حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَجْلَحُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ
ضَرَبَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْثَالًا؛ وَاحِدٌ، وَثَلَاثَةٌ، وَخَمْسَةٌ، وَسَبْعَةٌ، وَتِسْعَةٌ، وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ. قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا مَثَلًا، وَتَرَكَ سَائِرَهَا. قَالَ: إِنَّ قَوْمًا كَانُوا أَهْلَ ضَعْفٍ وَمَسْكَنَةٍ قَاتَلَهُمْ أَهْلُ تَجَبُّرٍ وَعَدَدٍ، فَأَظْهَرَ اللهُ أَهْلَ الضَّعْفِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَاسْتَعْمَلُوهُمْ وَسَلَّطُوهُمْ، فَأَسْخَطُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ struck parables for us: one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven. He said: He struck one of them as a parable for us and left the rest. He said: "A people who were weak and poor were fought by a people of tyranny and large numbers, so God made the weak prevail over them. Then they turned to their enemy and employed them and gave them authority, so they incurred God's wrath upon themselves until the day they meet Him."
