Chapter 9: Superiority of those who fought the battle of Badr - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Anas:
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ أُصِيبَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَهْوَ غُلاَمٌ، فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ عَرَفْتَ مَنْزِلَةَ حَارِثَةَ مِنِّي، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَصْبِرْ وَأَحْتَسِبْ، وَإِنْ تَكُ الأُخْرَى تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ
" وَيْحَكِ أَوَهَبِلْتِ أَوَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ فِي جَنَّةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ ".
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus."

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُصَيْنَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا مَرْثَدٍ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَكُلُّنَا فَارِسٌ قَالَ " انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ". فَأَدْرَكْنَاهَا تَسِيرُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَهَا حَيْثُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْنَا الْكِتَابُ. فَقَالَتْ مَا مَعَنَا كِتَابٌ. فَأَنَخْنَاهَا فَالْتَمَسْنَا فَلَمْ نَرَ كِتَابًا، فَقُلْنَا مَا كَذَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُجَرِّدَنَّكِ. فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الْجِدَّ أَهْوَتْ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهَا وَهْىَ مُحْتَجِزَةٌ بِكِسَاءٍ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ خَانَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَدَعْنِي فَلأَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ". قَالَ حَاطِبٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا بِي أَنْ لاَ أَكُونَ مُؤْمِنًا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَ الْقَوْمِ يَدٌ يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلاَّ لَهُ هُنَاكَ مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ مَنْ يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " صَدَقَ، وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لَهُ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا ". فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ خَانَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَدَعْنِي فَلأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ. فَقَالَ " أَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ". فَقَالَ " لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ، أَوْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ ". فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَا عُمَرَ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said, "Go
till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'
a to the pagans of Mecca." So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had
mentioned. We said (to her),"(Give us) the letter." She said, "I have no letter." Then we made her
camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not
told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked." When she saw that we
were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her waist,
and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Then `Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!" The
Prophet asked Hatib, "What made you do this?" Hatib said, "By Allah, I did not intend to give up my
belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so that
through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but has
some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good." `Umar said, "He as betrayed Allah, His Apostle
and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is he not one of the Badr
warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, as I have granted
Paradise to you, or said, 'I have forgiven you."' On this, tears came out of `Umar's eyes, and he said,
"Allah and His Apostle know better."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin `Azib:
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الرُّمَاةِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنَّا سَبْعِينَ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَصَابُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَةً سَبْعِينَ أَسِيرًا وَسَبْعِينَ قَتِيلاً. قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ، وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ.
On the day of Uhud the Prophet (ﷺ) appointed `Abdullah bin Jubair as chief of the archers, and seventy
among us were injured and martyred. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his
companions had inflicted 140 casualties on the pagans, 70 were taken prisoners, and 70 were killed.
Abu Sufyan said, "This is a day of (revenge) for the day of Badr and the issue of war is undecided ."
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The good is what Allah gave us later on (after Uhud), and the reward of
truthfulness is what Allah gave us after the day (of the battle) of Badr."
While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle) of Badr, suddenly I looked behind and
saw on my right and left two young boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then one of
them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, "O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl." I said, "O
nephew! What will you do to him?" He said, "I have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e. Abu Jahl), I
will either kill him or be killed before I kill him." Then the other said the same to me secretly so that
his companion should not hear. I would not have been pleased to be in between two other men instead
of them. Then I pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out to them. Both of them attacked him like two hawks till
they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of 'Afra' (i.e. an Ansari woman).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent out ten spies under the command of `Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father
of `Asim bin `Umar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and
Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent
about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found
the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates
are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When `Asim and his
companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them
and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not
kill anyone of you." `Asim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be
under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their
arrows at them and martyred `Asim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting
their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the
archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them.
The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow
the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled
with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them
and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle.
The sons of Al-Harit bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their
father) Al-Hari bin `Amr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till
they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a
razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little
son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the
razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you
afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she
said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating
from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was
no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with."
When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them.
"Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rak`at and then said,
"By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more."
Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not
leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I
receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the
cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was
Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is
executed). The Prophet (ﷺ) told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same
day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of `Asim bin Thabit's death, sent some
messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had
previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to
protect the dead body of `Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut
anything from his body.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ ذُكِرَ لَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ ـ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا ـ مَرِضَ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ فَرَكِبَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ وَاقْتَرَبَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ، وَتَرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ
Ibn 'Umar was once told that Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, one of
the Badr warriors, had fallen ill on a Friday. Ibn 'Umar rode to him
late in the forenoon. The time of the Friday prayer approached and Ibn
'Umar did not take part in the Friday prayer.
That she was married to Sad bin Khaula
who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one of those who
fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during
Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When
she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared
herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man from the tribe
of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you
dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry
By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days
have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subai'a in her narration
said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my
dress in the evening and went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him about
this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had
already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished."

Rifa`a was one of the warriors of Badr while (his father) Rafi` was one of the people of Al-`Aqaba
(i.e. those who gave the pledge of allegiance at Al-`Aqaba). Rafi` used to say to his son, "I would not
have been happier if I had taken part in the Badr battle instead of taking part in the 'Aqaba pledge."

Abu Sa`id bin Malik Al-Khudri returned from a journey and his family offered him some meat of
sacrifices offered at `Id ul Adha. On that he said, "I will not eat it before asking (whether it is
allowed)." He went to his maternal brother, Qatada bin N i 'man, who was one of the Badr warriors,
and asked him about it. Qatada said, "After your departure, an order was issued by the Prophet (ﷺ)
cancelling the prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days."
Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Sa`id bin Al-As on the day (of the battle) of Badr and he was
covered with armor; so much that only his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish.
He said (proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear and pierced his eye and he died.
I put my foot over his body to pull (that spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it
out as its both ends were bent." `Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Az-Zubair for the spear
and he gave it to him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr
demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back. `Umar then
demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then
`Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Uthman was martyred, the spear
remained with `Ali's offspring. Then `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with
him till he was martyred.

Apostle adopted Salim as his son and married his niece Hind bint Al-Wahd bin `Utba to him' and
Salim was a freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also adopted Zaid as his son. In the Prelslamic
period of ignorance the custom was that, if one adopted a son, the people would call him by
the name of the adopted-father whom he would inherit as well, till Allah revealed: "Call them
(adopted sons) By (the names of) their fathers." (33.5)

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ،. حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ
" لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ ". يُرِيدُ التَّمَاثِيلَ الَّتِي فِيهَا الأَرْوَاحُ.
Abu Talha, a companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of those who fought at Badr together with Allah's
Apostle told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a
picture" He meant the images of creatures that have souls.

Narrated `Ali:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ،. حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ـ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْطَانِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ بِنْتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلاً صَوَّاغًا فِي بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي فَنَأْتِيَ بِإِذْخِرٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ فَنَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِي، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ لِشَارِفَىَّ مِنَ الأَقْتَابِ وَالْغَرَائِرِ وَالْحِبَالِ، وَشَارِفَاىَ مُنَاخَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مَا جَمَعْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِشَارِفَىَّ قَدْ أُجِبَّتْ أَسْنِمَتُهَا، وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصِرُهُمَا، وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا، فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَىَّ حِينَ رَأَيْتُ الْمَنْظَرَ، قُلْتُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا قَالُوا فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَهْوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ، فِي شَرْبٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، عِنْدَهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَتْ فِي غِنَائِهَا أَلاَ يَا حَمْزَ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ، فَوَثَبَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، وَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَقَالَ
" مَا لَكَ ". قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ، عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتَىَّ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا وَهَا هُوَ ذَا فِي بَيْتٍ مَعَهُ شَرْبٌ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرِدَائِهِ، فَارْتَدَى ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَطَفِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ، فَإِذَا حَمْزَةُ ثَمِلٌ مُحْمَرَّةٌ عَيْنَاهُ، فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَّدَ النَّظَرَ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلاَّ عَبِيدٌ لأَبِي فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ثَمِلٌ، فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ الْقَهْقَرَى، فَخَرَجَ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ.
I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had
given me another she camel from the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I
intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, I made an arrangement with
a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass used
by gold-smiths) which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price on the marriage
banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were
kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that
the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of
their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping.
I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib has done it. He
is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her
song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the
camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the
Prophet, with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed my state and asked, "What is
the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked
my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house
along some drinkers." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin
Haritha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and
he was permitted. The Prophet (ﷺ) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and
his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his
eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet (ﷺ)
understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

Chapter 12: Chapter - كتاب المغازى
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا تُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. قَالَ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِي. فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، فَقَالَ قَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ لاَ أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا. قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. فَصَمَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا، فَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْجَدَ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَىَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَىَّ حَفْصَةَ فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ ذَكَرَهَا، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَقَبِلْتُهَا.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin
Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."
