حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْخَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَيْشَ الْأُمَرَاءِ، وَقَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ فَجَعْفَرٌ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَوَثَبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَأُمِّي، مَا كُنْتُ أَرْهَبُ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَيَّ زَيْدًا. قَالَ: امْضُوا، فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ الْجَيْشُ فَلَبِثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُنَادَى: الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: نَابَ خَبْرٌ - أَوْ: ثَابَ خَبْرٌ، شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي؟ إِنَّهُمُ انْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى لَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ، فَأُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ شَهِيدًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ النَّاسُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا، أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأَثْبَتَ قَدَمَيْهِ حَتَّى أُصِيبَ شَهِيدًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ، هُوَ أَمَّرَ نَفْسَهُ، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُصْبُعَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِكَ فَانْصُرْهُ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَرَّةً: فَانْتَصِرْ بِهِ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ سُمِّيَ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: انْفِرُوا فَأَمِدُّوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ، وَلَا يَتَخَلَّفَنَّ أَحَدٌ، فَنَفَرَ النَّاسُ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ مُشَاةً وَرُكْبَانًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out the army of commanders and said: 'Let Zayd b. Harithah be your commander. If Zayd is struck down, then Ja'far. If Ja'far is struck down, then Abdullah b. Rawahah al-Ansari.' Ja'far leapt up and said: 'May my father and mother be your ransom, O Prophet of Allah, I never feared that you would appoint Zayd over me.' He said: 'Go forth, for you do not know which of these is best.' The army set out and remained as long as Allah willed. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and ordered it to be announced: 'The prayer is to be gathered.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'News has come' – or 'news has returned'; Abd al-Rahman was unsure. 'Shall I not inform you about this army of yours that has gone out? They set out until they met the enemy. Zayd was struck down as a martyr, so seek forgiveness for him.' The people sought forgiveness for him. 'Then Ja'far b. Abi Talib took the banner and charged the people until he was killed as a martyr. I bear witness for him to martyrdom, so seek forgiveness for him.' Then Abdullah b. Rawahah took the banner and stood firm until he was struck down as a martyr, so seek forgiveness for him. Then Khalid b. al-Walid took the banner, though he was not one of the commanders; he appointed himself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his two fingers and said: 'O Allah, he is a sword of Your swords, so aid him.' Abd al-Rahman once said: 'So gain victory through him.' On that day Khalid was named the Sword of Allah. Then the Prophet ﷺ said: 'March out and reinforce your brothers, and let no one stay behind.' The people marched out in intense heat, on foot and mounted.
