حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: " قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِليَهُودِ: أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَقَالُوا: سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ، فَسَأَلُوهُ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا}، ، [الإسراء: ٨٥] ، قَالُوا: أُوتِينَا عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا، أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ، وَمَنْ أُوتِيَ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا "، قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ} [الكهف: ١٠٩] (١)،
Translation
English translation
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent an army to Mu'tah and he appointed Zaid in charge of it.
If Zaid was killed, Ja'far [was to assume command]. If Ja'far was killed, Ibn Rawahah [was to assume command]. Ibn Rawahah stayed behind and prayed Jumu'ah with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who saw him and said, “What kept you behind?” He said: I wanted to pray Jumu’ah with you. He said: "To go out in the morning (to fight, for the sake of Allah) and come back in the evening is better than this world and everything in it.”
