حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى هَمَسَ شَيْئًا لَا أَفْهَمُهُ وَلَا يُخْبِرُنَا بِهِ، قَالَ: " أَفَطِنْتُمْ لِي؟ " قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أُعْطِيَ جُنُودًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يُكَافِئُ هَؤُلَاءِ، أَوْ مَنْ يَقُومُ لِهَؤُلَاءِ؟ أَوْ غَيْرَهَا مِنَ الْكَلَامِ، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ: أَنْ اخْتَرْ لِقَوْمِكَ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ نُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ، أَوِ الْجُوعَ، أَوِ الْمَوْتَ، فَاسْتَشَارَ قَوْمَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالُوا: أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ، نَكِلُّ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ، خِرْ لَنَا، فَقَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، وَكَانُوا إِذَا فَزِعُوا، فَزِعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَصَلَّى مَا شَاءَ اللهُ "، قَالَ: " ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَمَّا عَدُوٌّ مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَلَا، أَوِ الْجُوعُ فَلَا، وَلَكِنِ الْمَوْتُ فَسُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَوْتُ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا، فَهَمْسِي الَّذِي تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ بِكَ أُقَاتِلُ، وَبِكَ أُصَاوِلُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, the lips of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) kept moving; never before had he done this. Later, he said that among the previous nations there was a prophet who became content and pleased with the number of his followers, and from his mouth came the sentence: "These people can never be defeated." Allah Almighty then sent revelation to him and gave him the choice of one of three things: either I will impose an enemy upon them who will shed their blood, or I will impose hunger upon them, or death? He said: "We do not have the strength for killing and hunger, but let death be imposed upon us." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "In just three days, seventy thousand of their people died." Therefore, now I say: "O Allah! I seek strategy only with Your help, I attack only with Your help, and I fight only with Your help."
