws his^-saww sword ‘Zulfiqar’. He^-asws did not cease defending Rasool-Allah^-saww with it until was stained and bent.

فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا وَ سَمِعُوا دَوِيّاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ

Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Surely this, it is the consolation from Ali^-asws for you^-saww’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as am from you^-asws both’, and a roar was heard from the sky: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws![17]

‘When it was the day of Ohad, the Prophet^-saww was scarred in his^-saww face and his^-saww front teeth were broken. He^-saww stood up and raised his^-saww hands saying: ‘Surely, Allah^-azwj Intensified His^-azwj Wrath upon the Jews if they said Al-Uzayr^-as is a son of Allah^-azwj, and Intensified His^-azwj Wrath upon the Christians if they said the Messiah^-as is a son of Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj Intensified His^-azwj Wrath upon the one who spills my^-saww blood and hurts me^-saww regarding my^-saww family^-asws.[18]

‘Al Amaaly’ of the Sheykh Al Tusy Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Malik Al Nahwy, from Ahmad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Bishr Bin Bakr, form Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from his elder who said,

‘When Ali^-asws returned from Ohad, gave his^-asws sword to (Syeda) Fatima^-asws and said (in prose): ‘O Fatima^-asws! This sword is without blame, and I^-asws am neither a coward nor wicked. By my^-asws life! I^-asws am excused regarding helping Ahmad^-saww and Pleasure of Lord^-azwj of the servant, Merciful’.

قَالَ وَ سُمِعَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَ قَدْ هَاجَتْ رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ كَلَامُ هَاتِفٍ يَهْتِفُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌ فَإِذَا نَدَبْتُمْ هَالِكاً فَابْكُوا الْوَفِيَّ أَخَا الْوَفِيِ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And it was heard on the day of Ohad, and there was a stormy wind, the speech of a notifier notifying and he was saying: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws. Then you will grieve for the dead and the brother shall cry over the dead brother![19]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported in the register attributed to him^-asws, after the two couplets (above, the following poem): ‘I^-asws only intend the Rewards of Allah^-azwj not something else, and His^-azwj Pleasure in the Garden of Bliss; and I^-asws was a towering man when the war broke out, and I^-asws stood upon the legs without blame. I^-asws killed the son of Abd Al-Dar until I struck him with splendid glory separating the bones, and I^-asws left him at the bottom and they refused to gather him, worshippers of the ones content with the word, and my^-asws sword was in my^-asws palm like the shaking meteor, dividing by it the shoulders and the heart. I^-asws did not cease until my^-asws Lord^-azwj Dispensed with all of them, and I^-asws healed the chest from them of every forbearing one’’.[20]

11- وَ قَالَ شَارِحُ الدِّيوَانِ‏ لَمَّا أَنْشَدَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص خُذِيهِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَقَدْ أَدَّى بَعْلُكِ مَا عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ صَنَادِيدَ قُرَيْشٍ بِيَدَيْهِ

And the commentator of the register said, ‘When Ali^-asws prosed these couplets, the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Take it O Fatima^-asws for your ^-asws husband has fulfilled whatever was upon him^-asws, and Allah^-azwj has Killed the militia of Quraysh by his^-asws hands’’.

قَالَ وَ رَوَى زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ وَحْدَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ ثُبُوتَ عَلِيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَقَامِ لَعَجَبٌ قَالَ إِنْ تَعَجَّبْتَ مِنْهُ‏ فَقَدْ تَعَجَّبَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ قَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ هُوَ يَعْرُجُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ

He said, ‘And it is reported by Zayd Bin Wahab, from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘The people were defeated on the day of Ohad except Ali^-asws.alone’. I said, ‘The steadfastness of Ali^-asws in that position is astounding’. He said, ‘If you are wondering from it, so the Angels had also marvelled. Do you not know that Jibraeel^-as said during that day, and he^-as was ascending to the sky: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws!

وَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ مَدِيحَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ مَلَكاً اسْمُهُ رِضْوَانُ يُنَادِي لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ

And from Ikrimah, from Ali^-asws having said: ‘The Prophet^-saww said to me^-asws on the day of Ohad: ‘Are you^-asws not hearing your^-asws praise in the sky? The Angel whose name is Rizwan is calling out: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws.

قَالَ: وَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص نُودِيَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏

كُلُّ غَمٍّ وَ هَمٍّ سَيَنْجَلِي‏		بِوَلَايَتِكَ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَلِيُ‏

He said, ‘And it is said that the Prophet^-saww called out during this day: ‘Call Ali^-asws the manifestor of the wonders, you will find assistance for you in the difficulties. Every sorrow and worry will be removed by your^-asws Wilayah, O Ali^-asws! O Ali^-asws! O Ali^-asws!’’ [21]

‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I and Bukeyr went with a man from the children of Ali^-asws to the Monuments until we ended at Ohad and we saw the graves of the martyrs. Then Al Shi’b mingled with us and we went with him for a while until we went to a Masjid over there. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww had prayed Salat in it’. We prayed Salat. Then we saw a place at the top of the mountain, and he said, ‘The Prophet^-saww had ascended to it, and there used to be rainwater in it’.

قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمْ يَصْعَدْ إِلَى مَا ثَمَّ- فَقُلْتُ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي لَا أَجِي‏ءُ مَعَكُمْ أَنَا نَائِمٌ هَاهُنَا حَتَّى تَجِيئُوا فَذَهَبَ هُوَ وَ بُكَيْرٌ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا وَ جَاءُوا إِلَيَّ فَانْصَرَفْنَا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ أَتَيْنَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ لَنَا أَيْنَ كُنْتُمْ أَمْسِ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَكُمْ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ وَ وَصَفْنَا لَهُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي زَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص صَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ فِيهِ

Zurara said, ‘It occurred to me that Rasool-Allah^-saww did not ascend to water, so I said, ‘As for me, so I am not coming with you. I shall sleep over here until you come (back)’. He and Bukeyr went and left, and they came to me and we left altogether until when it was the morning, we came to Abu Ja’far^-asws. He^-asws said to us: ‘Where were you yesterday, for I^-asws did not see you’. We informed him^-asws and described the Masjid to him^-asws and the place where it is claimed that the Prophet^-saww had ascended to and washed his^-saww face in it.

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَا أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ قَطُّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يُرْوَى‏ لَنَا أَنَّهُ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ فَقَالَ لَا قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ سَلِيماً وَ لَكِنَّهُ شُجَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَبَعَثَ عَلِيّاً فَأَتَاهُ بِمَاءٍ فِي حَجَفَةٍ فَعَافَهُ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ وَ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ‏

Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww did not go to that place at all’. I said to him^-asws, ‘It is reported to us that his^-saww teeth were broken’. He^-asws said: ‘No, Allah^-azwj Captured him^-saww (his^-saww soul) whole, but his^-saww face was bruised, so he^-saww sent Ali^-asws, and he^-asws came to him^-saww with water in a container, but Rasool-Allah^-saww recovered to drink from it and wash his^-saww face.[22]

‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – Al Talaqany at Al Rayyy during Rajab of the year three hundred and forty nine, said, ‘It was narrated to us by Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Al Anbary, from Muhammad Bin Yunus, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah, from Ismail Bin Qays, from Makhzam Bin Bukeyr, from Abu Hazim, from Kharja Bin Zayd Bin Savit, from his father who said,

‘When it was the day of Ohad Rasool-Allah^-saww sent me to search for Sa’ad Bin Al Rabie and said to me: ‘When you see him, then convey the greetings to him from me^-saww and say to him, ‘How do you feel?’

قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ بَيْنَ الْقَتْلَى حَتَّى وَجَدْتُهُ بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَ طَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَ رَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ فَقَالَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قُلْ لِقَوْمِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا عُذْرَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ‏ إِنْ وَصَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ فِيكُمْ شُفْرٌ يَطْرِفُ‏ وَ فَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ

He said, ‘I went to seek him among the killed ones until I found him between strikes of the words and stabs of spears and shot by arrows. I said to him, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww conveys the greetings to you and is saying to you: ‘How do you feel?’ He said, ‘Greet unto Rasool-Allah^-saww and say to my people, the Helpers, ‘There is no excuse for you in the Presence of Allah^-azwj to help Rasool-Allah^-saww and among you there are moving lips’, and he died’’.[23]

(The book) ‘Tafseer Al-Qummy’ – Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘When I^-saww passed by Amro Bin Al-Aas and Al-Waleed Bin Uqba Bin Abu Mueet, and they were in an orchard drinking (wine) and singing with this couplet regarding Hamza^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws when he^-asws was killed, ‘How many a helper has blackened his bones after the water when he was dragged and buried’, the Prophet^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Curse them both and return them both into the Fitna (strife) and Push them into the Fire with a pushing’’.[24]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Ubayy Bin Khalaf said to the Prophet^-saww at Makkah, ‘I am feeding ‘Al-Awra’a’’ – meaning a horse of his, ‘I shall kill you^-saww upon it’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘But I^-saww will kill you, if Allah^-azwj so Desires’. They met on the day of Ohad. When he came near Rasool-Allah^-saww grabbed the bayonet from Al-Haris Bin Al-Simt and walked towards him, and stabbed, and left. He returned to Quraysh, and he was saying, ‘Muhammad^-saww killed me!’ They said, ‘And there is no problem with you’. He said, ‘He^-saww said to me in Makkah: ‘I^-saww will kill you’, even if he^-saww had spat upon me, it would have killed me’. He died honourably.[25]

16- يج مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَتْ وَقْعَةُ بَدْرٍ قَتَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا وَ أَسَرُوا مِنْهُمْ سَبْعِينَ فَحَكَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِقَتْلِ الْأُسَارَى وَ حَرْقِ الْغَنَائِمِ فَقَالَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِنَّ الْأُسَارَى هُمْ قَوْمُكَ وَ قَدْ قَتَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ سَبْعِينَ فَأَطْلِقْ لَنَا أَنْ نَأْخُذَ الْفِدَاءَ مِنَ الْأُسَارَى وَ الْغَنَائِمَ فَنَقْوَى بِهَا عَلَى جِهَادِنَا

From his^-saww miracles – When it was the event of Badr, the Muslims killed seventy men from Quraysh and captured seventy of them. Rasool-Allah^-saww ruled with killing the captives and burning of the war booty, but a group from the Emigrants said, ‘The captives, they are your^-saww people, and we have already killed seventy of them, so free for us that we take the ransom from the captives and the war booty, so we can be strengthened by it upon our Jihad’.

فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ تَقْتُلُوا يُقْتَلْ مِنْكُمْ فِي الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ عَدَدَ الْأُسَارَى فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ ما كانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرى‏ حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ وَ قُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ سَبْعُونَ بِعَدَدِ الْأُسَارَى قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ وَعَدْتَنَا النَّصْرَ فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِي وَقَعَ بِنَا وَ نَسُوا الشَّرْطَ بِبَدْرٍ

Allah^-azwj Revealed to him^-saww: “If you^-saww do not kill, then there would be killed from you during the coming year, the like of this number of captives today”, and Allah^-azwj Revealed: It was not for a Prophet that there happen to be captives for him until he triumphs in the land. You are wanting the display of the world [8:67]. When it was during the next year and seventy from the Muslims were killed, a number of the captives (of Badr) said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! We had been Promised the Help (of Allah^-azwj), so what is this which has occurred with us?’ And they had forgotten the stipulation at Badr.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ أَ وَ لَمَّا أَصابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَيْها يَعْنِي مَا كَانُوا أَصَابُوا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بِبَدْرٍ وَ قَبِلُوا الْفِدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَسْرَى‏ قُلْتُمْ أَنَّى هذا قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ يَعْنِي بِالشَّرْطِ الَّذِي شَرَطُوهُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَدَدِ الْأُسَارَى إِذَا هُوَ أَطْلَقَ لَهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْغَنَائِمَ فَكَانَ الْحَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى حُكْمِ الشَّرْطِ

Allah^-azwj Revealed: Or, when a difficulty befell you, although you had afflicted (the Kafirs) with twice as much, – meaning what they had attained from Quraysh at Badr and accept the ransom from the captives, you said: ‘From where is this?’ Say: ‘It is from yourselves’ [3:165] – meaning by the condition which they had stipulated upon themselves that there would be killed from them of the number of the captives, when he^-saww freed the ransoming for them from them, and the war booty. The state during that was upon the ruling of the stipulation.

وَ لَمَّا انْكَشَفَتِ الْحَرْبُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ سَارَ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِينَ لِيَحْمِلُوا قَتْلَاهُمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَشَدُّوهُمْ عَلَى الْجِمَالِ وَ كَانُوا إِذَا تَوَجَّهُوا بِهِمْ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ بَرَكَتِ الْجِمَالُ وَ إِذَا تَوَجَّهُوا بِهِمْ نَحْوَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ أَسْرَعَتْ فَشَكَوُا الْحَالَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلَ اللَّهِ‏ قُلْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلى‏ مَضاجِعِهِمْ‏ فَدُفِنَ كُلُّ رَجُلَيْنِ فِي قَبْرٍ إِلَّا حَمْزَةَ فَإِنَّهُ دُفِنَ وَحْدَهُ

And when the war uncovered on the day of Ohad, the friends of the killed ones came to carry their killed ones to Al-Medina, and they tied them upon the camels, and when they tried to head with them towards Al-Medina, the camels knelt, and when they tried to head with them towards the battlefield, they hastened. They complained of the situation to Rasool-Allah^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘Do you no hear the Words of Allah^-azwj: Say: ‘Had you remained in your houses, those upon whom being killed was Ordained would have gone forth to their spots of death, [3:154]. Every two men were buried in one grave except Hamza^-asws, for he^-ra was buried alone.

وَ كَانَ أَصَابَ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي حَرْبِ أُحُدٍ أَرْبَعُونَ جِرَاحَةً فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَاءَ عَلَى فَمِهِ فَرَشَّهُ عَلَى الْجِرَاحَاتِ فَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنْ وَقْتِهَا وَ كَانَ أَصَابَ عَيْنَ قَتَادَةَ سَهْمٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَسَالَتِ الْحَدَقَةُ فَأَمْسَكَهَا النَّبِيُّ ص بِيَدِهِ فَعَادَتْ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَتْ

And Ali^-asws had been afflicted during the battle of Ohad by forty injuries, so Rasool-Allah^-saww took the water upon his^-saww mouth and sprinkled it upon the injuries, and it was as if they had not happened from its time; and an eye of Qatad had been injured by an arrow from the Polytheist and it rolled down to the cheek, and the Prophet^-saww withheld it by his^-saww hand and returned it to be like as good as it had been.

وَ مِنْهَا أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ انْقَطَعَ سَيْفِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ الْمَرْءَ يُقَاتِلُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ سَيْفِي فَنَظَرَ إِلَى جَرِيدَةِ نَخْلٍ عَتِيقَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ مَطْرُوحَةٍ فَأَخَذَهَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ هَزَّهَا فَصَارَتْ سَيْفَهُ ذَا الْفَقَارِ فَنَاوَلَنِيهِ فَمَا ضَرَبْتُ بِهِ أَحَداً إِلَّا وَ قَدَّهُ بِنِصْفَيْنِ

And from these is that Ali^-asws said: ‘My^-asws sword broke on the day of Ohad, so I^-asws returned to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘The man can only fight with his sword, and my^-asws sword has broken’. He^-saww looked at a branch of an old dry palm tree that had been thrown away. He grabbed it by his^-saww hand, shook it, and it became his^-saww sword Zulfiqar, and gave it to him^-asws. He^-asws did not strike anyone with it except that he cut him (lengthwise) into two halves.

وَ مِنْهَا أَنَّ جَابِراً قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِمَكَّةَ وَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُرَبِّي‏ مُهْراً كَانَ إِذَا لَقِيَ مُحَمَّداً وَ الْمُهْرُ مَعَهُ يَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمُهْرِ أَقْتُلُكَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَقْتُلُكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ بَلْ أَقْتُلُكَ فَوَافَى أُحُداً فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ص حَرْبَةَ رَجُلٍ وَ خَلَعَ سِنَانَهُ وَ رَمَى بِهِ فَضَرَبَهَا عَلَى عُنُقِهِ فَقَالَ النَّارَ النَّارَ وَ سَقَطَ مَيِّتاً

And from these is that Jabir said, ‘The Prophet^-saww was at Makkah, and a man from Quraysh nourished a baby horse when he met Muhammad^-saww, and the horse was with him. He said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Upon this horse I shall kill you^-saww’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘I^-saww will kill you upon it’. He said, ‘But I will kill you^-saww’. They met at Ohad and the Prophet^-saww grabbed a bayonet of a man and took away its head and threw it, and it his upon his neck. He said, ‘The fire! The fire! And he fell down dead.

وَ مِنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص انْتَهَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ قَدْ فَوَّقَ سَهْماً لِيَرْمِيَ بَعْضَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَوَضَعَ ص يَدَهُ فَوْقَ السَّهْمِ وَ قَالَ ارْمِهِ‏ فَرَمَى ذَلِكَ الْمُشْرِكَ بِهِ فَهَرَبَ الْمُشْرِكُ‏ مِنَ السَّهْمِ وَ جَعَلَ يَرُوغُ مِنَ السَّهْمِ يَمْنَةً وَ يَسْرَةً وَ السَّهْمُ يَتْبَعُهُ حَيْثُمَا رَاغَ حَتَّى سَقَطَ السَّهْمُ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَسَقَطَ الْمُشْرِكُ مَيِّتاً فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ وَ ما رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمى‏

And from these is that Rasool-Allah^-saww ended up to a man who had raised his arrow in order to shoot at the Polytheists. He^-saww placed his^-saww hand above the arrow and said: ‘Shoot it!’ He shot that Polytheist with it, and the Polytheist ran from the arrow and went on to dodge from the arrow, right and left, and the arrow followed him wherever he dodged until the arrow fell in his head, and the Polytheist fell down dead. Allah^-azwj Revealed: So you did not kill them but Allah Killed them, and you did not throw when you threw, but Allah Threw, [8:17].

وَ كَانَ أَبُو غُرَّةَ الشَّاعِرُ حَضَرَ مَعَ قُرَيْشٍ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ يُحَرِّضُ قُرَيْشاً بِشِعْرِهِ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَأُسِرَ فِي السَّبْعِينَ الَّذِينَ أُسِرُوا فَلَمَّا وَقَعَ الْفِدَاءُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ قَالَ أَبُو غُرَّةَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَجُلٌ فَقِيرٌ فَامْنُنْ عَلَى بَنَاتِي فَقَالَ أُطْلِقُكَ‏ بِغَيْرِ فِدَاءٍ أَلَّا تُكْثِرَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ فَعَاهَدَهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ

And Abu Gurra the poet attended on the day of Badr with Quraysh, and he was urging Quraysh with his poetry upon the fighting. He was captured among the seventy, who were captured. When the ransoming occurred upon the people, Abu Gurra said, ‘O Abu Al-Qasim^-saww! You^-saww know I am a poor man, so grant me safety as a conferment upon my daughters’. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww hereby free you without any ransom (upon stipulation) that you will not increase the numbers against us’. He said, ‘No, by Allah^-azwj!’ He pacted with him^-saww that he will not repeat.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ حَرْبُ أُحُدٍ دَعَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ مَعَهَا لِيُحَرِّضَ النَّاسَ بِشِعْرِهِ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي عَاهَدْتُ مُحَمَّداً أَنْ لَا أُكْثِرَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ مَا مَنَّ عَلَيَّ قَالُوا لَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً لَا يَسْلَمُ مِنَّا فِي هَذِهِ الدَّفْعَةِ فَغَلَبُوهُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ‏ فَلَمْ يُؤْسَرْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ غَيْرُهُ

When it was the battle of Ohad, Quraysh invited him to go out with them in order to urge the people with his poetry. He said, ‘I have made a pact with Muhammad^-saww and I will not increase the numbers against him^-saww after he^-saww had conferred upon me’. They said, ‘This is not from that. Muhammad^-saww is not safe from us during this occasion’. They overcame upon his opinion, and no one from Quraysh was captured on the day of Ohad apart from him.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ لَمْ تُعَاهدْنِي قَالَ إِنَّهُمْ‏ غَلَبُونِي عَلَى رَأْيِي فَامْنُنْ عَلَى بَنَاتِي قَالَ لَا تَمْشِي بِمَكَّةَ وَ تُحَرِّكُ كَتِفَيْكَ وَ تَقُولُ سَخِرْتُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يُلْسَعُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ يَا عَلِيُّ اضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Did you not make a pact with me^-saww?’ He said, ‘They overcame upon my opinion. Grant me safety as a conferment upon my daughters’. He^-saww said: ‘You will not walk in Makkah and move your shoulder in mockery of Muhammad^-saww twice’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘The Momin is not stung from a (same) hole twice. O Ali^-asws! Strike off his neck!

ما رواه يحيى بن عمارة قال حدثني الحسن بن موسى بن رياح مولى الأنصار قال حدثني أبو البختري القرشي قال‏ كانت راية قريش و لواؤها جميعا بيد قصي بن كلاب ثم لم تزل الراية في يد ولد عبد المطلب يحملها منهم من حضر الحرب حتى بعث الله رسوله فصارت راية قريش و غيرها إلى النبي ص فأقرها في بني هاشم

What is reported by Yahya Bin Amarah who said, ‘It was narrated to me by Al Hassan Bin Musa Bin Riyah a slave of the Helpers who said, ‘It was narrated to me by Abu Al Bakhtary Al Qarshy who said,

‘The banner of Quraysh and their flag were all in the hand of Qusay Bin Kalab. Then the flag did not cease to be in the hand of the children of Abdul Muttalib^-asws, carried by the ones from them who attend the war until Allah^-azwj Sent Rasool-Allah^-saww, and the flag of Quraysh and others came to the Prophet^-saww and settled among the clan of Hashim^-as.

فأعطاها رسول الله ص علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام في غزاة ودان و هي أول غزاة حمل‏ فيها راية في الإسلام مع النبي ص ثم لم تزل معه في المشاهد ببدر و هي البطشة الكبرى و في يوم أحد و كان اللواء يومئذ في بني عبد الدار فأعطاها رسول الله ص مصعب بن عمير فاستشهد و وقع اللواء من يده فتشوقته القبائل فأخذه رسول الله ص فدفعه إلى علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام فجمع له يومئذ الراية و اللواء فهما إلى اليوم في بني هاشم

Rasool-Allah^-saww gave it to Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws during the military expedition of Wadan, and it is the first military expedition in Al-Islam during which a flag was carried with the Prophet^-saww. Then it did not cease to be with him^-asws during the battle of Badr and it is the great seizure, and during the day of Ohad, and the flag on that day was among the clan of Abd Al-Dar. Rasool-Allah^-saww gave it to Mas’ab Bin Umeyr, and he was martyred and the banner fell from his hand, and the tribes desired it, but Rasool-Allah^-saww took it and handed it over to Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws. Thus, on that day, there were gathered to him^-asws, the flag and the banner, and these two up to today at with the Clan of Hashim^-as.

و روى المفضل بن عبد الله عن سماك عن عكرمة عن عبد الله بن العباس أنه قال‏ لعلي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام أربع ما هن لأحد هو أول عربي و عجمي صلى مع رسول الله ص و هو صاحب لوائه في كل زحف و هو الذي ثبت معه يوم المهراس يعني يوم أحد و فر الناس و هو الذي أدخله قبره

And it is reported by Al Mufazzal Bin Umar, from Simak, from Ikrimah, from Abdullah Bin Al Abbas having said,

‘From Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws there are four which are not for anyone. He^-asws is the first one from the Arabs and non-Arabs to pray Salat with Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he^-asws was in charge of his^-saww flag in every army, and he^-asws is the one who was steadfast with him^-saww on the day of the water-hole, meaning the day of Ohad and the people had fled, and he^-asws is the one who entered into his^-saww grave’.

وَ رَوَى زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنِ الْحِمَّانِيِ‏ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ وَجَدْنَا مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَوْماً طِيبَ نَفْسٍ‏ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا عَنْ يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ وَ كَيْفَ كَانَ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى ذِكْرِ الْحَرْبِ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اخْرُجُوا إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ فَخَرَجْنَا فَصَفَفْنَا لَهُمْ صَفّاً طَوِيلًا وَ أَقَامَ عَلَى الشِّعْبِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ أَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ وَ قَالَ لَا تَبْرَحُوا مِنْ مَكَانِكُمْ هَذَا وَ لَوْ قُتِلْنَا عَنْ آخِرِنَا فَإِنَّمَا نُؤْتَى مِنْ مَوْضِعِكُمْ

And it is reported by Zayd bin Wahab Al Juhny, from Ahmad Bin Ammar, from Al Himany, from Shareek, from Usman Bin Al Mugheira, from Zayd Bin Wahab who said,

‘One day we found from Abdullah Bin Masoud goodness of self, so we said to him, ‘If you could narrate to us about the day of Ohad and how it was’. He said, ‘Yes’. Then he continued the Hadeeth until he ended up to the mention of the war and he said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Go out to them upon the Name of Allah^-azwj’. So we went out and lined up for him^-saww in a long line, and he got fifty men from the Helpers to stay upon the mountain pass and placed a man from them as a commander upon them and said: ‘Do not move from this position of yours, and even if the last one of us is killed, but rather we shall come from your place’.

قَالَ فَأَقَامَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ صَخْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ بِإِزَائِهِمْ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَ كَانَتِ الْأَلْوِيَةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ وَ كَانَ لِوَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَ كَانَ يُدْعَى كَبْشَ الْكَتِيبَةِ

He said, ‘Abu Sufyan got Sakhr Bin Harb to stand with Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, and the brigade of Quraysh among the clan of Abd Al-Dar, and the flag of the Polytheists was with Talha Bin Abu Talha, and he was called the ram battalion’.

‏ قَالَ وَ دَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِوَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ تَحْتَ لِوَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ اللِّوَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا أَصْحَابَ الْأَلْوِيَةِ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّمَا يُؤْتَى الْقَوْمُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَلْوِيَتِهِمْ وَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُمْ‏ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَلْوِيَتِكُمْ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ‏ تَرَوْنَ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ ضَعُفْتُمْ عَنْهَا فَادْفَعُوهَا إِلَيْنَا نَكْفِكُمُوهَا

He said, ‘And Rasool-Allah^-saww handed over the flag of the Emigrant to Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, and came and paused beneath the flag of the Helpers. Abu Sufyan came to the companions of the flag and said, ‘O companions of the flags! You have known rather that the people have come from the direction of their flags, and rather you have come on the day of Badr from the direction of your flags. If you view that you have weakened from it, then hand it over to us; we will withhold these.

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَ قَالَ أَ لَنَا تَقُولُ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ لَأُورِدَنَّكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ حِيَاضَ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ وَ كَانَ‏ طَلْحَةُ يُسَمَّى كَبْشَ الْكَتِيبَةِ قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ وَ تَقَدَّمَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَبْشُ الْكَتِيبَةِ فَمَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ

He said, ‘Talha Bin Abu Talha was angered and said, ‘You are saying this to us? By Allah^-azwj! We shall repel you with these today to the basins of death. And Talha was named as the battering ram. He said, ‘Go ahead!’ And Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws proceeded. Ali^-asws said: ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Talha Bin Abu Talha, the battering ram, so who are you^-asws?’ He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws am Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws’.

ثُمَّ تَقَارَبَا فَاخْتَلَفَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا ضَرْبَتَانِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ضَرْبَةً عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ فَبَدَرَتْ عَيْنُهُ‏ وَ صَاحَ صَيْحَةً لَمْ يُسْمَعْ مِثْلُهَا قَطُّ وَ سَقَطَ اللِّوَاءُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ أَخٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُصْعَبٌ فَرَمَاهُ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ أَخٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ فَرَمَاهُ عَاصِمٌ أَيْضاً بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَهُ

Then they came near each other and exchanged two strikes. Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws struck him a strike upon the front of his head, and his eye popped out, and he shouted a shriek the like of it had not been heard at all, and the flag fell from his hand. A brother of his called Mur’ab grabbed it, and Aasim Bin Sabit shot at him with an arrow and killed him. Then the flag was taken by a brother of his called Usman, and Aasim shot at him as well with an arrow and killed him.

فَأَخَذَهُ عَبْدٌ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ صُؤَابٌ وَ كَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ فَضَرَبَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَقَطَعَهَا فَأَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَضَرَبَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَقَطَعَهَا فَأَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ جَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَ هُمَا مَقْطُوعَتَانِ عَلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أُمِّ رَأْسِهِ فَسَقَطَ صَرِيعاً

A slave of theirs called Suwab took it, and he was from the strongest of the people. Ali^-asws struck him upon his hand and cut it. He grabbed the flag by his left hand, and Ali^-asws struck his left hand and cut it. Then he grabbed the flag upon his chest and gathered his hands to him, and they were cut, and Ali^-asws struck him upon the top of his head, and he fell down quickly.

فَانْهَزَمَ‏ الْقَوْمُ وَ أَكَبَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَصْحَابُ الشِّعْبِ النَّاسَ يَغْنِمُونَ قَالُوا يَذْهَبُ هَؤُلَاءِ بِالْغَنَائِمِ وَ نَبْقَى نَحْنُ فَقَالُوا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَزْمٍ الَّذِي كَانَ رَئِيساً عَلَيْهِمْ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَغْنَمَ كَمَا يَغْنَمُ‏ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أَبْرَحَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِي‏ هَذَا فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا وَ هُوَ لَا يَدْرِي أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى مَا تَرَى‏

The people were defeated and the Muslims leapt upon the war booty. When the companions at the mountain pass saw the people attaining booty, they said, ‘They are going away with the booty and we will remain (with nothing)’. They said to Abdullah Bin Umar Bin Hazam, who was a chief upon them, ‘We want to get the booty just as the people are getting’. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww has ordered me not to move from this place of mine’. They said to him, ‘He^-saww ordered you with this, and does not know that the matter will be reaching to what you see’.

وَ مَالُوا إِلَى الْغَنَائِمِ وَ تَرَكُوهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْرَحْ هُوَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ مِنْ‏ ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يُرِيدُهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فِي خِفٍّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ دُونَكُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَ فَشَأْنَكُمْ بِهِ فَحَمَلُوا عَلَيْهِ حَمْلَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْباً بِالسُّيُوفِ وَ طَعْناً بِالرِّمَاحِ وَ رَمْياً بِالنَّبْلِ وَ رَضْخاً بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَ جَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ص يُقَاتِلُونَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا

And they inclined towards the booty and they left him and he did not move from his place. Khalid Bin Al-Waleed attacked upon him and killed him. Then he came from behind Rasool-Allah^-saww, intending him^-saww. He looked at the Prophet^-saww among a group of his^-saww companions. He said to the ones with him^-saww, ‘Move aside! This is the one you want, so your fate will be with him^-saww’. They attacked upon him^-saww an attack of one man, striking with the swords and stabbing with the spears, and shooting with the arrows and throwing the stones, and the companions of the Prophet^-saww were fighting him until seventy men from them were killed.

وَ ثَبَتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ لِلْقَوْمِ يَدْفَعُونَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَكَثُرَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَفَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَيْنَيْهِ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِمَّا نَالَهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ مَا فَعَلَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ نَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَ وَلَّوُا الدُّبُرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَاكْفِنِي هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ قَدْ قَصَدُوا قَصْدِي

And Amir Al-Momineen^-asws and Abu Dajjana and Sahl Bin Huneyf were steadfast to the people defending the Prophet^-saww. The Polytheists became a lot against them, and Rasool-Allah^-saww opened his^-saww eyes and looked at Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, and there was fainting upon him^-asws from what he^-asws had received. He^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! What have the people done?’ He^-asws said: ‘They broke the covenant and turned back on their heels’. He^-saww said: ‘Then suffice me^-saww against them, those who are aiming for me^-saww’.

فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَكَشَفَهُمْ‏ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ حَمَلُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى فَكَرَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَشَفَهُمْ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ قَائِمَانِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ بِيَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا سَيْفٌ لِيَذُبَّ عَنْهُ وَ ثَابَ‏ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ الْمُنْهَزِمِينَ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَ صَعِدَ الْبَاقُونَ الْجَبَلَ

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws attacked upon them and removed them, then returned to him^-saww, and they had attacked upon him^-saww from another direction. He^-asws advanced to them and removed them. And Abu Dajjana and Sahl Bin Huneyf were both standing by his^-saww head, there being a sword in the hand of each of them, in order to defend him^-saww. And they returned to him^-saww from his^-saww defeated companions, fourteen men from whom were Talha Bin Ubeydullah and Aasim Bin Sabit and Sa’ad, the ones remaining at the mountain.

وَ صَاحَ صَائِحٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قُتِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَانْخَلَعَتْ لِذَلِكَ الْقُلُوبُ وَ تَحَيَّرَ الْمُنْهَزِمُونَ فَأَخَذُوا يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا وَ كَانَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ جَعَلَتْ لِوَحْشِيٍّ جُعْلًا عَلَى أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَوْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَوْ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَمَّا مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَا حِيلَةَ لِي فِيهِ لِأَنَّ أَصْحَابَهُ يُطِيفُونَ بِهِ وَ أَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَاتَلَ كَانَ أَحْذَرَ مِنَ الذِّئْبِ وَ أَمَّا حَمْزَةُ فَإِنِّي أَطْمَعُ فِيهِ لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا غَضِبَ لَمْ يُبْصِرْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

And a shouter shouted at Al-Medina, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww has been killed!’ The hearts were vacated due to that and the defeated ones were confused and they took to the right and left; and hind Bint Utba made a reward to be for a savage upon that he either kills Rasool-Allah^-saww or Amir Al-Momineen^-asws or Hamza^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws. He said, ‘As for Muhammad^-saww, there are no means for me regarding him^-saww because his^-saww companions tend to surround him^-saww, and as for Ali^-asws, when he^-asws fights he^-asws is more careful than the wolf, and as for Hamza^-asws, I shall covet regarding him^-asws, because he^-asws when he^-asws is angered, does not see in front of him^-asws’.

وَ كَانَ حَمْزَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ أُعْلِمَ بِرِيشَةِ نَعَامَةٍ فِي صَدْرِهِ فَكَمَنَ لَهُ وَحْشِيٌّ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ فَرَآهُ حَمْزَةُ فَبَدَرَ بِالسَّيْفِ إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً أَخْطَأَتْ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ وَحْشِيٌّ وَ هَزَزْتُ‏ حَرْبَتِي حَتَّى إِذَا تَمَكَّنْتُ مِنْهُ رَمَيْتُهُ فَأَصَبْتُهُ‏ فِي أُرْبِيَّتِهِ فَأَنْفَذْتُهُ وَ تَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَرَدَ صِرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ حَرْبَتِي وَ شُغِلَ عَنِّي وَ عَنْهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِهَزِيمَتِهِمْ وَ جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ فَأَمَرَتْ بِشَقِّ بَطْنِ حَمْزَةَ وَ قَطْعِ كَبِدِهِ وَ التَّمْثِيلِ بِهِ فَجَدَعُوا أَنْفَهُ وَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَ مَثَّلُوا بِهِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَشْغُولٌ عَنْهُ لَا يَعْلَمُ بِمَا انْتَهَى‏ إِلَيْهِ الْأَمْرُ

And on that day Hamza^-asws was marked by wearing an ostrich feather in his^-asws chest. The savage waited in ambush for him^-asws at the base of a tree. Hamza^-asws saw him and went with the sword towards him and struck him with a strike missing his head. The savage said, ‘I aimed my spear until when I was enabled from him^-asws I threw it and hit him^-asws in his^-asws groin, and it was stuck in him^-asws, and I left him^-asws until when he^-asws was cold, I went to him^-asws and grabbed my spear, and the Muslims were too preoccupied from me and him^-asws with their defeat. And Hind came and ordered with splitting the belly of Hamza^-asws and cut out his^-asws liver and make an example with him^-asws. I cut off his^-asws nose, and his^-asws ears, and played with it; and Rasool-Allah^-saww was preoccupied from him^-asws, not knowing of the matter which had ended up to him^-asws.

قَالَ الرَّاوِي لِلْحَدِيثِ وَ هُوَ زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَهُ‏ إِلَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ فَقَالَ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ إِلَّا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَحْدَهُ وَ ثَابَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص نَفَرٌ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُمْ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَ أَبَا دُجَانَةَ وَ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ وَ لَحِقَهُمْ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ

The reporter of the Hadeeth said, and he is Zayd Bin Wahab, ‘I said to Ibn Masoud, ‘The people ran away from Rasool-Allah^-saww until there did not remain with him^-saww except Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws and Abu Dujana and Sahl Bin Huneyf’. He said, ‘The people were defeated except Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws alone, and a number returned to Rasool-Allah^-saww, and the first of them was Aasim Bin Sabit, and Abu Dujana, and Sahl Bin Huneyf, and Talha Bin Ubeydullah met them.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَ أَيْنَ‏ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ قَالَ كَانَا مِمَّنْ تَنَحَّى‏ قُلْتُ وَ أَيْنَ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ قَالَ جَاءَ بَعْدَ ثَالِثَةٍ مِنَ الْوَاقِعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَقَدْ ذَهَبْتَ فِيهَا عَرِيضَةً

I said to him, ‘And where were Abu Bakr and Umar?’ He said, ‘They were both from the ones who isolated themselves’. I said, ‘And where was Usman?’ he said, ‘He came after three days from the event. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to him: ‘You had gone wherein was display (assets)’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مِمَّنْ تَنَحَّى قُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَاصِمٌ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ثُبُوتَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَقَامِ لَعَجَبٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ تَعَجَّبْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ تَعَجَّبَتْ مِنْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ هُوَ يَعْرُجُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ. قُلْتُ لَهُ‏ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ عُلِمَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ النَّاسُ صَائِحاً يَصِيحُ فِي السَّمَاءِ بِذَلِكَ فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ ص عَنْهُ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ‏ جَبْرَئِيلُ

He said, ‘I said to him, ‘And where were you?’ He said, ‘I was from the ones who had isolated’. I said to him, ‘Who narrated to you with this?’ He said, ‘Aasim and Sahl Bin Huneyf’. He said, ‘I said to him, ‘The steadfastness of Ali^-asws in that position is astounding’. He said, ‘If you are marvelling from that, so the Angels had also been astonished from him^-asws. Do you not know that Jibraeel^-as said during that day, and he^-as ascending to the sky: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar, and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws”. I said to him, ‘From where did you know that from Jibraeel^-as?’ He said, ‘The people heard a shouter in the sky with that, so they asked the Prophet^-saww about him, and he^-saww said: ‘That is Jibraeel^-as.

وَ فِي حَدِيثِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا تَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مُتَقَلِّداً سَيْفَهُ‏ حَتَّى قَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا بَالُكَ لَمْ تَفِرَّ مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْجِعُ كَافِراً بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِي

In a Hadeeth of Imran Bin Husayn who said, ‘When the people separated from Rasool-Allah^-saww during the day of Ohad, Ali^-asws came wearing his^-asws sword until he^-asws stood in front of him^-saww. Rasool-Allah^-saww raised his^-saww head towards him^-asws and said to him^-asws: ‘What is the matter you^-asws did not flee with the people?’ He^-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Should I^-asws turn to be a Kafir after my^-asws Islam?’

فَأَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى قَوْمٍ انْحَدَرُوا مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَهَزَمَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَهَزَمَهُمْ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَهَزَمَهُمْ

Then he^-saww gestured for him^-asws to a group of people who had rolled down from the mountain, and he^-asws attacked upon them and defeated them. Then he^-saww gestured towards another group, and he^-asws attacked upon them and defeated them. Then he^-saww gestured towards another group and he^-asws attacked upon them and defeated them.

فَجَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَجِبَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ عَجِبْنَا مَعَهَا مِنْ حُسْنِ مُوَاسَاةِ عَلِيٍّ لَكَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَا يَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ هَذَا وَ هُوَ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا

Jibraeel^-as came and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The Angels are astounded and we are astounded with them, from the excellence of the consolation of Ali^-asws for you^-asws with himself^-asws’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And what would prevent him^-asws from this and he^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as am from you^-asws both’’.

وَ رَوَى الْحَكَمُ بْنُ ظُهَيْرٍ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏ أَنَّ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ خَرَجَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ فَنَادَى يَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُعَجِّلُنَا بِسُيُوفِكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ يُعَجِّلُكُمْ‏ بِسُيُوفِنَا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَأَيُّكُمْ يَبْرُزُ إِلَيَّ فَبَرَزَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُفَارِقُكَ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ حَتَّى أُعَجِّلَكَ بِسَيْفِي إِلَى النَّارِ

And it is reported by Al-Hakam Bin Zahar, from Al-Sudy, from Abu Malik, from Ibn Abbas, ‘Talha Bin Abu Talha went out on that day and stopped between the swords calling out, ‘O companions of Muhammad^-saww! You are claiming that Allah^-azwj the Exalted is Hastening us to the Fire through your swords and hastening you to Paradise through our swords, so which one of you will come to duel me?’ Amir Al-Momineen^-asws went out to him for the duel and said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! I^-asws will not separate from you today until I^-asws hasten you to the Fire by my^-asws sword!’

فَاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَطَعَهُمَا فَسَقَطَ فَانْكَشَفَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ وَ الرَّحِمَ فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ إِلَى مَوْقِفِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَ لَا أَجْهَزْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ‏ نَاشَدَنِي اللَّهَ وَ الرَّحِمَ وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَا عَاشَ بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً فَمَاتَ طَلْحَةُ فِي مَكَانِهِ وَ بُشِّرَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِذَلِكَ فَسَرَّ بِهِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا كَبْشُ الْكَتِيبَةِ

They exchanged strikes. Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws struck him upon his legs and cut them and he fell down, and he was uncovered, and said to him^-asws, ‘I adjure you^-asws with Allah^-azwj O cousin (of Rasool-Allah^-saww), and (show) mercy’. He^-asws turned away from him to go to his^-asws place. The Muslims said to him^-asws, ‘Will you not finish upon him?’ He^-asws said: ‘He adjured me^-asws with Allah^-azwj and the mercy. By Allah^-azwj! He will not live after it, ever!’ Talha died in his place and the Prophet^-saww gave glad tidings with that to the Prophet^-saww and he^-saww was cheered by it and said: ‘This (Ali^-asws) is the battering ram.

وَ قَدْ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَقُولُ‏ لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَحِقَنِي مِنَ الْجَزَعِ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْحَقْنِي قَطُّ وَ لَمْ أَمْلِكْ نَفْسِي وَ كُنْتُ أَمَامَهُ أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَرَجَعْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ فَقُلْتُ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِيَفِرَّ وَ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى وَ أَظُنُّهُ رُفِعَ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ

And it has been reported by Marwan Bin Umara, from Ikrima who said, ‘I heard Ali^-asws saying: ‘When the people ran away from Rasool-Allah^-saww on the day of Ohad, the alarm came to me^-asws regarding him^-saww what had not faced me^-asws before at all and I^-asws could not control myself^-asws, and I^-asws was in front of him^-asws striking with my^-asws sword. I^-asws returned searching for him^-asws but could not see him^-saww and I^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww would not flee and I^-asws do not see him^-saww among the killed ones and I^-asws think he^-saww has been Raised from between us to the sky’.

فَكَسَرْتُ جَفْنَ سَيْفِي وَ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ بِهِ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ وَ حَمَلْتُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَأَفْرَجُوا عَنِّي وَ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ فَقُمْتُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ‏ مَا صَنَعَ النَّاسُ يَا عَلِيُّ فَقُلْتُ كَفَرُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ وَلَّوُا الدُّبُرَ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ وَ أَسْلَمُوكَ

The sheath of my^-asws sword broke and I^-asws said within myself^-asws: ‘I^-asws shall keep fighting with it to defend him^-saww until I^-asws am killed, and I^-asws attacked upon the people and they fled from me^-asws, and there I^-asws was with Rasool-Allah^-saww who had fallen upon the ground unconsciousness upon him^-saww. I^-asws stood by his^-saww head and he^-saww looked at me^-asws and said: ‘What have the people done, O Ali^-asws?’ I^-asws said: ‘They became Kafirs, O Rasool-Allah^-saww and turned their backs from the enemy and submitted you^-saww’.

فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى كَتِيبَةٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ‏ فَقَالَ لِي رُدَّ عَنِّي يَا عَلِيُّ هَذِهِ الْكَتِيبَةَ فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَضْرِبُهَا بِسَيْفِي يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا حَتَّى وَلَّوُا الْأَدْبَارَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ يَا عَلِيُّ مَدِيحَكَ‏ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ مَلَكاً يُقَالُ لَهُ رِضْوَانُ يُنَادِي لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ. فَبَكَيْتُ سُرُوراً وَ حَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَى نِعْمَتِهِ

The Prophet^-saww looked at a battalion which had come towards him, so he^-saww said to me^-asws: ‘Return this battalion from me^-saww, O Ali^-asws!’ I^-asws attacked upon it striking them with my^-asws sword, right and left until they turned their backs. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! Can you^-asws not hear your^-asws praise in the sky? The Angel called Rizwan is calling out: “There is no sword like Zulfiqar, and there is no youth (Momin) like Ali^-asws. I^-asws cried with joy and praised Allah^-azwj the Glorious and Exalted upon His^-azwj Favour’.

وَ قَدْ رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: نَادَى مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ

And it has been reported by Al Hassan Bin Arafat, from Umara Bin Muhammad, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf,

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws having said: ‘An Angel call out from the sky on the day of Ohad: “There is no sword like Zulfiqar, and there is no youth (Momin) like Ali^-asws”’.

و روى مثل ذلك إبراهيم بن محمد بن ميمون عن عمرو بن ثابت عن محمد بن عبيد الله بن أبي رافع عن أبيه عن جده قال‏ ما زلنا نسمع أصحاب رسول الله ص يقولون نادى في يوم أحد مناد من السماء لا سيف إلا ذو الفقار و لا فتى إلا علي

And similar to that is reported by Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Maymoun, from Amro Bin Sabit, from Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah Bin Abay, raising from his father, from his grandfather who said,

‘We did not cease to hear the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww saying there was a call from the sky on the day of Ohad: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) like Ali^-asws.

و روى سلام بن مسكين عن قتادة عن سعيد بن المسيب قال‏ لو رأيت مقام علي يوم أحد لوجدته قائما على ميمنة رسول الله ص يذب عنه بالسيف و قد ولى غيره الأدبار

And it is reported by Salam Bin Miskeen, from Qatada, from Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab who said, ‘If you had seen the position of Ali^-asws on the day of Ohad you would have found him^-asws standing on the right of Rasool-Allah^-saww defending him^-saww with the sword and the others had turned their backs’.

وَ رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: كَانَ أَصْحَابُ اللِّوَاءِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ تِسْعَةً قَتَلَهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ وَ انْهَزَمَ الْقَوْمُ وَ طَارَتْ مَخْزُومٌ فَضَحَهَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَوْمَئِذٍ

And it is reported by Al Hassan Bin Mahboub who said, ‘It was narrated to us by Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Ubeyda,

‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws having said: ‘There were nine bearers of the flag on the day of Ohad. Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws killed up to the last one of them and the people (Muslims) were defeated and Makhzum fled, and Ali^-asws exposed them on that day’’.

قَالَ: وَ بَارَزَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ الْحَكَمَ‏ بْنَ الْأَخْنَسِ فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَطَعَ رِجْلَهُ مِنْ نِصْفِ الْفَخِذِ فَهَلَكَ مِنْهَا وَ لَمَّا جَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ تِلْكَ الْجَوْلَةَ أَقْبَلَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ هُوَ دَارِعٌ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَتَلَهُ أُمَيَّةُ وَ صَمَدَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَضَرَبَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ فَنَشِبَ فِي بَيْضَةِ مِغْفَرِهِ فَضَرَبَهُ أُمَيَّةُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَاتَّقَاهَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِدَرَقَتِهِ فَنَشِبَ فِيهَا وَ نَزَعَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ سَيْفَهُ مِنْ مِغْفَرِهِ وَ خَلَّصَ أُمَيَّةُ سَيْفَهُ مِنْ دَرَقَتِهِ أَيْضاً ثُمَّ تَنَاوَشَا

He said, ‘And Ali^-asws duelled Al-Hakam Bin Al-Akhnas on that day and struck him, cutting off his left from the middle of the thigh, and he died from it. And when the Muslims were roaming, Umayya Bin Abu Huzeyfa Bin Al-Mugheira came, and he was armoured, and he was saying, ‘A day for the day of Badr’. A man from the Muslims presented to him, but Umayya killed him and Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws blocked him and struck him with the sword upon his head and got it stuck in his helmet. Umayya struck him with his sword and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws saved it by his^-asws shield and it got stuck in it, and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws removed his^-asws sword from his helmet and Umayya removed his sword from his^-asws shield, then they both skirmished.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى فَتْقٍ تَحْتَ إِبْطِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فِيهِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ وَ انْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُ

Ali^-asws said: ‘I^-asws looked at a rupture beneath his armpit and I^-asws struck him with the sword in it and killed him, and left from him’.

وَ لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ وَ ثَبَتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا لَكَ لَا تَذْهَبُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ‏ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَذْهَبُ وَ أَدَعُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا بَرِحْتُ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُنْجِزَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ مِنَ النُّصْرَةِ

And when the people fled from the Prophet^-saww during the day of Ohad and Amir Al-Momineen^-asws was steadfast, the Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘What is the matter you^-asws did not go with the people?’ Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Should I^-asws go and leave you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-azwj? I^-asws will not move until either I^-asws am killed or Allah^-azwj Fulfils to you^-saww what He^-azwj Promised you^-saww of the Help’.

فَقَالَ‏ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَبْشِرْ يَا عَلِيُّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُنْجِزٌ وَعْدَهُ وَ لَنْ يَنَالُوا مِنَّا مِثْلَهَا أَبَداً ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى كَتِيبَةٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ احْمِلْ‏ عَلَى هَذِهِ يَا عَلِيُّ فَحَمَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَتَلَ مِنْهَا هِشَامَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ الْمَخْزُومِيَّ وَ انْهَزَمَ الْقَوْمُ

The Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘Receive glad tidings, O Ali^-asws, for Allah^-azwj will Fulfil His^-azwj Promised and they will not attain from us the like of it, ever!’ Then he looked at a battalion which has approached him^-saww, so he^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘Attack upon this, O Ali^-asws!’ Amir Al-Momineen^-asws attacked upon it and from it Hisham Bin Umayya Al-Mahzumy was killed and the group fled.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتْ كَتِيبَةٌ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص احْمِلْ عَلَى هَذِهِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَتَلَ مِنْهَا عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُمَحِيَ‏ وَ انْهَزَمَتْ أَيْضاً ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتْ كَتِيبَةٌ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص احْمِلْ عَلَى هَذِهِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَتَلَ مِنْهَا بِشْرَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْعَامِرِيَّ وَ انْهَزَمَتِ الْكَتِيبَةُ وَ لَمْ يَعُدْ بَعْدَهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ تَرَاجَعَ الْمُنْهَزِمُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص

Then another battalion came, and the Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘Attack upon this’. He^-asws attacked upon it and killed from them Amro Bin Abdullah Al-Juhmy, and it fled as well. Then another battalion came, and the Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘Then another battalion came and the Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘Attack upon this’. He^-asws attacked upon it and killed from it Bishr Bin Malik Al-Aamiry and the battalion fled and not one of them returned after it, and the defeated ones from the Muslims returned to the Prophet^-saww.

وَ انْصَرَفَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ انْصَرَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ وَ مَعَهَا إِنَاءٌ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ وَجْهَهُ وَ لَحِقَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ قَدْ خَضَبَ الدَّمُ يَدَهُ إِلَى كَتِفِهِ وَ مَعَهُ ذُو الْفَقَارِ فَنَاوَلَهُ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ وَ قَالَ لَهَا خُذِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ فَقَدْ صَدَقَنِي الْيَوْمَ وَ أَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ‏

When they woke up, they said, ‘We disbelieved’. And Abu Sufyan came to be high on top of the mountain with his god (idol) Hobal and said, ‘Lofty is Hobal!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said on that day: ‘Allah^-azwj is Loftier and more Majestic’. The teeth of Rasool-Allah^-saww were broken and he^-saww complained of it and said: ‘We adjure You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj about what You^-azwj Promised me^-saww, so if You^-azwj so Desire You^-azwj will not be worshipped’.

I^-asws fell down on the ground during four of them, and there came to me^-asws a man of white face, good body, aromatic smell.

‘Tafseer Al Ayyashi’ – From Al Husayn Bin Hamza who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^-asws saying: ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww saw what had happened with Hamza^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws, he^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise and to You^-azwj I^-saww complain, and You^-asws are the Assister upon what I^-saww see’.

Then he^-saww said: ‘If I^-saww were to win I^-saww shall reciprocate and reciprocate’. Allah^-azwj Said: And if you punish, then retaliate with the like of that which you were punished with; and if you are patient, it will be best for those who are patient [16:126]. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww will be patient, I^-saww will be patient’’.[36]

28- عم، إعلام الورى‏ ثم كانت غزوة أحد على رأس سنة من بدر و رئيس المشركين‏ يومئذ أبو سفيان بن حرب و كان أصحاب رسول الله ص يومئذ سبعمائة و المشركون ألفين و خرج رسول الله ص بعد أن استشار أصحابه و كان رأيه ص أن يقاتل الرجال على أفواه السكك و يرمي الضعفاء من فوق البيوت فأبوا إلا الخروج إليهم

‘Ilaam Al-Wara’ – Then it was the battle of Ohad at the beginning of the year from Badr and the chief of the Polytheists on that day was Abu Sufyan Bin Harb, and on that day the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww were seven hundred and the Polytheists were two thousand. And Rasool-Allah^-saww went out after he^-saww had consulted his^-saww companions, and his^-saww view was that the men should fight at the entrance of the markets and the weak ones should shoot (arrows) from above the houses. But they refused except for going out to them.

فلما صار على الطريق قالوا نرجع فقال ما كان لنبي إذا قصد قوما أن يرجع عنهم و كانوا ألف رجل فلما كانوا في بعض الطريق انخزل عنهم عبد الله بن أبي بثلث الناس و قال‏ و الله ما ندري على ما نقتل أنفسنا و القوم قومه و همت بنو حارثة و بنو سلمة بالرجوع ثم عصمهم الله جل و عز و هو قوله‏ إِذْ هَمَّتْ طائِفَتانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلا الآية

When they came to be upon the road, they said, ‘We should return’. He^-saww said: ‘It is not for a Prophet^-saww when he^-saww aims his^-saww people that he^-saww should return from them’. And they were a thousand men. When they were on one of the roads, Abdullah Bin Abu Baslas abandoned the people and said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! We do not know upon what we are killing ourselves, and the people are his^-saww people’; and the clan of Haris and clan of Salma thought of returning. Then Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Protected them, and it is His^-azwj Word: When two groups from you had shown cowardice, [3:122] – the Verse.

و أصبح رسول الله ص متهيئا للقتال و جعل على راية المهاجرين عليا عليه السلام و على راية الأنصار سعد بن عبادة و قعد رسول الله ص في راية الأنصار ثم مر ص على الرماة و كانوا خمسين رجلا و عليهم عبد الله بن جبير فوعظهم و ذكرهم و قال اتقوا الله و اصبروا و إن رأيتمونا يخطفنا الطير فلا تبرحوا مكانكم حتى أرسل إليكم

And Rasool-Allah^-saww woke up in the morning prepared for the fighting and made Ali^-asws to be upon the flag of the Emigrants, and Sa’ad Bin Ubada upon the flag of the Helpers, and Rasool-Allah^-saww sat among the flag of the Helpers. Then he^-saww passed by the archers, and they were fifty men and upon them was Abdullah Bin Jubeyr. He^-saww advised them and mentioned to them and said: ‘Fear Allah^-azwj and be patient, and even if you see the birds ravaging us, do not move from your positions until I^-saww send a message to you’.

و أقامهم عند رأس الشعب و كانت الهزيمة على المشركين و حسهم المسلمون بالسيوف حسا فقال أصحاب عبد الله بن جبير الغنيمة ظهر أصحابكم‏ فما تنتظرون فقال عبد الله أ نسيتم قول رسول الله ص أما أنا فلا أبرح موقفي الذي عهد إلي فيه رسول الله ما عهد فتركوا أمره و عصوه بعد ما رأوا ما يحبون و أقبلوا على الغنائم

And he^-saww made them stand at the top of the mountain pass, and the defeat happened upon the Polytheists and the Muslims attacked them with swords in an attack. The companions of Abdullah Bin Jubeyr said, ‘Your companions have overcome upon the war booty, so why are you waiting?’ Abdullah said, ‘Are you forgetting the words of Rasool-Allah^-saww? As for me, so, I will not move from my position, which I had pacted with Rasool-Allah^-saww what he^-saww pacted’. But they neglected his orders and disobeyed him after they saw what they loved, and they came upon the booty.

فخرج كمين المشركين عليهم خالد بن الوليد فانتهى إلى عبد الله بن جبير فقتله ثم أتى الناس من أدبارهم و وضع في المسلمين السلاح فانهزموا و صاح إبليس لعنه الله قتل محمد و رسول الله يدعوهم في أخراهم أيها الناس إني رسول الله‏ إن الله قد وعدني النصر فإلى أين الفرار

The ambush of the Polytheists emerged, upon them being Khalid Bin Al-Waleed and ended up to Abdullah Bin Jubeyr and killed him. Then he came to the people from their back and placed the weapons among the Muslims and they were defeated. Iblees^-la, may Allah^-azwj Curse him^-la shouted: ‘Muhammad^-saww is killed!’, and Rasool-Allah^-saww was calling out among their last ones: ‘O you people! I^-saww am Rasool-Allah^-saww. Surely Allah^-azwj has Promised me^-saww the Help, so where are you fleeing to?’

فيسمعون الصوت‏ وَ لَا يَلْوُونَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ ذَهَبَتْ صَيْحَةُ إِبْلِيسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ بُيُوتَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَصَاحَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ وَ لَمْ تَبْقَ هَاشِمِيَّةٌ وَ لَا قُرَشِيَّةٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَتْ يَدَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَ خَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ تَصْرُخُ

They were hearing the voice and were not turning around to anything, and the shout of Iblees^-la until it entered the houses of Al-Medina. (Syeda) Fatima^-asws shrieked and there did not remain any Hashemite nor a Qurayshite woman except she placed her hand upon her head, and (Syeda) Fatima^-asws went out screaming.

Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘The people fled from Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he^-saww was angered with severe anger, and it was so that whenever he^-saww was angry, there rolled down from his^-saww face and his^-saww forehead, perspiration like the pearls. He^-saww looked around there was Ali^-asws to his^-saww side. He^-saww said: ‘What is the matter you did not adhere with the sons of your^-asws father^-as?’ Ali^-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Should I^-asws have adopted Kufr after Eman? There is an example for me^-asws in you^-saww’.

فَقَالَ أَمَّا لَا فَاكْفِنِي هَؤُلَاءِ فَحَمَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَضَرَبَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا

He^-saww said: ‘But no, so suffice me^-saww of these ones’. Ali^-asws attacked and struck the first one from them he^-asws met. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘This here is the consolation, O Muhammad^-saww!’ He^-saww said: ‘He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said:’ And I^-as am from you^-asws both’.

وَ ثَابَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَحْشٍ وَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وَ شَمَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ وَ الْبَاقُونَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ

And a group of his^-saww companions returned to Rasool-Allah^-saww, and seventy men from the Muslims were killed, four were from the Emigrants – Hamza^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws, and Abdullah Bin Jahash, and Mus’ab Bin Umeyr, and Shammas Bin Usman Bin Al-Shareed, and the rest were from the Helpers.

قَالَ وَ أَقْبَلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أُبَيُّ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذَا ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ بُؤْ بِذَنْبِكَ لَا نَجَوْتُ إِنْ نَجَوْتَ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ وَ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَقَاهُ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ بِنَفْسِهِ فَطَعَنَ مُصْعَباً فَقَتَلَهُ

And on that day Ubay Bin Khalaf came and he was upon a horse of his and he was saying, ‘This is Ibn Abu Kabasha (Prophet^-saww) guilty of doing wrong to you. There is no survival if he^-saww survives’, and Rasool-Allah^-saww was between Al-Haris Bin Al-Simmat and Shal Bin Huneyf, reclining upon them. He attacked upon him^-saww, and Mus’ab Bin Umeyr saved him^-saww, so he stabbed Mus’ab, killing him.

فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنَزَةً كَانَتْ فِي يَدِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ثُمَّ طَعَنَ أُبَيّاً فِي جِرِبَّانِ الدِّرْعِ فَاعْتَنَقَ فَرَسُهُ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِ وَ هُوَ يَخُورُ خُوَارَ الثَّوْرِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَيْلَكَ مَا أَجْزَعَكَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ خَدْشٌ لَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ يَا ابْنَ حَرْبٍ أَ تَدْرِي مَنْ طَعَنَنِي إِنَّمَا طَعَنَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ وَ هُوَ قَالَ لِي بِمَكَّةَ إِنِّي سَأَقْتُلُكَ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلِي وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ مَا بِي كَانَ بِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ لَقَضَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَخُورُ الْمَلْعُونُ حَتَّى صَارَ إِلَى النَّارِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww grabbed a stick which was in the hand of Sahl Bin Huneyf, then stabbed Ubay in his shield and his horse bolted and he ended up with his soldiers and he was snorting the snorting of the bull. Abu Sufyan said, ‘Woe be unto you! What has panicked you? But rather it is a scratch; it isn’t anything’. He said, ‘Woe be unto you, O ibn Harb! Do you know who stabbed me? But rather Muhammad^-saww stabbed me and he^-saww had said to me at Makkah: ‘I^-saww will be killing you’, so I knew that he^-saww is my killer. By Allah^-azwj! Even if the people of Al-Hijaz had gathered against me I would have destroyed them’. The accursed did not cease to snort until he went to the Fire’.

وَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ‏ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا انْتَهَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ وَ صَفِيَّةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ نَظَرَتَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَمَّا عَمَّتِي فَاحْبِسْهَا عَنِّي وَ أَمَّا فَاطِمَةُ فَدَعْهَا فَلَمَّا دَنَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ رَأَتْهُ قَدْ شُجَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ أُدْمِيَ فُوهُ إِدْمَاءً صَاحَتْ وَ جَعَلَتْ تَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ وَ تَقُولُ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَدْمَى وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ كَانَ يَتَنَاوَلُ فِي يَدِهِ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا يَسِيلُ مِنَ الدَّمِ فَيَرْمِيهِ‏ فِي الْهَوَاءِ فَلَا يَتَرَاجَعُ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ

And in the book of Aban Bin Usman – ‘When (Syeda) Fatima^-asws and Safiya ended up to Rasool-Allah^-saww and they looked at him^-saww, he^-saww said to Ali^-asws: ‘As for my^-saww aunt, withhold her from me^-saww, and as for (Syeda) Fatima^-asws, call her’. When (Syeda) Fatima^-asws came near to Rasool-Allah^-saww and she^-asws saw him^-saww to have a scratch in his^-saww face and bleeding from his^-saww mouth, she^-asws shrieked and went on to wipe the blood and saying: ‘May Allah^-azwj Intensify His^-azwj Wrath upon the one who bled the face of Rasool-Allah^-saww’, and Rasool-Allah^-saww was taking in his^-saww hand what was flowing from the blood and threw it in the air, and nothing from it returned’.

قَالَ الصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ لَنَزَلَ الْعَذَابُ

Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! If something from him^-saww had fallen upon the ground, the Punishment would have descended’’.

قَالَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَنْهُ الصَّبَّاحُ بْنُ سَيَابَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ كَمَا يَقُولُهُ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا سَلِيماً وَ لَكِنَّهُ شُجَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ قُلْتُ فَالغَارُ فِي أُحُدٍ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص صَارَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَرِحَ مَكَانَهُ وَ قِيلَ لَهُ أَ لَا تَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ قَوْمِي

Abad Bin Usman said, ‘That was narrated to me from Al-Sabbah Bin Sayaba who said, ‘I said, ‘Were his^-saww teeth broke just as they are saying it?’ He^-asws said: ‘No by Allah^-azwj! Allah^-azwj did not Capture him^-saww except as whole, but there was a bruise in his^-saww face’. I said, ‘There is a cave in Ohad which they are claiming that Rasool-Allah^-saww went to it’. He^-asws said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! He^-saww did not move from his^-saww position, and it was said to him^-saww, ‘Will you^-saww not supplicate against them?’ He^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Guide my^-saww people (for they do not know)’’.

وَ رَمَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ بِقَذَّافَةٍ فَأَصَابَ كَفَّهُ حَتَّى نَدَرَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَ قَالَ خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَ أَنَا ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَذَلَّكَ اللَّهُ وَ أَقْمَأَكَ‏ وَ ضَرَبَهُ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى أَدْمَى فَاهُ وَ رَمَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شِهَابٍ بِقُلَاعَةٍ فَأَصَابَ مِرْفَقَهُ وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ مَاتَ مِيتَةً سَوِيَّةً فَأَمَّا ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ فَأَتَاهُ تَيْسٌ وَ هُوَ نَائِمٌ بِنَجْدٍ فَوَضَعَ قَرْنَهُ فِي مَرَاقِّهِ ثُمَّ دَعَسَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِي وَا ذُلَّاهْ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ قَرْنَيْهِ مِنْ تَرْقُوَتِهِ

And Ibn Qamiya pelted Rasool-Allah^-saww with a projectile, and it his his^-saww palm until the sword fell from his^-saww hand, and he said, ‘Take it from me, and I am Ibn Qamiya’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘May Allah^-azwj Disgrace you and Humiliate you’; and Abd Utba Bin Ab Waqas struck him^-saww with the sword until his^-saww mouth bled; and Abdullah Bin Shihab pelted him^-saww with a rock and hit his^-saww elbow; and there is none from these who died a normal death. As for Ibn Qamiya, a goat came to him while he was sleeping at Najd and placed its horn inside him, then trampled him, and he went on calling out, ‘O the disgrace!’, until its horn came out from his collar’.

وَ كَانَ وَحْشِيٌّ يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطْعِمٍ وَ كُنْتُ عَبْداً لَهُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً قَتَلَ عَمِّي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ يَعْنِي طُعَيْمَةَ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَ مُحَمَّداً فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ وَ إِنْ قَتَلْتَ عَمَّ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ وَ إِنْ قَتَلْتَ ابْنَ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ فَخَرَجْتُ بِحَرْبَةٍ لِي مَعَ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى أُحُدٍ أُرِيدُ الْعِتْقَ‏ لَا أُرِيدُ غَيْرَهُ وَ لَا أَطْمَعُ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قُلْتُ لَعَلِّي أُصِيبُ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ أَوْ حَمْزَةَ غِرَّةً فَأَزْرُقَهُ وَ كُنْتُ لَا أُخْطِئُ فِي رَمْيِ الْحِرَابِ تَعَلَّمْتُهُ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ فِي أَرْضِهَا وَ كَانَ حَمْزَةُ يَحْمِلُ حَمَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَوْقِفِهِ

And the savage was saying, ‘Jubeyr Bin Mat’am said to me, and I was a slave of his, ‘Ali^-asws killed my uncle on the day of Badr, meaning Tuayma. If you were to kill Muhammad^-saww, then you are free, and if you kill the uncle^-ra of Muhammad^-saww, then you are free, and if you were to kill the cousin^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, then you are free’. I went out with Quraysh with a spear of mine, to Ohad, wanting the freedom, not wanting anything else, nor coveting regarding Muhammad^-saww and I said, ‘Perhaps I shall attain from Ali^-asws or Hamza^-asws by deception’. And I did not use to err in my throwing of the spear. I had learnt it from an Ethiopian woman in her land’, and he attacked Hamza^-asws with his^-asws attack, then he returned to his place.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ زَرَقَهُ وَحْشِيٌّ فَوْقَ الثَّدْيِ فَسَقَطَ وَ شَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَأَخَذَ وَحْشِيٌّ الْكَبِدَ فَشَدَّ بِهَا إِلَى هِنْدٍ بِنْتِ عُتْبَةَ فَأَخَذَتْهَا فَطَرَحَتْهَا فِي فِيهَا فَصَارَتْ مِثْلَ الدَّاغِصَةِ فَلَفَظَتْهَا

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘And the Savage hit him^-asws above the breast and he^-asws fell, and he was harsh upon him. The savage took the liver and took it to Hind Bint Utba, She grabbed it and dropped it in her mouth, and it became like the bone, and she spat it out.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ الْحُلَيْسُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَ بِيَدِهِ رُمْحٌ يَجَأُ بِهِ فِي شِدْقِ حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَيِّدُ قُرَيْشٍ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِابْنِ عَمِّهِ الَّذِي قَدْ صَارَ لَحْماً وَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ ذُقْ عُقَقُ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ صَدَقْتَ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ مِنِّي زَلَّةٌ اكْتُمْهَا عَلَيَّ

He said, ‘And Al-Huleys Bin Alqama looked at Abu Sufyan and he was upon a horse, and in his hand was a spear. He came with it and poked the jaw of Hamza^-asws and said, ‘O community of the clan of Kinana! Look at the one they claimed he was the chief of Quraysh, what has happened with his cousin, the one who has become meat’. And Abu Sufyan said, ‘Taste it!’ Abu Sufyan said, ‘You speak the truth, but rather it was an error from me which was concealed upon me’.

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَنَادَى بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَ حَيٌّ ابْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ فَأَمَّا ابْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَاهُ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ إِي وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ فِي قَتْلَاكُمْ مُثْلَةٌ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَمَرْتَ وَ لَا نَهَيْتَ إِنَّ مِيعَادَنَا بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوْسِمُ بَدْرٍ فِي قَابِلِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ

He said, ‘And Abu Sufyan said, calling out to one of the Muslims, ‘Is Ibn Abu Kabasha alive. As for the son of Abu Talib^-asws, we have seen him^-asws in his^-asws place’. Ali^-asws said: ‘Yes, by the One^-azwj Who Sent him^-saww with the Truth, he^-saww is listening to your speech’. He said, ‘Surely there has been a reciprocity in your killed one. By Allah^-azwj, I neither instructed nor forbidden it. Our appointment between us and you would be in the season of Badr in the coming year of this month.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قُلْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ إِنَّ ابْنَ قَمِيئَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ مُحَمَّداً وَ أَنْتَ أَصْدَقُ عِنْدِي مِنْهُ وَ أَبَرُّ ثُمَّ وَلَّى إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَ قَالَ اتَّخِذُوا اللَّيْلَ جَمَلًا وَ انْصَرِفُوا

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Say yes’. He^-asws said: ‘Yes’. Abu Sufyan said to Ali^-asws, ‘Ibn Qamiya informed me that he had killed Muhammad^-saww and you^-asws are more truthful in my present than he is, and more righteous’. Then he turned around to his companions and said, ‘Take the camels at night and leave!’

ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيّاً فَقَالَ اتَّبِعْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ أَيْنَ يُرِيدُونَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا رَكِبُوا الْخَيْلَ وَ سَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا رَكِبُوا الْإِبِلَ وَ سَاقُوا الْخَيْلَ فَهُمْ مُتَوَجِّهُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww called Ali^-asws and said: ‘Follow them and look where they are intending (to go to). If they were riding the horses and ushering the camels, then they are intending Al-Medina, but if they were riding the camels and ushering the horses, then they are heading to Makkah.

وَ قِيلَ إِنَّهُ بَعَثَ لِذَلِكَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ

And it is said he^-saww sent Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqas for that.

فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ خَيْلَهُمْ تَضْرِبُ بِأَذْنَابِهَا مَجْنُوبَةً مُدْبِرَةً وَ رَأَيْتُ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ تَجَمَّلُوا سَائِرِينَ فَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِذَهَابِ الْعَدُوِّ فَانْتَشَرُوا يَتَتَبَّعُونَ قَتْلَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا قَتِيلًا إِلَّا وَ قَدْ مَثَّلُوا بِهِ إِلَّا حَنْظَلَةَ بْنَ أَبِي عَامِرٍ كَانَ أَبُوهُ مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَتُرِكَ لَهُ وَ وَجَدُوا حَمْزَةَ قَدْ شُقَّ بَطْنُهُ وَ جُدِعَ أَنْفُهُ وَ قُطِعَتْ أُذُنَاهُ وَ أُخِذَ كَبِدُهُ‏

He^-asws returned and said: ‘I^-asws saw their horses unridden turning back and I^-asws saw the people had gathered together walking’. The selves of the Muslims felt good with the going away of the enemy, and they dispersed to look at their killed ones. But they did not find any killed one except that he had been mutilated, except for Hanzala Bin Abu Aamir. His father was with the polytheists so he was left, and they found Hamza^-asws, his^-asws belly had been split open and his^-asws nose slit, and his^-asws ears cut off, and his^-asws liver taken.

فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ وَ قَالَ لَأُمَثِّلَنَّ بِسَبْعِينَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ‏ وَ إِنْ عاقَبْتُمْ فَعاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ ما عُوقِبْتُمْ‏ بِهِ‏ الْآيَةَ فَقَالَ بَلْ أَصْبِرُ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww ended up to him^-asws, the sight choked him, and he^-saww said: ‘I^-saww will reciprocate with seventy from Quraysh’. Allah^-azwj the Glorious Revealed: And if you punish, then retaliate with the like of that which you were punished with; [16:126] – the Verse. He^-saww said: ‘But I^-saww shall be patient’.

وَ قَالَ مَنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تُغَسِّلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي سَفْحِ الْجَبَلِ فَسَأَلُوا امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ هُوَ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْغَسِيلُ

And he said, ‘Who is that man whom the Angels washed in the base of the mountain?’ They asked his wife and she said, ‘He had gone out while he was with sexual impurity, and he is Hanzala Bin Abu Aamir, the washed one’.

قَالَ أَبَانٌ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ قُزْمَانُ بِحُسْنِ مَعُونَتِهِ لِإِخْوَانِهِ وَ ذُكُوِّهِ فَقَالَ ص إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ قُزْمَانَ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَقَالَ يَفْعَلُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Aban said, ‘And it was narrated to me by Abu Baseer, from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘It was mentioned to Rasool-Allah^-saww about a man from his^-saww companions called Quzman about his helping his brothers and his cleverness. He^-saww said: ‘Surely, he is from the people of the Fire’. Rasool-Allah^-saww came and it was said, ‘Quzman has been martyred’. He^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj Does Whatever He^-azwj so Desires to’. Then Rasool-Allah^-saww came and it was said, ‘He killed one person’. He^-saww said: ‘Bear witness that I^-saww am Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ قُزْمَانُ قَاتَلَ قِتَالًا شَدِيداً وَ قَتَلَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ سِتَّةً أَوْ سَبْعَةً فَأَثْبَتَتْهُ الْجِرَاحُ فَاحْتَمَلَ إِلَى دُورِ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَبْشِرْ يَا قُزْمَانُ فَقَدْ أَبْلَيْتَ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ بِمَ تُبَشِّرُونِ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قَاتَلْتُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَحْسَابِ قَوْمِي وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ مَا قَاتَلْتُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْجِرَاحَةُ جَاءَ إِلَى كِنَانَتِهِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا مِشْقَصاً فَقَتَلَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ

He^-asws said: ‘And Quzman had fought a severe battle and killed six from the Polytheists, or seven. He was injured and was carried to the hoses of the clan of Zafar. The Muslims said to him, ‘Receive glad tidings, O Quzman, for you have been Tested today’. He said, ‘For what are you giving me glad tidings. By Allah^-azwj! I did not fight except about the accounting of my people, and had it not been for that I would not have fought’. When the injuries were severe upon him, he came to kinana and grabbed a sharp-edged arrow and killed himself with it’.

قَالَ: وَ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ قُتِلَ أَبُوهَا وَ زَوْجُهَا وَ أَخُوهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَدَنَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قِيَامٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ‏ لِرَجُلٍ أَ حَيٌّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَوْسَعُوا لَهَا فَدَنَتْ مِنْهُ وَ قَالَتْ كُلُّ مُصِيبَةٍ جَلَلٌ بَعْدَكَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ

He said, ‘And there was a woman from the clan of Najjar whose father and husband and brother had been killed with Rasool-Allah^-saww. She approached Rasool-Allah^-saww and the Muslims were standing by his^-saww head and said to a man, ‘Is Rasool-Allah^-saww alive?’ He said, ‘Yes’. She said, ‘Can I look at him^-saww?’ He said, ‘Yes’, and they made space for her. She went near him^-saww and said, ‘Every difficulty is grave after you^-saww’, then left.

قَالَ وَ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ دُفِنَ الْقَتْلَى فَمَرَّ بِدُورِ بَنِي الْأَشْهَلِ وَ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ فَسَمِعَ بُكَاءَ النَّوَائِحِ عَلَى قَتْلَاهُنَّ فَتَرَقْرَقَتْ عَيْنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ لَكِنَّ حَمْزَةَ لَا بَوَاكِيَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهَا سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ قَالا لَا تَبْكِيَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ حَمِيمَهَا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ فَتُسْعِدَهَا فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْوَاعِيَةَ عَلَى حَمْزَةَ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ ارْجِعْنَ رَحِمَكُنَّ اللَّهُ فَقَدْ آسَيْتُنَّ بِأَنْفُسِكُنَّ

He said, ‘And Rasool-Allah^-saww left to go to Al-Medina when the killed ones were buried. He^-saww passed by the houses of the clan of Ash’al and clan of Zafar, and he^-saww hear wailing of the lamenters upon their killed ones. The eyes of Rasool-Allah^-saww filled up and he^-saww cried, then said: ‘But Hamza^-asws is such, no one is crying for him^-asws today’. When Sa’ad Bin Muaz and Aseyd Bin Huzeyr heard it, they said, ‘No woman should cry over her intimate one until (Syeda) Fatima^-asws come and you please her^-asws’. When Rasool-Allah^-saww heard the activity upon Hamza^-asws and he^-saww was in the presence of (Syeda) Fatima^-asws at the door of the Masjid, he^-saww said: ‘Return, may Allah^-azwj have Mercy on you, for I^-saww feel sorry for yourselves’’.

ثم كانت غزوة حمراء الأسد قَالَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ لَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ مِنْ يَوْمِ أُحُدٍ نَادَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَجَابُوهُ فَخَرَجُوا عَلَى عِلَّتِهِمْ وَ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَرْحِ وَ قَدَّمَ عَلِيّاً بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِرَايَةِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى حَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَهُمُ‏ الَّذِينَ اسْتَجابُوا لِلَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما أَصابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ‏

Then there was the military expedition of Hamra Al-Asad. Aban Bin Usman said, ‘When it was the next morning from the day of Ohad, Rasool-Allah^-saww call out among the Muslims and they answered him^-saww. They came out being upon their pains and upon what had afflicted them from the sored, and Ali^-asws came forwards in front of him^-saww with the flag of the Emigrants until he^-asws ended up to Hamra Al-Asad. Then he^-saww returned to Al-Medina. Thus, they are Those who responded to Allah and the Rasool (at Ohad) after the wound had befallen them, for those of them who are doing good (to others) and are pious shall be a great Recompense [3:172].

وَ خَرَجَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الرَّوْحَاءِ فَأَقَامَ بِهَا وَ هُوَ يَهُمُّ بِالرَّجْعَةِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَقُولُ قَدْ قَتَلْنَا صَنَادِيدَ الْقَوْمِ فَلَوْ رَجَعْنَا اسْتَأْصَلْنَاهُمْ فَلَقِيَ مَعْبَداً الْخُزَاعِيَّ فَقَالَ مَا وَرَاءَكَ يَا مَعْبَدُ قَالَ قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ تَرَكْتُ مُحَمَّداً وَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَ هُمْ يُحْرِقُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ‏ وَ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى مُقَدِّمَتِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ مَعَهُ مَنْ كَانَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ وَ قَدْ دَعَانِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ قُلْتُ شِعْراً قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ مَا ذَا قُلْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ

And Abu Sufyan went out until he ended up at Al-Rawha and stayed at it, and he was considering the return to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘The militias of our people are killed. If we were to return, we will eradicate them’. He met Ma’bad Al-khuzaie, and he said, ‘What is behind you, O Ma’bad?’ He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I left Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions, and they were moving against you, and this Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws has proceeded on his^-saww front among the people, and he^-saww has gathered with him^-saww the one who had stayed behind from him^-saww, and it called me to say a poem’. Abu Sufyan said, ‘And what is that which you said?’

كَانَتْ تَهُدُّ مِنَ الْأَصْوَاتِ رَاحِلَتِي		إِذْ سَالَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِالْجُرْدِ الْأَبَابِيلِ
تُرْدِي بِأُسْدٍ كِرَامٍ لَا تَنَابِلَةٍ		عِنْدَ اللِّقَاءِ وَ لَا خُرْقٍ مَعَاذِيلِ

الْأَبْيَاتَ

He said, ‘I said, ‘My mount was shaken by the thunderous cries, as the earth surged with companies of swift, bare horses in successive ranks, charging forth with noble lions, no sluggish cowards when battle is joined, nor clumsy, blameworthy weaklings’ – (The couplets).

فَثَنَّى ذَلِكَ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ رَكْبٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ يُرِيدُونَ الْمِيرَةَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبْلِغُوا مُحَمَّداً أَنِّي قَدْ أَرَدْتُ الرَّجْعَةَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ لِأَسْتَأْصِلَهُمْ وَ أُوقِرَ لَكُمْ رِكَابَكُمْ زَبِيباً إِذَا وَافَيْتُمْ عُكَاظَ فَأَبْلَغُوا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ بِحَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ فَقَالَ ص وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ وَ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ

Abu Sufyan and the ones with him praised that. Then riders from Abd Al-Qays passed by him intending to bring provisions from Al-Medina. He said to them, ‘Deliver to Muhammad^-saww that I have intended the return to his^-saww companions in order to eradicate them, and I shall full up your baskets with raising when you arrive at Ukaz’. They delivered that to him^-saww and he^-saww was at Hamra Al-Asad. He^-saww and the Muslims with him^-saww said: Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173]. And Rasool-Allah^-saww returned to Al-Medina on the day of Friday.

قَالَ وَ لَمَّا غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَمْرَاءَ الْأَسَدِ وَثَبَتْ فَاسِقَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَطْمَةَ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَصْمَاءُ أُمُّ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ تَمْشِي فِي مَجَالِسِ الْأَوْسِ وَ الْخَزْرَجِ وَ تَقُولُ شِعْراً تُحَرِّضُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ لَيْسَ فِي بَنِي حَطْمَةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْلِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ

He said, ‘And when Rasool-Allah^-saww sent a military expedition at Hamra Al-Asad, a mischief-making woman from the clan of Hatama, call Al-Mas’ama Umm al Manzar Bin Al-Manzar walked among the gatherings of Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj saying poetry inciting against the Prophet^-saww, and there wasn’t any Muslim among the clan of Hatama on that day except one called Umeyr Bin Aday.

فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص غَدَا عَلَيْهَا عُمَيْرٌ فَقَتَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَتَلْتُ أُمَّ الْمُنْذِرِ لِمَا قَالَتْهُ مِنْ هُجْرٍ فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ نَصَرَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْتَطِحُ فِيهَا عَنْزَانِ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww returned, Umeyr went to her and killed them. Then he came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘I killed Umm Al-Manzar due to what she had said from desertion’. Rasool-Allah^-saww tapped upon his shoulder and said: ‘This is a man who helps Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww in the absence. But, not two goats will lock horns therein’.

قَالَ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَمَرَرْتُ بِبَنِيهَا وَ هُمْ يَدْفِنُونَهَا فَلَمْ يَعْرِضْ لِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي‏

Umeyr Bin Aday said, ‘I woke up in the morning and passed by her two sons and they were burying her, and not one of them presented to me nor spoke to me’’.[37]

29- كشف، كشف الغمة قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ فِي الْمَغَازِي‏ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا فَرَّ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مَا زَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص شِبْراً وَاحِداً يَرْمِي مَرَّةً عَنْ قَوْسِهِ وَ مَرَّةً بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَ صَبَرَ مَعَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا سَبْعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ سَبْعَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ

‘Kashf Al-Gumma’ – Al-Waqidy said in (the book) ‘Al-Magazy’, ‘When the people fled on the day of Ohad, the Prophet^-saww did not stop being pelted by a single palm, sometimes from his^-saww bow and sometimes with the stone, and fourteen men were patient with him^-saww, seven from the Emigrant and seven from the Helpers – Abu Bakr, and Abdul Rahman Bin Awf, and Ali Bin Abu Talib^-asws, and Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqas, and Talha Bin Ubeydullah, and Abu Ubeyda Bin Al Jarrah, and al Zubeyr Bi Al Awwam.

وَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْحُبَابُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الصِّمَّةِ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَ يُقَالُ ثَبَتَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَجَعَلُوهُمَا مَكَانَ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ وَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ

And from the Helpers were Al Hubab Bin Al Munzar, and Abu Dujana, and Aasim Bin Sabit, and Al-Haris bin Al-Simmat, and Sahl Bin Huneyf, and Useyd bin Huzeyr, and Sa’ad Bin Muaz, and it is said there were steadfast Sa’ad Bin Ubada and Muhammad Bin Maslama, and they were in place of Aseyd bin Huzeyr and Sa’ad bin Muaz.

وَ بَايَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ خَمْسَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَ طَلْحَةُ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الصِّمَّةِ وَ حُبَابُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ فَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ

And there pledged allegiance to him^-saww upon the death, three from the emigrants and five from the Helpers – Ali^-asws, and Al Zubeyr, and Talha, and Abu Dujana, and Al Haris Bin Al Simmat, and Hubab Bin Al-Munzar, and Aasim Bin Sabit, and Sahl Bin Huneyf. Not one of them was killed.

وَ أُصِيبَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَيْنُ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ عَلَى وَجْنَتِهِ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ‏ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ تَحْتِي امْرَأَةً شَابَّةً جَمِيلَةً أُحِبُّهَا وَ تُحِبُّنِي فَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ تُقَذِّرَ مَكَانَ عَيْنِي فَأَخَذَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَرَدَّهَا فَأَبْصَرَتْ وَ عَادَتْ كَمَا كَانَتْ لَمْ تُؤْلِمْهُ سَاعَةً مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَسَنَّ هِيَ أَقْوَى عَيْنِي وَ كَانَتْ أَحْسَنَهُمَا

And on day an eye of Qatada Bin Al-Numan was injured to the extent that it fell upon his cheek. He said, ‘I came to the Prophet^-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Under (married to) me is a beautiful young woman. I love her and she loves me, so I fear she might dislike the place of my eye’. Rasool-Allah^-saww took it and returned it, and it had vision and returned to be as it used to be, without paying him for even a moment from a night or day. He was saying afterwards, ‘In my old age it is the strongest of my eye and it is the better of the two’.

وَ بَاشَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْقِتَالَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَ رَمَى حَتَّى فَنِيَتْ نَبْلُهُ وَ أَصَابَ شَفَتَيْهِ وَ رَبَاعِيَتَهُ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَ وَقَعَ ص فِي حُفْرَةٍ وَ ضَرَبَهُ ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ فَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ سَيْفُهُ شَيْئاً إِلَّا وَهْنَ الضَّرْبَةِ بِثِقْلِ السَّيْفِ وَ انْتَهَضَ وَ طَلْحَةُ تَحْمِلُهُ‏ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى قَائِماً

And the Prophet^-saww undertook the fighting himself^-saww and shot arrows until his arrows rant out, and his^-saww lips and his^-saww teeth were injured by Utba Bin Abu Waqas and he^-saww fell in a hole, and Ibn Qamiya struck him^-saww, but his sword could not do anything except for a weak strike like the weight of the sword, and he^-saww got up and Talha carried him^-saww from behind him^-saww, and Ali^-asws grabbed his^-saww hand until he^-saww stood upright.

وَ عَنْ أَبِي بَشِيرٍ الْحَارِثِيِ‏ حَضَرْتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَ أَنَا غُلَامٌ فَرَأَيْتُ ابْنَ قَمِيئَةَ عَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِالسَّيْفِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فِي حُفْرَةٍ أَمَامَهُ حَتَّى تَوَارَى فَجَعَلْتُ أَصِيحُ وَ أَنَا غُلَامٌ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ ثَابُوا إِلَيْهِ

And from Abu Bashir Al Harsy, ‘I was present on the day of Ohad and I was a boy and I saw Ibn Qamiya on top of Rasool-Allah^-saww with the sword, and he^-saww had fallen upon his^-saww knees in a hollow in the ground in front of him^-saww until he^-saww was covered, and he^-saww went on to shout, and I was a young boy, until the people moved back towards him^-saww.

وَ يُقَالُ‏ الَّذِي شَجَّهُ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَ الَّذِي أَشْظَى رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَ أَدْمَى شَفَتَهُ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَ الَّذِي أَدْمَى وَجْنَتَيْهِ حَتَّى غَابَ الْحَلْقُ‏ فِي وَجْنَتِهِ ابْنُ قَمِيئَةَ وَ سَالَ الدَّمُ مِنْ جَبْهَتِهِ حَتَّى أَخْضَلَ لِحْيَتَهُ وَ كَانَ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ يَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ فَعَلُوا هَذَا بِنَبِيِّهِمْ وَ هُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

And it is said, ‘The one who bruised in his^-saww face was Ibn Shihab, and the one who fragments his^-saww teeth was Utba Bin Abu Waqas, and the one who bled his cheeks until the throat could not be seen, and Ibn Qamiya hit him^-saww with his shield and the blood flowed from his^-saww forehead until his^-saww beard was soaked, and Salim, a slave of Abu Huzeyfa washed the blood away from his^-saww face and he was saying, ‘How can a people who have done this with their Prophet^-saww’, and he was calling them to Allah^-azwj. Allah^-azwj Revealed: There isn’t anything for you from the matter, whether He Turns to them [3:128] – the Verse.

وَ ذَكَرَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ فِي مُسْنَدِهِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ‏ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ دُووِيَ جُرْحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَجِي‏ءُ بِالْمَاءِ فِي تُرْسِهِ وَ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ‏ تَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ أَخَذَ حَصِيراً فَأَحْرَقَ وَ حَشَى بِهِ جُرْحَهُ‏

And it is mentioned by Ahmad Bin Hanbal in his (book) ‘Musnad’, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl, ‘With which thing were the injuries of Rasool-Allah^-saww cured?’ He said, ‘Ali^-asws came with the water in his^-asws shield and (Syeda) Fatima^-asws washed the blood from his^-saww face, and took some straw and burnt it and stuffed his^-saww injuries with it.

وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ وَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَ انْفَرَدَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْهُمْ فِرْقَةٌ خَشْنَاءُ فِيهَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَدَخَلْتُ وَسْطَهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِهِ وَ اشْتَمَلُوا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أَفْضَيْتُ إِلَى آخِرِهِمْ ثُمَّ كَرَّرْتُ فِيهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ حَتَّى رَجَعْتُ مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتُ وَ لَكِنَّ الْأَجَلَ اسْتَأْخَرَ وَ يَقْضِي‏ اللَّهُ أَمْراً كانَ مَفْعُولًا قَالَ وَ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّى‏ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعانِ‏

And Ali^-asws said: ‘And you would have seen me^-asws on that day and a group was separate from them wherein had assembled Ikrima Bin Abu Jahl. I^-asws entered in their midst with the sword and struck with it and I^-asws made them panic up to the last of them. Then I^-asws advanced among them for a second time until they returned to where they had come from, and I^-asws hastened the delayed and for Allah to Accomplish a matter which was to be done [8:42]’. And Usman was from those who turned back on the day when the two armies met (at Ohad) [3:166].

وَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ‏ نَادَى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مُنَادٍ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌ‏

And Ibn Abu Najeeh said, ‘A caller called out on that day: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar, nor any youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws.[38]

30- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ مُعَنْعَناً عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ الْيَمَانِيِ‏ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرَ بِالْجِهَادِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ سِرَاعاً يَتَمَنَّوْنَ لِقَاءَ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَ بَغَوْا فِي مَنْطِقِهِمْ وَ قَالُوا وَ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ لَقِينَا عَدُوَّنَا لَا نُوَلِّي حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ عَنْ آخِرِنَا رَجُلٌ أَوْ يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ لَنَا

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Abu Al-Qasim Bin Hammad, transmitting from Huzeyfa Al-Yamani, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww ordered with the Jihad on the day of Ohad, so the people came out quickly coveting meeting their enemies, and (some) rebelled in their reasoning and said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! If we were to meet our enemies we will not return until the last man from us is killed, by Allah^-azwj Grants us victory’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ ابْتَلَاهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْهُمْ وَ مِنْ بَغْيِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى انْهَزَمُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا قَدْ نَزَلَ بِالنَّاسِ مِنَ الْهَزِيمَةِ وَ الْبَلَاءِ رَفَعَ الْبَيْضَةَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَ جَعَلَ يُنَادِي أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنَا لَمْ أَمُتْ وَ لَمْ أُقْتَلْ وَ جَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً لَا يَلْوُونَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

He said, ‘When they came to the people, Allah^-azwj Tried them with that which was from them, and from their rebellion, so they did not remain except for a little while until they fled from Rasool-Allah^-saww, except for Ali Bin Abu Talib^-asws, and Abu Dujana Simak Bin Kharsha Al-Ansary. When Rasool-Allah^-saww saw what had befallen the people from the defeat and the disaster, he raised the helmet from his^-saww head and went on calling out: ‘O you people! I^-saww have not died and have not been killed!’ And the people went on mounting upon each other, not turning towards Rasool-Allah^-azwj.

فَلَا يَلْتَفِتُونَ‏ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَمْ يَكْتَفُوا بِالْهَزِيمَةِ حَتَّى قَالَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ رَجُلًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قُتِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمَّا آيَسَ الرَّسُولُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ إِلَّا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَبَا دُجَانَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ ذَهَبَ النَّاسُ فَالْحَقْ بِقَوْمِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى هَذَا بَايَعْنَاكَ وَ بَايَعْنَا اللَّهَ وَ لَا عَلَى هَذَا خَرَجْنَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبايِعُونَكَ إِنَّما يُبايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ‏

They were not turning around towards him^-saww and they did not cease to be like that until they entered Al-Medina, and they did not stop with the desertion until the best of them men said within himself, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww has been killed’. When the Rasool^-saww had despaired of the people, he returned to his^-saww place he^-saww had been in, and did not see except Ali^-asws and Abu Dujana Al-Ansary. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Abu Dujana! The people are gone, so be with your people’. Abu Dujana said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I did not pledge allegiance to you^-saww and Allah^-azwj upon this, nor did we come out upon this. Allah^-azwj the Exalted is Saying: Surely, those pledging allegiance to you are rather pledging their allegiances to Allah, the Hand of Allah being Above their hands [48:10]’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ أَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتِكَ فَارْجِعْ فَقَالَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحَدِّثُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي الْخُدُورِ أَنِّي أَسْلَمْتُكَ وَ رَغِبْتُ بِنَفْسِي عَنْ نَفْسِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَكَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Abu Dujana! You are hereby free from your allegiance; therefore you can return’. Abu Dujana said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The women of the Helpers will not narrate in the veils that I submitted you^-saww (to the enemies) and desired my own self instead of yours^-saww. O Rasool-Allah^-saww! There is no good in the life after you^-saww’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَلَامَهُ وَ رَغْبَتَهُ فِي الْجِهَادِ انْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ فَاسْتَتَرَ بِهَا لِيَتَّقِيَ بِهَا مِنَ السِّهَامِ سِهَامِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى أُثْخِنَ‏ جِرَاحَةً فَتَحَامَلَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَ هُوَ مُثْخَنٌ لَا حَرَاكَ بِهِ

He said, ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww heard his speech and his desire regarding the Jihad, Rasool-Allah^-saww went to a rock and veiled himself^-saww with it from the arrows, arrows of the Polytheists. Abu Dujana did not remain except a little while before he was weakened by the injuries, and he was carried until he ended up to Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he sat to his^-saww side, and he was feebled, there being no movement with him.

قَالَ وَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَا يُبَارِزُ فَارِساً وَ لَا رَاجِلًا إِلَّا قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى انْقَطَعَ سَيْفُهُ فَلَمَّا انْقَطَعَ سَيْفُهُ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص انْقَطَعَ سَيْفِي وَ لَا سَيْفَ لِي فَخَلَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَيْفَهُ ذَا الْفَقَارِ فَقَلَّدَ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ مَشَى إِلَى جَمْعِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَكَانَ لَا يَبْرُزُ لَهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا قَتَلَهُ

He said, ‘And Ali^-asws neither duelled a horseman nor a foot soldier except Allah^-azwj Killed him at his^-asws hand, until his^-asws sword was cut. When his^-asws sword was cut, he^-asws came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! My^-asws sword is cut and there is no sword for me^-asws’. Rasool-Allah^-saww gave his^-saww sword Zulfiqar and collared Ali^-asws with it, and he^-asws walked to the gathering of the Polytheists. It was so that no one duelled him^-asws except he^-asws killed him.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى وَهَنَتْ ذِرَاعُهُ‏ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ فِيهِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ جَعَلْتَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وَزِيراً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ لِتَشُدَّ بِهِ عَضُدَهُ وَ تُشْرِكَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ وَ جَعَلْتَ لِي وَزِيراً مِنْ أَهْلِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخِي فَنِعْمَ الْأَخُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَزِيرُ

He^-asws did not cease to be upon that until his^-asws armour was weakened, and Rasool-Allah^-saww recognised that in him^-asws. Rasool-Allah^-saww looked towards the sky and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Muhammad^-saww is Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww. You^-azwj Made a vizier for every Prophet^-as to be from his^-as family for his^-as back to be strengthened by him and participate in his^-as matter, and You^-azwj Made a vizier for me^-saww from my^-saww family, Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, my^-saww brother^-asws. He^-asws is the best of the brothers and best of the viziers.

اللَّهُمَّ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تُمِدَّنِي بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ‏ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ وَعْدَكَ وَعْدَكَ‏ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تُظْهِرَ دِينَكَ‏ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ‏

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Promised me^-saww that You^-azwj will Help me^-saww with four thousand of the Angels, following one another [8:9]. O Allah^-azwj: Your^-azwj Promise! surely, You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]. And You^-azwj Promised that You^-azwj will Make Your^-azwj Religion prevail upon all the Religions, and even if the Polytheists dislike it [9:33]’.

قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَدْعُو رَبَّهُ وَ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْهِ إِذْ سَمِعَ دَوِيّاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَ مَعَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ‏ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ‏ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ وَ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ

He said, ‘While Rasool-Allah^-saww was supplicating to his^-saww Lord^-azwj and beseeching to Him^-azwj when he^-saww heard a call from the sky. He^-saww raised his^-saww head and there was Jibraeel^-as upon a golden chair and with him^-as were four thousand of the Angels, following one another [8:9], and he^-saww was saying: ‘There is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws and there is no sword except Zulfiqar’.

فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ وَ حَفَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ص يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِالَّذِي‏ أَكْرَمَكَ بِالْهُدَى لَقَدْ عَجِبَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ لِمُوَاسَاةِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ لَكَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مَا يَمْنَعُهُ يُوَاسِينِي بِنَفْسِهِ وَ هُوَ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا حَتَّى قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً

Jibraeel^-as descended upon the rock and the Angels surrounded Rasool-Allah^-saww and greeted him^-saww. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! By the One^-azwj Who Honoured you^-saww with the Guidance! The Angels of Proximity are astounded at the consolation of this man for you^-saww by himself^-asws’. He^-saww said: ‘O Jibraeel^-as! And what prevents him^-asws from consoling me^-saww by himself^-asws and he^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws?’ Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as from you^-asws both’ – until he^-as said it thrice.

ثُمَّ حَمَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ حَمَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى هَزَمَ جَمْعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ تَشَتَّتَ‏ أَمْرُهُمْ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي‏ طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ مَعَهُ اللِّوَاءُ قَدْ خَضَبَهُ بِالدَّمِ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ خَلْفَهُ

Then Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws attacked, and Jibraeel^-as and the Angels attacked. Then Allah^-azwj the Exalted Defeated the forces of the Polytheists and scattered their affairs. Rasool-Allah^-saww went and Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws was in front of him^-saww and with him^-asws was the flag which had been dyed with the blood, and Abu Dujana was behind him^-asws.

فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ يَبْكِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمَّا نَظَرُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص اسْتَقْبَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ وَ مَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّاسِ‏ فَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ أَقَرُّوا بِالذَّنْبِ وَ طَلَبُوا التَّوْبَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ قُرْآناً يَعِيبُهُمْ بِالْبَغْيِ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْهُمْ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلْقَوْهُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ‏

When he^-saww arrived at Al-Medina, there the women of the Helpers were crying over Rasool-Allah^-azwj. When they looked at Rasool-Allah^-saww, the people of Al-Medina, all of them received him^-saww, and Rasool-Allah^-saww went to the Masjid and looked at the people, and they were beseeching to Allah^-azwj and to His^-azwj Rasool^-saww and acknowledging their sins and seeking repentance. Allah^-azwj Revealed in the Quran regarding them, faulting them for the rebellion which transpired from them, and that is the Word of the Exalted: And you were desiring the death before you met it, so you have seen it and you were looking on [3:143].

يَقُولُ قَدْ عَايَنْتُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَ الْعَدُوَّ فَلِمَ نَقَضْتُمُ الْعَهْدَ وَ جَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ قَدْ عَاهَدْتُمُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا تَنْهَزِمُوا حَتَّى قَالَ بَعْضُكُمْ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ‏ يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً وَ أَبَا دُجَانَةَ

He^-azwj is Saying that you all had seen the death and the enemy, and you did not break the covenant and you panicked from the death, and you had made a pact with Allah^-azwj that you will not flee, to the extent that some of you said, ‘Muhammad^-saww has been killed!’ Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; [3:144] – up to His^-azwj Words: and Allah would be Recompensing the grateful [3:144] – meaning Ali^-asws and Abu Dujana’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ رَغِبْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ عَنِّي وَ وَازَرَنِي عَلِيٌّ وَ وَاسَانِي فَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي وَ فَارَقَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O you people! You desired your own selves instead of me^-saww – and Ali^-asws backed me^-saww and consoled me^-saww. The one who obeys him^-asws has obeyed me^-saww and the one who disobeys him^-asws so he has disobeyed me^-saww and (so he) will be separate from me^-saww in the world and the Hereafter’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ لَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ يَعْقِلُ أَنْ يَشُكَّ فَمَنْ‏ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّنْ أَشْرَكَ بِهِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَنْهَزِمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَفْضَلُ مِمَّنِ انْهَزَمَ وَ إِنَّ السَّابِقَ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ أَفْضَلُ وَ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏

He said, ‘Huzeyfa said, ‘It isn’t befitting for anyone who has intellect that he doubts. The one who does not associate with Allah^-azwj, is superior to the one who does associate with Him^-azwj, and the one who does not flee from Rasool-Allah^-saww is superior than the one who does flee, and the one preceding to the Eman with Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww is superior, and he is Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws.[39]

‘Al Kafi’ – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Sinan, from Aban Bin Taghlub,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww enshrouded Hamza^-asws with his^-saww own cloth and did not wash him^-asws and did pray Salat over him^-asws’’.[40]

‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ of Al Mufeed, from Ibn Qawlawiya, from al Kulayni, from Ali, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez, from Ismail Bin Jabir and Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww buried his^-saww uncle^-asws Hamza^-asws in his^-asws own cloth with his^-asws blood which he^-asws had been afflicted with, and the Prophet^-saww increased it with a cloak, but it was too short from his^-asws legs, so he^-saww called for some plants and dropped them upon him^-asws and prayed Salat upon him^-asws seventy Salat and exclaimed Takbeer upon him^-asws with seventy Takbeers’’.[41]

‘Al Kafi’ – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysamy, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from No’man Al-Razy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullah^-asws has said: ‘The people ran away being defeated on the Day of Ohad, from the Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj. He^-saww became angry with intense anger’. He^-asws said: ‘Whenever he^-saww became angry, sweat would descend from his^-saww forehead like pearls’.

قَالَ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَقْ بِبَنِي أَبِيكَ مَعَ مَنِ انْهَزَمَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِي بِكَ أُسْوَةٌ قَالَ‏ فَاكْفِنِي هَؤُلَاءِ فَحَمَلَ فَضَرَبَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ‏ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ

He^-asws said: ‘So he^-saww looked around so there was Ali^-asws by his^-saww side. He^-saww said to him^-asws: Join with the sons of your^-asws father (and go after), the ones who have fled from the Rasool^-saww Allah^-azwj’. He^-asws said: ‘O Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, you^-saww are an example for me^-asws’. He^-saww said: ‘Suffice for me^-saww against these (enemies)’. He^-asws rode and struck the first one he^-asws met from them’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘This is the consolation, O Muhammad^-saww!’ He^-saww said: ‘He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I am from you^-asws both, O Muhammad^-saww’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌ‏.

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘The Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj looked towards Jibraeel^-as who was on a seat of gold in between the sky and the earth and he was saying: ‘There is not sword except for Zul-Faqar and no youth (Momin) like Ali^-asws’’.[42]

34- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَمْ أُقْتَلْ وَ لَمْ أَمُتْ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ فَقَالا الْآنَ يَسْخَرُ بِنَا أَيْضاً وَ قَدْ هُزِمْنَا وَ بَقِيَ مَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Al-Husayn Abu Al-A’ala Al-Khaffaf, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullah^-asws has said: ‘When the people were defeated on the Day of Ohad and fled from the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww turned towards them with his^-saww face and was saying: ‘I^-saww am Muhammad^-saww! I^-saww am the Rasool-Allah^-saww! I^-saww have neither been killed nor have I^-saww died’. So and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar) turned towards him^-saww saying, ‘Now he^-saww is mocking with us as well and we have been defeated. And there remained with him^-saww Ali^-asws and Samaak Bin Kharsha Abu Dujana, may Allah^-azwj have Mercy on him.

فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ يَا بَا دُجَانَةَ انْصَرِفْ‏ وَ أَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتِكَ فَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَهُوَ أَنَا وَ أَنَا هُوَ فَتَحَوَّلَ وَ جَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ بَكَى وَ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا جَعَلْتُ نَفْسِي فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتِي إِنِّي بَايَعْتُكَ فَإِلَى مَنْ أَنْصَرِفُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَى زَوْجَةٍ تَمُوتُ أَوْ وَلَدٍ يَمُوتُ أَوْ دَارٍ تَخْرَبُ وَ مَالٍ يَفْنَى وَ أَجَلٍ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فَرَقَّ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى أَثْخَنَتْهُ الْجِرَاحَةُ وَ هُوَ فِي وَجْهٍ وَ عَلِيٌّ فِي وَجْهٍ

The Prophet^-saww called him over and said: ‘O Abu Dujana! Leave, for you are free from your pledge of allegiance. As for Ali^-asws, so I^-saww am from him^-asws and he^-asws is from me^-saww’.  He came over and sat down in front of the Prophet^-saww and wept, and said, ‘No, by Allah^-azwj!’ And he raised his head towards the sky and said, ‘No, by Allah^-azwj! I will not make myself free from my pledge of allegiance. I gave my pledge of allegiance to you^-saww, so where shall I go, to a wife who will die, or a son who will die, or a house which will be ruined and wealth which will be destroyed, and a term (death) which comes nearer?’ The Prophet^-saww left him, and he did not stop fighting until he was weakened by the wounds and he was on one side of him^-saww and Ali^-asws was on the other side of him^-saww.

فَلَمَّا أُسْقِطَ احْتَمَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَوَضَعَهُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ وَفَيْتُ بِبَيْعَتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص خَيْراً وَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص الْمَيْمَنَةَ فَيَكْشِفُهُمْ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَإِذَا كَشَفَهُمْ أَقْبَلَتِ الْمَيْسَرَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَقَطَّعَ سَيْفُهُ بِثَلَاثِ قِطَعٍ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَطَرَحَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا سَيْفِي قَدْ تَقَطَّعَ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ أَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص ذَا الْفَقَارِ

When he dropped, Ali^-asws carried him to the Prophet^-saww and placed him in his^-saww presence. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww, have I been loyal to my pledge of allegiance?’ He^-saww said: ‘Yes’. And the Prophet^-saww said good things for him. And the people were attacking the Prophet^-saww from the right, so Ali^-asws defended him^-saww. When he^-asws defended him^-saww, they attacked the Prophet^-saww from the left. That situation did not cease until his^-asws sword broke into three pieces. He^-asws came to the Prophet^-saww. He^-asws displayed it in front him^-saww and said: ‘This is my^-asws sword which has broken. Thus, it was on that day that the Prophet^-saww gave him^-asws Zul-Faqar.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ص اخْتِلَاجَ سَاقَيْهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْقِتَالِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي وَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تُظْهِرَ دِينَكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ يُعْيِكَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْمَعُ دَوِيّاً شَدِيداً وَ أَسْمَعُ أَقْدِمْ حَيْزُومُ وَ مَا أَهُمُّ أَضْرِبُ أَحَداً إِلَّا سَقَطَ مَيِّتاً قَبْلَ أَنْ أَضْرِبَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ

And when the Prophet^-saww saw that (Ali^-asws) was exhausted due to the frequency of the fighting, he^-saww raised his^-saww head towards the sky and he wept and said: ‘O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj Promised me^-saww that You^-azwj would be Making Your^-azwj Religion to prevail, and if You^-azwj so Desire, it would not Tire You^-azwj’. Ali^-asws turned towards the Prophet^-saww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I^-asws heard a loud rumble and heard the galloping of Hayzoum (Horse of Jibraeel^-as), and I^-asws did not attack to strike anyone except that he would fall dead before I^-asws struck him. He^-saww said: ‘This was Jibraeel^-as and Mikaeel^-as, and Israfeel^-as among the Angels’.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَوَقَفَ إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا ثُمَّ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا عَلِيُّ امْضِ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى تُعَارِضَهُمْ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْقِلَاصَ وَ جَنَبُوا الْخَيْلَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ مَكَّةَ وَ إِنْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْخَيْلَ وَ هُمْ يَجْنُبُونَ الْقِلَاصَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ

Then Jibraeel^-as went and paused to the side of the Rasool-Allah^-saww. He said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww, this is the comfort’. He^-saww said: ‘Ali^-asws is from me^-asws, and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I am from both of you^-asws. Then the people (enemy) were defeated. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Ali^-asws: ‘O Ali^-asws! Go with your^-asws sword until you are opposite to them. If you^-asws see them riding the camels and the horses are by their side, then they are intending to go to Makkah. However, if you^-asws see them to be riding the horses and their camels are by their sides, so they are intending to go to Al-Medina.

فَأَتَاهُمْ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَكَانُوا عَلَى الْقِلَاصِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا عَلِيُّ مَا تُرِيدُ هُوَ ذَا نَحْنُ ذَاهِبُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَانْصَرِفْ إِلَى صَاحِبِكَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَكُلَّمَا سَمِعُوا. وَقْعَ حَوَافِرِ فَرَسِهِ جَدُّوا فِي السَّيْرِ وَ كَانَ يَتْلُوهُمْ فَإِذَا ارْتَحَلُوا قَالَ‏ هُوَ ذَا عَسْكَرُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ

Ali^-asws came up to them, and they were upon their camels, so Abu Sufyan said to Ali^-asws, ‘O Ali^-asws! What do you^-asws want. That is where we are going, to Makkah. Leave and go to your^-asws companion^-saww’. Jibraeel^-as followed them, and when they heard the galloping of his horse, they strived to move faster, and he kept following them. When they moved, they said, ‘It is the army of Muhammad^-saww which is coming’.

فَدَخَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ مَكَّةَ فَأَخْبَرَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ وَ جَاءَ الرُّعَاةُ وَ الْحَطَّابُونَ فَدَخَلُوا مَكَّةَ فَقَالُوا رَأَيْنَا عَسْكَرَ مُحَمَّدٍ كُلَّمَا رَحَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ نَزَلُوا يَقْدُمُهُمْ فَارِسٌ عَلَى أَشْقَرَ يَطْلُبُ آثَارَهُمْ فَأَقْبَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ عَلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يُوَبِّخُونَهُ

Abu Sufyan entered Makkah and informed them of the news. The shepherds and the woodcutters came, and they entered Makkah. They said, ‘We saw the army of Muhammad^-saww!’ All of them left. Abu Sufyan descended at Makkah and followed their footsteps horse to the horse. The people of Makkah came and addressed Abu Sufyan and reproached him.

وَ رَحَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الرَّايَةُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ هُوَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَشْرَفَ بِالرَّايَةِ مِنَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَ رَآهُ النَّاسُ نَادَى عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْكَلَامِ الَّذِي قَالَ الْآنَ يَسْخَرُ بِنَا وَ قَدْ هُزِمْنَا هَذَا عَلِيٌّ وَ الرَّايَةُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى هَجَمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ص

And the Prophet^-saww departed and the flag was with Ali^-asws and he^-asws was in front of him^-saww. When he^-asws came up with the flag while moving in front and when they reached ‘Al-Uqba’, and the people saw him^-asws, Ali^-asws called out: ‘O you people! This is Muhammad^-saww. He^-saww never died and he^-saww was never killed!’ The one who had said, ‘He^-saww is mocking us and we have been defeated’, said, ‘This is Ali^-asws and the flag is in his^-asws hands’, until the Prophet^-saww moved towards them.

وَ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَفْنِيَتِهِمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ دُورِهِمْ وَ خَرَجَ الرِّجَالُ إِلَيْهِ يَلُوذُونَ بِهِ وَ يَثُوبُونَ‏ إِلَيْهِ وَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ خَدَشْنَ الْوُجُوهَ وَ نَشَرْنَ الشُّعُورَ وَ جَزَزْنَ النَّوَاصِيَ وَ خَرَقْنَ الْجُيُوبَ وَ حَزَمْنَ الْبُطُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ قَالَ لَهُنَّ خَيْراً وَ أَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَسَتَّرْنَ‏ وَ يَدْخُلْنَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ

And the women of the Helpers were in their courtyards and on the doorways of their houses, and the men came out to him^-saww returning from their flight and escape. The women of the Helpers had scratched their faces, and spread their hair, and placed dust upon their foreheads, and had torn the sides of their dresses, and tied their abdomens for (the grief for) Prophet^-saww. When he^-saww saw them, he^-saww said good things for them and told them to cover themselves up and enter their respective houses.

وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُظْهِرَ دِينَهُ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى‏ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً الْآيَةَ

And he^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj Promised me^-saww that He^-azwj would Make His^-azwj Religion to prevail over all the Religions’. And Allah^-azwj Revealed unto Muhammad^-saww: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; so if he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And the one who turns back upon his heels, he will never harm Allah of anything and Allah would be Recompensing the grateful [3:144] – the Verse’’.[43]

35- تَفْسِيرُ النُّعْمَانِيِّ، بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ‏ الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزادَهُمْ إِيماناً وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي نُعَيْمِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص رَجَعَ‏ مِنْ غَزَاةِ أُحُدٍ وَ قَدْ قُتِلَ عَمُّهُ حَمْزَةُ وَ قُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ قُتِلَ وَ جُرِحَ مَنْ جُرِحَ وَ انْهَزَمَ مَنِ انْهَزَمَ وَ لَمْ يَنَلْهُ الْقَتْلُ وَ الْجُرْحُ

Tafseer Al-Numani – by his mentioned chain in the book ‘Al-Quran’, from Amir Al-Momineen^-asws regarding the Words of the Glorious: Those to whom the people said: ‘Surely the people have gathered against you, therefore fear them’; but this increased them in Eman, and they said: ‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173] – this Verse was Revealed regarding Nuaym Bin Masoud Al-Ashjaie, and that is when Rasool-Allah^-saww had returned from the battle of Ohad and his^-saww uncle^-asws Hamza^-ra had been killed, and the ones killed from the Muslims had been killed, and the ones who were injured had been injured, and the one who fled had fled and the killing and the injury did not afflict him.

أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنِ اخْرُجْ فِي وَقْتِكَ هَذَا لِطَلَبِ قُرَيْشٍ وَ لَا تُخْرِجْ مَعَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ‏ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَتْ بِهِ جِرَاحَةٌ فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ فَخَرَجُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجِرَاحِ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا مَنْزِلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ حَمْرَاءُ الْأَسَدِ وَ كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ قَدْ جَدَّتِ السَّيْرَ فَرَقاً

Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed to Rasool-Allah^-saww: “You^-saww should go out during this time of yours^-saww to seek Quraysh and no one from your^-saww companions should go out with you^-saww except the one who had injuries with him, so let them know of that”. They came out with him^-saww upon whatever was with them from the injuries until they descended at a place called Hamra Al-Asad, and Quraysh had travelled in a different route.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُمْ خُرُوجُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي طَلَبِهِمْ خَافُوا فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ يُقَالُ لَهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يُرِيدُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ صَخْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ يَا نُعَيْمُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أَضْمَنَ لَكَ عَشْرَ قَلَائِصَ وَ تَجْعَلَ طَرِيقَكَ عَلَى حَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ فَتُخْبِرَ مُحَمَّداً أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ مَدَدٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ حُلَفَائِنَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ كِنَانَةَ وَ عَشِيرَتِهِمْ وَ الْأَحَابِيشِ وَ تُهَوِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ فَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ عَنَّا

When it reached them, the coming out of Rasool-Allah^-saww in seeking them, they were frightened. A man from Ashja’a called Nueym Bin Masoud met them intending Al-Medina. Abu Sufyan Sakhr Bin Harb said to him, ‘O Nueym! Would it be for you if I were to guarantee ten baskets (of provisions) and you make your road to be towards Hamra Al-Asad and inform Muhammad^-saww that a lot of help has come to us from our allies from the Arabian archers and their tribes and the Ethiopians’, and terrify them with what you can, perhaps they will return from us’.

فَأَجَابَهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَ قَصَدَ حَمْرَاءَ الْأَسَدِ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ قُرَيْشاً يُصْبِحُونَ بِجَمْعِهِمُ الَّذِي لَا قِوَامَ لَكُمْ بِهِ فَاقْبَلُوا نَصِيحَتِي وَ ارْجِعُوا فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ اعْلَمْ أَنَّا لَا نُبَالِي بِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ‏ الَّذِينَ اسْتَجابُوا لِلَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ وَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَائِلُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَسَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ بِاسْمِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ‏

He answered him to that and aimed for Hamra Al-Asad and informed Rasool-Allah^-saww with that and said, ‘Quraysh will be coming with all their might, which there is no strength for you all withstand it, so accept my advice and return. The companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173], know that we don’t care of them’. Allah^-azwj the Glorious Revealed unto His^-azwj Rasool^-saww: Those who responded to Allah and the Rasool (at Ohad) [3:172] – up to His^-azwj Words: and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173]. And rather the speaker was Nueym Bin Masoud and Allah^-azwj Named him with the name of entirety of the people’’.[44]

‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Muawiya Bin Hukeym, from Al Bazanty, from one of his companions,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘It was from what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Conferred upon His^-azwj Rasool^-saww that he^-saww used to read and not write. When Abu Sufyan headed towards Ohad, Al-Abbas wrote to the Prophet^-saww, and the letter came and he^-saww was in one of the orchards of Al-Medina. He^-saww read it and did not inform his^-saww companions and instructed them to enter Al-Medina. When they entered Al-Medina, he^-saww informed them’’.[45]

Rasool-Allah^-saww took it from his hand then placed it in its place, and it was not possible to recognise except by the extra beauty of it over the other eye.

‘Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim’ – Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Yusuf, raising it to Ibn Abbas regarding His^-azwj Words: When you were ascending (the mount Ohad) and were not even glancing at any one, and the Rasool kept calling you [3:153]. He said, ‘There did not remain anyone from the people with him^-saww on the day of Ohad except Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws and a man from the Helpers. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! The people have done what you^-asws see’. He^-asws said: ‘No, by Allah^-azwj, O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I^-asws will not ask for (your^-saww) news from behind’.

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding the Words of Allah^-azwj: And others are waiting hopefully for the Command of Allah [9:106]. He^-asws said: ‘A group who used to be Polytheists, and they killed the likes of Hamza^-asws, and Ja’far^-asws, and the likes of these two^-asws from the Momineen, then they entered into Al-Islam. They acknowledged Allah^-azwj and left the Shirk (Polytheism) but did not recognise the Eman by their hearts. They came to be from the Momineen for Paradise to be Obligated for them.

وَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا عَلَى جُحُودِهِمْ فَيَكْفُرُوا فَتَجِبَ لَهُمُ النَّارُ فَهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ‏

And they did not happen to be upon their rejection, so they were committing Kufr and the Fire would be Obligated for them. Thus, they were upon that, Either He would Punish them or He would Turn to them (Mercifully) [9:106]’’.[53]

‘While Hamza^-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib^-asws and his^-asws companions were at a drinking place of theirs called Al-Sukrkat, they mentioned the older camel. Hamza^-asws said to them, ‘How can it be for us?’ They said so him^-asws, ‘This is a she-camel of your^-asws cousin Ali^-asws. He^-asws went out to it and slaughtered it, then took from its liver and its hump and entered (gave) it to them.

He said, ‘And Ali^-asws came and looked at his^-saww she-camel, and it (something) entered him^-saww from that. They said to him^-asws, ‘Your^-asws uncle^-asws Hamza^-asws did this’. He^-asws went to the Prophet^-saww and complained of that to him^-saww. Rasool-Allah^-saww came with him^-asws, and it was said to Hamza^-asws, ‘This is Rasool-Allah^-saww having come to the door’. He^-asws came out and he^-asws was angry. When he^-asws saw Rasool-Allah^-saww, the anger in his^-asws face subsided.

He said, ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed the Prohibition of the wine. Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed with their vessels and were withheld, and he^-saww called out among the people with the going out to Ohad. Rasool-Allah^-saww came out and Hamza^-asws came out and paused near the Prophet^-saww. When they formed rows (for battle), Hamza^-asws attacked among the people (enemy) until he disappeared among them, then returned to his^-asws position. The people said to him^-asws, ‘Allah^-azwj!

When he^-saww saw him^-asws face to face near him^-saww, Rasool-Allah^-saww went towards him^-asws and hugged him^-asws and Rasool-Allah^-saww kissed what is between his^-asws eyes. Then he^-asws attacked upon the people. Hamza^-asws was martyred and Rasool-Allah^-saww enshrouded him^-asws in a spot.

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub’ – And in Shawwal was the battle of Ohad and it is the day of Al-Mihras. Ibn Abbas, and Mujahid, and Qatada, and Al-Rabie, and Al-Sudy, and Ibn Is’haq said, ‘It was Revealed regarding it: And when you went forth early in the morning from your family [3:121]. And it is reported from Abu Ja’far^-asws.

Ibn Masoud and Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘When Abu Sufyan aimed to the Prophet^-saww among three thousand from Quraysh’, and it is said, ‘Among two thousand from them’, ‘From there were two hundred horsemen and the rest we infantry, and for them were seven hundred armoured ones, and Hind recited a poem, ‘We are the daughters of the night-comers, walking upon the pillows, and adhere during the separation and the houses, in the holes’. And Abu Sufyan had hired two thousand from the Ethiopians to fight with them against the Prophet^-saww.

قوله‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏ فخرج النبي ص مع أصحابه و كانوا ألف رجل‏ و يقال سبعمائة فانعزل عنهم ابن أبي بثلث الناس فهمت بنو حارثة و بنو سلمة بالرجوع و هو قوله‏ إِذْ هَمَّتْ طائِفَتانِ مِنْكُمْ‏ قال الجبائي هما به و لم يفعلاه

His^-azwj Words: (Surah) Al-Anfaal: Surely, those who are committing Kufr are spending their wealth in order to hinder from the Way of Allah [8:36]. The Prophet^-saww went out with his^-saww companions, and they were a thousand me, and it is said, seven hundred. Ibn Abu Basas cut off from the people and the clan of Harisa and the clan of Salma thought with the return, and it is His^-azwj Words: When two groups from you, [3:122]. Al-Jabaie said, ‘They thought of it but did not do it’.

و ساق الخبر إلى أن قال و أقبل خالد من الشعب بخيل المشركين و جاء من ظهر النبي ص و قال دونكم هذا الطليق الذي تطلبونه فشأنكم به فحملوا عليه حملة رجل واحد حتى قتل منهم خلق و انهزم الباقون في الشعب

And he continued the report up to he said, ‘And Khalid came from the mountain pass with cavalry of the Polytheists and he came from the back of the Prophet^-saww and said: ‘Keep away from this one which you are seeking him^-saww and your glory with him^-saww’. They attacked him^-saww with an attack of one man until some people were killed from them and the rest fled in the mountain pass.

و أقبل خالد بخيله‏ كما قال تعالى‏ إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَ لا تَلْوُونَ عَلى‏ أَحَدٍ و رسول الله يدعوهم في أخراهم يا أيها الناس إني رسول الله إن الله قد وعدني النصر فأين الفرار وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَرْمِي وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ قَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And Khalid came with his cavalry just as the Exalted Said: When you were ascending (the mount Ohad) and were not even glancing at any one, [3:153], and Rasool-Allah^-saww was calling them among their last ones: ‘O you people! I^-saww am Rasool-Allah^-saww! Allah^-azwj has Promised me^-saww the Help, so where is the fleeing to?’ And the Prophet^-saww shot an arrow and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Guide my^-saww people for they are not knowing’.

فرماه ابن قميئة بقذافة فأصاب كفه و عبد الله بن شهاب بقلاعة فأصاب مرفقه و ضربه عتبة بن أبي وقاص أخو سعد على وجهه فشج رأسه فنزل من فرسه و نهبه ابن قميئة و قد ضرب به على جنبه و صاح إبليس من جبل أحد ألا إن محمدا قد قتل فصاحت فاطمة عليها السلام و وضعت يدها على رأسها و خرجت تصرخ و سائر هاشمية و قرشية

Ibn Qamiya hit him^-saww with a projectile and it hit his^-saww palm, and Abdullah Bin Shihab with a rock and it hit his^-saww elbow, and Utba Bin Abu Waqas brother of Sa’ad struck his^-saww face and bruised his^-saww head. He^-saww descended from his^-saww horse and Ibn Qamiya hit him^-saww upon his^-saww side. And Iblees^-la shouted from mount Ohad, ‘Indeed! Muhammad^-saww has been killed’. (Syeda) Fatima^-asws cried and placed her^-asws hands upon her^-asws head and went out crying, and (so did) the rest of the Hashemite and Qurayshite women.

فَلَمَّا حَمَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ نَادَى الْعَبَّاسُ‏ وَ هُوَ جَهْوَرِيُّ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ يَا أَصْحَابَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَيْنَ تَفِرُّونَ إِلَى النَّارِ تَهْرُبُونَ.

When Ali^-asws carried him^-saww to (mount) Ohad, Al-Abbas called out, and he would loud of the voice, saying, ‘O companions of Surah Al-Baqara! Where are you fleeing? You are fleeing to the Fire?’’

وَ أَنْشَأَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّي الْخَالِقِ الصَّمَدِ		فَلَيْسَ يَشْرَكُهُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدٌ
هُوَ الَّذِي عَرَّفَ الْكُفَّارَ مَنْزِلَهُمْ		وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ بِمَا وُعِدُوا
وَ يَنْصُرُ اللَّهُ مَنْ وَالاهُ إِنَّ لَهُ		نَصْراً وَ يُمْثِلُ بِالْكُفَّارِ إِذْ عَنَدُوا
قَوْمِي وَقَوُا الرَّسُولَ‏ وَ احْتَسَبُوا		شُمُّ الْعَرَانِينِ مِنْهُمْ حَمْزَةُ الْأَسَدُ

And Amir Al-Momineen^-asws prosed: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj, the Creator, the Samad, so no one participates with Him^-azwj in His^-azwj Judgment. He^-azwj is the One Who Introduced to the Kafirs of their status, and the Momineen^-asws He^-azwj will Recompense them with what they had been Promised, and Allah^-azwj Helps the one who befriends him^-saww. For him^-saww is the Help, and He^-azwj Destroys the Kafirs when they are inimical. Therefore, stand and save the Rasool^-saww and anticipate. Smell from them Hamza^-asws the lion’.

وَ أَنْشَأَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

رَأَيْتُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا		وَ لَجُّوا فِي الْغَوَايَةِ وَ الضَّلَالِ
وَ قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ إِذْ نَفَرْنَا		غَدَاةَ الرَّوْعِ بِالْأَسَلِ الطِّوَالِ
فَإِنْ يَبْغُوا وَ يَفْتَخِرُوا عَلَيْنَا		بِحَمْزَةَ وَ هُوَ فِي الْغُرَفِ الْعَوَالِي
فَقَدْ أَوْدَى بِعُتْبَةَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ		وَ قَدْ أَبْلَى وَ جَاهَدَ غَيْرَ آلٍ
وَ قَدْ غَادَرْتُ كَبْشَهُمُ جِهَاراً		بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ طَلْحَةَ فِي الْمَجَالِ
فَخَرَّ لِوَجْهِه وَ رَفَعْتُ عَنْهُ		رَقِيقَ الْحَدِّ حُودِثَ بِالصِّقَالِ‏

And he^-asws prosed: ‘I^-asws saw the Polytheists rebelling against us, and falling into temptation and delusion, and they said, ‘We are more’, when we fled, going from the longest horrors. So, if they are rebelling and priding upon us with (having killed) Hamza^-asws, and he^-asws is in the lofty house, so he^-asws had claimed Utba on the day of Badr, and he^-asws was Tried and fought without hesitation. And he^-asws had scattered their militias openly. With the Praise of Allah^-azwj, Talha is in the field falling upon his face and rising from it, the thinning of the limit was new with the glaze’’.[56]

48- وَ أَقُولُ رُوِيَ فِي الدِّيوَانِ الْمَنْسُوبِ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

أَتَانِي أَنَّ هِنْداً حَلَّ صَخْرٍ		دَعَتْ دَرَكاً وَ بَشَّرَتِ الْهُنُودَا
فَإِنْ تَفْخَرْ بِحَمْزَةَ حِينَ وَلَّى‏		مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ مُحْتَسِباً شَهِيداً
فَإِنَّا قَدْ قَتَلْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ		أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَ عُتْبَةَ وَ الْوَلِيدَا
وَ قَتَّلْنَا سَرَاةَ النَّاسِ طُرّاً		وَ غَنَّمْنَا الْوَلَائِدَ وَ الْعَبِيدَا
وَ شَيْبَةَ قَدْ قَتَلْنَا يَوْمَ ذَاكُمْ‏		عَلَى أَثْوَابِهِ عَلَقاً حَسِيدَا
فَبُوِّئَ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ شَرَّ دَارٍ		عَلَيْهَا لَمْ يَجِدْ عَنْهَا مَحِيدَا
وَ مَا سِيَّانِ مَنْ هُوَ فِي جَحِيمٍ‏		يَكُونُ شَرَابُهُ فِيهَا صَدِيداً
وَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي الْجِنَانِ يَدِرُّ فِيهَا		عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ مُغْتَبِطاً حَمِيداً

And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported in the Register attributed to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws (having prosed): ‘I received word that Hind, the wife of Sakhr, called for vengeance and gave glad tidings to the women named Hind. If she boasts of Hamza^-ra when he^-ra departed, joining the martyrs, seeking Rewards of Allah^-azwj as a martyr, then indeed, on the Day of Badr, we killed Abu Jahl^-la, Utbah, and Al-Waleed.

We slew all the chiefs of the people, and took maidservants and slaves as spoils. And Shaybah too we killed on that day, leaving thick blood upon his garments. Thus, he was lodged in the worst abode of Hell, from which he found no escape. The two are certainly not equal: one who is in the blazing Fire, whose drink therein is pus, and one who is in the Gardens, where provision flows abundantly upon him, rejoicing and praiseworthy.

وَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً بَعْدَ قَتْلِ طَلْحَةَ

أَصُولُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْأَمْجَدِ		وَ فَالِقِ الْإِصْبَاحِ رَبِّ الْمَسْجِدِ
أَنَا عَلِيٌّ وَ ابْنُ عَمِّ الْمُهْتَدِي‏

And in it also, after the killing of Talhah: ‘I^-asws charge forth with Allah^-azwj the Almighty, the Most Glorious, the Cleaver of the dawn, the Lord^-azwj of the Mosque. I am Ali^-asws the son of the cousin of the rightly guided one’.

وَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً

Allah^-azwj is Living, Eternal, All Powerful, the Self Sufficient, and no one shares with Him^-azwj  in His^-azwj sovereignty. He^-azwj is the One Who Made the disbelievers know their appointed place, while as for the believers He^-azwj shall Reward as they have been Promised. If the turn of fortune went against us, it was a lesson for us; perhaps some right guidance may yet be seen amid its error.

Allah^-azwj Grants victory to whoever is loyal to Him^-azwj. Indeed, His^-azwj is the victory, and He^-azwj Brings exemplary Punishment upon the disbelievers when they stubbornly resist. If you speak boastfully, may you have no father, concerning those of our brothers whom the grave has enclosed, then indeed we left Talhah lying fallen, while between us the fire of flashing swords blazed.

And Usman, the man, was struck down by our spearheads, so that when his wife was informed, the opening of her garment was torn to pieces. Among nine men, when the others turned away from around them, they did not shrink back when they entered the pools of death. They were the foremost nobles of Fihr and its most honourable men, proud and lofty, eminent in lineage and number.

And Ahmad^-saww the best of men, swiftly struck down Ubayy beneath the clouds of battle dust while he strove against him^-saww. The birds and hyenas remained over him, some carrying away pieces of them and others settling upon them. As for those whom you killed from among us, despite the astonishing circumstances, they have indeed attained goodness and have been blessed.

For them are pleasant Gardens of Al Firdaws, wherein neither heat nor bitter cold shall afflict them. May Allah^-azwj Bless them whenever they are remembered, for many a place of truthful courage had they witnessed before this. They were a people who remained faithful to Rasool Allah^-saww and sought their reward from Allah^-azwj.

Among those noble and proud men was Hamza^-ra, the Lion. And Musab remained like a fierce lion defending him^-saww, enraged, until a wolf wrapped him in the shroud of death. They are not like the slain among the disbelievers, whom He^-azwj Admitted into the Fire of Hell, with guards stationed at its gates’.

وَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً

I^-asws saw that the Polytheists had transgressed against us’ – up to his^-asws words: ‘And he perished after striving without weakness. And indeed, at Badr I^-asws shattered their cavalry, and followed their routed forces with the fighting men’ – up to his^-asws words: ‘With polished swords. It was as though salt had been mixed with it whenever it blazed fiercely, like aged wine in the shade’.[57]

49- وَ فِي شَرْحِ الدِّيوَانِ‏ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ارْتَجَزَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ‏

أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الدَّارِ ذِي الْفُضُولِ‏		وَ إِنَّكَ عِنْدِي يَا عَلِيُّ مَقْبُولٌ‏
أَوْ هَارِبٌ خَوْفُ الرَّدَى مَفْلُولٌ

In the commentary of the Register, Usman Bin Abu Talha prosed on the day of Ohad saying, ‘I am the son of Abd Al Dar, the possessor of virtues, and indeed, O Ali, you are acceptable to me, or else you will flee, broken and defeated, out of fear of death’.

فَأَجَابَهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِمَا فِي الدِّيوَانِ‏

هَذَا مَقَامِي مُعْرَضٌ مَبْذُولٌ‏		مَنْ يَلْقَ سَيْفِي فَلَهُ الْعَوِيلُ‏
وَ لَا أَخَافُ‏ الصَّوْلَ بَلْ أَصُولُ‏		إِنِّي عَنِ الْأَعْدَاءِ لَا أَزُولُ‏
يَوْماً لَدَى الْهَيْجَاءِ وَ لَا أَحُولُ‏		وَ الْقَرْنُ عِنْدِي فِي الْوَغَى مَقْتُولٌ‏

أَوْ هَالِكٌ بِالسَّيْفِ أَوْ مَغْلُولٌ

He^-asws responded with what is in the Register: ‘Here I^-asws stand, exposing myself and offering myself to battle. Whoever encounters my sword shall have cause to wail. I^-asws do not fear the assault; rather, I^-asws myself charge forth. Indeed, I^-asws never retreat from the enemy, nor on the day of fierce battle do I^-asws turn away. My^-asws opponent in the midst of battle is destined to be slain, either destroyed by the sword or taken captive in chains’.

وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي جَوَابِ رَجَزِ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَخْنَسِ بْنِ شَرِيقٍ‏

اخْسَأْ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنُ مِنْ جَاهِدٍ		يَا ابْنَ لَعِينٍ لَاحَ بِالْأَرْذَلِ‏
الْيَوْمَ أَعْلُوكَ بِذِي رَوْنَقٍ‏		كَالْبَرْقِ فِي الْمُخْلَوْلِقِ الْمُسْبِلِ‏
يَفْرِي شُئُونَ الرَّأْسِ لَا يَنْثَنِي‏		بَعْدَ فِرَاشِ الْحَاجِبِ الْأَجْزَلِ‏
أَرْجُو بِذَلِكَ الْفَوْزَ فِي جَنَّةٍ		عَالِيَةٍ فِي أَكْرَمِ الْمَدْخَلِ‏

And he^-asws said in response to the poem of Umar Bin Akhnas Bin Shareeq: ‘Begone! May the curse be upon you, O stubborn opponent! O son of the accursed one, marked by vileness! Today I^-asws shall strike you down with a gleaming sword, like lightning flashing through a dark and pouring cloud. It cleaves through the bones of the head and does not turn aside after passing through the broad expanse above the eyebrow. By this I^-asws hope to attain triumph in a lofty Paradise, in the most honourable of dwelling places’.

وَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً مُخَاطِباً لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ

لَسْتُ أَرَى مَا بَيْنَنَا حَاكِماً		إِلَّا الَّذِي بِالْكَفِّ تَبَّارٌ
وَ صَارِماً أَبْيَضَ مِثْلَ الْمَهَا		يَبْرُقُ فِي الرَّاحَةِ ضَرَّارٌ
مَعِي حُسَامٌ قَاطِعٌ بَاتِرٌ		تَسْطَعُ مِنْ تِضْرَابِهِ النَّارُ
إِنَّا أُنَاسٌ دِينُنَا صَادِقٌ‏		إِنَّا عَلَى الْحَرْبِ لَصَبَّارٌ

And in it as well addressing Asama Bin Zayd during that battle: ‘I^-asws see no judge between us except the one held in the hand, sharp and deadly, and a gleaming white sword, like the oryx in its whiteness, flashing in the palm and dealing destruction. With me^-asws is a keen, cutting, severing sword, from whose blows fire flashes forth. We are a people whose religion is true; indeed, we are steadfast and patient in war’.

وَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً مُخَوِّفاً لَهُ‏

سَوْفَ يَرَى الْجَمْعُ ضِرَابَ الْفَاتِكِ الْحَلَابِسِ‏		وَ طَعْنَةً قَدْ شَدَّهَا لِكَبْوَةِ الْفَوَارِسِ‏
الْيَوْمَ أُضْرِمُ نَارَهَا بِجَذْوَةٍ لِقَابِسٍ‏		حَتَّى تَرَى فُرْسَانَهَا تَخِرُّ لِلْمَعَاطِسِ

And in it as well frightening him: ‘The assembled host shall soon behold the blows of the deadly, valiant warrior, and a thrust delivered with such force as to bring the horsemen tumbling down. Today I^-asws shall kindle its fire with a burning ember for whoever would take a flame from it, until you see its horsemen falling upon their faces’.

P.s. – These poems are difficult to get right, as simple text cannot convey the depth of the verses.[58]

50- أقول قال عبد الحميد بن أبي الحديد في شرح نهج البلاغة لما رجع من حضر بدرا من المشركين إلى مكة وجدوا العير التي قدم بها أبو سفيان موقوفة في دار الندوة فاتفقوا على أن يحتبسوها أو أرباحها ليجهزوا بها جيشا إلى محمد ص فبعثوا إلى العرب و استنصروهم فخرجوا و هم ثلاثة آلاف بمن ضوى إليهم بعده و سلاح كثير و قادوا مائتي فرس و كان فيهم سبعمائة دارع و ثلاثة آلاف بعير

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed says in the commentary on Nahj Al-Balagah – ‘When the ones from the Polytheists who had attended Badr returned to Makkah and they found the caravan which Abu Sufyan had preceded with standing by the assembly house, they formed a consensus that they would withhold it or sell it in order to prepare an army by it to (fight against) Muhammad^-saww. They sent messages to the Arabs and sought their help. They went out and they were three thousand with those who came to them after it, and a lot of weapons, and were guided by two hundred horsemen, and among them were seven hundred armoured ones and three thousand camels.

فلما أجمعوا المسير كتب العباس بن عبد المطلب كتابا و ختمه و استأجر رجلا من بني غفار و شرط عليه أن يسير ثلاثا إلى رسول الله ص يخبره أن قريشا قد أجمعت إليك فما كنت صانعا إذ أحلوا بك فاصنعه

When they gathered for the journey, Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib wrote a letter and sealed it, and hired a man from the clan of Ghafar and stipulated upon him that he would travel three days to Rasool-Allah^-saww to inform him^-saww that, ‘Quraysh had gathered to (fight) against you^-saww. So, whatever you^-saww can do when they are released with you^-saww, then do it’.

فَلَمَّا شَاعَ الْخَبَرُ فِي النَّاسِ ظَهَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي مَنَامِي كَأَنِّي فِي دِرْعٍ حَصِينَةٍ وَ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ سَيْفِي ذَا الْفَقَارِ انْقَصَمَ‏ مِنْ عِنْدِ ظُبَتِهِ وَ رَأَيْتُ بَقَراً تُذْبَحُ وَ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي مُرْدِفٌ كَبْشاً

When the news spread among the people, the Prophet^-saww ascended the Pulpit. He^-saww praised Allah^-azwj and extolled Him^-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! I^-saww saw in my^-saww dream as if I^-asws am in a fortified shield, and saw as if my^-saww sword Zulfiqar is broken from its edge, and saw a slaughtered cow, and saw as if I^-saww am riding a ram’.

قَالَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهَا قَالَ أَمَّا الدِّرْعُ الْحَصِينَةُ فَالْمَدِينَةُ فَامْكُثُوا فِيهَا وَ أَمَّا انْقِصَامُ سَيْفِي مِنْ عِنْدَ ظُبَتِهِ فَمُصِيبَةٌ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَمَّا الْبَقَرُ الْمَذْبَحُ فَقَتْلَى فِي أَصْحَابِي وَ أَمَّا أَنِّي مُرْدِفٌ كَبْشاً فَكَبْشُ الْكَتِيبَةِ نَقْتُلُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

The people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! What is its interpretation?’ He^-saww said: ‘As for the fortified shield, it is Al-Medina and I^-saww am staying in it, and as for the breaking of my^-saww sword from its edge, it is a difficulty regarding myself^-saww, and as for the slaughtered cow, it is the killing of my^-saww companions, and as for me^-asws riding a ram, it is the militia. We shall kill it if Allah^-azwj so Desires’’.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ ص قَالَ: أَمَّا انْقِصَامُ سَيْفِي فَقَتْلَةُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي

And it is reported from Ibn Abbas, ‘He^-saww said: ‘As for the breaking of my^-saww sword, a man from my^-saww family would be killed’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي سَيْفِي فَلًّا فَكَرِهْتُهُ هو الذي أصاب وجهه

And it is reported that he^-saww said: ‘And I^-saww saw a notch in my^-saww sword so I^-saww disliked it’. It is which hit his^-saww face’.

قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ وَ رَأَى ص أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِهَذِهِ الرُّؤُيَا فقام عبد الله بن أبي فقال يا رسول الله كنا نقاتل في الجاهلية في هذه المدينة و نجعل النساء و الذراري في هذه الصياصي و نجعل معهم الحجارة يا رسول الله إن مدينتنا عذراء ما فضت علينا قط و ما خرجنا إلى عدو منها قط إلا أصاب منا و ما دخل علينا قط إلا أصبناهم

Al-Waqidy (wahabi imam) said, ‘He^-asws said: ‘Ali^-asws consulted and viewed that he^-saww should not go out from Al-Medina due to this dream. Abdullah Bin Abay stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! We used to fight during the pre-Islamic period in this city and we made the women and the offspring to be in these rooftops, and made the stones to be with them. O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Our city is sealed; it has not been breached against us at all! And we will not go out from it to the enemies at all except they will achieve (victory) from us, and they will not enter upon us at all except we will hit them’.

فكان رأي رسول الله ص مع رأيه و كان ذلك رأي الأكابر من المهاجرين و الأنصار فقام فتيان أحداث لم يشهدوا بدرا و طلبوا من رسول الله ص الخروج إلى عدوهم و رغبوا في الشهادة

And the view of Rasool-Allah^-saww was (in accordance) with his view, and that was the view of the great ones from the Emigrants and the Helpers. The young men who had not attended Badr stood up and sought from Rasool-Allah^-saww the going out to their enemies and they were desirous regarding the martyrdom.

و قال رجال من أهل التيه و أهل السن منهم حمزة و سعد بن عبادة و النعمان بن مالك في غيرهم‏ من الأوس و الخزرج إنا نخشى يا رسول الله أن يظن عدونا أنا كرهنا الخروج إليهم جبنا عن لقائهم فيكون هذا جرأة منهم علينا

And the men from the wanderers and the people of age, from them being Hamza^-asws and Sa’ad Bin Ubada, and Al-Numan Bin Malik among others from Al-Aws and Al-Khazra (said), ‘We are apprehensive, O Rasool-Allah^-saww, that our enemies might think that we dislike the going out to them out of cowardice from meeting them, and that would become an emboldening from them against us’.

فقال حمزة و الذي أنزل عليه الكتاب لا أطعم اليوم طعاما حتى أجالدهم بسيفي خارجا من‏ المدينة و كان يقال كان حمزة يوم الجمعة صائما و يوم السبت صائما فلاقاهم و هو صائم.

Hamza^-asws said, ‘By the One^-azwj Who Sent down the Book upon him^-saww! I^-asws will not eat any food today until I^-asws meet them in combat with my^-asws sword outside from Al-Medina’. And it is said that Hamza^-asws used to Fast on the day of Friday and the day of Saturday, so he^-asws met them (in battle) while he^-asws was Fasting.

و قام خيثمة أبو سعد بن خيثمة فقال يا رسول الله إن قريشا مكثت حولا تجمع الجموع و تستجلب العرب في بواديها ثم جاءونا و قد قادوا الخيل حتى نزلوا بساحتنا فيحضروننا في بيوتنا و صياصينا ثم يرجعون وافرين لم يكلموا فيجرئهم ذلك علينا حتى يشنوا الغارات علينا و يضع الإرصاد و العيون علينا و عسى الله أن يظفرنا بهم فتلك عادة الله عندنا

And Khaysama Abu Sa’ad Bin Khaysama stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Quraysh remained around the pool of the crowd and the Arabs responded in their valleys. Then they came to us and they had guided the cavalry until they descended into our yards. They presented to us in our houses and our rooftops, then they returned, not even speaking. That emboldened them upon us until they launched the raids upon us and placed the ambushers and the spies upon us, and perhaps Allah^-azwj will Grant us victory over them.

أو يكون الأخرى‏ فهي الشهادة لقد أخطأتني وقعة بدر و قد كنت عليها حريصا لقد بلغ من حرصي أن ساهمت ابني في الخروج فخرج سهمه فرزق الشهادة و قد رأيت ابني البارحة في النوم في أحسن صورة يسرع في ثمار الجنة و أنهارها و هو يقول الحق بنا ترافقنا في الجنة فقد وجدت ما وعدني ربي حقا و قد و الله يا رسول الله أصبحت مشتاقا إلى مرافقته في الجنة و قد كبرت سني و رق عظمي و أحببت لقاء ربي فادع الله أن يرزقني الشهادة

Or the other will happen, and it is the martyrdom. The event of Badr was (an opportunity) lost to me, and I was covetous upon it. My desire had reached us that I drew lots with my son for the going out. His lot came out and he was graced the martyrdom, and I saw my son last night in the dream being in a beautiful image, moving around among the fruits of Paradise and its rivers, and he was saying, ‘The Truth is with us. Accompany us in Paradise for I have found what my Lord^-azwj had Promised me as being true, and by Allah^-azwj, O Rasool-Allah^-saww, I woke up in the morning desirous to accompany him in Paradise, and my age is old and my bones are brittle and I would love to meet my Lord^-azwj, therefore supplicate to Allah^-azwj to Grace me the martyrdom’.

فدعا له رسول الله ص بذلك فقتل بأحد شهيدا فقال كل منهم مثل ذلك فقال إني أخاف عليكم الهزيمة فلما أبوا إلا الخروج صلى رسول الله ص الجمعة بالناس ثم وعظهم و أمرهم بالجد و الاجتهاد و أخبرهم أن لهم النصر ما صبروا ثم صلى العصر و لبس السلاح و خرج

Rasool-Allah^-saww supplicated for him with that, and he was killed at Ohad as a martyr. He said, ‘Each of them are like that’. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww feat the defeat (fleeing) upon you’. But when they refused except the for the going, Rasool-Allah^-saww prayed the Friday Salat with the people, then preached to them and instructed them with the seriousness and the diligence, and informed them and the victory would be for them for as long as they are patient. Then he^-saww prayed Al-Asr and wore the weapons and went out.

و كان مقدم قريش يوم الخميس لخمس خلون من شوال و كانت الوقعة يوم السبت لسبع خلون من شوال و باتت وجوه الأوس و الخزرج ليلة الجمعة عليهم السلاح في المسجد بباب النبي ص خوفا من تبييت المشركين و حرست المدينة تلك الليلة حتى أصبحوا.

And the proceeding of Quraysh was on the day of Thursday, five (days) remained from Shawwal and the event was on the day of Saturday of seven (days) vacant from Shawwal, and the faces of Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj spent the night of Friday with weapons upon them in the Masjid by the door of the Prophet^-saww, fearing the Polytheists overnight and they guarded Al-Medina that night until the morning.

قال فَلَمَّا سَوَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الصُّفُوفَ بِأُحُدٍ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أُوصِيكُمْ بِمَا أَوْصَانِي بِهِ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ التَّنَاهِي عَنْ مَحَارِمِهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِمَنْزِلِ أَجْرٍ وَ ذُخْرٍ لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَطَّنَ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى الصَّبْرِ وَ الْيَقِينِ وَ الْجِدِّ وَ النَّشَاطِ

He said, ‘When Rasool-Allah^-azwj evened the rows at Ohad, he^-saww stood addressing the people and said: ‘O you people! I^-saww advise you with what Allah^-azwj has Advised me^-saww in His^-azwj Book, from the working in His^-azwj obedience and keeping aside from His^-azwj Prohibition, then today you are at the status of the Recompense and the ammunition’ – for the one mentioned to be upon him. Then he^-saww established himself^-saww upon the patience and the certainty and the seriousness, and the activity.

فَإِنَّ جِهَادَ الْعَدُوِّ شَدِيدٌ كَرِيهٌ قَلِيلٌ مَنْ يَصْبِرُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَزَمَ لَهُ عَلَى رُشْدِهِ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ وَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ فَاسْتَفْتِحُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ وَ الْتَمِسُوا بِذَلِكَ مَا وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالَّذِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ فَإِنِّي حَرِيصٌ‏ عَلَى رُشْدِكُمْ إِنَّ الِاخْتِلَافَ وَ التَّنَازُعَ وَ التَّثَبُّطَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْعَجْزِ وَ الضَّعْفِ وَ هُوَ مِمَّا لَا يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَ لَا يُعْطِي عَلَيْهِ النَّصْرَ وَ الظَّفَرَ

(He^-saww) said: ‘Fighting the enemy is severely stressful. Few are the ones who are patient upon it except the one who is determined for it upon His^-azwj Guidance. Surely, Allah^-azwj is with the ones who obey Him^-azwj and the Satan^-la is with the one who disobeys Him^-azwj. So, begin your deeds with the patience upon the Jihad and seek by that what Allah^-azwj has Promised you, and upon you is to be with that which He^-azwj had Commanded you with, for I^-saww am desirous upon your guidance. The differing and the contention and the obstruction is from the matters of the frustration and the weakness, and (all of) it is from what Allah^-azwj does not Like, nor would He^-azwj Grant the Help upon it and the victory.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قُذِفَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَى حَرَامٍ فَرَغِبَ عَنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ‏ وَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ عَشْراً وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ كَافِرٍ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ فِي عَاجِلِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ فِي‏ آجِلِ آخِرَتِهِ

O you people! It has been cast into my^-saww heart that the one who was upon the Prohibitions, I^-saww should turn away from him seeking what is in the Presence of Allah^-azwj, may Allah^-azwj Forgive his sins for him; and the one who send Salawat upon me, Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Angels will Send ten Salawats upon him; and the one who is good, from a Muslim or a Kafir, his Recompense would occur upon Allah^-azwj in the present of his world and in the future of his Hereafter.

وَ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْجُمُعَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا صَبِيّاً أَوِ امْرَأَةً أَوْ مَرِيضاً أَوْ عَبْداً مَمْلُوكاً وَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْهَا اسْتَغْنَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ اللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَ لَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ

And the one who believed in Allah^-azwj and the last Day, upon him is the gathering on the day of Friday, except a child, or a woman, or sick, or an owned slave. And the one who is needless from it, Allah^-azwj is Needless from him, and Allah^-azwj is Needless, Praised. I^-saww do not know of any deed drawing you closer to Allah^-azwj except I^-saww have instructed you with it, and I^-saww do not know any deed drawing you closer to the Fire, except I^-saww have forbidden you from it.

وَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَفَثَ‏ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ فِي رُوعِي أَنَّهُ لَنْ تَمُوتَ نَفْسٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ أَقْصَى رِزْقِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ إِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَ أَجْمِلُوا فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ وَ لَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمُ اسْتِبْطَاؤُهُ عَلَى أَنْ تَطْلُبُوهُ بِمَعْصِيَةِ رَبِّكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُقْدَرَ عَلَى مَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ

The Trustworthy Spirit has blown into my heart that a soul will never die until it has fulfilled the maximum of its sustenance, not being deficient in it by anything. And if you were to delay from it, then fear Allah^-azwj your Lord^-azwj and be beautiful in seeking the sustenance, and do not let its delay carry you upon seeking it in disobedience to your Lord^-azwj, for you will never be able upon what is with Him^-azwj except by obeying Him^-azwj.

قَدْ بَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْحَلَالَ وَ الْحَرَامَ غَيْرَ أَنَّ بَيْنَهُمَا شَبَهاً مِنَ الْأَمْرِ لَمْ يَعْلَمْهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا مَنْ عُصِمَ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا حَفِظَ عِرْضَهُ وَ دِينَهُ وَ مَنْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا كَانَ كَالرَّاعِي إِلَى جَنْبِ الْحِمَى أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِيهِ وَ مَا مِنْ مَلَكٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ حِمًى أَلَا وَ إِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ مَحَارِمُهُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَالرَّأْسِ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى تَدَاعَى عَلَيْهِ‏ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ‏

The Permissible(s) and the Prohibition have been clarified for you all apart from that between these two are the doubtful from the matters. Most people do not know these except the one who avoids. So, the one who leave it would protect his honour and his Religion, and the one who falls into these would be like the shepherd to the side of the trap, about to fall into it, and there is none from an Angel except and there is a trap for him, and the traps of Allah^-azwj His^-azwj Prohibition; and the Momin from the Momineen is like the head from the body, when he has a complaint the rest of his body feels it. And the greetings be upon you all’’.

قال الواقدي‏ و برز طلحة بن أبي طلحة فصاح من يبارز فقال علي عليه السلام هل لك في مبارزتي قال نعم فبرز بين الصفين و رسول الله جالس تحت الراية عليه درعان و مغفر و بيضة فالتقيا فبدره علي عليه السلام بضربة على رأسه فمضى السيف حتى فلق هامته إلى أن انتهى إلى لحيته فوقع و انصرف علي عليه السلام فقيل له هلا دففت‏ عليه قال إنه لما صرع استقبلتني عورته‏ فعطفتني عليه الرحم و قد علمت أن الله سيقتله هو كبش الكتيبة فسر رسول الله ص و كبر تكبيرا عاليا و كبر المسلمون

Al-Waqidy said, ‘And Talha Bin Abu Talha duelled the ones he duelled. Ali^-asws said: ‘Is it for you in duelling me^-asws?’ He said, ‘Yes’. And they duelled between the swords, and Rasool-Allah^-saww was seated beneath the flag, until him^-saww was a shield, and armour and helmet. They met and Ali^-asws began him by striking upon his head, and the sword went until it split his head ending up to his beard, and he fell, and Ali^-asws left. It was said to him, ‘Will you^-asws not finish him off?’ He^-asws said: ‘When he fell, his private part was facing me^-asws and I^-asws pitied upon him with the mercy, and I^-asws know that Allah^-azwj will be Killing him. He is a ram of the battalion’. Rasool-Allah^-saww cheered and exclaimed a loud Takbeer, and the Muslims exclaimed Takbeer’.

و ساق القصة إلى أن قال ثم حمل اللواء أرطأة بن عبد شرحبيل فقتله علي عليه السلام ثم حمله صواب غلام بني عبد الدار فقيل قتله علي عليه السلام و قيل سعد بن أبي وقاص و قيل قزمان

And he continued the story up to he said, ‘Then Artat Bin Abd Sharhabeel carried the flag, and Ali^-asws killed him. Then a slave from the clan of Abd Al-Dar carried it, and it is said Ali^-asws killed him, and it is said (it was) Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqas’, and it is said, ‘Qazman’’.

قال الواقدي‏ و قالوا ما ظفر الله نبيه في موطن قط ما ظفره و أصحابه يوم أحد حتى عصوا الرسول و تنازعوا في الأمر لقد قتل أصحاب اللواء و انكشف‏,المشركون و نساؤهم يدعون بالويل بعد ضرب الدفوف فلما ترك أصحاب عبد الله بن جبير مراكزهم و نظر خالد بن الوليد إلى خلاء الجبل و قلة أهله فكر بالخيل و تبعه عكرمة بالخيل و انطلقا إلى موضع الرماة فحملوه عليهم فراماهم القوم حتى أصيبوا و رامى‏ عبد الله بن جبير حتى فنيت نبله ثم طاعن بالرمح حتى انكسر ثم كسر جفن سيفه فقاتل حتى قتل

Al-Waqidy (wahabi imam) said, ‘And they said, ‘Allah^-azwj had not Granted victory to His^-azwj Prophet^-saww in any place at all like His^-azwj Granting victory to him^-saww and his^-saww companions on the day of Ohad, until they disobeyed the Rasool^-saww and contended in the matter. The bearers of the flag had been killed and exposed, and the Polytheists and their women were calling with the woe after having struck the tambourines. When the companions left Abdullah Bin Jubeyr in their positions and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed looked at the vacant mountain and the fewness of its people, he turned around with the horses, and Ikrimah followed him with the cavalry and they both went to the place of the archers and attacked upon them. They hit them until they were injured, and Abdullah Bin Jubeyr shot arrows until his arrows were depleted. Then he stabbed with the spear until it broke. Then the hilt of his sword broke, and he fought until he died.

و روى أبو عمر محمد بن عبد الواحد اللغوي و رواه أيضا محمد بن حبيب في أماليه‏ أن رسول الله ص لما فر معظم أصحابه عنه يوم أحد كثرت عليه كتائب المشركين و قصدته كتيبة من بني كنانة ثم من بني عبد مناف بن كنانة فيها بنو سفيان بن عويف و هم خالد بن ثعلب‏ و أبو الشعشاء بن سفيان و أبو الحمراء بن سفيان و غراب بن سفيان

And it is reported by Abu Umar Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahid Al Lagwy, and it is reported as well by Muhammad Bin Habeeb in his (book) ‘Amaaly’ that Rasool-Allah^-saww, when the majority of his^-saww companions had fled from him^-saww on the day of Ohad, a lot of the battalions of the Polytheists were upon him^-saww, and a battalion from the clan of Kanana aimed for him^-saww, then from the clan of Abd Manaf Bin Kanana, among whom was Abu Sufyan Bin Uweyf; and Khalid Bin Sa’lab and Abu Al-Sha’sha Bin Sufyan, and Abu Al-Harma Bin Sufyan, and Gurab Bin Sufyan thought of killing him^-saww.

فقال رسول الله ص يا علي اكفني هذه الكتيبة فحمل عليها و إنها لتقارب خمسين فارسا و هو عليه السلام راجل فما زال يضربها بالسيف حتى تتفرق عنه ثم تجتمع عليه هكذا مرارا حتى قتل بني سفيان بن عويف الأربعة و تمام العشرة منها ممن لا يعرف أسماؤهم

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! Suffice me^-saww of this battalion!’ He^-asws attacked upon it, and there were nearly fifty horsemen, and he^-asws was one man. He^-asws did not cease striking with the sword until they dispersed from him^-saww. Then they gathered to him^-asws like this repeatedly until four from the clan of Sufyan Bin Uweyf were killed, and the complete family of theirs from the ones whose names are not known.

فقال جبرئيل عليه السلام لرسول الله ص‏ إن هذه للمواساة لقد عجبت الملائكة من مواساة هذا الفتى فقال رسول الله ص و ما يمنعه و هو مني و أنا منه فقال جبرئيل و أنا منكما قال و سمع ذلك اليوم صوت من قبل السماء لا يرى شخص الصارخ به ينادي مرارا لا سيف إلا ذو الفقار و لا فتى إلا علي. فسئل رسول الله عنه فقال هذا جبرئيل

Jibraeel^-as said to Rasool-Allah^-saww: ‘This here is the consolation. The Angels are astounded from the consolation of this youth’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And what prevents him^-asws? He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-as am from you^-asws both’. And during that a voice was heard from the direction of the sky, no person was seen shouting with it calling out repeatedly: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) except Ali^-asws’’. Rasool-Allah^-saww was asked about him, he^-saww said: ‘This is Jibraeel^-as’’.

قال الواقدي‏ و قال رسول الله ص يومئذ من يأخذ هذا السيف بحقه فقال عمر أنا فأعرض عنه فقام الزبير فأعرض عنه ثم عرضه الثالثة فقال أبو دجانة أنا يا رسول الله آخذه بحقه فدفعه إليه فما رئي أحد قاتل أفضل من قتاله و كان حين أعطاه مشى بين الصفين و اختال في مشيته فقال رسول الله ص إن هذه لمشية يبغضها الله تعالى إلا في مثل هذا الموطن

Al-Waqidy said, ‘And Rasool-Allah^-saww said on that day: ‘Who will take this sword with its rightfulness?’ Umar said, ‘I will’. But, he^-saww turned away from him. Al-Zubeyr stood up, but he^-saww turned away from him. Then the third ones presented to him^-saww, and Abu Dajjan said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I shall take it with its rightfulness’. He^-saww handed it over to him. No one was seen fighting better than his fighting, and when he^-saww have it, he walked between the sword and strutted in his walk. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘This is a walk Allah^-azwj the Exalted Hates except during the like of this place (battlefield)’.

قال و كان مخيريق اليهودي من أحبار اليهود فقال يوم السبت و رسول الله ص بأحد يا معشر اليهود و الله إنكم لتعلمون أن محمدا نبي و أن نصره عليكم حق فقالوا ويحك اليوم يوم السبت فقال لا سبت ثم أخذ سلاحه و حضر مع النبي ص فأصيب فقال رسول الله ص مخيريق خير يهود. قال و كان قال حين خرج إلى أحد إن أصبت فأموالي لمحمد يضعها حيث أراه الله فهي عامة صدقات النبي ص

He said, ‘And Makhreeq the Jew from the Jewish Rabbis said on the day of Saturday (Sabbath), and Rasool-Allah^-saww was at Ohad, ‘O community of Jews! By Allah^-azwj you know well that Muhammad^-saww is a Prophet^-saww, and that helping him^-saww is a right upon you’. They said, ‘Woe be unto you, today is the day of Sabbath’. He said, ‘There is no Sabbath’. Then he grabbed his weapons and presented himself to the Prophet^-saww and was injured. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Makhreeq is the best Jew’. He said when he went out to Ohad, ‘If I am hit, then my wealth is for Muhammad^-saww. He^-saww can place it wherever Allah^-azwj Shows him^-saww’, and it was generally given out as charity by the Prophet^-saww’.

قال و كان عمرو بن الجموح رجلا أعرج فلما كان يوم أحد و كان له بنون أربعة يشهدون مع النبي ص المشاهد أمثال الأسد أراد قومه أن يحبسوه و قالوا أنت رجل أعرج و لا حرج عليك و قد ذهب بنوك مع النبي ص قال بخ يذهبون إلى الجنة و أجلس أنا عندكم فقالت هند بنت عمرو بن حرام امرأته كأني أنظر إليه موليا قد أخذ درقته و هو يقول اللهم لا تردني إلى أهلي

He said, ‘And Amro Bin Al-Jamouh was a crippled man. When it was the day of Ohad, and there were four sons for him attending the battlefield with the Prophet^-saww like the lions, his people intended to withhold him and they said, ‘You are a crippled man and there is no blame upon you, and you sons have already gone with the Prophet^-saww’. He said, ‘Congratulations, they are going to Paradise and I am sitting with you’. Hind Bint Amro Bin Haram his wife said, ‘It is as if I am looking at him turning around, having taken his protective gear and he was saying, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not return me to my family’.

فخرج و لحقه بعض قومه يكلمونه في القعود فأبى و جاء إلى رسول الله ص فقال يا رسول الله إن قومي يريدون أن يحبسوني هذا الوجه‏ و الخروج معك و الله إني لأرجو أن أطأ بعرجتي هذه في الجنة فقال له أما أنت فقد عذرك‏ الله و لا جهاد عليك فأبى

He went out and met some of his people and they spoke to him regarding the staying, but he refused and came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! My people want to withhold me from this aspect and the going out with you^-saww. By Allah^-azwj! I hope to set this foot of mine in Paradise’. He^-saww said to him: ‘As for you, Allah^-azwj has Excused you and there is no Jihad upon you’. But he refused.

فقال النبي ص لقومه و بنيه لا عليكم أن لا تمنعوه لعل الله يرزقه الشهادة فخلوا عنه فقتل يومئذ شهيدا قال فحملته هند بعد شهادته و ابنها خلاد و أخاها عبد الله على بعير فلما بلغت منقطع الحرة برك البعير فكان كلما توجهه إلى المدينة برك و إذا وجهته إلى أحد أسرع فرجعت إلى النبي ص فأخبرته بذلك

The Prophet^-saww said to his people and his son: ‘It is not upon you to prevent him. Perhaps Allah^-azwj will Grace him the martyrdom, so free his way’. He was killed on that day as a martyr. They carried by after his martyrdom, him and his two sons Khalid and his brother Abdullah, upon a camel. When he reached Al-Hira the camel knelt (refused to move on). Every time he headed towards Al-Medina and when he headed towards Ohad, it hastened. He returned to the Prophet^-saww and informed him^-saww with that.

فقال ص إن الجمل لمأمور هل قال عمرو شيئا قالت نعم إنه لما توجه إلى أحد استقبل القبلة ثم قال اللهم لا تردني إلى أهلي و ارزقني الشهادة فقال ص فلذلك الجمل لا يمضي إن منكم يا معشر الأنصار من لو أقسم على الله لأبره منهم عمرو بن الجموح‏ يا هذه‏ ما زالت الملائكة مظلة على أخيك من لدن قتل إلى الساعة فينظرون أين يدفن

He^-saww said: ‘The camel is Commanded. Did Amro say anything?’ She said, ‘Yes. When he headed to Ohad, he faced the Qiblah, then said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Return me to my family and Grace me martyrdom’. He^-saww said: ‘Because of that the camel did not continue. O community of the Helpers! If I^-saww to swear upon Allah^-azwj, I^-saww would pick out Amro bin Al-Jamouh from them. O you! The Angels have not ceased to shade upon your brother from since he was killed up to this moment, and they are waiting to see where he is buried’.

ثم مكث رسول الله ص في قبرهم ثم قال يا هند قد ترافقوا في الجنة جميعا بعلك و ابنك و أخوك فقالت هند يا رسول الله فادع لي عسى أن يجعلني معهم

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww remained in their graves, then said: ‘O Hind! They have all been escorted to Paradise, your husband and your son and your brother’. Hind said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Supplicate for me, perhaps He^-azwj will Make me to be with them’.

قال و كان جابر يقول لما استشهد أبي جعلت عمتي تبكي فقال النبي ص ما يبكيها ما زالت الملائكة تظل عليه بأجنحتها حتى دفن

He said, ‘And Jabir was saying when my father was martyred, ‘The community went on to cry’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Why are you weeping? The Angels have not ceased to shade upon him with their wings until he was buried’.

و قال عبد الله بن عمرو بن حرام‏ رأيت في النوم قبل يوم أحد بأيام مبشر بن عبد المنذر أحد الشهداء ببدر يقول لي أنت قادم علينا في أيام فقلت فأين أنت قال في الجنة نسرح منها حيث نشاء فقلت له أ لم تقتل يوم بدر قال بلى ثم أحييت فذكر ذلك لرسول الله ص قال هذه الشهادة يا با جابر

And Abdullah Bin Amro Bin Haram said, ‘I saw in a dream before the day of Ohad by a few days, Mabsha Bin Abdul Manzar, one of the martyrs of Badr saying to me, ‘You are coming to us in a few days’. I said, ‘And where are you?’ He said, ‘In Paradise. We are going about freely wherever we so desire to’. I said to him, ‘We you not killed on the day of Badr?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Then I woke up and mentioned that to Rasool-Allah^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘This is the martyrdom, O Jabir’.

قال و قال رسول الله ص يوم أحد ادفنوا عبد الله بن عمرو و عمرو بن الجموح في قبر واحد و يقال إنهما وجدا و قد مثل بهما كل مثلة قطعت آرابهما عضوا عضوا فلا يعرف أبدانهما فقال النبي ص ادفنوهما في قبر واحد و يقال إنما دفنهما في قبر واحد لما كان بينهما من الصفاء

He said, ‘And Rasool-Allah^-saww said on the day of Ohad: ‘Bury Abdullah Bin Amro and Amro Bin Al-Jamouh in one grave’, and it is said they were found and they had been trampled upon with every trampling. Their body parts were cut into pieces and pieces, and their bodies could not be recognised. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Bury them both in one grave’. And it is said, ‘Rather they were buried in one grave due to what was between them from the sincerity’.

فقال ادفنوا هذين المتحابين في الدنيا في قبر واحد فدخل السيل عليهما و كان قبرهما مما يلي السيل فحفر عنهما و عليهما نمرتان و عبد الله قد أصابه جرح في وجهه فيده على وجهه فأميطت‏ يده عن جرحه فثعب‏ الدم فردت إلى مكانها فسكن الدم

He^-saww said: ‘Bury these two who loved each other in one grave’. The flood entered upon them and their grave was from what the flood (mountain) flowed. It was dug-up and upon them were two lines, and Abdullah had been injured in his face, so his hand was upon his face and his hand was moved away from his injury, and the blood burst out. It was returned to its place, and the blood settled’.

قال و كان ضمرة بن سعيد يحدث عن آبائه عن جدته‏ و كانت قد شهدت أحدا تسقي الماء قالت سمعت رسول الله ص يقول يومئذ لمقام نسيبة بنت كعب اليوم خير من مقام فلان و فلان و كان يراها يومئذ تقاتل أشد القتال حتى جرحت ثلاثة عشر جرحا

He said, ‘And Zamra Bin Saeed narrated from his forefathers, from his grandmother, and she had attended Ohad drawing the water. She said: ‘I heard Rasool-Allah^-saww saying on that day to the place of Naseybat Bint Ka’ab: ‘Today is better than the place of so and so, and so and so’. And I saw her fighting on that day the severest of the fighting until she was injured by thirteen injuries’.

قال روى الواقدي بإسناده عن عبد الله بن زيد قال‏ شهدت أحدا مع رسول الله ص فلما تفرق الناس عنه دنوت منه و أمي تذب عنه فقال ابن أم عمارة قلت نعم قال ارم فرميت بين يديه رجلا من المشركين بحجر و هو على فرس فأصيب عين الفرس فاضطرب الفرس حتى وقع هو و صاحبه و جعلت أعلوه بالحجارة حتى نضدت عليه منها وقرا و النبي ص ينظر إلي و يتبسم

He said, ‘Al-Waqidy (Wahabi imam) reported by his chain from Abdullah Bin Zayd who said, ‘I attended Badr with Rasool-Allah^-saww. When the people dispersed from him^-saww, I went near him^-saww and my mother wobbled from him^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘Umm Amara?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He^-saww said: ‘Hit!’ I hit a man from the Polytheists in front of him^-saww with a stone, and he was upon a horse, and it hit the eye of the horse. The horse became restless until it and its rider fell and I went on pelting him with the stones until I stacked upon him from them and they were too heavy upon him, and the Prophet^-saww was looking towards me and smiling.

فنظر إلى جرح بأمي على عاتقها فقال أمك أمك اعصب جرحها بارك الله عليكم من أهل بيت لمقام أمك خير من مقام فلان و فلان و مقام ربيبك يعني زوج أمه خير من مقام فلان و فلان و مقامك خير من مقام فلان و فلان رحمكم الله أهل البيت

He^-saww looked at the injuries of my mother upon her shoulder and said: ‘Your mother! Your mother has been injured; may Allah^-azwj Bless upon you all from a family. The position of your mother is better than the position of so and so, and so and so, and the position of your stepfather’ – meaning husband of his mother, ‘Is better than the position of and so and, and so and so, and your position is better than the position of so and so, and so and so. May Allah^-azwj Bless the family’.

فقالت أمي ادع الله لنا يا رسول الله أن نرافقك في الجنة فقال اللهم اجعلهم رفقائي في الجنة قالت فما أبالي ما أصابني من الدنيا

My mother said, ‘Supplicate to Allah^-azwj for us, O Rasool-Allah^-saww that we accompany you^-saww in Paradise’. He^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make them accompany me^-saww in Paradise’. She said, ‘I don’t care what afflicts me from the world.

قال الواقدي‏ و أقبل وهب بن قابوس المزني و معه ابن أخيه الحارث بن عقبة بغنم لهما من جبل جهينة فوجدا المدينة خلوا فسألا أين الناس قالوا بأحد خرج رسول الله ص يقاتل المشركين من قريش فقالا لا نبتغي أثرا بعد عين فخرجا حتى أتيا النبي ص بأحد فوجدا القوم يقتتلون و الدولة لرسول الله ص و أصحابه فأغارا مع المسلمين في النهب

Al-Waqidy said, ‘And Wahab Bin Qabous Al-Muzny came, and with him was a son of his brother Al-Haris Bin Aqaba, with sheep of theirs from the mountain Juheyna.  They found Al-Medina to be empty. They said, ‘Where are the people?’ They said, ‘At Ohad. Rasool-Allah^-saww has gone out to fight the Polytheists from Quraysh’. They said, ‘We do not seek any trace after an eye (witness)’. They both went out until they came to the Prophet^-saww at Ohad and found the people fighting, and the upper-hand being for Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions. They attacked alongside the Muslims in the looting.

و جاءت الخيل من ورائهم خالد و عكرمة فاختلط الناس فقاتلا أشد القتال فانفرقت فرقة من المشركين فقال رسول الله ص من لهذه الفرقة فقال وهب أنا فقام فرماهم بالنبل حتى انصرفوا ثم رجع فانفرقت فرقة أخرى فقال ص من لهذه الكتيبة فقال المزني أنا يا رسول الله فقام فذبها بالسيف حتى ولت ثم رجع

And the cavalry of Khalid and Ikrimah came from their backs and mingled with the people. They fought a severe fighting, and a group from Polytheists dispersed. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Who is for this group?’ Wahab said, ‘I am’, and he stood up and shot at them with the arrow until they dispersed, then he returned. Then another group came, so he^-saww said: ‘Who is for this battalion?’ Al-Muzny said, ‘I am, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ He stood up, made them go away with the sword until they turned back, then he returned.

فطلعت كتيبة أخرى فقال ص من يقوم لهؤلاء فقال المزني أنا يا رسول الله فقال قم و أبشر بالجنة فقام مسرورا يقول و الله لا أقيل و لا أستقيل فجعل يدخل فيهم و يضرب بالسيف و رسول الله ص ينظر إليه و المسلمون حتى خرج من أقصى الكتيبة و رسول الله يقول اللهم ارحمه

Another battalion emerged, and he^-saww said: ‘O will stand to them?’ Al-Muzny said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘Stand and receive glad tidings of Paradise’. He stood up joyfully saying, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I will neither be dispelled nor resign’. He went on entering among them and striking with the sword, and Rasool-Allah^-saww and the Muslims were looking at him until he came out from the outskirts of the battalion, and Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Have Mercy on him’.

ثم يرجع فيهم فما زال كذلك و هم محدقون به حتى اشتملت عليه أسيافهم و رماحهم فقتلوه فوجد به يومئذ عشرون طعنة بالرماح كلها قد دخلت إلى مقتل‏ و مثل به أقبح المثل يومئذ ثم قام ابن أخيه فقاتل كنحو قتاله حتى قتل

Then he returned among them and did not cease to be like that, and they were staring at him until their swords and their spears enclosed upon him. On that day there were found to be twenty stabs with the spears on him, all of them had entered to kill, and he had been trampled with an ugly trampling on that day. Then his cousin stood up and fought approximate to his fighting until he was killed.

و قال سعد بن أبي وقاص أشهد لرأيت رسول الله ص واقفا على المزني و هو مقتول و هو يقول رضي الله عنك فإني عنك راض ثم رأيت رسول الله ص قام على قدميه و قد ناله من ألم الجراح ما ناله على قبره‏ حتى وضع في لحده و عليه بردة لها أعلام حمر فمد رسول الله ص البردة على رأسه فخمره و أدرجه فيها طولا فبلغت نصف ساقيه فأمرنا فجمعنا الحرمل فجعلناه على رجليه و هو في لحده ثم انصرف

And Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqas said, ‘I attended and saw Rasool-Allah^-saww pause at Al-Muzny, and he was killed and he^-saww said: ‘May Allah^-azwj be Pleased from you, and I^-saww am pleased from you’. Then I saw Rasool-Allah^-saww stand by his feet, and it had been pained by the injury what had afflicted him, stand upon his grave until he^-saww placed a cloak in his grave and it had red marks on it. Rasool-Allah^-saww extended the cloak upon his head and covered him, and included its lengthy and it reached half his legs. He instructed us to gather the shrubs, and he^-saww made it to be upon his legs, and he was in his grave, then he^-saww left’.

قال الواقدي‏ و أقبل ضرار بن الخطاب فضرب عمر بن الخطاب لما جال المسلمون تلك الجولة بالقناة و قال يا ابن الخطاب إنها نعمة مشكورة ما كنت لأقتلك

Al-Waqidy (Wahabi imam) said, ‘And Zarar Bin Al-Khatab came and struck Umar Bin Al-Khattab with a lance, when the Muslims fled with that fleeing, and said, ‘O son of Al-Khattab! It is as a favour of gratitude that I am not killing you’.

قال و قال علي عليه السلام لما كان يوم أحد و جال الناس تلك الجولة أقبل أمية بن أبي حذيفة بن المغيرة و هو دارع مقنع في الحديد ما يرى منه إلا عيناه و هو يقول يوم بيوم بدر فعرض له رجل من المسلمين فقتله أمية فصمدت له‏ فضربته بالسيف على هامته و عليه بيضة و تحت البيضة مغفر فنبا سيفي و كنت رجلا قصيرا فضربني بسيفه فاتقيت بالدرقة فلحج سيفه فضربته و كان درعه مشمرة فقطعت رجليه فوقع و جعل يعالج سيفه حتى خلصه من الدرقة و جعل يناوشني و هو بارك حتى نظرت إلى فتق إبطه‏ فضربته فمات

He said, ‘And Ali^-asws said: ‘When it was the day of Ohad and the people had fled with that fleeing, Amiya bin Abu Huzeyfa Bin Al Mugheira came and he was armoured, covered in the iron, nothing could be seen from him except his eyes, and he was saying, ‘A day for a day of Badr’. A man from the Muslims presented himself to him, and Amiya killed him. I^-asws blocked him and struck him with the sword upon his head, and there was a helmet upon him, and under the helmet was an armour, and my^-asws sword bounced, and I^-asws was shorter (than him) and he struck me^-asws with his sword, and I^-asws saved it with the shield. His sword got stuck and I^-asws struck him, and his armour raised and I^-asws cut his legs, and he fell down and he went on to handle his sword until he removed it from the shield, and went on to skirmish with me^-asws, and he was kneeling, until I^-asws saw the split (of the armour) in his armpit, and I^-asws struck him, and he died’.

قال ابن أبي الحديد قد روى كثير من المحدثين‏ أن رسول الله ص قال لعلي عليه السلام حين سقط ثم أقيم اكفني هؤلاء لجماعة قصدت نحوه فحمل عليهم فهزمهم و قتل منهم عبد الله بن حميد ثم حملت عليهم‏ طائفة أخرى فقال له اكفني هؤلاء فحمل عليهم فانهزموا من بين يديه و قتل منهم أمية بن حذيفة المخزومي

Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed said, ‘A Lot of narrators had reported that Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Ali^-asws when he^-saww fell down, then was stood: ‘Suffice me^-asws for this group’. He^-asws aimed to around them, and attacked upon them and defeated them and killed Abdullah Bin Hameed from them. Then another group attacked upon them (him^-saww) and he^-saww said to him: ‘Suffice me^-saww from them’. He^-asws attacked upon them and defeated them in front of him^-saww and killed Amiya Bin Huzeyfa Al-Makhzumy from them’.

و قال جميع من قتل يوم أحد من المشركين ثمانية و عشرون قتل علي عليه السلام منهم ما اتفق عليه و ما اختلف فيه اثني عشر و هو إلى جملة القتلى كعدة من قتل ببدر إلى جملة القتلى يومئذ و هو قريب من النصف

And he said, ‘The entirety of the ones killed on the day of Ohad from the Polytheists were twenty-eight. Ali^-asws killed from that what there is a consensus upon it and what there is differing in it, twelve, and it is to the total of the killed ones is like the number of the ones killed at Badr to the total of the ones killed on that day, and it is nearly half’.

ثم قال القول فيمن ثبت من المسلمين مع رسول الله ص يوم أحد قال الواقدي حدثني موسى بن يعقوب عن عمته عن أمها عن المقداد قال‏ لما تصاف القوم للقتال يوم أحد جلس رسول الله ص تحت راية مصعب بن عمير فلما قتل أصحاب اللواء هزم المشركون الهزيمة الأولى و أغار المسلمون على معسكرهم ينهبونه ثم كر المشركون على المسلمين فأتوهم عن خلفهم فتفرق الناس و نادى رسول الله ص في أصحاب الألوية

Then he said, ‘The word regarding the ones from the Muslims who were steadfast with Rasool-Allah^-saww on the day of Ohad, Al-Waqidy (wahabi imam) said, ‘It is narrated to me by Musa Bin Yaqoub, from his aunt, from her mother, from Al-Miqdad who said, ‘When the people formed rows for the fighting on the day of Ohad, Rasool-Allah^-saww sat down beneath the flag of Mas’ab Bin Umeyr. When the bearers of the flag were killed, the Polytheists suffered the first defeat, and the Muslims attacked upon their camp to plunder it. Then the Polytheists resumed fighting against the Muslims and came at them from their back, and the people dispersed, and Rasool-Allah^-saww called out among the bearers of the flag.

فقتل مصعب حامل لوائه و أخذ راية الخزرج سعد بن عبادة فقام رسول الله ص تحتها و أصحابه محدقون به و دفع لواء المهاجرين إلى أبي الردم أحد بني عبد الدار آخر نهار ذلك اليوم و نظرت إلى لواء الأوس مع أسيد بن حضير فناوشوا المشركين ساعة و اقتتلوا على اختلاط من الصفوف و نادى المشركون بشعارهم يا للعزى يا لهبل

Mas’ab the bearer of his^-saww flag, was killed, and the flag of Al-Khazraj was grabbed by Sa’ad Bin Ubada. Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions stood under it, surrounding it, and handed of the flag of the Emigrants to Abu Al-Radam, one of the sons of Abu Al-Dar, at the end of the day of that day, and the flag of Al-Aws was seen to be with Aseyd Bin Hazeyr. The Polytheists skirmished for a while and they fought upon the mingling from the rows, and the Polytheists called out with their slogans, ‘O Al-Uzza! O Hobal!’

فأوجعوا و الله فينا قتلا ذريعا و نالوا من رسول الله ص ما نالوا لا و الذي بعثه بالحق ما زال‏شبرا واحدا إنه لفي وجه العدو تثوب إليه طائفة من أصحابه مرة و تتفرق عنه مرة فربما رأيته قائما يرمي حتى تحاجزوا و كانت العصابة التي ثبتت مع رسول الله ص أربعة عشر رجلا سبعة من المهاجرين و سبعة من الأنصار

By Allah^-azwj, they resumed the fighting among us and attained from Rasool-Allah^-saww what they attained. By the One^-azwj Who Sent him^-saww with the Truth! He^-saww did not give a single palm’s width in the face of the enemy. A group from his^-saww leapt towards him at times and dispersed from him^-saww at times. Sometimes he^-saww was seen standing, shooting arrows until he^-saww defended, and the group which was steadfast with Rasool-Allah^-saww were fourteen men – seven from the Emigrants and seven from the Helpers.

فأما المهاجرون فعلي عليه السلام و أبو بكر و عبد الرحمن بن عوف و سعد بن أبي وقاص و طلحة بن عبيد الله و أبو عبيدة بن الجراح و الزبير بن العوام و أما الأنصار فالحباب بن المنذر و أبو دجانة و عاصم بن ثابت و الحارث بن الصمة و سهل بن حنيف و سعد بن معاذ و أسيد بن حضير

As for the Emigrants – Ali^-asws, and Abu Bakr, and Abdul Rahman Bin Awf, and Sa’ad bin Abu Waqas, and Talha Bin Ubeydullah, and Abu Ubeyda bin Al Jarrah, and Al Zubeyr Bin Al Awam. And as for the Helpers – Al Habab Bin Al Manzar, and Abu Dujana, and Aasim Bin Sabit, and Al Haris Bin Al Simt, and Sahl Bin Huneyf, and Sa’ad bin Muaz, and Aseyd bin Hazeyr.

قال ابن أبي الحديد و حضرت عند محمد بن معد العلوي على رأي الإمامية و قارئ يقرأ عنده مغازي الواقدي فقرأ حدثنا الواقدي عن ابن أبي سبرة عن خالد بن رياح عن أبي سفيان مولى ابن أبي أحمد عن محمد بن مسلمة قال سمعت أذناي و أبصرت عيناي‏ رسول الله ص يقول يوم أحد و قد انكشف الناس إلى الجبل و هو يدعوهم و هم لا يلوون عليه سمعته يقول إلي يا فلان إلي يا فلان أنا رسول الله فما عرج عليه واحد منهما و مضيا

Ibn Abu Al Hadeed said, ‘And I attended with Muhammad bin Ma’ad Al-Alawy upon the view of the Imamimites and a reciter recited in his presence the significance of Al Waqidy (wahabi imam), and recited, ‘It was narrated to us by Al Waqidy (wahabi imam), from Ibn Abu Sabra, from Khalid Bin Riyah, from Abu Sufyan a slave of Ibn Abu Ahmad, from Muhamamad Bin Muslama who said, ‘My ears heard and my eyes saw Rasool-Allah^-saww saying on the day of Ohad, and the people had fled to the mountain and he^-saww was calling them, and there were no turning around to him^-saww. I heard him^-saww saying: ‘To me^-saww, O so and so! To me^-saww O so and so! I^-saww am Rasool-Allah^-saww’. But not one of them stopped and they continued’.

بما رواه الواقدي في قصة الحديبية قال‏ قال عمر يومئذ يا رسول الله أ لم تكن حدثتنا أنك ستدخل المسجد الحرام وتأخذ مفتاح الكعبة و تعرف‏ مع المعرفين و هدينا لم يصل إلى البيت و لا نحر

With what is reported by al Waqidy (Wahabi imam) in the story of Al-Hudaybiya, said, ‘Umar said on that day, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Did you^-saww not narrate to us that you^-saww will be entering the Sacred Masjid and take the keys of the Kabah and stay at Arafaat along with the ones staying at Arafaat (for Hajj), and you^-asws are (now) guiding us that you^-asws will not arrive at the House and will not be sacrificing’.

فقال رسول الله ص أ قلت لكم في سفركم هذا قال عمر لا قال أما إنكم ستدخلونه و آخذ مفتاح الكعبة و أحلق رأسي و رءوسكم ببطن مكة و أعرف مع المعرفين

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Did I^-saww to you it would be during this journey of yours?’ Umar said, ‘No’. He^-saww said: ‘But you will be entering it, and I^-saww will take the keys of the Kabah, and shave my^-saww head, and (you will shave) your heads in the midst of Makkah, and stay at Arafaat with the ones staying at Arafaat’.

ثم أقبل على عمر و قال أ نسيتم يوم أحد إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَ لا تَلْوُونَ عَلى‏ أَحَدٍ و أنا أدعوكم في أخراكم

Then he^-saww faced towards Umar and said, ‘Have you forgotten the day of Ohad: When you were ascending (the mount Ohad) and were not even glancing at any one, [3:153], and I^-saww was calling you among your last ones?

أ نسيتم يوم الأحزاب‏ إِذْ جاؤُكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ إِذْ زاغَتِ الْأَبْصارُ وَ بَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَناجِرَ

Have you forgotten the day of Al Ahzaab: When they came to you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes stunned and the hearts reached the throats [33:10]?

أ نسيتم يوم كذا و جعل يذكرهم أمورا أ نسيتم يوم كذا فقال المسلمون صدق الله و رسوله أنت يا رسول الله أعلم بالله منا

Have you forgotten such and such day?’ And he^-saww went on to remind them of the matters: ‘Have you forgotten such and such day?’ The Muslims said, ‘Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww speak the truth. O Rasool-Allah^-saww, you^-saww are more knowing with Allah^-azwj than we are’.

فلما دخل عام القضية و حلق رأسه قال هذا الذي كنت وعدتكم به فلما كان يوم الفتح و أخذ مفتاح الكعبة قال ادعوا لي عمر بن الخطاب فجاء فقال هذا الذي كنت قلت لكم

When the Decreed year came and he^-saww shaved his^-saww head, he^-saww said: ‘This is what I^-saww had promised you all with’. When it was the day of the conquest (of Makkah), and he^-saww took the keys of the Kabah, he^-saww said: ‘Call Umar Bin Al Khattab for me^-saww!’ He came, and he^-saww said: ‘This is what I^-saww had said to you’.

قالوا فلو لم يكن فر يوم أحد لما قال له أ نسيتم يوم أحد إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَ لا تَلْوُونَ عَلى‏ أَحَدٍ

They said, ‘Had he (Umar) not fled on the day of Ohad, he^-saww would not have said to him: ‘Have you forgotten the day of Ohad: When you were ascending (the mount Ohad) and were not even glancing at any one, [3:153]’’.[59]

51- أَقُولُ وَ رَوَى الْكَازِرُونِيُّ فِي الْمُنْتَقَى عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ‏ قَالَ: أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ اللِّوَاءَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقُتِلَ مُصْعَبٌ فَأَخَذَهُ مَلَكٌ فِي صُورَةِ مُصْعَبٍ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ تَقَدَّمْ يَا مُصْعَبُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَلَكُ وَ قَالَ لَسْتُ بِمُصْعَبٍ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ مَلَكٌ أُيِّدَ بِهِ‏

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported by Al-Kazruny in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’, from Rabie bin Al-Haris who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww gave the flag to Mus’ab Bin Umeyr on the day of Ohad. Mus’ab was killed, and an Angels in the imat of Mus’ab grabbed it, and Rasool-Allah^-saww went on saying at the end of the day: ‘Go ahead, O Mas’ab!’ The Angel turned towards him^-saww and said: ‘I am not Mas’ab’. Rasool-Allah^-saww recognised that he was an Angel he^-saww had been Aided with’’.[60]

52- وَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ فِي كَامِلِ التَّوَارِيخِ‏ كَانَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ أَصْحَابَ اللِّوَاءِ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَهُ أَبُو رَافِعٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَتَلَهُمْ أَبْصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَمَاعَةً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ احْمِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَحَمَلَ فَفَرَّقَهُمْ وَ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ أَبْصَرَ جَمَاعَةً أُخْرَى فَقَالَ لَهُ فَاحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَحَمَلَ وَ فَرَّقَهُمْ وَ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ

And Ibn Al-Aseer said in (the book) ‘Kamil Al-Tawareekh’ – ‘The one who killed the bearers of the flag was Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws. Abu Rafie said it. He said, ‘When he^-asws had killed them, Rasool-Allah^-saww saw a group from the Polytheists; he^-saww said to Ali^-asws: ‘Attack upon them!’ He attacked and dispersed them, and killed some of them. Then he^-saww saw another, and said to him^-asws: ‘Attack upon them!’ He^-asws attacked and dispersed them and killed from them.

فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ الْمُوَاسَاةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا

Jibraeel^-as said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This here is the consolation’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘He^-asws is from me^-saww and I^-saww am from him^-asws’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘And I^-asws am from you^-asws both’.

قَالَ فَسَمِعُوا صَوْتاً لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌ‏ قَالَ وَ قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِأُحُدٍ قِتَالًا شَدِيداً فَرَمَى بِالنَّبْلِ حَتَّى فَنِيَ نَبْلُهُ وَ انْكَسَرَتْ سِيَةُ قَوْسِهِ وَ انْقَطَعَ وَتَرُهُ وَ لَمَّا جُرِحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ جَعَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَنْقُلُ لَهُ الْمَاءَ فِي دَرَقَتِهِ مِنَ الْمِهْرَاسِ وَ يَغْسِلُهُ فَلَمْ يَنْقَطِعِ الدَّمُ فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ وَ جَعَلَتْ تُعَانِقُهُ وَ تَبْكِي وَ أَحْرَقَتْ حَصِيراً وَ جَعَلَتْ عَلَى الْجُرْحِ مِنْ رِمَادِهِ فَانْقَطَعَ الدَّمُ

He said, ‘And a voice was heard: “There is no sword except Zulfiqar and there is no youth (Momin) like Ali^-asws’. And Rasool-Allah^-saww fought at Ohad a severe fight with the arrows until his^-saww arrows were finished and the ends of his^-saww bow broke and its cord was cut. And when Rasool-Allah^-saww was injured, Ali^-asws went on transporting the water to him^-saww in his^-asws shield from the ‘Mihras’ (a rocky hollow containing water) to wash the wound. But the blood flow did not terminate, so (Syeda) Fatima^-asws came and went on to hug him^-saww and crying, and she^-asws burnt some straw and made it to be upon the wound from its ashes, and the blood flow terminated.

وَ قَالَ وَ انْتَهَتِ الْهَزِيمَةُ بِجَمَاعَةٍ فِيهِمْ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَ غَيْرُهُ إِلَى الْأَعْوَصِ فَأَقَامُوا بِهِ ثَلَاثَةً ثُمَّ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُمْ حِينَ رَآهُمْ لَقَدْ ذَهَبْتُمْ فِيهَا عَرِيضَةً

And he said, ‘And the fleers of a group, among them being Usman Bin Affar and others, ended up to Al-Awsi and they stayed at it for three (days), then they came to the Prophet^-saww. He^-saww said to them when he^-saww saw them: ‘You had gone wherein was display’.

وَ قَالَ فِي ذِكْرِ غَزْوَةِ حَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ وَ ظَفَرَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ بِمُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ بِأَبِي غُرَّةَ الْجُمَحِيِّ وَ كَانَ أَبُو غُرَّةَ أُسِرَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَأَطْلَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص لِأَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَيْهِ فَقْراً وَ كَثْرَةَ الْعِيَالِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَيْهِ الْعُهُودَ أَنْ لَا يُقَاتِلَهُ وَ لَا يُعِينَ عَلَى قِتَالِهِ

And he said mentioned the military expedition of Hamra Al-Asad, and victory in its way with Muawiya Bin Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-Aas Abu Al-Aas, and with Abu Gurra Al-Jumhy; and Abu Jumhy was captured on the day of Badr, and the Prophet^-saww freed him, because he had complained to him^-saww of poverty and a lot of dependents. Rasool-Allah^-azwj took the pact upon him that he would neither fight against him^-saww nor support anyone fighting against him^-saww.

فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُمْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَ حَرَّضَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يُلْدَغُ مِنْ‏ جُحْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ

He went out with them on the day of Ohad and instigated against the Muslims. When they came with him to Rasool-Allah^-saww, he said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Grant safety upon me’. He^-saww said: ‘The Momin does not get stung twice from a hole’, and he^-saww ordered with him and he was killed.

وَ أَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي جَدَعَ أَنْفَ حَمْزَةَ وَ مَثَّلَ بِهِ مَعَ مَنْ مَثَّلَ بِهِ وَ كَانَ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ الطَّرِيقَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى دَارَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ أَهْلَكْتَنِي وَ أَهْلَكْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أَقْرَبُهُمْ مِنِّي رَحِماً وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ لِتُجِيرَنِي فَأَدْخَلَهُ عُثْمَانُ دَارَهُ وَ صَيَّرَهُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهَا

And as for Muawiya, and he is the one who cut off the nose of Hamza^-asws and trampled him^-asws along with the ones who trampled him^-asws, and he had lost the way. When it was morning, he came to the house of Usman Bin Affan. When he saw him, Usman said to him, ‘You have destroyed me and destroyed yourself’. He said, ‘You are closer to them than me in relationship and I have come to you to shelter me’. Usman entered him into his house and made him sit in a corner.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص لِيَأْخُذَ لَهُ مِنْهُ أَمَاناً فَسَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ بِهَا فَاطْلُبُوهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَا كَانَ لِيَعْدُوَ مَنْزِلَ عُثْمَانَ فَاطْلُبُوهُ فَدَخَلُوا مَنْزِلَ عُثْمَانَ فَأَشَارَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي صَيَّرَهُ فِيهِ فَاسْتَخْرَجُوا مِنْ تَحْتِ حِمَارَةٍ لَهُمْ فَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص

Then he went to the Prophet^-saww in order to take the safety for him from him^-saww, and he heard Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Muawiya is in Al-Medina and has woken up in the morning at it, therefore seek him’. One of them said, ‘He would not have left the house of Usman, so seek him (there)’. They searched for him and entered the house of Usman, and Umm Kulsum gestured towards the place where he had come to be in, and they brought him out from under a donkey of theirs and went with him to the Prophet^-saww.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ حِينَ رَآهُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا جِئْتُ إِلَّا لِأَطْلُبَ لَهُ الْأَمَانَ فَهَبْهُ لِي فَوَهَبَهُ لَهُ وَ أَجَّلَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ أَقْسَمَ لَئِنْ وُجِدَ بَعْدَهَا يَمْشِي فِي أَرْضِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَا حَوْلَهَا لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ فَجَهَّزَهُ وَ اشْتَرَى لَهُ بَعِيراً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ارْتَحِلْ

Usman said when he saw him, ‘By the One^-azwj Who Sent you^-saww with the Truth! I did not come except to seek safety for him, so gift it to me’. He^-saww granted it to him and respited him for three days and swore that if he is found after it walking in the land of Al-Medina and what is around it, he^-saww would kill him’.  Usman went out and equipped him and bought a camel for him, then said to him, ‘Depart’.

وَ سَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى حَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ وَ أَقَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ لِيَعْرِفَ أَخْبَارَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ يَأْتِيَ بِهَا قُرَيْشاً فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَصْبَحَ قَرِيباً لَمْ يَبْعُدْ فَاطْلُبُوهُ فَأَصَابُوهُ وَ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ الطَّرِيقَ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ وَ كَانَ اللَّذَانِ أَسْرَعَا فِي طَلَبِهِ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ فَوَجَدَاهُ بِالْحِمَاءِ فَضَرَبَهُ زَيْدٌ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ إِنَّ لِي فِيهِ حَقّاً فَرَمَاهُ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلَاهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِخَبَرِهِ

And Rasool-Allah^-saww travelled to Hamra Al-Asad, and Muawiya stayed for the third day in order to understand the news of the Prophet^-saww, and went with it to Quraysh. When it was the fourth day, Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Muawiya has come to the morning nearby, not far, so seek him’; and they found him to have lost the way, and they came across him. And the two who had been quick in seeking him were Zayd bin Haris and Ammar Bin Yasser. They found him at Al-Hima’a. Zayd struck him with the sword. Ammar said, ‘From me there is a right regarding him’, and he shot at him with an arrow and killed him. Then they left to go to Al-Medina with his news.

وَ رَوَى هَذَا الْخَبَرَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْحَدِيدِ أَيْضاً وَ أَكْثَرَ اللَّفْظَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ أُدْرِكَ عَلَى ثَمَانِيَةِ أَمْيَالٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ زَيْدٌ وَ عَمَّارٌ يَرْمِيَانِهِ بِالنَّبْلِ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَ هَذَا كَانَ جَدُّ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ لِأُمِّهِ انْتَهَى

And this Hadeeth has been reported by Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed as weak, and most of the words for it, then said, ‘And it is said that he was found at eighteen miles from Al-Medina. Zayd and Ammar did not cease shooting at him with the arrows until he died; and this one was the grandfather of Abdul Malik Bin Marwan, to his mother’s side’’.[61]

53- وَ فِي الدِّيوَانِ الْمَنْسُوبِ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ صِمَّةَ بَعَثَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي أُحُدٍ لِحَاجَةٍ فَأَبْطَأَ فَأَنْشَأَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏

لَاهُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ صِمَّةَ		كَانَ وَفِيّاً وَ بِنَا ذَا ذِمَّةٍ

And in the Register attributed to Ali^-asws – ‘Al-Haris Bin Simmat, the Prophet^-saww sent him in Ohad for a need and he was delayed, so Amir Al-Momineen^-asws prosed: ‘No worries, surely Al-Haris is a son of Simmat. He was always loyal, and with us, responsible (person). He accepted his duties as a mission, in a night of the dark nights, between the spears and the swords gathered. Rasool-Allah^-azwj seeks therein, there is no escape from a familiar scourge’’.[62]

باب 13 غزوة الرجيع و غزوة معونة

CHAPTER 13 – MILITARY EXPEDITION OF Al RAJIE AND MILITARY EXPEDITION OF MAUNA

الآيات آل عمران‏ وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً الآية

The Verses – (Surah) Aal-e-Imran: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; [3:169] – the Verse.

قال الطبرسي رحمه الله قيل نزلت في شهداء بئر معونة و كان سبب ذلك على ما رواه محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار بإسناده عن أنس و غيره قال‏ قدم أبو براء عامر بن مالك بن جعفر ملاعب الأسنة و كان سيد بني عامر بن صعصعة على رسول الله ص المدينة و أهدى له هدية فأبى رسول الله ص أن يقبلها و قال يا أبا براء لا أقبل هدية مشرك فأسلم إن أردت أن أقبل هديتك و قرأ عليه القرآن فلم يسلم و لم يبعد

Al Tabarsy said, ‘It is said it was Revealed regarding the martyrs of the well of Mauna, and the reason for that was upon what is reported by Muhammad Bin Is’haq Bin Yasser, by his chain from Anas (fabricator), and others – ‘Abu Bara’a Bin Malik Bin Ja’far, and he was the chief of the clan of Aamir Bin Sa’sa, arrived at Al-Medina and gifted a gift to him^-saww. But Rasool-Allah^-saww refused to accept it and said: ‘O Abu Bara’a! I^-saww do not accept gifts of Polytheists, so become a Muslim if you want me to accept your gift’, and recited Quran to him. But he did not become a Muslims and did not distance himself.

و قال يا محمد إن أمرك هذا الذي تدعو إليه حسن جميل فلو بعثت رجالا من أصحابك إلى أهل نجد فدعوهم إلى أمرك رجوت أن يستجيبوا لك فقال رسول الله ص إني أخشى عليهم أهل نجد فقال أبو براء أنا لهم جار فابعثهم فليدعوا الناس إلى أمرك

And he said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! This matter of yours^-saww which you^-saww are calling to is good, beautiful, if you^-saww could send men from your companions to the people of Najd to call them to your^-saww matter, I am hopeful that they would answer you^-saww’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am apprehensive upon them, people of Najd’. Abu Bara’a said, ‘I am a neighbour of theirs, so send them and let them call the people to your^-saww matter’.

فبعث رسول الله ص المنذر بن عمرو أخا بني ساعدة في سبعين رجلا من خيار المسلمين منهم الحارث بن الصمة و حرام بن ملحان و عروة بن أسماء بن الصلت السلمي و نافع بن بديل بن ورقاء الخزاعي و عامر بن فهيرة مولى أبي بكر و ذلك في صفر سنة أربع من الهجرة على رأس أربعة أشهر من أحد

Rasool-Allah^-saww sent Al-Manzar Bin Amro, brother of clan of Sa’ada among seventy men from the best of the Muslims, from them being Al-Haris Bin Al-Simt, and Haram Bin Malhan, and Urwa Bin Asma Bin Salt Al-Salmy, and Nafau Bin Badeel Bin Warqa Al-Khuzair, and Aamir Bin Faheera a slave of Abu Bakr, and that was during Safar of the year four from the Emigration, at the beginning of four months from Ohad.

فساروا حتى نزلوا بئر معونة فلما نزلوا قال بعضهم لبعض أيكم يبلغ رسالة رسول الله ص أهل هذا الماء فقال حرام بن ملحان أنا فخرج بكتاب رسول الله ص إلى عامر بن الطفيل فلما أتاهم لم ينظر عامر في كتاب رسول الله ص فقال‏ حرام يا أهل بئر معونة إني رسول رسول الله إليكم و إني أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله فآمنوا بالله و رسوله

They travelled until they descended at the well of Mauna. When they descended, they said to each other, ‘Which one of you will deliver the message of Rasool-Allah^-saww to the people of this nation?’ Haram Bin Malhan said, ‘I will’. He went out with the letter of Rasool-Allah^-saww to Aamir Bin Al-Tufayl. When he came to them, Aamir did not even look into the letter of Rasool-Allah^-saww. Haram said, ‘O people of the well of Mauna! I am a messenger of Rasool-Allah^-saww to you and I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and I testify that Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, so believe in Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww’.

فخرج إليه رجل من كسر البيت برمح فضرب به في جنبه حتى خرج من الشق الآخر فقال الله أكبر فزت و رب الكعبة ثم استصرخ عامر بن الطفيل بني عامر على المسلمين فأبوا أن يجيبوه إلى ما دعاهم إليه و قالوا لن نخفر أبا براء و قد عقد لهم عقدا و جوارا فاستصرخ عليهم قبائل من بني سليم عصية و رعلا و ذكوان فأجابوه إلى ذلك

A man came out to him from the side of the house with a spear and struck him in his side until it came out from the other side. He said, ‘Allah^-azwj is the Greatest! I have succeeded, by the Lord^-azwj of the Kabah!’ Then Aamir Bin Al-Tufayl cried out for help to the clan of Aamir against the Muslims, but they refused to answer him, to whom he was calling them to, and they said, ‘We will never guard Abu Bara’a’, and he had made a pact to them, and they were neighbours. He cried out for help against them to the tribes of the clan of Suleym Asiya and Ra’ala and Zakwan, and they answered him.

فخرجوا حتى غشوا القوم فأحاطوا بهم في رحالهم فلما رأوهم أخذوا السيوف فقاتلوهم حتى قتلوا عن آخرهم إلا كعب بن زيد فإنهم تركوه و به رمق فارتث من بين القتلى فعاش حتى قتل يوم الخندق و كان في سرح القوم عمرو بن أمية الضمري و رجل من الأنصار أحد بني عمرو بن عوف

They came out until they overcame the people and surrounded them in their rides. When they saw them grabbing the swords, they fought them until they killed from their last one except for Ka’ab Bin Zayd. They left him and there was still some breath in him. He rolled around between the killed ones, and he lived until he was killed on the day of Al-Khandaq. And among the dispatched were one of the people was Amro Bin Amiya Al-Zumry and a man from the Helpers, one of the clan of Amro bin Awf.

فلم ينبئهما بمصاب أصحابهما إلا الطير تحوم حول العسكر فقالوا و الله إن لهذا الطير لشأنا فأقبلا لينظرا إليه فإذا القوم في دمائهم و إذا الخيل التي أصابتهم واقفة فقال الأنصاري لعمرو بن أمية ما ذا ترى فقال أرى أن نلحق برسول الله ص فنخبره الخبر فقال الأنصاري لكني ما كنت لأرغب بنفسي عن موطن قتل فيه المنذر بن عمرو ثم قاتل القوم حتى قتل و أخذوا عمرو بن أمية أسيرا

They did not know of the news of their companions except the bird had been circling about the soldiers. They said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! For this bird there is an occupation’. They came to it and there the people were in their blood, and the cavalry which had afflicted them was standing. The Helper said to Amro Bin Amiya, ‘What is that which you view?’ He said, ‘I view that we should go to Rasool-Allah^-saww and inform him^-saww the news’. The Helper said, ‘But I have no desire to go to the place where Al-Manza Bin Amro has been killed’. Then they fought until he was killed, and they captured Amro Bin Amiya as a captive.

فلما أخبرهم أنه من مضر أطلقه عامر بن الطفيل و جز ناصيته و أعتقه عن رقبة زعم أنها كانت على أبيه‏ فقدم عمرو بن أمية على رسول الله ص و أخبره الخبر فقال رسول الله ص‏هذا عمل أبي براء قد كنت لهذا كارها متخوفا فبلغ ذلك أبا براء فشق عليه إخفار عامر إياه و ما أصاب رسول الله ص بسببه‏

When they were informed that he was from (the tribe of) Muzar, Aamir Bin Al-Tufyal freed him and sheared his forelocks and freed him on behalf of a neck he claimed was upon his father. Amro bin Amiya proceeded to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him of the news. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘This is a deed of Abu Bara’a. I^-saww disliking it, apprehensive due to this’. That reached Abu Bara’a, and it was grievous upon him the betrayal of Amir to him, and what had afflicted Rasool-Allah^-azwj by his cause.

فقال حسان بن ثابت يحرض أبا براء على عامر بن الطفيل‏

بني أم البنين أ لم يرعكم		و أنتم من ذوائب أهل نجد
تهكم عامر بأبي براء		ليخفره و ما خطأ كعمد
ألا أبلغ ربيعة ذا المساعي		فما أحدثت في الحدثان بعدي
أبوك أبو الحروب أبو براء		و خالك ماجد حكم بن سعد

Hassan Bin Sabit said (a poem) about the incitement of Abu Bara’a upon Aamir bin Tufayl: – ‘O sons of Umm Al Baneen^-as! Did it not alarm you, while you are from the noble chiefs of the people of Najd, that Amir mocked Abu Bara, seeking to violate his protection? And an error is not like a deliberate deed. Indeed, convey to Rabiah, the man of noble endeavours, what events I have brought about since my departure. Your father is Abu Bara, the father of wars, and your maternal uncle is the noble Hakam Bin Sad’.

قال كعب بن مالك‏

لقد طارت شعاعا كل وجه		خفارة ما أجار أبو براء
بني أم البنين أ ما سمعتم		دعاء المستغيث مع النساء
و تنويه الصريخ بلى و لكن		عرفتم أنه صدق اللقاء

And Ka’ab Bin Malik said (a poem), ‘Indeed, the protection granted by Abu Bara has been scattered and torn apart in every direction. O sons of Umm Al Baneen, did you not hear the cries for help, together with the women, and the heralding cries of the one calling for aid? Yes, you did; but you knew that the encounter was in earnest.

فلما بلغ ربيعة بن أبي براء قول حسان و قول كعب حمل على عامر بن الطفيل فطعنه فخر عن فرسه فقال هذا عمل أبي براء إن مت فدمي لعمي فلا يبتعن سواي و إن أعش فساري فيه الرأي

When it reached Rabie Bin Abu Bara’a the words of Hasan and the words of Ka’ab, he attacked upon Aamir Bin Al-Tufyal and stabbed him, and he fell from his horse. He said, ‘This is a deed of Abu Bara’a if I die, then my blood (wergild) is for my uncle, and he will not swallow besides me, and if I live then I shall opine my view’.

قال فأنزل الله في شهداء بئر معونة قرآنا بلغوا عنا قومنا بأنا لقينا ربنا فرضي عنا و رضينا عنه ثم نسخت و رفعت بعد ما قرأناها و أنزل الله‏ وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏ الآية

He said, ‘Allah^-azwj Revealed regarding the martyrs of the well of Mauna, Quran (Verse). Deliver from us to our people that we met our Lord^-azwj and he is Pleased from us and we are pleased from Him^-azwj’. Then it was Abrogated and Raised afterwards by its Quran (Verse), and Allah^-azwj Revealed: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way [3:169] – the Verse’’.

1- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب‏ كَانَتْ بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ حَمْرَاءِ الْأَسَدِ غَزْوَةُ الرَّجِيعِ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَرْثَدَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ حَلِيفَ حَمْزَةَ وَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْبُكَيْرِ وَ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْأَفْلَجِ وَ خُبَيْبَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ وَ زَيْدَ بْنَ دَثِنَةَ وَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ طَارِقٍ وَ أَمِيرُ الْقَوْمِ مَرْثَدٌ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ رَهْطٌ مِنْ عَضَلٍ وَ الدِّيشِ وَ قَالُوا ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا نَفَراً مِنْ قَوْمِكَ يُعَلِّمُونَنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَ يُفَقِّهُونَنَا فِي الدِّينِ ‏

‘Al Manaqib’ of ibn Shehr Ashub – ‘There took place, after the military expedition of Hamra Al-Asad, the military expedition of Al-Rajie. Rasool-Allah^-saww sent Marsad bin Abu Marsad Al-Ghanawy, an ally of Hamza and Khalid Bin Al Bukeyr, and Aasim Bin Sabit Bin Al-Aflaj, and Khubeyb Bin Aday, and Zayd bin Dasina, and Abdullah Bin Tariq, and the emir of the people Marsad, when a group came to him^-saww from Gazal and al Deesh and they said, ‘Send a number of your^-saww people with us to teach us the Quran and make us understand regarding the Religion’.

فَخَرَجُوا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَى بَطْنِ الرَّجِيعِ وَ هُوَ مَاءٌ لِهُذَيْلٍ فَقَتَلَهُمْ حَيٌ‏ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ بَنُو لِحْيَانَ وَ أُصِيبُوا جَمِيعاً وَ ذَكَرَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ‏ أَنَّ هُذَيْلًا حِينَ قَتَلَتْ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَرَادُوا رَأْسَهُ لِيَبِيعُوهُ مِنْ سُلَافَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ نَذَرَتْ حِينَ أُصِيبَ ابْنَاهَا بِأُحُدٍ لَئِنْ قَدَرَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ لَتَشْرَبَنَّ فِي قِحْفِهِ‏ الْخَمْرَ فَمَنَعَتْهُمُ الدَّبَرُ

They went out with the group to the midst of Al-Rajie, and it is a water hole of Huzayl, and there killed them a tribe from Huzayl called the clan of Al-Hiyan, and they were all killed; and it is mentioned by Ibn Is’haq that Huzayl, when they killed Aasim Bin Sabit, wanted his head in order to sell it to Sulafat Bint Sa’ad, and she had vowed when he had killer her son at Ohad, ‘If I am able upon his head, I will drink the wine in his skull’. But a swarm of bees had prevented them.

فَلَمَّا حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَهُ قَالُوا دَعُوهُ حَتَّى نُمْسِيَ فَتَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْوَادِيَ فَاحْتَمَلَ عَاصِماً فَذَهَبَ بِهِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ عَاصِمٌ أَعْطَى اللَّهَ عَهْداً أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّ مُشْرِكاً وَ لَا يَمَسَّهُ مُشْرِكٌ أَبَداً فِي حَيَاتِهِ فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ مِمَّا امْتَنَعَ مِنْهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ‏

When she stood between them and him, they said, ‘Leave him until we touch’. She went away from him. Allah^-azwj Sent the valley (flood) and it carried Aasim and went away with him; and Aasim had given Allah^-azwj a covenant that he will neither touch a Polytheist nor let a Polytheist touch him, ever, during his lifetime. Allah^-azwj Prevented him after his death from what he had prevented from him during his lifetime’’.[63]

2- أَقُولُ قَالَ الْكَازِرُونِيُّ رَوَى ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَشْيَاخِهِ‏ أَنَّ قَوْماً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالُوا إِنَّ فِينَا إِسْلَاماً فَابْعَثْ مَعَنَا نَفَراً مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ يُفَقِّهُونَنَا وَ يُقْرِءُونَنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَ يُعَلِّمُونَنَا شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Kazruny said, ‘It is reported by Ibn Is’haq, from his elders that a group from the Polytheists arrived to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘There is Islam among us, so send with us a number of your^-saww companions to make us understand and recite the Quran to us and teach us the Laws of Al-Islam’.

فَبَعَثَ مَعَهُمْ عَشَرَةً مِنْهُمْ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَ مَرْثَدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَارِقٍ وَ خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ وَ زَيْدُ بْنُ الدَّثِنَةِ وَ خَالِدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْبُكَيْرِ وَ مُعَقِّبُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَ أَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَرْثَداً وَ قِيلَ عَاصِماً فَخَرَجُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالرَّجِيعِ وَ هُوَ مَاءٌ لِهُذَيْلٍ غَدَرُوا بِالْقَوْمِ وَ اسْتَصْرَخُوا عَلَيْهِمْ هُذَيْلًا

He^-saww send ten with them; among them were Aasim Bin Sabit, and Marsad bin Abu Marsad, and Abdullah Bin Tariq, and Khubeyd Bin Aday, and Zayd Bin Al-Dasina, and Khalid Bin Abu Al-Bukeyr, and Muaqqib Bin Ubeyd, and made Marsad the commander over them, and it is said Aasim. They went out until they were at Al-Rajie, and it is a spring of Al-Hazeyl, they betrayed the people and cried out for help to Hazeyl against them.

فَخَرَجَ بَنُو لِحْيَانَ فَلَمْ يَرْعَ الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا رِجَالٌ بِأَيْدِيهِمُ السُّيُوفُ فَأَخَذَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص سُيُوفَهُمْ فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ إِنَّا وَ اللَّهِ مَا نُرِيدُ قِتَالَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُصِيبَ بِكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ لَكُمُ الْعَهْدُ وَ الْمِيثَاقُ أَنْ لَا نَقْتُلَكُمْ فَأَمَّا عَاصِمٌ وَ مَرْثَدٌ وَ خَالِدٌ وَ مُعَقِّبٌ فَقَالُوا وَ اللَّهِ لَا نَقْبَلُ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ عَهْداً فَقَاتَلُوهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلُوا وَ أَمَّا زَيْدٌ وَ خُبَيْبٌ وَ ابْنُ طَارِقٍ فَاسْتَأْسَرُوا

The clan of Lahyan came out, but the group was not awed except by men having the swords in their hands. So, the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww grabbed their swords and said to them, ‘By Allah^-azwj! We do not want to fight you. But rather, we want to share with you from the people of Makkah, and for you is the pact and the covenant that we will not fight you’. As for Aasim and Marsad and Khalid and Muaqqib, they said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! We will not accept any agreement from a Polytheist’, and they fought them until they were killed; and as for Zayd and Khubeyb and Ibn Tariq, they were captured.

وَ أَمَّا عَاصِمُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَإِنَّهُ نَثَرَ كِنَانَتَهُ وَ فِيهَا سَبْعَةُ أَسْهُمٍ فَقَتَلَ بِكُلِ‏سَهْمٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي حَمَيْتُ دِينَكَ صَدْرَ النَّهَارِ فَارْحَمْ لَحْمِي آخِرَ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ أَحَاطَ بِهِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَ أَرَادُوا رَأْسَ عَاصِمٍ لِيَبِيعُوهُ مِنْ سُلَافَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ وَ كَانَتْ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَشْرَبَ فِي قِحْفِهِ الْخَمْرَ لِأَنَّهُ قَتَلَ ابْنَيْهَا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ

And as for Aasim Bin Sabit, he raised his quiver and there were seven arrows in it, and he killed with each arrow from the great ones of the Polytheists, then said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I protected Your^-azwj Religion in the middle of the day so have Mercy on my flesh at the end of the day’. Then the Polytheists surrounded him and killed him, and they wanted the head of Aasim in order to sell it to Sulafat Bint Sa’ad, and she had vowed that she would drink the wine in his skull, because he had killed her son on the day of Ohad.

فَحَمَتْهُ الدَّبَرُ فَقَالُوا أَمْهِلُوهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ فَتَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْوَادِيَ فَاحْتَمَلَهُ فَسُمِّيَ حِمَى الدَّبَرِ وَ خَرَجُوا بِالنَّفَرِ الثَّلَاثَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِمُرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ انْتَزَعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَارِقٍ يَدَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَ اسْتَأْخَرَ عَنْهُ الْقَوْمُ فَرَمَوْهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ فَقُبِرَ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ

But a swarm of bees prevented it, so they said, ‘Respite him until we can touch him’. She moved away from him, and Allah^-azwj Sent the valley (flood) and it carried him away. So, it was named the protective bees. And they came out in the number, the three of them until when they were in the alleyways of Al-Zahran, Abdullah Bin Tariq snatched away his hand from them and grabbed his sword, and the group stayed away from him and pelted him with the stones until they killed him. He was buried in the alleyways of Al-Zahran.

وَ قَدَّمُوا بِخُبَيْبٍ وَ زَيْدٍ مَكَّةَ فَابْتَاعَ حُجَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي إِهَابٍ خُبَيْباً لِابْنِ أُخْتِهِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِأَبِيهِ وَ ابْتَاعَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ زَيْداً لِيَقْتُلَهُ بِأَبِيهِ فَحَبَسُوهُمَا حَتَّى خَرَجَتِ الْأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجُوهُمَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَقَتَلُوهُمَا

And they arrived with Khubeyb and Zayd at Makkah and Hujeyr Bin Abu Ihad bought Khubeyb for a son of his sister Uqba Bin Al-Haris in order to kill him for his father, and Safwan Bin Umayya bought Zayd in order to kill him for his father. They were both withheld until the sacred months came, then they brought them out to Al-Taneem and killed them.

وَ قَالَ قَائِلٌ لِزَيْدٍ عِنْدَ قَتْلِهِ أَ تُحِبُّ أَنَّكَ الْآنَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً مَكَانَكَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً يُشَاكُ بِشَوْكَةٍ وَ إِنِّي جَالِسٌ فِي أَهْلِي فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ قَطُّ أَشَدَ حُبّاً لِصَاحِبِهِمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ

And a speaker said to Zayd during his killing, ‘Would you like it if you were now among your family and Muhammad^-saww be in your place?’ He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I would not like Muhammad^-saww to be prodded with a fork while I am seated among my family’. Abu Sufyan said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I have not seen from any people more intense love for their companion as there is for the companions of Muhammad^-saww.

وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَشَرَةَ عَيْناً وَ أَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالْهَدَةِ بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَ مَكَّةَ ذُكِرُوا لِحَيٍّ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ بَنُو لِحْيَانَ فَنَفَرُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ رَامٍ فَاقْتَصُّوا آثَارَهُمْ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِهِمْ عَاصِمٌ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ لَجَئُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فَأَحَاطَ بِهِمُ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا لَهُمُ انْزِلُوا فَأَعْطُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَ لَكُمُ الْعَهْدُ وَ الْمِيثَاقُ أَنْ لَا نَقْتُلَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَداً

And by his chain from Abu Hureyra (a well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww sent ten spies and made Aasim Bin Sabit a commander upon them until when they were in the border between Usfan and Makkah, they remembered a tribe from Huzeyl called the clan of Lahyan. They went to them with almost one hundred men as archers, and erased their traces. When Aasim and his companions sensed them, they came to a place and the people surrounded them. They said to them, ‘Descend and disarm and for you is the pact and the covenant that we will not kill anyone from you’.

فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ أَيُّهَا الْقَوْمُ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أَنْزِلُ فِي ذِمَّةِ كَافِرٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَخْبِرْ عَنَّا نَبِيَّكَ فَرَمَوْهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ فَقَتَلُوا عَاصِماً فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ عَلَى الْعَهْدِ مِنْهُمْ خُبَيْبٌ وَ زَيْدُ بْنُ الدَّثِنَةِ وَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَلَمَّا اسْتَمْكَنُوا مِنْهُمْ أَطْلَقُوا أَوْتَارَ قِسِيِّهِمْ فَرَبَطُوهُمْ بِهَا

Aasim said, ‘O you people! As for I, so I will not descend in the guarantee of a Kafir. O Allah^-azwj! Inform Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww from us’. He shot at them with the arrows and they killed Aasim. Three of them descended upon the pact, from them being Khubeyb and Zayd Bin Al-Dasina and another man. When they were able from them, they freed the ropes of their horses and bound them with it.

قَالَ الرَّجُلُ الثَّالِثُ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ أَوَّلُ الْغَدْرِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَصْحَبُكُمْ إِنَّ لِي بِهَؤُلَاءِ أُسْوَةً يُرِيدُ الْقَتْلَى فَجَرُّوهُ وَ عَالَجُوهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَصْحَبَهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَ انْطَلَقُوا بِخُبَيْبٍ وَ زَيْدٍ حَتَّى بَاعُوهُمَا بِمَكَّةَ بَعْدَ وَقْعَةِ بَدْرٍ فَلَبِثَ خُبَيْبٌ عِنْدَهُمْ أَسِيراً حَتَّى أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَاسْتَعَارَ مِنْ بَعْضِ بَنَاتِ‏ الْحَارِثِ مُوسَى‏ يَسْتَحِدُّ بِهَا فَأَعَارَتْهُ فَدَرَجَ بُنَيٌ‏ لَهَا وَ هِيَ غَافِلَةٌ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ فَوَجَدَتْهُ جَالِساً عَلَى فَخِذِهِ وَ الْمُوسَى بِيَدِهِ

The third man said, ‘By Allah^-azwj this is the first betrayal. By Allah^-azwj I will not accompany you as there is an example for me with them intending the killing’. They dragged him and treated him but he refused to accompany them. They killed him and went with Khubeyb and Zayd until they sold them at Makkah after the event of Badr. Khubeyb remained a captive with them until they united upon killing him. He borrowed Musa from one of the daughters of Al-Haris to be united with her, and she lent him, and a son of hers gradually came and she was unaware until he came and found him seated upon his thigh, and Al-Musa was in his hand.

قَالَ فَفَزِعَتْ فَزْعَةً عَرَفَهَا خُبَيْبٌ فَقَالَ أَ تَخْشَيْنَ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْغَدْرَ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَأْنِنَا قَالَتْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَسِيراً قَطُّ خَيْراً مِنْ خُبَيْبٍ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتُهُ يَوْماً يَأْكُلُ قِطْفاً مِنْ عِنَبٍ فِي يَدِهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَمُوثَقٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ وَ مَا بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ ثَمَرَةٍ وَ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَرِزْقٌ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ خُبَيْباً

He said, ‘He was alarmed and Khubeyb recognised his alarm. He said, ‘Are you scared that I will kill him? I would not do that. The betrayal isn’t from our trait’. She said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I have not seen any captive at all better than Khubeyb. By Allah^-azwj! One day I found him eating a bunch of grapes in his hand, and he was bound by the iron, and there are no fruits in Makkah’, and you are saying it is a sustenance of Allah^-azwj for Khubeyb’.

فَلَمَّا أَخْرَجُوهُ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فِي الْحِلِّ قَالَ لَهُمْ خُبَيْبٌ دَعُونِي أصلي [أُصَلِ‏] رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَتَرَكُوهُ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَحْسَبُوا أَنَّ مَا بِي جَزَعٌ لَزِدْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْصِهِمْ عَدَداً وَ اقْتُلْهُمْ بَدَداً وَ لَا تُبْقِ‏ مِنْهُمْ أَحَداً وَ قَالَ‏

When they brought him out from the sanctuary in order to kill him in the non-sacred area, Khubeyb said to them, ‘Leave me to pray two units’. They left him, and he prayed the two Units and said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! If you had not reckoned that there is panic with me, I would have increased (prayed more). O Allah^-azwj! Count them and kill them all, and do not Let anyone of them remain’.

فَلَسْتُ أُبَالِي حِينَ أُقْتَلُ مُسْلِماً		عَلَى أَيِّ جَنْبٍ كَانَ فِي اللَّهِ مَصْرَعِي
وَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَاتِ الْإِلَهِ وَ إِنْ يَشَأْ		يُبَارِكْ عَلَى أَوْصَالِ شِلْوٍ مُمَزَّعٍ

And he said (a poem), ‘I do not care, when I am killed as a Muslim, on which side I fall, so long as my death is for the sake of Allah^-azwj, for that is for the sake of Allah^-azwj, and if He^-azwj Wills, He^-azwj will Bless the severed limbs of a body torn apart!’

فَصَلَبُوهُ حَيّاً فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي أَحَدٌ حَوَالَيَّ يُبْلِغُ سَلَامِي رَسُولَكَ فَأَبْلِغْهُ سَلَامِي‏ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو عُقْبَةَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ‏ فَقَتَلَهُ فَكَانَ خُبَيْبٌ هُوَ سَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ قُتِلَ‏ صَبْراً

They crucified him alive. He said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Know there is no one around me to deliver my greetings to Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, so I can send him^-saww my greetings’. Then Abu Uqba Bin Al-Haris stood up to him and killed him. Khubeyb, he made is a sannah of the Salat for every Muslim killed patiently.

قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ يُلْقِينِي إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَرَقاً مِنْ دَعْوَةِ خُبَيْبٍ وَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا دُعِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَاضْطَجَعَ زَلَّتْ عَنْهُ الدَّعْوَةُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ص هَذَا الْخَبَرُ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَيُّكُمْ يَخْتَزِلُ خُبَيْباً عَنْ خَشَبَتِهِ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ صَاحِبِي الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ

Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan said, and he had seen Abu Sufyan throwing me to the ground different from the call of Khubeyb, and they were saying that the man, when he is called upon will lie down, the call will slip away from him. When this news reached the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww said to his^-saww companions: ‘Which of you will take down Khubeyb from his wood’. Al-Zubeyr said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allah^-azwj, and my companion Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad’.

فَخَرَجَا يَمْشِيَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ يَكْمُنَانِ بِالنَّهَارِ حَتَّى أَتَيَا التَّنْعِيمَ لَيْلًا وَ إِذَا حَوْلَ الْخَشَبَةِ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ نِيَامٌ نَشَاوَى‏ فَأَنْزَلَاهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَطْبٌ يَتَثَنَّى لَمْ يُنْتِنْ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَ يَدُهُ عَلَى جِرَاحَتِهِ وَ هِيَ تَبِضُّ دَماً اللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ وَ الرِّيحُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ فَحَمَلَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ وَ سَارُوا

They both went out walking at night and lying in wait at night until they came to Al-Taneem at night, and there were forty from the Polytheists sleeping around the wood, intoxicated. They brought him down and he was wet nothing stinking from him after forty days, and his hand was upon his injury and it was dripping blood, the colour being the colour of blood, and the aroma being the aroma of musk. Al-Zubeyr carried him upon his horse and they travelled.

فَانْتَبَهَ الْكُفَّارُ وَ قَدْ فَقَدُوا خُبَيْباً فَأَخْبَرُوا قُرَيْشاً فَرَكِبَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ فَلَمَّا لَحِقُوهُمْ قَذَفَ الزُّبَيْرُ خُبَيْباً فَابْتَلَعَتْهُ الْأَرْضُ فَسُمِّيَ بَلِيعَ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ مَا جَرَّأَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ الْعِمَامَةَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَوَّامٍ‏ وَ أُمِّي صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ صَاحِبِي الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ أَسَدَانِ رَابِضَانِ يَدْفَعَانِ عَنْ أَشْبَالِهِمَا فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ نَاضَلْتُكُمْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ نَازَلْتُكُمْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمُ انْصَرَفْتُمْ فَانْصَرَفُوا إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ قَدِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

The Kafirs woke up and they missed Khubeyb. Quraysh informed them and seventy of them rode. When they came across them, Al-Zubeyr threw Khubeyb (his body) and the ground swallowed him, and it was named as the ‘swallowing ground’. Al-Zubeyr said, ‘Why are you being audacious upon us, O community of Quraysh?’ Then he raised the turban from his head and said, ‘I am Al-Zubeyr Bin Al-Awwam, and My mother is Safiya Bint Abdul Muttalib^-asws, and my companion is Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad, two lions defending their cubs. If you like we will fight you and if you like we will clash with you, and if you like you can leave’. They left to go to Makkah, and they went to Rasool-Allah^-saww.[64]

3- وَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ فِي الْكَامِلِ‏ لَمَّا قُتِلَ عَاصِمٌ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَمْرَو بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيَّ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مَعَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ أَمَرَهُمَا بِقَتْلِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ صَاحِبِي وَ مَعِي بَعِيرٌ لِي وَ بِرِجْلِ صَاحِبِي عِلَّةٌ فَكُنْتُ أَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى بَعِيرِي حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْنَا بِبَطْنِ أَحَجَ‏ فَعَقَلْنَا بَعِيرَنَا فِي الشِّعْبِ وَ قُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ لِنَقْتُلَهُ فَإِنْ خَشِيتَ شَيْئاً فَالْحَقْ بِالْبَعِيرِ فَارْكَبْهُ وَ الْحَقْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَخْبِرْهُ الْخَبَرَ وَ خَلِّ عَنِّي

And Ibn Al-Aseer said in (the book) ‘Al-Kaamil’ – ‘When Aasim and his companions had been killed, Rasool-Allah^-saww sent Amro Bin Umayya Al-Zamry to Makkah with a man from the Helpers, and instructed them with killing Abu Sufyan. Amro said, ‘I and my companion went out and there was a camel with me and there was pain in the leg of my companion. I was carrying him upon my camel until when we came in the midst of Ahaj and we tied out camel in the mountain pass and I said to my companion, ‘Let us go to Abu Sufyan to kill him. If you fear anything, then come to the camel and ride it and be with Rasool-Allah^-saww and inform him^-saww the news, and leave me’.

فَدَخَلْنَا مَكَّةَ وَ مَعِي خَنْجَرٌ إِنْ عَانَقَنِي إِنْسَانٌ ضَرَبْتُهُ‏ بِهِ فَقَالَ صَاحِبِي هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَبْدَأَ فَتَطُوفَ وَ تُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يَجْلِسُونَ بِأَفْنِيَتِهِمْ وَ أَنَا أَعْرَفُ بِهَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْبَيْتَ فَطُفْنَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَمَرَرْنَا بِمَجْلِسٍ لَهُمْ فَعَرَفَنِي بَعْضُهُمْ فَصَرَخَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ هَذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ

We entered Makkah and there was a dagger with me, if any person comes close I can strike him with it. My companion said, ‘Is it for you if I were to begin by performing Tawaaf and pray two Units Salat?’ I said, ‘The people of Makkah are sitting in their courtyards and I am recognised at it’. We did not stop until we came to the House and we performed Tawaaf. Then we went out and passed by a gathering of theirs and one of them recognised me and he shouted at the top of his voice, ‘This is Amro Bin Umayya!’

فَثَارَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ إِلَيْنَا وَ قَالُوا مَا جَاءَ إِلَّا لِشَرٍّ وَ كَانَ فَاتِكاً مُتَشَيْطِناً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي النَّجَاءَ هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَحْذَرُ أَمَّا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَلَيْسَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلٌ فَانْجُ بِنَفْسِكَ فَعُدْنَا حَتَّى صَعِدْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَدَخَلْنَا فِي غَارٍ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ لَيْلَتَنَا نَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَ الطَّلَبُ قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَفِيهِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ التَّيْمِيُّ بِفَرَسٍ لَهُ‏

The people of Makkah came towards us and they said, ‘You have not come except with evil (intent)’, and I was a lethal killer during the pre-Islamic period. I said to my companion, ‘The salvation, this is which I was cautioning. As for Abu Sufyan, there isn’t any way to him, so save yourself’. We returned until we ascended the mountain and we entered in a cave. While we were in it for our night, we looked and the search had subsided. He said, ‘By Allah^-azwj I (am ready) for him’, when Usman Bin Malik Al-Taymi came with a horse of his.

فَقَامَ عَلَى بَابِ الْغَارِ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالْخَنْجَرِ فَصَاحَ صَيْحَةً أَسْمَعَ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَكَانِي فَوَجَدُوهُ وَ بِهِ رَمَقٌ فَقَالُوا مَنْ ضَرَبَكَ فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ‏ أُمَيَّةَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُخْبِرَهُمْ بِمَكَانِي وَ شَغَلَهُمْ قَتْلُ صَاحِبِهِمْ عَنْ طَلَبِي فَاحْتَمَلُوهُ وَ مَكَثْنَا فِي الْغَارِ يَوْمَيْنِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ‏ الطَّلَبُ

He stood at the entrance of the cave and I went out and struck him with the dagger. He shrieked such a shout that the people of Makkah hear, and they came towards him, and I returned to my place. They found him and he had some breath left in him. They said, ‘Who struck you?’ He said, ‘Amro Bin Umayya’. Then he died, and he was not able upon informing them with the place, and their pre-occupation with the killing of their companion prevented them for searching for me. They carried him away and we remained in the cave until the search subsided.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَإِذَا خَشَبَةُ خُبَيْبٍ وَ حَوْلَهُ حَرَسٌ فَصَعِدْتُ خَشَبَتَهُ فَاحْتَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِي فَمَا مَشَيْتُ إِلَّا نَحْواً مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ خُطْوَةً حَتَّى بَدَرُوا بِي فَطَرَحْتُهُ فَاشْتَدُّوا فِي أَثَرِي فَأَعْيَوْا وَ رَجَعُوا وَ انْطَلَقَ صَاحِبِي فَرَكِبَ الْبَعِيرَ وَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَخْبَرَهُ وَ أَمَّا خُبَيْبٌ فَلَمْ يُرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَكَأَنَّ الْأَرْضَ ابْتَلَعَتْهُ

Then we went out to Al-Taneem and there was the wood (crucifix) of Khubeyb, and there were guards around him. I climbed his wood and carried him down upon my back. I did not walk except around forty steps until they rushed at me. I dropped him and intensified in my track. They got tired and returned, and my companions went and rode the camel and came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him^-saww. As for khubeyb, I did not see him after that. It was as if the ground had swallowed him’.

قَالَ وَ سِرْتُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ غَارَ الضَّجْنَانِ وَ مَعِي قَوْسِي وَ أَسْهُمِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِيهِ إِذْ دَخَلَ مِنْ بَنِي أَعْوَرَ طَوِيلٌ‏ يَسُوقُ غَنَماً لَهُ فَقَالَ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ فَقُلْتُ مِنْ بَنِي الدُّئِلِ فَاضْطَجَعَ مَعِي وَ رَفَعَ عَقِيرَتَهُ‏ يَتَغَنَّى وَ يَقُولُ وَ لَسْتُ بِمُسْلِمٍ مَا دُمْتُ حَيّاً وَ لَسْتُ أَدِينُ دِينَ الْمُسْلِمِينَا

He said, ‘And I travelled until I entered the cave of Al Zajnan and with me was my bow and my arrows. While I was in it when a tall man from the clan of Awr entered ushering some sheep of his. He said, ‘Who is the man?’ I said, ‘From the clan of Al Duil’. He lied down near me and raised his voice singing and said, ‘I will not be a Muslim for as long as I am alive, and I will not be on the religion of the Muslims’.

ثُمَّ نَامَ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ سِرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلَانِ بَعَثَهُمَا قُرَيْشٌ يَتَجَسَّسَانِ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَرَمَيْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا بِسَهْمٍ فَقَتَلْتُهُ وَ اسْتَأْسَرْتُ الْآخَرَ فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ فَضَحِكَ وَ دَعَا لِي بِخَيْرٍ

Then he slept. I killed him, then travelled, and there were two men which Quraysh had sent to investigate (spy) the matter of Rasool-Allah^-saww. I shot at one of them with an arrow and killed him, and I captured the other and proceeded to Rasool-Allah^-saww and informed him^-saww the news. He^-saww chuckled and supplicated for me with goodness’’.[65]

باب 14 غزوة بني النضير

CHAPTER 14 – MILITARY EXPEDITION OF THE CLAN OF Al-NAZEER

الآيات الحشر هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ ما ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا وَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا وَ قَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَ أَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يا أُولِي الْأَبْصارِ

He is the One Who Threw out from their homes, those who committed Kufr from the People of the Book, at the first banishment. You did not think that they would be coming out, and even they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah. But, Allah Came to them from where they had not reckoned, and the awe was cast into their hearts. They ruined their houses by their own hands and the hands of the Momineen, therefore take a lesson, O the ones with the insight! [59:2]

وَ لَوْ لا أَنْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلاءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذابُ النَّارِ

And had it not been that Allah had Ordained the exile upon them, He would have Punished them in this world, and for them in the Hereafter would be Punishment of the Fire [59:3]

ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ مَنْ يُشَاقِّ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقابِ

That is because they opposed Allah and His Rasool, and (if) one opposes Allah, then surely Allah is Severe of the Punishment [59:4]

ما قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوها قائِمَةً عَلى‏ أُصُولِها فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لِيُخْزِيَ الْفاسِقِينَ‏

Whatever palm-tree you cut down or you leave it standing upon its roots, so it is by Permission of Allah, and for Him is to humiliate the transgressors [59:5]

إلى قوله تعالى الحشر أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نافَقُوا يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَ لا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَداً أَبَداً وَ إِنْ قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنْصُرَنَّكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكاذِبُونَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: Have you not seen those who commit hypocrisy saying to their brethren from the people of the Book, those who commit Kufr, ‘If you were to go forth, we will go forth along with you, and we will never obey anyone regarding you, ever! And if you were to be fought against, we will help you’. And Allah Testifies that they are the liars [59:11] 

لَئِنْ أُخْرِجُوا لا يَخْرُجُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَ لَئِنْ قُوتِلُوا لا يَنْصُرُونَهُمْ وَ لَئِنْ نَصَرُوهُمْ لَيُوَلُّنَّ الْأَدْبارَ ثُمَّ لا يُنْصَرُونَ

If they were to go forth, they would not be going forth along with them, and if they are fought against, they would not be helping them, and even if they do help them, they would turn their backs, then they would not be helped [59:12] 

لَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ رَهْبَةً فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لا يَفْقَهُونَ

You are being more intensely feared in their hearts than Allah. That is because they are a people not understanding [59:13]

لا يُقاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعاً إِلَّا فِي قُرىً مُحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِنْ وَراءِ جُدُرٍ بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَ قُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لا يَعْقِلُونَ

They will not fight against you altogether except in a fortified town, or from behind walls. Their in-fighting between them in severe. You reckon them to be united, and their hearts are disunited. That is because they are a people not using their intellects [59:14] 

كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيباً ذاقُوا وَبالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Like those from before them a while back. They tasted the evil consequences of their affair, and for them would be a painful Punishment [59:15] 

كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطانِ إِذْ قالَ لِلْإِنْسانِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قالَ إِنِّي بَرِي‏ءٌ مِنْكَ إِنِّي أَخافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعالَمِينَ

Like the Satan when he says to the human being, ‘Commit Kufr!’ So when he does commit Kufr, he says, ‘I am disavowed from you. I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds’ [59:16]

فَكانَ عاقِبَتَهُما أَنَّهُما فِي النَّارِ خالِدَيْنِ فِيها وَ ذلِكَ جَزاءُ الظَّالِمِينَ‏

So both their end-results would be that they would both be in the Fire, abiding eternally therein, and that is a Recompense of the unjust ones [59:17]

قال الطبرسي رحمه الله‏ هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ‏ قيل نزلت السورة في إجلاء بني النضير من اليهود فمنهم من خرج إلى خيبر و منهم من خرج إلى الشام‏ عن مجاهد و قتادة و ذلك‏ أن النبي ص لما دخل المدينة صالحه بنو النضير على أن لا يقاتلوه و لا يقاتلوا معه فقبل ذلك منهم

Al-Tabarsy said, ‘He is the One Who Threw out [59:2] – ‘It is said the Chapter was Revealed regarding the evacuation of the clan of Al-Nazeer from the Jews. From them was one who went out to Khyber and from them was one who went out to Syria – from Mujadi and Qatada, and that is that when the Prophet^-saww entered Al-Medina the clan of Al-Nazeer reconciled with him^-saww upon that they will not fight against him^-saww nor fight with him^-saww. He^-saww accepted that from them.

فلما غزا رسول الله ص بدرا و ظهر على المشركين قالوا و الله إنه للنبي‏ الذي وجدنا نعته في التوراة لا ترد له راية فلما غزا ص غزاة أحد و هزم المسلمون ارتابوا و نقضوا العهد فركب كعب بن الأشرف في أربعين راكبا من اليهود إلى مكة فأتوا قريشا و حالفوهم و عاقدوهم على أن تكون كلمتهم واحدة على محمد ص

When Rasool-Allah^-saww battled at Badr and won against the Polytheists, they said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! Surely, he^-saww is the Prophet^-saww whom we find him^-saww to be in the Torah. No flag would be repelled to him^-saww’. When he^-saww battled the battle of Ohad and the Muslims were defeated, they doubted and broke the covenant. Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf rode to Makkah among forty riders from the Jews. They came to Quraysh and vowed to them and made a pact with them upon that their word would be one against Muhammad^-saww.

ثم دخل أبو سفيان في أربعين و كعب في أربعين من اليهود المسجد و أخذ بعضهم على بعض الميثاق بين الأستار و الكعبة ثم رجع كعب بن الأشرف و أصحابه إلى المدينة و نزل جبرئيل و أخبر النبي ص بما تعاقد عليه كعب و أبو سفيان و أمره بقتل كعب بن الأشرف فقتله محمد بن مسلمة الأنصاري و كان أخاه من الرضاعة

Then Abu Sufyan entered the Masjid among forty, and Ka’ab among forty from the Jews, and they took the covenant upon each other between the curtains and the Kabah. Then Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf and his companions returned to Al-Medina, and Jibraeel^-as descended and informed the Prophet^-saww of what Ka’ab and Abu Sufyan had pacted upon, and instructed him^-saww to kill Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad Bin Maslama the Helper killed him, and he was his brother from the breast-feeding.

قال محمد بن إسحاق خرج رسول الله ص إلى بني النضير يستعينهم في دية القتيلين من بني عامر اللذين قتلهما عمرو بن أمية الضمري و كان بين بني النضير و بين عامر عقد و حلف فلما أتاهم رسول الله ص يستعينهم في الدية قالوا نعم يا أبا القاسم نعينك على ما أحببت ثم خلا بعضهم ببعض فقال‏ إنكم لن تجدوا الرجل على مثل حالته هذه و رسول الله ص إلى جانب جدار من بيوتهم قاعد

Muhammad Bin Is’haq said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww went out to the clan of Al-Nazeer seeking their assistance regarding the wergild of the two killed from the clan of Aamir, those who were killed by Amro Bin Umayya Al-Zamry, and there used to be a pact between the clans of Al-Nazeer and Aamir, and an oath. When Rasool-Allah^-saww came to them, they said, ‘Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim, we shall assist you^-saww upon what you^-saww like’. Then they isolated with each other and said, ‘You will never find a man upon the like of this state’, and Rasool-Allah^-saww was seated by the side of the wall from their houses.

فقالوا من رجل يعلو على هذا البيت و يلقي عليه صخرة و رسول الله ص في نفر من أصحابه فأتاه الخبر من السماء بما أراد القوم فقام و قال لأصحابه لا تبرحوا فخرج راجعا إلى المدينة و لما استبطئوا النبي ص قاموا في طلبه فلقوا رجلا مقبلا من المدينة فسألوه عنه فقال رأيته داخلا المدينة

He said, ‘Which man would climb upon this house and throw a rock upon him^-saww?’ And Rasool-Allah^-saww was among a number of his^-saww companions, and the news came to him^-saww from the sky with what the people had intended. He^-saww stood up and said to his^-saww companions: ‘Do not move from your positions’. He^-saww went out returning to Al-Medina, and when the Prophet^-saww was delayed, they stood up in seeking him^-saww and they met a man coming from Al-Medina. They asked him about him^-saww, and he said, ‘I saw him^-saww inside Al-Medina’.

فأقبل أصحاب النبي ص حتى انتهوا إليه فأخبرهم الخبر بما أرادت اليهود من الغدر و أمر رسول الله ص محمد بن مسلمة بقتل كعب بن الأشرف فخرج و معه سلكان بن سلامة و ثلاثة من بني الحارث و خرج النبي ص على أثرهم‏ و جلس في موضع ينتظر رجوعهم فذهب محمد بن‏ مسلمة مع القوم إلى قرب قصره و أجلس قومه عند جدار و ناداه يا كعب

The companions of the Prophet^-saww came until they ended up to him^-saww. He^-saww informed them of the news of what the Jews had intended of the betrayal, and Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed Muhammad Bin Maslama to kill Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf. He went out, and with him were Salkan Bin Maslama and three from the clan of Al-Haris, and the Prophet^-saww went out upon their footsteps and sat in a place awaiting their return. Muhammad Bin Maslama went with the group to near his castle, and his group sat by a wall, and he called out to him, ‘O Ka’ab!’

فانتبه و قال من أنت قال أنا محمد بن مسلمة أخوك جئتك أستقرض منك دراهم فإن محمدا يسألنا الصدقة و ليس معنا الدراهم فقال كعب لا أقرضك إلا بالرهن قال معي رهن انزل فخذه

He woke up and said, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Muhammad Bin Maslama, your brother. I have come to you to borrow some Dirhams from you, for Muhammad^-saww asked us for charity and there are no Dirhams with us’. Ka’ab said, ‘I will not lend you except with a security deposit’. He said, ‘There is a security deposit with me; come down and take it’.

و كانت له امرأة بنى بها تلك الليلة عروسا فقالت لا أدعك تنزل لأني أرى حمرة الدم في ذلك الصوت فلم يلتفت إليها و خرج فعانقه محمد بن مسلمة و هما يتحادثان حتى تباعدا من القصر إلى الصحراء ثم أخذ رأسه و دعا بقومه و صاح كعب فسمعت امرأته فصاحت و سمع بنو النضير صوتها فخرجوا نحوه فوجدوه قتيلا و رجع القوم سالمين إلى رسول الله ص

And there was a wife for him he had got married to during that night. She said, ‘I will not leave you to go down because I see red blood in that voice’. But he did not turn towards her and went out. Muhammad Bin Maslama hugged him and they discussed until they were distant from the castle to the desert. Then he grabbed his head and called for his group, and Ka’ab shouted. His wife heard and she shouted and the clan of Al-Nazeer heard her voice, and they came towards him and they found him killed, and the group return safely to Rasool-Allah^-saww.

فلما أسفر الصبح أخبر رسول الله ص أصحابه بقتل كعب ففرحوا و أمر رسول الله ص بحربهم و السير إليهم فسار بالناس حتى نزل بهم فتحصنوا منه في الحصن و أمر رسول الله ص بقطع النخل و التحريق فيها فنادوه يا محمد قد كنت تنهى عن الفحشاء فما بالك تقطع النخل و تحرقها

When the morning appeared, Rasool-Allah^-saww informed his^-saww companions with the killing of Ka’ab, and they rejoiced, and Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed them with going out and the travelling to them. He^-saww travelled with the people until he^-saww descended with them and they had fortified him in the fort, and Rasool-Allah^-saww instructed with cutting off the palm trees and the burning therein. They called out, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! You^-saww used to forbid from the immoralities, so what is the matter you^-saww cut down the palm trees and burnt them?’

فأنزل الله سبحانه‏ ما قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوها الآية و هي البؤيرة في قول حسان‏

و هان على سراة بني لؤي		حريق بالبؤيرة مستطير

Allah^-azwj the Glorious Revealed: Whatever palm-tree you cut down or you leave it [59:5] – the Verse, and it is ‘Al-Buewyra’ (the fire) in the words of Hasaan (the poet), who prosed, ‘And the spreading fire at Al Buwayrah was regarded as a trivial matter by the chiefs of Banu Luayy’.

و قال ابن عباس كان النبي ص حاصرهم حتى بلغ منهم كل مبلغ فأعطوه ما أراد منهم فصالحهم على أن يحقن لهم دماءهم و أن يخرجهم من أرضهم و أوطانهم و أن يسيرهم إلى أذرعات بالشام و جعل لكل ثلاثة منهم بعيرا و سقاء

And Ibn Abbas said, ‘The Prophet^-saww had besieged them until it reached with them every reaching, and they gave him^-saww what he^-saww wanted from them. He^-saww reconciled with them upon that he^-saww would save their blood and that they would come out from the land and their homeland, and that they would travel to Azra’at at Syria, and make for every three of them, one camel and one quencher.

فخرجوا إلى أذرعات و أريحا إلا أهل بيتين منهم آل أبي الحقيق و آل حيي بن أخطب فإنهم لحقوا بخيبر و لحقت طائفة منهم بالحيرة و كان ابن عباس يسمي هذه السورة سورة بني النضير

They went out to Azra’at and Areyha, except for two households from them, the family of Al Haqeeq and the family of Huyay Bin Akhtab, for they went to Khyber, and a group from them went to Al Hira, and Ibn Abbas had named this Chapter as ‘Surah Banu Al Nazeer’’.

1- عم، إعلام الورى‏ ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَشَى إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ الْأَشْرَفِ يَسْتَقْرِضُهُ فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَ أَهْلًا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَامَ كَأَنَّهُ يَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ طَعَاماً وَ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص

‘Alaam Al Wara’ – Then there was the military expedition of the clan of Al Nazeer, and that is that Rasool-Allah^-saww walked to Ka’ab Bin Al Ashraf to borrow from him. He said, ‘Welcome to you^-saww O Abu Al Qasim^-asws and hello!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions sat down. He stood up as if he was preparing a meal for them, and discussed within himself that he would kill Rasool-Allah^-saww.

فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا هَمَّ بِهِ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الْغَدْرِ فَقَامَ ص كَأَنَّهُ يَقْضِي حَاجَةً وَ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْتُلُونَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ فَأَخَذَ ص الطَّرِيقَ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ كَعْبٍ الَّذِينَ كَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَسْتَعِينُ بِهِمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرَ كَعْباً بِذَلِكَ فَسَارَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ رَاجِعِينَ

Jibraeel^-as descended and informed him^-saww with what the people were thinking of the betrayal. He^-saww stood up as if he^-saww was going to fulfil a need and understood that they would not be killing his^-saww companions while he^-saww was still alive. He^-saww took to the road towards Al-Medina. One of the companions of Ka’ab met him^-saww, those whom he had sent a message to, seeking assistance against Rasool-Allah^-saww. He informed Ka’ab with that, and the Muslims travelled, returning.

فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صُورِيَا وَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ الْيَهُودِ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ‏ أَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْغَدْرِ وَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ‏ أَوَّلَ مَا يَأْتِيكُمْ‏ إِلَّا رَسُولُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَأْمُرُكُمْ عَنْهُ بِالْجَلَاءِ فَأَطِيعُونِي فِي خَصْلَتَيْنِ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَنْ تُسْلِمُوا فَتَأْمَنُوا عَلَى دِيَارِكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ إِلَّا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِيكُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ لَكُمْ اخْرُجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ

Abdullah Bin Sowriya said, and he was most knowledgeable of the Jews, ‘Surely his^-saww Lord^-azwj has Notified him^-saww upon what you had intended of the betrayal, and he^-saww will not come to you^-saww. By Allah^-azwj! The first one to come to you would only be a messenger of Muhammad^-saww ordering you all on his^-saww behalf with the exiling, so obey me regarding two things, there is no good in the third. Either you should become Muslims and be secure upon your houses and your wealth, or else there will be coming one who will be saying to you, ‘Get out from your houses!’

فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ الْأُولَى خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ لَا أَنِّي أَفْضَحُكُمْ لَأَسْلَمْتُ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالرَّحِيلِ وَ الْجَلَاءِ عَنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُؤَجِّلَهُمْ فِي الْجَلَاءِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ‏

They said, ‘This is more beloved to us’. He said, ‘But the first (choice) is better for you than it, and had it not been for me exposing you all, I would have become a Muslim’. Then he^-saww sent Muhammad Bin Maslama to them ordering them with the departing and the expulsion from their houses and their wealth, and instructed him that he should respite them regarding the exiling, for three nights’’.[66]

2- أَقُولُ قَالَ الْكَازِرُونِيُّ وَ غَيْرُهُ فِي شَرْحِ تِلْكَ الْقِصَّةِ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ‏ وَ كَانَتْ مَنَازِلُهُمْ بِنَاحِيَةِ الْفَرْعِ وَ مَا وَالاهَا بِقَرْيَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا زُهْرَةُ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمَّا نَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَ عَاقَدُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى حَرْبِ النَّبِيِّ ص خَرَجَ ص يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِ قُبَاءَ وَ مَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Kazruny and others said in explanation of that story, ‘The military expedition of the clan of Al Nazeer happened in Rabbi Al Awwal, and their houses were in the area of Al Farie and what follows it, by a town called Zuhra, and they, when they broke the covenant and made a pact with the Polytheists upon going to war against the Prophet^-saww. He^-saww went out on the day of Saturday and prayed Salat in Masjid Quba, and with him^-saww were a number of his^-saww companions.

ثُمَّ أَتَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ أَنْ يُعِينُوهُ فِي دِيَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ كَانَ قَدْ آمَنَهُمَا فَقَتَلَهُمَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ وَ هُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَقَالُوا نَفْعَلُ وَ هَمُّوا بِالْغَدْرِ بِهِ فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الحجاش‏ أَنَا أَظْهَرُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ فَأَطْرَحُ عَلَيْهِ صَخْرَةً فَقَالَ سَلَامُ بْنُ مِشْكَمٍ لَا تَفْعَلُوا فَوَ اللَّهِ لَيُخْبَرَنَّ بِمَا هَمَمْتُمْ‏

Then he^-saww came to the clan of Al-Nazeer and spoke to them that they should assist him^-saww regarding the wergild of two men whom they had granted safety but were killed by Amro Bin Umayya, and he did not know. They said, ‘We shall do so’, and they thought of betraying him^-saww. Amro Bin Al-Hajash, ‘I will go on top of the house and drop a rock upon him^-saww. Salam Bin Mishkem, ‘Do not do it, for by Allah^-azwj he^-saww would be informed of what you are thinking of’.

‏ فَجَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ ص فَخَرَجَ رَاجِعاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلِيّاً وَ قَالَ لَا تَبْرَحْ مِنْ مَكَانِكَ فَمَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي فَسَأَلَكَ عَنِّي فَقُلْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ لَحِقُوا بِهِ فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ص مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْجَلَاءِ وَ قَالَ لَا تُسَاكِنُونِي‏ وَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُمْ بِمَا هَمَمْتُمْ بِهِ وَ قَدْ أَجَّلْتُكُمْ عَشْراً

Jibraeel^-as came to him^-saww and informed him^-saww. He^-saww went out returning to Al-Medina, then called Ali^-asws and said: ‘Do not move from your^-asws position, and the one from my^-saww companions who comes to you^-asws asking about me^-saww, then say: ‘He^-saww headed towards Al-Medina’. He^-asws did that, then caught up with him^-saww. The Prophet^-saww sent Muhammad Bin Maslama to them and ordered them with the expulsion and said: ‘You did not let me^-saww dwell and had thought with what you had thought with, and I^-saww have respited you for ten (days)’.

فَأَرْسَلَ‏ إِلَيْهِمُ ابْنُ أُبَيٍّ لَا تَخْرُجُوا فَإِنَّ مَعِي أَلْفَيْنِ مِنْ قَوْمِي وَ غَيْرِهِمْ يَدْخُلُونَ حُصُونَكُمْ فَيَمُوتُونَ مِنْ آخِرِهِمْ وَ يُمِدُّكُمْ قُرَيْظَةُ وَ حُلَفَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ غَطَفَانَ فَطَمِعَ حُيَيٌ‏ فِيمَا قَالَ ابْنُ أُبَيٍّ

Ibn Ubay sent a message to them, ‘Do not go out for with me; there are two thousand from my people, and others will enter your fortress, and they will be dying up to their last one, and (the clan of) Qureyza and their allies from Gatfan will be helping you’. Huyay coveted regarding what Ibn Ubay said.

فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بِفِنَاءِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَحْمِلُ رَايَتَهُ وَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَامُوا عَلَى حُصُونِهِمْ مَعَهُمُ النَّبْلُ وَ الْحِجَارَةُ فَاعْتَزَلَتْهُمْ قُرَيْظَةُ وَ خَفَرَهُمْ ابْنُ أُبَيٍ‏ فَحَاصَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَطَعَ نَخْلَهُمْ وَ كَانَتِ النَّخْلَةُ مِنْ نَخِيلِهِمْ ثَمَنَ وَصِيفٍ وَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ وَصِيفٍ وَ قِيلَ قَطَعُوا نَخْلَةً وَ أَحْرَقُوا نَخْلَةً وَ قِيلَ كَانَ جَمِيعُ مَا قَطَعُوا وَ أَحْرَقُوا سِتَّ نَخَلَاتٍ

The Prophet^-saww went out to them and prayed Al-Asr Salat in the courtyard of the clan of Al-Nazeer, and Ali^-asws was carrying his^-saww flag, and he^-saww left behind Ibn Umm Maktoum (in charge) upon Al-Medina. When they saw Rasool-Allah^-saww they stood upon their fortress (wall), having the arrows and the stones with them. (The clan of) Qureyza renounced them and Ibn Ubay patrolled them. Rasool-Allah^-saww besieged them and cut down the palm tree from their palm trees, its price was that of a servant, and it was more beloved to them than a servant; and it is said he^-saww cut down a palm tree and burnt a palm tree, and it is said he^-saww gathered what he^-saww cut down and burnt six palm trees.

فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ نَخْرُجُ مِنْ بِلَادِكَ فَأَجْلَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ وَلَّى إِخْرَاجَهُمْ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ وَ حَمَلُوا النِّسَاءَ وَ الصِّبْيَانَ وَ تَحَمَّلُوا عَلَى سِتِّمِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اخْرُجُوا وَ لَكُمْ دِمَاؤُكُمْ وَ مَا حَمَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ إِلَّا الْحَلْقَةَ وَ هِيَ السِّلَاحُ

They said, ‘We shall go out from your^-saww city’. He^-saww expelled them from Al-Medina and made Muhammad Bin Maslama in charge of their exile; and they carried the women and the children and carried upon six hundred camels, and Rasool-Allah^-saww said to them: ‘Go out and for you is your blood and what the camel can carry except the ‘Halaqa’’ – and it is the weapon’.

فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْأَمْوَالَ وَ الْحَلْقَةَ فَوَجَدَ مِنَ الْحَلْقَةِ خَمْسِينَ دِرْعاً وَ خَمْسِينَ بَيْضَةً وَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَيْفاً وَ كَانَتْ غَنَائِمُ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ صَفِيّاً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص خَالِصَةً لَمْ يَخْمُسْهَا وَ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ مِنْهَا لِأَحَدٍ وَ قَدْ أَعْطَى نَاساً مِنْهَا وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ حَاصَرَهُمْ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً

Rasool-Allah^-saww took possession of the wealth and the ‘Halaqa’, and found from the ‘Halaqa’ fifty coats of armour and fifty helmets and three hundred and forty swords, and the booty of the clan of Al-Nazeer was purely for Rasool-Allah^-saww, not setting out a fifth and not sharing for anyone, and he^-saww had given the people from it. And it is reported that he^-saww besieged them for twenty-one days’’.[67]

3- فس، تفسير القمي‏ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ‏ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ سَبَبُ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بُطْنَانٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْ بَنِي هَارُونَ وَ هُمُ النَّضِيرُ وَ قُرَيْظَةُ وَ كَانَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ سَبْعَمِائَةٍ وَ النَّضِيرُ أَلْفاً وَ كَانَتِ النَّضِيرُ أَكْثَرَ مَالًا وَ أَحْسَنَ حَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ وَ كَانُوا حُلَفَاءَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ

In Tafseer Qummy – O you Rasool! Do not let them grieve you, those who are hastening into Kufr, from those who are saying, ‘We believe’, with their mouths while their hearts are not believing, [5:41] – ‘The reason for the Revelation of this Verse was that at Al-Medina there were squabbles between the Jews from the sons of Haroun, and they were the clan of Nazeer, and (the clan of) Qureyza, and the Qureyza were seven hundred, and the Nazeer were a thousand (people), and the Nazeer were of more wealth and better state than the Qureyza, and they were allies of Abdullah Bin Abayy.

فَكَانَ إِذَا وَقَعَ بَيْنَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَ النَّضِيرِ قَتِيلٌ وَ كَانَ الْقَتِيلُ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ قَالُوا لِبَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ لَا نَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قَتِيلٌ مِنَّا بِقَتِيلٍ مِنْكُمْ فَجَرَى بَيْنَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مُخَاطَبَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ حَتَّى كَادُوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا حَتَّى رَضِيَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ

And it so happened that there occurred a murder between Qureyza and Nazeer, and the killer was from the clan of Nazeer. They said to the clan of Qureyza, ‘We are not happy that there should happen to be a killed one from us due to a killed one from you. So there flowed a lot of heated arguments between them regarding the extent to which they almost killed each other, until the Qureyza were pleased.

وَ كَتَبُوا بَيْنَهُمْ كِتَاباً عَلَى أَنَّهُ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ مِنَ النَّضِيرِ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ أَنْ يُجَنِّيَهُ‏ وَ يُحَمِّمَ‏ وَ التَّجْنِيَةُ أَنْ يُقْعَدَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ وَ يُوَلَّى وَجْهُهُ إِلَى ذَنَبِ الْجَمَلِ وَ يُلَطَّخَ وَجْهُهُ بِالْحَمْأَةِ وَ يَدْفَعَ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ

And they wrote a letter between them upon that whichever man from the Nazeer kills a man from the clan of Qureyza, it would obligate him he would be whipped forty lashes, and be in a knee-chest position, and be seated upon a camel and turned around by face towards the tail of the camel, and blacken his face with the black mud, and he would have to hand over half the wergild.

وَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مِنَ النَّضِيرِ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الدِّيَةَ كَامِلَةً وَ يُقْتَلَ بِهِ

And whichever man from the clan of Qureyza kills a man from the Nazeer, then he should hand over the full wergild, and he would be killed along with it.

فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ دَخَلَ الْأَوْسُ وَ الْخَزْرَجُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ضَعُفَ أَمْرُ الْيَهُودِ فَقَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَبَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بَنُو النَّضِيرِ ابْعَثُوا إِلَيْنَا بِدِيَةِ الْمَقْتُولِ وَ بِالْقَاتِلِ حَتَّى نَقْتُلَهُ فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ لَيْسَ هَذَا حُكْمَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ غَلَبْتُمُونَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِمَّا الدِّيَةُ وَ إِمَّا الْقَتْلُ وَ إِلَّا فَهَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ فَهَلُمُّوا نَتَحَاكَمْ إِلَيْهِ

When Rasool-Allah^-saww emigrated to Al-Medina, the (tribes of) Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj entered into Al-Islam, the matter of the Jews was weakened. Then a man from the clan of Qureyza killed a man from the clan of Al-Nazeer. The clan of Al-Nazeer sent him a message, ‘Send to us the wergild of the killed one, and the killer, until we kill him’. The Qureyza said, ‘This isn’t a Judgment of the Torah, and rather it is a thing we’ve overcome upon, either it is the wergild and either it is the killing, or else, this here is Muhammad^-saww between us and you, so come with us to him^-saww to be judged’.

فَمَشَتْ بَنُو النَّضِيرِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَ قَالُوا سَلْ مُحَمَّداً أَنْ لَا يَنْقُضَ شَرْطَنَا فِي هَذَا الْحُكْمِ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ قُرَيْظَةَ فِي الْقَتْلِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْعَثُوا رَجُلًا يَسْمَعْ كَلَامِي وَ كَلَامَهُ فَإِنْ حَكَمَ لَكُمْ بِمَا تُرِيدُونَ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا تَرْضَوْا بِهِ

The clan of Al-Nazeer walked to Abdullah Bin Abay and they said, ‘Ask Muhammad^-saww that he^-saww should not break our stipulations in this judgment which is between us and the clan of Qureyza regarding the killing’. Abdullah Bin Abay said, ‘Send some men along with me to hear my speech and his^-saww speech. If he^-saww does judge for you all with what you are wanting (fine), or else you should not be pleased with him^-saww’.

فَبَعَثُوا مَعَهُ رَجُلًا فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَ النَّضِيرَ قَدْ كَتَبُوا بَيْنَهُمْ كِتَاباً وَ عَهْداً وَثِيقاً تَرَاضَوْا بِهِ وَ الْآنَ فِي قُدُومِكَ يُرِيدُونَ نَقْضَهُ وَ قَدْ رَضُوا بِحُكْمِكَ فِيهِمْ فَلَا تَنْقُضْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَابَهُمْ وَ شَرْطَهُمْ فَإِنَّ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ لَهُمُ الْقُوَّةُ وَ السِّلَاحُ وَ الْكُرَاعُ وَ نَحْنُ نَخَافُ الدَّوَائِرَ

They sent some men with him, and he came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said to him^-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! These people of Qureyza and Al-Nazeer have written a letter between them and an agreement and a covenant and they are pleased with it. And now, in front of you^-saww, they are wanting your^-saww judgment, and they have agreed with your^-saww judgment regarding them. But, you^-saww should not break upon them their writing and their stipulation, for the clan of Nazeer are such that for them is the strength and the weapons and the cavalry, and we fear the calamities and the changes of time’.

فَاغْتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هادُوا يَعْنِي الْيَهُودَ سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww was gloomy due to that and did not answer him anything. Then Jibraeel^-as descended unto him^-saww with this Verse O you Rasool! Do not let them grieve you, those who are hastening into Kufr, from those who are saying, ‘We believe’, with their mouths while their hearts are not believing, and from those who are Jews – meaning the Jews, who are listening to the lies.

سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَواضِعِهِ‏ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ وَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هذا فَخُذُوهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوا يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ حَيْثُ قَالَ لِبَنِي النَّضِيرِ إِنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ لَكُمْ بِمَا تُرِيدُونَهُ فَلَا تَقْبَلُوا

They are listening for another people who have yet to come to you. They are altering the words from their places afterwards [5:41] meaning Abdullah Bin Abay where he said to the clan of Nazeer, ‘If he^-saww does not judge for you with what you are wanting, then do not accept.

وَ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ فِتْنَتَهُ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا خِزْيٌ وَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذابٌ عَظِيمٌ

And the one whom Allah Intends to Try, so you will never control for him anything from Allah. They are those whom Allah does not Intend to purify their hearts. For them in the world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a grievous Punishment [5:41]

سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ أَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ فَإِنْ جاؤُكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ إِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْئاً وَ إِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ‏

They are listening to the lies, devouring the ill-gotten gains. If they were to come to you, then judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them, they will never (be able to) harm you anything, and if you judge, then judge between them with the justice; surely Allah Loves the just ones [5:42]

إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكافِرُونَ

Up to His^-azwj Words: And the ones who do not judge with what Allah Revealed, so them, they are the Kafirs [5:44].

قَوْلُهُ‏ نَخْشى‏ أَنْ تُصِيبَنا دائِرَةٌ هُوَ قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَنْقُضْ حُكْمَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَإِنَّا نَخَافُ الدَّوَائِرَ.

‘We fear that a calamity would befall us’. [5:52] – It is the word of Abdullah Bin Ubayy to Rasool-Allah^-saww, ‘Do not break the ruling of the clan of Al-Nazer, for we fear the calamity’’.[68]

4- فس، تفسير القمي‏ هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ ما ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا

Tafseer Al-Qummy – He is the One Who Threw out from their homes, those who committed Kufr from the People of the Book, at the first banishment. You did not think that they would be coming out, [59:2] –

قَالَ سَبَبُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَبْطُنٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَ قَيْنُقَاعَ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَهْدٌ وَ مُدَّةٌ فَنَقَضُوا عَهْدَهُمْ وَ كَانَ سَبَبَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فِي نَقْضِ عَهْدِهِمْ أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَسْتَسْلِفُهُمْ دِيَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ قَتَلَهُمَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ غِيلَةً يَعْنِي يَسْتَقْرِضُ وَ كَانَ قَصَدَ كَعْبَ بْنَ الْأَشْرَفِ

‘The reason for that – In Al-Medina there were three clans of the Jews – the clan of Al-Nazeyr, and Qureyza, and Qaynaqa’a, and there was an agreement and a term fixed between them and Rasool-Allah^-saww. They nullified their agreement, and the reason for it was that, in the clan of Nazeyr, regarding the nullification of their agreement, they came to Rasool-Allah^-saww demanding blood money for the killing of two of their men by one of his^-saww companions in assassination, meaning he^-saww should lend it, and it was Ka’b Bin Al-Ashraf whom they had intended.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى كَعْبٍ قَالَ مَرْحَباً يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَ أَهْلًا وَ قَامَ كَأَنَّهُ يَصْنَعُ لَهُ الطَّعَامَ وَ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ يُتْبِعَ‏ أَصْحَابَهُ فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ

When he^-saww came up to Ka’b, he said, ‘Congratulations O Abu Al-Qasim^-saww and welcome’. And he stood up as if he was making arrangements for the food for him^-saww. And he thought to himself of killing Rasool-Allah^-saww and pursuing his^-saww companions. But Jibraeel^-as descended and informed him^-saww of that.

فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَالَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي بِمَا هَمَمْتُمْ بِهِ مِنَ الْغَدْرِ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْ بَلَدِنَا وَ إِمَّا أَنْ تَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ‏ فَقَالُوا نَخْرُجُ مِنْ بِلَادِكَ‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww returned to Al-Medina, and said to Muhammad Bin Muslim Al-Ansary: ‘Go to the clan of Al-Nazeyr, and inform them that Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Informed me^-saww of what they are thinking of from the treachery, ‘Either you should leave our city, or you make proclamation for war’. They said, ‘We will go out from your city’.

فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ أَلَّا تَخْرُجُوا وَ تُقِيمُوا وَ تُنَابِذُوا مُحَمَّداً الْحَرْبَ فَإِنِّي أَنْصُرُكُمْ أَنَا وَ قَوْمِي وَ حُلَفَائِي فَإِنْ خَرَجْتُمْ خَرَجْتُ مَعَكُمْ وَ إِنْ قَاتَلْتُمْ قَاتَلْتُ مَعَكُمْ فَأَقَامُوا وَ أَصْلَحُوا حُصُونَهُمْ وَ تَهَيَّئُوا لِلْقِتَالِ وَ بَعَثُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّا لَا نَخْرُجُ فَاصْنَعْ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ

He^-saww sent Abdullah Bin Ubayy to them but he said, ‘If you do not go out and stay put, you will be the focus for the war of Muhammad^-saww. I am your helper, along with my people and my allies. If you go out, I shall go out with you, and if you fight, I shall fight with you’. But they stayed put, and repaired their fortresses and prepared for the battle. And they sent a message to Rasool-Allah^-saww, ‘We will not leave, so you^-saww do what you want to do’.

فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَبَّرَ وَ كَبَّرَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ قَالَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ تَقَدَّمْ إِلَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَأَخَذَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ الرَّايَةَ وَ تَقَدَّمَ وَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَحَاطَ بِحِصْنِهِمْ وَ غَدَرَ بِهِمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ

Rasool-Allah^-saww stood up and was aroused, and his^-saww companions were aroused, and he^-saww said to Amir-al-Momineen^-asws: ‘March (in battle) to the clan of Al-Nazeyr’. Amir-al-Momineen^-asws grabbed the flag and marched, and Rasool-Allah^-saww came and surrounded their fortresses, and Abdullah Bin Ubayy betrayed them’.

وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا ظَفِرَ بِمُقَدَّمِ بُيُوتِهِمْ حَصَّنُوا مَا يَلِيهِمْ وَ خَرَّبُوا مَا يَلِيهِ وَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ مِمَّنْ كَانَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ حَسَنٌ خَرَّبَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرَ بِقَطْعِ نَخْلِهِمْ فَجَزِعُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ بِالْفَسَادِ إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ هَذَا فَخُذْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فَلَا تَقْطَعْهُ

And Rasool-Allah^-saww had, when their houses were apparent from the march, fortified some and ruined some. And the man from them for whom was a good house, it was ruined. And Rasool-Allah^-saww had ordered the cutting of their palm trees, so they grieved from that. They said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Has Allah^-azwj Commanded you^-saww for the mischief? If this is for you^-saww, so take it, and if it is for us, so do not cut it’.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ نَخْرُجُ مِنْ بِلَادِكَ فَأَعْطِنَا مَالَنَا فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ تَخْرُجُونَ وَ لَكُمْ مَا حَمَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَبَقُوا أَيَّاماً

When it was after that they said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! We will go out from your^-saww city, so give us our wealth’. He^-saww said: ‘No. But you will be leaving with what the camel can carry’. But they did not accept that, and they remained for a few days’.

ثُمَّ قَالُوا نَخْرُجُ وَ لَنَا مَا حَمَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ تَخْرُجُونَ وَ لَا يَحْمِلُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئاً فَمَنْ وَجَدْنَا مَعَهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَتَلْنَاهُ

Then they said, ‘We will leave, and for us would be what the camel can carry’. He^-saww said: ‘No, but not one of you will carry anything. The one who is found with something which is with him, we will him’.

فَخَرَجُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ وَقَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى فَدَكٍ وَ وَادِي الْقُرَى وَ خَرَجَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ‏ هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ ما ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا وَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقابِ‏

They went out upon that, and a group from them went to Fadak and the valley of Al-Qura, and a group from them went to Syria, and Allah^-azwj Revealed regarding them: He is the One Who Threw out from their homes, those who committed Kufr from the People of the Book, at the first banishment. You did not think that they would be coming out, and they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah. But Allah Came to them from where they had not reckoned [59:2] – up to His^-azwj Words: and (if) one opposes Allah, then surely Allah is Severe of the Punishment [59:4].

وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا عَابُوهُ مِنْ قَطْعِ النَّخْلِ‏ ما قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوها قائِمَةً عَلى‏ أُصُولِها فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لِيُخْزِيَ الْفاسِقِينَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

And He^-azwj Revealed unto him^-saww regarding what they were refusing from cutting of the palm tree: Whatever palm-tree you cut down or you leave it standing upon its roots, so it is by Permission of Allah, and for Him is to humiliate the transgressors [59:5] – up to His^-azwj Words: Our Lord, You are Kind, Merciful [59:10].

وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ‏ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نافَقُوا يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَ لا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَداً أَبَداً وَ إِنْ قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنْصُرَنَّكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكاذِبُونَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ ثُمَّ لا يُنْصَرُونَ‏

And He^-azwj Revealed unto him^-saww regarding Abdullah Bin Ubayy and his companions: Have you not seen those who commit hypocrisy saying to their brethren from the people of the Book, those who commit Kufr, ‘If you were to go forth, we will go forth along with you, and we will never obey anyone regarding you, ever! And if you were to be fought against, we will help you’. And Allah Testifies that they are the liars [59:11] – up to His^-azwj Words: then they would not be helped [59:12].

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ‏ يَعْنِي بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ‏ قَرِيباً ذاقُوا وَبالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ‏

Then He^-azwj Said: Like those from before them – meaning the clan of Qaynaqa, a while back. They tasted the evil consequences of their affair, and for them would be a painful Punishment [59:15]. 

ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ مَثَلًا فَقَالَ‏ كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطانِ إِذْ قالَ لِلْإِنْسانِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قالَ إِنِّي بَرِي‏ءٌ مِنْكَ إِنِّي أَخافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعالَمِينَ‏ قَوْلُهُ‏ فَكانَ عاقِبَتَهُما أَنَّهُما فِي النَّارِ خالِدَيْنِ فِيها وَ ذلِكَ جَزاءُ الظَّالِمِينَ

Then He^-azwj Struck an example regarding Abdullah Bin Ubayy and the clan of Al Nazeer. He^-azwj Said: Like the Satan when he says to the human being, ‘Commit Kufr!’ So, when he does commit Kufr, he says, ‘I am disavowed from you. I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds’ [59:16] –His^-azwj Words: So both their end-results would be that they would both be in the Fire, abiding eternally therein, and that is a Recompense of the unjust ones [59:17].

فِيهِ‏ زِيَادَةُ أَحْرُفٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ‏ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ‏ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي‏ حَمْزَةَ- عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ- عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ‏

Regarding it, there are an additional words which do not happen to be in the report of Ali Bin Ibrahim – It is narrate to us by Ahamad Bin Muhammad bin Sab it, from Ahmad Bin Maysam, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer regarding the military expedition of the clan of Al-Nazeer, and there is an increase in it –

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ دَفَعْتُ إِلَيْكُمُ‏ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ قَسَمْتُهَا فِيهِمْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ قَسَمْتُهَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ تَرَكْتُهُمْ مَعَكُمْ قَالُوا قَدْ شِئْنَا أَنْ تَقْسِمَهَا فِيهِمْ فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ دَفَعَهُمْ عَنِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا رَجُلَيْنِ وَ هُمَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ فَإِنَّهُمَا ذَكَرَا حَاجَةً.

Rasool-Allah^-saww said to the Helpers: ‘If you like, I^-saww can push it away to (from) you and distribute it among them, and if you like I can distribute it between you and them, and leave them with you’. They said, ‘We desire that you^-saww distribute it among them’. So, Rasool-Allah^-saww distributed it between the Emigrants and pushed it away from the Helpers, and did not give it from the Helpers except to two men, and they were Sahl Bin Huneyf and Abu Dujana, for they both expressed need.[69]

5- وَ رَوَى الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ الْبَيَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ‏ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ قَسَمْتُمْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ تُشَارِكُونَهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْغَنِيمَةِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ دِيَارُكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ لَكُمْ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ

Tabarsy reported in (the book) ‘Majma Al-Bayan’, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said to the Helpers on the day of the clan of Al-Nazeer: ‘If you like, you can distribute for the Emigrants from your houses and your wealth, and you can participate in this booty, and if you like your houses and your wealth can be for you and I^-saww do not distribute anything for you from the booty’.

فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارُ بَلْ نَقْسِمُ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا وَ نُؤْثِرُهُمْ بِالْغَنِيمَةِ وَ لَا نُشَارِكُهُمْ فِيهَا فَنَزَلَ‏ وَ يُؤْثِرُونَ عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

The Helpers said, ‘But you^-saww distribute for them from our wealth and prefer them with the booty (as well), and we shall not participate with them in it’. It was Revealed: and they are preferring (others) over their own selves, [59:9] – the Verse’’.[70]

6- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب شا، الإرشاد وَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى بَنِي النَّضِيرِ عَمَدَ عَلَى حِصَارِهِمْ فَضَرَبَ قُبَّةً فِي أَقْصَى بَنِي حَطْمَةَ مِنَ الْبَطْحَاءِ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ‏ اللَّيْلُ رَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ بِسَهْمٍ فَأَصَابَ الْقُبَّةَ

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub (and the book) ‘Al-Irshad’ – ‘And when Rasool-Allah^-saww headed to the clan of Al-Nazeer, he^-saww deliberated upon besieging them and struck a dome in the outskirts of the clan of Hatama from Al-Bat’ha. When the night came, a man from the clan of Al-Nazeer shot at him^-saww with an arrow, and it hit his^-saww canopy.

فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنْ تُحَوَّلَ قُبَّتُهُ‏ إِلَى السَّفْحِ وَ أَحَاطَ بِهَا الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ فَلَمَّا اخْتَلَطَ الظَّلَامُ فَقَدُوا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا نَرَى‏ عَلِيّاً فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ أَرَاهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَا يُصْلِحُ شَأْنَكُمْ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ بِرَأْسِ الْيَهُودِيِّ الَّذِي رَمَى النَّبِيَّ ص وَ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَزُورَا فَطَرَحَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ص

The Prophet^-saww instructed to transfer the canopy to the end and the Emigrants and the Helpers surrounded it. When the darkness came, the people missed Amir Al-Momineen^-asws. The people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! We do not see Ali^-asws’. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww see him^-asws (busy) regarding what corrects your affairs’. It was not long before he^-asws came with the head of the Jew who had shot at the Prophet^-saww, and he was called Azura. He^-asws dropped it in front of the Prophet^-saww.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذَا الْخَبِيثَ جَرِيّاً شُجَاعاً فَكَمَنْتُ لَهُ وَ قُلْتُ مَا أَجْرَأَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِذَا اخْتَلَطَ اللَّيْلُ‏ يَطْلُبُ مِنَّا غِرَّةً فَأَقْبَلَ مُصْلِتاً بِسَيْفِهِ فِي تِسْعَةِ نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَتَلْتُهُ فَأَفْلَتَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْرَحُوا قَرِيباً فَابْعَثْ مَعِي نَفَراً فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَظْفَرَ بِهِمْ‏

The Prophet^-saww said to him^-asws: ‘How did you^-asws do it?’ He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws saw this wicked one running away so I^-asws ambushed him, and I^-asws said (to myself^-asws): ‘Why is he running outside when the darkness has come? Does he want to surprise us?’ He came facing with his sword among nine persons from the Jews. I^-asws attacked him and killed him, and his companions fled and did not stop nearby. Send a number with me^-asws, for I^-asws hope that I^-asws can be victorious over them.

فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَعَهُ عَشَرَةً فِيهِمْ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ فَأَدْرَكُوهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَلِجُوا الْحِصْنَ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ وَ جَاءُوا بِرُءُوسِهِمْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُطْرَحَ فِي بَعْضِ آبَارِ بَنِي حَطْمَةَ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ سَبَبُ فَتْحِ حُصُونِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ قُتِلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ وَ اصْطَفَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمْوَالَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَ كَانَتْ أَوَّلُ صَافِيَةٍ

Rasool-Allah^-saww sent ten with him^-asws, among them being Abu Dujana Simak Bin Kharsha and Sahl Bin Huneyf, and they came across them before they had taken shelter in the fortress. They killed them and came with their heads to the Prophet^-saww, and he^-saww instructed for these to be thrown in one of the holes of the clan of Hatma, and that was the cause of the conquest of the fortress of the clan of Al Nazeer; and during that night Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf was killed and Rasool-Allah^-saww chose the wealth of the clan of Al-Nazeer, and it was the first payload.

قَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ أَمَرَ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَحَازَ مَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْهَا فَجَعَلَهُ صَدَقَةً وَ كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ مُدَّةَ حَيَاتِهِ ثُمَّ فِي يَدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بَعْدَهُ وَ هُوَ فِي وُلْدِ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ حَتَّى الْيَوْمَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww distributed it between the first Emigrants and instructed Ali^-asws, and he^-asws took possession from it what was for Rasool-Allah^-saww and made (rest of it) to be charity, and it was in his^-saww hands for the duration of his^-saww lifetime, then in the hands of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws after it, and it is in the children of Fatima^-asws until today.

وَ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي هَذِهِ الْغَزَاةِ وَ قَتْلِهِ الْيَهُودِيَّ وَ مَجِيئِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص بِرُءُوسِ التِّسْعَةِ النَّفَرِ يَقُولُ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ‏

لِلَّهِ أَيُّ كَرِيهَةٍ أَبْلَيْتُهَا		بِبَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ وَ النُّفُوسُ تُطْلِعُ‏
أَرْدَى رَئِيسَهُمْ وَ آبَ بِتِسْعَةٍ		طَوْراً يُشِلُّهُمْ وَ طَوْراً يَدْفَعُ‏

And among what happened from Amir Al-Momineen^-asws during this military expedition, and him^-asws killing the Jew, and his^-asws coming to the Prophet^-saww with the heads of the nine persons, Hassan Bin Sabit (a poet) prosed, ‘For the Sake of Allah^-azwj, which abhorrence the clan of Qureyza was Tried, and the souls emerged, and their chief responded and the father of nine, a phase that crippled them and a phase repelled (them)’’.[71]

باب 15 غزوة ذات الرقاع و غزوة عسفان‏

CHAPTER 15 – MILITARY EXPEDITION OF ZAT Al RIQA’A AND MILITARY EXPEDITION OF USFAN

الآيات النساء وَ إِذا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلاةَ إلى قوله النساء كِتاباً مَوْقُوتاً

The Verses – (Surah) Al Nisaa: And when you (O Rasool) are among them, so establish the Salat for them, [4:102] – up to His^-azwj Words of Surah Al Nisaa:  a timed Ordinance [4:103].

و ذكر أبو حمزة الثمالي في تفسيره‏ أن النبي ص غزا محاربا و بني أنمار فهزمهم الله و أحرزوا الذراري و الأموال فنزل رسول الله ص و المسلمون و لا يرون من العدو أحدا فوضعوا أسلحتهم و خرج رسول الله ص لبعض حاجته‏ و قد وضع سلاحه فجعل بينه و بين أصحابه الوادي

And Abu Hamza Al-Sumaly has mentioned in his Tafseer that the Prophet^-saww battled warriors and the clan of Anman and Allah^-azwj Defeated them, and they obtained the prisoners and the wealth. Rasool-Allah^-saww and the Muslims descended and did not see anyone from the enemies, so they laid down their weapons; and Rasool-Allah^-saww went out for one of his^-saww needs, and he^-saww had placed down his^-saww weapon, and he^-saww made the valley to be between him^-saww and his^-saww companions.

فأتى قبل أن يفرغ من حاجته السيل في الوادي‏ و السماء ترش فحال الوادي بين رسول الله ص و بين أصحابه و جلس في ظل سمرة فبصر به غورث بن الحارث المحاربي فقال له أصحابه يا غورث هذا محمد قد انقطع من أصحابه فقال قتلني الله إن لم أقتله و انحدر من الجبل و معه السيف

Before he^-saww was free from his^-saww need, the torrent came in the valley and the sky sprinkled (rain), and the valley formed a barrier between him^-saww and his^-saww companions, and he^-saww sat down in the shade of a tree. Gowras Bin Al-Haris Al-Maharby saw him, and his companions said to him, ‘O Gowras! This is Muhammad^-saww who has been cut off from his^-saww companions’. He said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Kill me if I do not kill him^-saww’, and he went down from the mountain and the sword was with him.

و لم يشعر به رسول الله ص إلا و هو قائم على رأسه و معه السيف قد سله من غمده و قال يا محمد من يعصمك مني الآن فقال رسول الله ص الله فانكب عدو الله لوجهه فقام رسول الله ص فأخذ سيفه و قال يا غورث من يمنعك مني الآن قال لا أحد

And Rasool-Allah^-saww was not aware of him except and he was standing by his^-saww head and with him was that sword, he had unsheathed it, and said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Who will protect you^-saww from me now?’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj’. The enemy of Allah^-azwj fell down upon his face, and Rasool-Allah^-azwj stood up and grabbed his sword and said: ‘O Gowras! Who will prevent you from me^-saww now?’ He said, ‘No one’.

قال أ تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أني عبد الله و رسوله قال لا و لكني أعهد أن لا أقاتلك أبدا و لا أعين عليك عدوا فأعطاه رسول الله ص سيفه فقال له غورث و الله لأنت خير مني قال ص إني أحق بذلك

He^-saww said, ‘Will you testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and I^-saww am a servant of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww?’ He said, ‘No, but I give you^-saww a pact that I will neither fight against you ever, nor will I assist an enemy against you^-saww’. Rasool-Allah^-saww gave his sword back to him. Gowras said to him^-saww, ‘By Allah^-azwj! You are better than I am’. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am more rightful with that’.

و خرج غورث إلى أصحابه فقالوا يا غورث لقد رأيناك قائما على رأسه‏ بالسيف فما منعك منه قال الله أهويت له بالسيف لأضربه فما أدري من زلخني بين كتفي فخررت لوجهي و خر سيفي و سبقني إليه محمد فأخذه و لم يلبث الوادي أن سكن فقطع رسول الله ص إلى أصحابه فأخبرهم الخبر و قرأ عليهم‏ إِنْ كانَ بِكُمْ أَذىً مِنْ مَطَرٍ الآية

And Gowras went out to his companions. They said, ‘O Gowras! We saw you standing upon his^-saww head with the sword, so what prevented you from him^-saww?’ He said, ‘Allah^-azwj. I had overcome upon him^-saww with the sword to strike him, and I don’t know who pushed me between my shoulders, and I fell down to my face, and my sword fell down and Muhammad^-saww preceded me to it and grabbed it’. And it was not long before the valley subsided and Rasool-Allah^-saww went to his^-saww companions and informed them of the news, and recited to them: if there was harm with you from rain [4:102] – the Verse.

1- عم، إعلام الورى‏ ‏ ثُمَّ كَانَتْ بَعْدَ غَزْوَةٍ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ غَزْوَةُ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ‏ وَ هِيَ الْغَزْوَةُ الَّتِي صَلَّى فِيهَا صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِعُسْفَانَ حِينَ أَتَاهُ الْخَبَرُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا هَمَّ بِهِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْغَزْوَةَ كَانَتْ بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ثُمَّ كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ بِشَهْرَيْنِ

‘Alam Al-Wara’ – Then after the military expedition of the clan of Al-Nazeer was the military expedition of the clan of Lahyan, and it is the military expedition in which he^-saww prayed Salat of the fear at Usfan when the news came to him^-saww from the sky with at the Polytheists had been thinking of, and it is said that this military expedition was after the military expedition of the clan of Qureyza, then was the military expedition of Zat Al-Riqa’a after the military expedition of the clan of Al-Nazeer, by two months.

قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ بَعْدَ خَيْبَرَ لَقِيَ بِهَا جَمْعاً مِنْ غَطَفَانَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمَا حَرْبٌ وَ قَدْ خَافَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً حَتَّى صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ بِالنَّاسِ‏ وَ قِيلَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ ذَاتَ الرِّقَاعِ لِأَنَّهُ جَبَلٌ فِيهِ بُقَعُ حُمْرَةٍ وَ سَوَادٍ وَ بَيَاضٍ فَسُمِّيَ ذَاتَ الرِّقَاعِ وَ قِيلَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ بِذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ أَقْدَامَهُمْ نَقِبَتْ فِيهَا فَكَانُوا يَلُفُّونَ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمُ الْخِرَقَ‏

Al-Bukhari said, ‘It (Zat Al-Riqa’a) happened after Khyber. A crowd from Gatfan met him^-saww at it, and no battle took place between them, and the people had feared each other to the extent that Rasool-Allah^-saww prayed the Salat of fear, then left with the people. And it is said, ‘But rather it is named at Zat Al-Riqa’a’ because it is a mountain wherein is a red and a black, and a white spot, so it is named at ‘Zat Al Riqa’a’ (With the patches). And it is said, ‘Rather it is named with that because their feet were injured therein. They had bandaged patches upon their legs’’.[72]

2- أَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ فِي الْكَامِلِ أَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ شَهْرَيْ رَبِيعٍ ثُمَّ غَزَا نَجْداً يُرِيدُ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ وَ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ مِنْ غَطَفَانَ وَ هِيَ غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ فَلَقِيَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قِتَالٌ وَ خَافَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً فَنَزَلَتْ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Al-Aseer said in (the book) ‘Al-Kamil’ – Rasool-Allah^-saww stood at Medina after the (military expedition of) clan of Al-Nazeer in the two months of Rabbi (Al-Awwal and Al-Akher), then went on a military expedition to Najd intending the clan of Muharib and the clan of Sa’alba from Gatfan, and it is the military expedition of Zat Al-Riqa’a. He^-saww met the polytheists and no killing took place, and the people feared each other. The Salat of fear was Revealed.

وَ أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ امْرَأَةً مِنْهُمْ وَ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا غَائِباً فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ أُخْبِرَ الْخَبَرَ فَحَلَفَ لَا يَنْتَهِي حَتَّى يُهَرِيقَ فِي أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَخَرَجَ يَتْبَعُ أَثَرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ فَانْتَدَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَقَامَا بِفَمِ شِعْبٍ نَزَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص

And the Muslims attained a woman from them, and her husband was absent. When the news came to her husband, he vowed that he would not end until he moved regarding the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww. He went out in the tracks of Rasool-Allah^-azwj. Rasool-Allah^-saww descended and said: ‘Who will guard us tonight?’ A man from the Emigrants and a man from the Helpers were delegated for it. They both stood at the entrance of the mountain pass where the Prophet^-saww had descended.

فَاضْطَجَعَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ وَ حَرَسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَ قَامَ يُصَلِّي وَ جَاءَ زَوْجُ الْمَرْأَةِ فَرَأَى شَخْصَهُ فَرَمَاهُ بِسَهْمٍ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ فَانْتَزَعَهُ وَ ثَبَتَ قَائِماً يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ رَمَاهُ بِسَهْمٍ آخَرَ فَأَصَابَهُ فَنَزَعَهُ وَ ثَبَتَ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ رَمَاهُ الثَّالِثَ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ فَانْتَزَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَ سَجَدَ

The Emigrant lay down, and the Helper guarded the beginning of the night, and he stood up to pray Salat, and the husband of the woman came and saw his person, and shot at him with an arrow and it was placed in him. He removed it and stood, praying salat. Then he shot at him with another arrow, and it hit him. He removed it and stood firm praying Salat. Then he shot at him the third and placed in him, and he removed it, then performed Ruku’u and Sajdah.

أَيْقَظَ صَاحِبَهُ وَ أَعْلَمَهُ فَوَثَبَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا الرَّجُلُ عَرَفَ أَنَّهُمَا عَلِمَا بِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ مَا بِالْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَ لَا أَيْقَظْتَنِي أَوَّلَ مَا رَمَاكَ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي سُورَةٍ أَقْرَؤُهَا فَلَمْ أُحِبَّ أَنْ أَقْطَعَهَا ثُمَّ فَلَمَّا تَتَابَعَ عَلَيَّ الرَّمْيُ وَ رَكَعْتُ أَعْلَمْتُكَ وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا خَوْفُ أَنْ أُضَيِّعَ ثَغْراً أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِحِفْظِهِ لَقَطَعَ نَفَسِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقْطَعَهَا وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْغَزْوَةَ كَانَتْ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ‏

Then his companion woke up and came to know it and leapt up. When the man saw them both, he recognised that they both knew him. When the Emigrant saw what was with the Helper, he said, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj! Why didn’t you wake me up at first what hit you?’ He said, ‘I was in a Surah I was reciting and did not like to cut it. Then when he followed up the arrow upon me and I performed Ruku’u, I let you know. And I swear By Allah^-azwj! Had it not been for fear of missing a gap, Rasool-Allah^-saww had instructed me to preserve it, I would have let my breath be cut off before I cut it’. And it is said that this military expedition was in Al-Muharram of the year five’’.[73]

3- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب غَزْوَةُ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى وَ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّمْيُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَ صَلَّى فِيهَا صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ بِعُسْفَانَ وَ يُقَالُ فِي ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مَعَ غَطَفَانَ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ النَّضِيرِ بِشَهْرَيْنِ وَ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ بَعْدَ خَيْبَرَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَرْبٌ‏

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – The military expedition of the clan of Lahyan was in Jumady Al-Awwal, and there took place the stone-throwing between them, and he^-saww prayed the Salat of fear during it at Usfan; and it is said in Zat Al-Riqa’a with Gatfan, and that was after Al-Nazeer by two months. And Al-Bukhary said, ‘After Khyber, and no war took place’’.[74]

4- أَقُولُ قَالَ الْكَازِرُونِيُّ فِي حَوَادِثِ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَ فِيهَا كَانَتْ غَزَاةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ وَ كَانَ سَبَبُهَا أَنَّ قَادِماً قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ بِجَلَبٍ‏ لَهُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّ أَنْمَاراً وَ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَهُمُ الْجُمُوعَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَخَرَجَ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ لِعَشْرٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ‏ فِي أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ وَ قِيلَ فِي سَبْعِمِائَةٍ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Kazruny said regarding the events of the fifth year – ‘And during it was the military expedition of Zat Al-Riqa’a, and its cause was that a walker walked to Al-Medina with merchandise of his. He informed the companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww that Anmar and Salbat had gathered a crowd to them. That reached Rasool-Allah^-saww, and he^-saww went out on Saturday night of the ten vacant from Al-Muharram among four hundred, and it is said among seven hundred.

فَمَضَى حَتَّى أَتَى مَحَالَّهُمْ بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ وَ هِيَ جَبَلٌ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا نِسْوَةً فَأَخَذَهُنَّ وَ فِيهِنَّ جَارِيَةٌ وَضِيئَةٌ وَ هَرَبَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ إِلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَ خَافَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَنْ يُغِيرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ص صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا صَلَّاهَا وَ انْصَرَفَ رَاجِعاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ

He^-saww went until he^-saww came to their neighbourhood at Zat Al Qiqa’a, and it is a mountain, but he^-saww did not find except women. He^-saww had them seized, and among them was a radiant girl, and the Bedouins fled to the top of the mountain, and the Muslims feared that they would surround them. The Prophet^-saww prayed the Salat of fear, and it was the first of what he^-saww had prayed it, and he^-saww left, returning to Al-Medina.

فَابْتَاعَ مِنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَمَلًا بِأُوقِيَّةٍ وَ شَرَطَ لَهُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ دِينِ أَبِيهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ إِذَا قَرُبْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَجُدَّ نَخْلَكَ فَآذِنِّي وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً وَ فِي التِّرْمِذِيِّ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً

And he^-saww had hired a camel from Jabir Bin Abdullah for an ounce (of gold or silver), and he^-saww had stipulated to him of its back to Al-Medina, and asked him about the debt of his father. He^-saww informed him and said, ‘When you are near Al-Medina and want to cut your palm tree, then permit me’. And Rasool-Allah^-saww sought Forgiveness (for Jabir) during that night, twenty-five times, and in Al Tirmizi, seventy times’.

وَ فِي مُسْلِمٍ‏ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَ تَبِيعُنِيهِ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ اللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَكَ فَمَا زَالَ يَزِيدُنِي وَ اللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَكَ

And in (Saheeh) Muslim, from a Hadeeth of Abu Nazra, from Jabir, who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Will you sell it to me for such and such (price), and Allah^-azwj will Forgive you?’ By Allah^-azwj he^-saww did not cease to increase me with ‘Allah^-azwj will Forgive you’’.[75]

5- وَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَثِيرِ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى بَنِي لِحْيَانَ يَطْلُبُ بِأَصْحَابِ الرَّجِيعِ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ أَظْهَرَ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ الشَّامَ لِيُصِيبَ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ غِرَّةً وَ أَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ عَلَى مَنَازِلِ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ‏ بَيْنَ أَثَحٍ‏ وَ عُسْفَانَ فَوَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ حَذِرُوا وَ تَمَنَّعُوا فِي رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ فَلَمَّا أَخْطَأَهُ مَا أَرَادَ مِنْهُمْ خَرَجَ فِي مِائَتَيْ رَاكِبٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ عُسْفَانَ تَخْوِيفاً لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسَيْنِ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ حَتَّى بَلَغَا كُرَاعَ الْغَمِيمِ ثُمَّ عَادَ

And Ibn al Aseer said – ‘In Jumady Al Awwal of the year six, Rasool-Allah^-saww went out to the clan of Lahyan seeking the return of Khubeyb Bin Aday and his companions, and manifested that he^-saww is intending to go to Syria in order to achieve the strength of surprise and hastened the travel until he^-saww descended at the houses of the clan of Lahyan between Asah and Usfan. He^-saww found them to have been cautious and went to the top of the mountain. When he^-saww could not get what he^-saww wanted from them, he^-saww went out among two hundred riders until he^-saww descended at Usfan to frighten the people of Makkah, and sent two horsemen from the companions until they reached Kura’a Al-Ghameem, then they returned’’.[76]

6- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ عَلَى شَفِيرِ وَادٍ فَأَقْبَلَ سَيْلٌ فَحَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَرَآهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قِيَامٌ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْوَادِي يَنْتَظِرُونَ مَتَى يَنْقَطِعُ السَّيْلُ

Al Kafi – Humeyd in Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ayoub and Alid from his father altogether from Al Bazanty, from Aban Bin usman, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww descended under a tree during the military expedition of Zat Al-Riqa’a on the edge of a valley. A torrent came and formed a barrier between him^-saww and his^-saww companions. A man from the Polytheists saw him^-saww and the Muslims were standing upon the edge of the valley looking on, when the torrent cut him^-saww off.

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَنَا أَقْتُلُ مُحَمَّداً فَجَاءَ وَ شَدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِالسَّيْفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يُنْجِيكَ مِنِّي يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ رَبِّي وَ رَبُّكَ

A man from the Polytheists said to his people, ‘I shall kill Muhammad^-saww’. He came and drew out the sword upon Rasool-Allah^-saww, then said, ‘Who will rescue you^-saww from me, O Muhammad^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘My^-saww Lord^-azwj and your Lord^-azwj’.

فَنَسَفَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ فَرَسِهِ فَسَقَطَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَ السَّيْفَ وَ جَلَسَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ قَالَ مَنْ يُنْجِيكَ مِنِّي يَا غَوْرَثُ فَقَالَ جُودُكَ وَ كَرَمُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَتَرَكَهُ وَ قَامَ‏ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَ أَكْرَمُ‏

Jibraeel^-saww pushed him from his horse and he fell down upon his back, and Rasool-Allah^-saww grabbed the sword and sat upon his chest and said: ‘Who will rescue you from me^-saww, O Gowras?’ He said, ‘Your^-saww generosity and your^-saww benevolence, O Muhammad^-saww’. And he stood up and he was saying, ‘By Allah^-azwj! You^-saww are better than I am’’.[77]

باب 16 غزوة بدر الصغرى و سائر ما جرى في تلك السنة إلى غزوة الخندق‏

CHAPTER 16 – MILITARY EXPEDITION OF BADR AL-SUGRA, AND THE REST OF WHAT TRANSPIRED DURING THAT YEAR UP TO THE BATTLE OF AL KHANDAQ

الآيات النساء فَقاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ وَ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُفَّ بَأْسَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ اللَّهُ أَشَدُّ بَأْساً وَ أَشَدُّ تَنْكِيلًا

The Verses – (Surah) Al Nisaa: So fight in the Way of Allah; it is not encumbered except on yourself, and encourage the Momineen, perhaps Allah would Restrain the evil of those committing Kufr, and Allah is strongest in Prowess and severe of Punishment [4:84]

و قال تعالى النساء وَ لا تَهِنُوا فِي ابْتِغاءِ الْقَوْمِ إِنْ تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَما تَأْلَمُونَ وَ تَرْجُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ ما لا يَرْجُونَ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً

And the Exalted Said (Surah) Al Nisaa: And do not slacken in pursuing the people (enemy); if you are in pain, so they are (also) in pain just as you are in pain; and you are hoping from Allah what they are not hoping for; and Allah was always most-Knowing, Wise [4:104].

قال الطبرسي رحمه الله‏ في قوله تعالى‏ فَقاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏ قال الكلبي إن أبا سفيان لما رجع إلى مكة يوم أحد و أعد رسول الله ص موسم بدر الصغرى و هي سوق يقوم في ذي القعدة فلما بلغ الميعاد قال للناس اخرجوا إلى الميعاد فتثاقلوا و كرهوا ذلك كراهة شديدة أو بعضهم فأنزل الله عز و جل‏هذه الآية

Al-Tabarsy said regarding the Words of the Exalted: So fight in the Way of Allah; [4:84], ‘Al-Kalby said, ‘When Abu Sufyan returned to Makkah on the day of Ohad and Rasool-Allah^-saww prepared for the season of Badr Al-Sugra, and it is a market established during Zil-Qadah. When he^-saww reached the appointed place, he^-saww said to the people: ‘Go out to the appointed place!’ But they were slow and disliked that, abhorring the difficulties, or some of them did. Allah^-azwj Revealed the Verse.

فحرض النبي ص المؤمنين فتثاقلوا عنه و لم يخرجوا فخرج رسول الله ص في سبعين‏ راكبا حتى أتى موسم بدر فكفاهم الله بأس العدو و لم يوافهم أبو سفيان و لم يكن قتال يومئذ و انصرف رسول الله ص بمن معه سالمين

The Prophet^-saww instigated the Momineen, but they were sluggish from him^-saww and did not come out. Rasool-Allah^-saww went out among seventy riders until he^-saww came to the season of Badr. Allah^-azwj Sufficed them from the problems of the enemy and Abu Sufyan did not meet them, and no fighting took place on that day, and Rasool-Allah^-saww left with the ones who were with him^-saww, safely’.

1- عم، إعلام الورى ثُمَّ كَانَتْ بَعْدَ غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ غَزْوَةُ بَدْرٍ الْأَخِيرَةُ فِي شَعْبَانَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى بَدْرٍ لِمِيعَادِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَأَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا ثَمَانَ لَيَالٍ وَ خَرَجَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فِي أَهْلِ تِهَامَةَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الظَّهْرَانَ بَدَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ وَ وَافَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ السُّوقَ فَاشْتَرَوْا وَ بَاعُوا وَ أَصَابُوا بِهَا رِبْحاً حَسَناً

‘Alam Al-Wara’ – Then, after the military expedition of Zat Al-Riqa’a was the military expedition of Badr, the latter during Shaban. Rasool-Allah^-saww went out to Badr for the appointment with Abu Sufyan and stayed at it for eight nights, and Abu Sufyan went out among the people of Tahama. When he descended at Al-Zahran, there was a change of mind for him regarding the return, and Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww companions came to the market and bought and sold and achieved a good profit at it’’.[78]

2 – أقول قال في المنتقى في سياق حوادث السنة الرابعة و فيها ولد الحسين عليه السلام لثلاث ليال خلون من شعبان و فيها كانت غزوة بدر الصغرى لهلال ذي القعدة و ذلك‏ أن أبا سفيان لما أراد أن ينصرف يوم أحد نادى الموعد بيننا و بينكم بدر الصغرى رأس الحول نلتقي بها و نقتتل فقال رسول الله ص قولوا نعم إن شاء الله فافترق الناس على ذلك

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘He said in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’ regarding the context of the events of the year four, and during it is the birth of Al-Husayn^-asws in three nights vacant from Shaban, and during it was the military expedition of Badr Al-Sugra at the crescent of Zilqadah, and that is when Abu Sufyan intended to leave on the Day of Ohad, he called out: ‘The appointment between us and you is Badr Al-Sugra at the beginning of the years. We shall meet at it and fight!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Say, ‘Yes, if Allah^-azwj so Desires’. And the people dispersed upon that.

و تهيأت قريش للخروج فلما دنا الموعد كره‏ أبو سفيان الخروج و قدم نعيم بن مسعود الأشجعي مكة فقال له أبو سفيان إني قد واعدت محمدا و أصحابه أن نلتقي ببدر و قد جاء ذلك الوقت و هذا عام جدب و إنما يصلحنا عام خصب و أكره أن يخرج محمد و لا أخرج فيجترئ علينا فنجعل لك فريضة يضمنها لك سهيل بن عمرو على أن تقدم المدينة و تعوقهم عن الخروج

And Quraysh prepared for the going out. When the appointment date approached, Abu Sufyan disliked the going out and Nueym bin Masoud Al Ashjaie to Makkah arrived at Makkah. Abu Sufyan said to him, ‘I have promised Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww companions that we shall meet at Badr and that time has come, and this year is difficult and rather the fetile year would suit us, and I dislike it that Muhammad^-saww would come out and I do not go out, so he^-saww would be emboldened upon us. We shall make twenty portions to be for you, guaranteed for you by Suhayl Bin Amro upon that you will go to Al-Medina and hinder them from the going out’.

فقدم المدينة و أخبرهم بجمع أبي سفيان و ما معه من العدة و السلاح فقال رسول الله ص و الذي نفسي بيده لأخرجن و إن لم يخرج معي أحد و استخلف على المدينة عبد الله بن رواحة و حمل لواءه علي عليه السلام و سار معه ألف و خمسمائة و الخيل عشرة أفراس و خرجوا ببضائع لهم و تجارات

He arrived at Al-Medina and informed them with the gathering of Abu Sufyan and what was with him from the number (of soldiers) and the weapons. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘By the One^-azwj in Whose Hand is my^-saww soul! I^-saww will go out and even if no one comes out with me^-saww’. And he^-saww left behind Abdullah Bin Rawha in charge upon Al-Medina, and Ali^-asws carried his^-saww flag, and one thousand the five hundred travelled with him^-saww, and the cavalry was of ten horsemen, and they went out with merchandise of theirs and tradeable goods.

و كانت بدر الصغرى مجتمعا تجتمع فيه العرب و سوقا يقوم لهلال ذي القعدة إلى ثمان تخلو منه ثم تتفرق الناس إلى بلادهم فانتهوا إلى بدر ليلة هلال ذي القعدة و قامت السوق صبيحة الهلال فأقاموا بها ثمانية أيام و باعوا تجارتهم فربحوا للدرهم درهما و انصرفوا

And Badr Al-Sugra used to be (an annual) gathering wherein the Arabs would gather and establish a market at the crescent of Zil Qadah to the eighth vacant from it, then the people would disperse to their cities. They ended up at Badr on the night of the crescent of Zil Qadah and established the market in the morning of the crescent, and they stayed at it for eight days, and sold their merchandise and profited for the Dirham by two Dirhams, and they left.

و قد سمع الناس بمسيرهم و خرج أبو سفيان من مكة في قريش و هم ألفان و معه خمسون فرسا حتى انتهوا إلى مر الظهران ثم قال ارجعوا فإنه لا يصلحنا إلا عام خصب يرعى فيه الشجر و يشرب فيه اللبن و هذا عام جدب فسمى أهل مكة ذلك الجيش جيش السويق يقولون خرجوا يشربون السويق

And the people had heard of their journey and Abu Sufyan came out from Makkah among Quraysh, and they were two thousand and with him were fifty horsemen, until they ended up at Mar Al-Zahran, then he said, ‘It is not correct for us except a fertile year wherein the trees are seen, and the milk is drunk, and this year is a dry year’. The people of Makkah named that army as ‘Army of the Al Suweyq’. They went out drinking Al-Suweyq’.

رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ جَاءَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَدِيثاً أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَا يُصَابُ أَحَدٌ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَيَسْتَرْجِعُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي هَذِهِ اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْنِي فِيهَا خَيْراً مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

It is reported that Abu Salama came to Umm Salma^-ra and said, ‘I have heard Rasool-Allah^-saww narrating a Hadeeth which is more beloved to me than such and such, and such and such. I heard him^-saww saying: ‘No one who is afflicted with any difficult would say, ‘We are for Allah^-azwj to Him^-azwj we are returning’, during that, and says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! With You^-azwj I reckon this difficulty of mine. O Allah^-azwj! Replace for me regarding it, better than it’, except Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Grant him (that)’.

قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَلَمَّا أُصِبْتُ بِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي وَ لَمْ تَطِبْ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْنِي فِيهَا خَيْراً مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قُلْتُ مَنْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَ لَيْسَ أَ لَيْسَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ

Umm Salma^-ra said, ‘When I^-ra was afflicted with Abu Salma, I^-ra said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! With You^-azwj I^-ra reckon my^-ra difficulty’, and I^-ra did not make myself^-ra good to say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Replace for me regarding it better than it’. Then I^-ra said: ‘Who is better than Abu Salma? Is he not? Is he not?’ Then I^-ra said that’.

فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُهَا فَأَبَتْ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا عُمَرُ يَخْطُبُهَا فَأَبَتْ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ مَرْحَباً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
