حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، وَعَفَّانُ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي دِرْعٍ حَصِينَةٍ، وَرَأَيْتُ بَقَرًا مُنَحَّرَةً، فَأَوَّلْتُ أَنَّ الدِّرْعَ الْحَصِينَةَ الْمَدِينَةُ، وَأَنَّ الْبَقَرَ نَفَرٌ، وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ "، (٢) قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: " لَوْ أَنَّا أَقَمْنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْنَا فِيهَا قَاتَلْنَاهُمْ "، فَقَالَوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ مَا دُخِلَ عَلَيْنَا فِيهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَكَيْفَ يُدْخَلُ عَلَيْنَا فِيهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ؟ - قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَقَالَ: " شَأْنَكُمْ إِذًا " - قَالَ: فَلَبِسَ لَأْمَتَهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ: رَدَدْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْيَهُ، فَجَاءُوا،، ، فَقَالَوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، شَأْنَكَ إِذًا، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِنَبِيٍّ إِذَا لَبِسَ لَأْمَتَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَهَا حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) once said: Today I saw in a dream as if I was in a secure coat of mail. I saw a cow that was slaughtered. I interpreted this as the secure coat of mail meaning Madinah, and the cow, by Allah, as goodness. Then the Companions said: If we remain in Madinah and they come to us, we will fight them. And they said: O Messenger of Allah! In the time of ignorance, our enemy was never able to enter Madinah, so how can they enter it in Islam? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: As you wish. And saying this, he put on his armor. Seeing this, the Ansar said: It does not befit any Prophet (ﷺ) that after putting on his armor, he should take it off until he has fought.
