English

[4621] 83 – (1779) It was t1. (vv)—M ['] narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah consulted (his Companions) when news reached him that Abü Sufyân was advancing. Abü Bakr spoke, but JJL J J he paid him no heed, then 'Umar spoke but he paid him no heed. Then Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah stood up and said: Do you want us to speak, O Messenger of Allah? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you tell us to plunge our horses into the sea, we will do so, and if you tell us to make our horses go as far as Bark Al-Ghimâd, we will do so. The Messenger of Allah encouraged the people, then they set out, and camped in Badr. Soon the water carriers of Quraish arrived, among whom was a black slave belonging to Banü Al-Uajjâj. They caught him, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah questioned him about Abü Sufyân and his Companions, but he said: I do not know about Abü Sufyân, but Abü Jahl, 'Utbah, Shaibah and Umayyah bin Khalaf are there. When he said that, they beat him, and he said: Yes, I will tell you about Abü Sufyân. But when they stopped beating him and they questioned him, he said: I do not know about Abü Sufyân, but Abü Jahl, 'Utbah, Shaibah and Umayyah bin Khalaf are among the people. When he said that again, they beat him again. The Messenger of Allah was standing and praying, but when he saw that he stopped, and said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you beat him when he tells you the truth and you stop when he lies to you." And the Messenger of Allah said: "This is the place where so- and-so will fall," placing his hand on the ground here and there. And none of them fell anywhere but in the places where the Messenger of Allah had put his hand on the ground. Chapter 31. The Conquest Of (s & 410 – (r Makkah (rr ii I)
