حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاوَرَ حَيْثُ بَلَغَهُ إِقْبَالُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عُمَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ: إِيَّانَا يُرِيدُ رَسُولُ اللهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نُخِيضَهَا الْبِحَارَ لَأَخَضْنَاهَا، وَلَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ أَكْبَادَهَا إِلَى بِرْكِ الْغِمَادِ لَفَعَلْنَا - قَالَ عَفَّانُ: قَالَ، ، سُلَيْمَانُ: (١) عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ: الغْمَادِ (٢) - فَنَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ، فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بَدْرًا، وَوَرَدَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ رَوَايَا قُرَيْشٍ، وَفِيهِمْ غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ لِبَنِي الْحَجَّاجِ، فَأَخَذُوهُ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا لِي عِلْمٌ بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَلَكِنْ هَذَا أَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَعُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، وَشَيْبَةُ، وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَاكَ ضَرَبُوهُ، فَإِذَا ضَرَبُوهُ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَنَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ، هَذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَإِذَا تَرَكُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ قَالَ: مَا لِي بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ عِلْمٌ، وَلَكِنْ هَذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ، وَعُتْبَةُ، وَشَيْبَةُ، وَأُمَيَّةُ فِي النَّاسِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا قَالَ هَذَا أَيْضًا ضَرَبُوهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّكُمْ لَتَضْرِبُونَهُ إِذَا صَدَقَكُمْ، (٣) وَتَتْرُكُونَهُ إِذَا كَذَبَكُمْ "، قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا " يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا، فَمَا أَمَاطَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٤)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. In response, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Then, when he asked for advice again, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent. The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Perhaps you mean us?" Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you command us, we will plunge into the seas, and if you command us, we will go to Bark al-Ghamad, driving our camels. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the matter is in your hands." The Prophet (ﷺ) then prepared his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and set out, and camped at Badr. Some spies of the Quraysh came, among them was a black slave of Banu Hajjaj. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) captured him and asked him about Abu Sufyan and his companions. He said, "I do not know about Abu Sufyan, but the Quraysh, Abu Jahl, and Umayyah bin Khalaf have arrived." When they beat him, he started telling them about Abu Sufyan, and when they let him go, he said, "What do I know about Abu Sufyan? But the Quraysh have arrived." At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When he tells you the truth, you beat him, and when he lies, you let him go." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed with his hand and said, "InshaAllah, tomorrow so-and-so will fall here, and so-and-so will fall here." Thus, when the confrontation took place, Allah defeated the polytheists, and by Allah, not a single man was displaced from the place the Prophet (ﷺ) had indicated.
