( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْحُرْفِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثَنَا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُمَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ:
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ بَدْرٍ، قَالَ: مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَسْرَى ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - ؓ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، بَنُو الْعَمِّ وَالْعَشِيرَةُ وَالْإِخْوَانُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ لِيَكُونَ لَنَا قُوَّةً عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَعَسَى اللهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَيَكُونُوا لَنَا عَضُدًا. قَالَ: فَمَاذَا تَرَى يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، مَا أَرَى الَّذِي رَأَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَئِمَّةُ الْكُفْرِ وَصَنَادِيدُهُمْ، فَقَرِّبْهُمْ فَاضْرِبْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَهَوِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - ؓ، وَلَمْ يَهْوَ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُمُ الْفِدَاءَ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ، غَدَوْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ قَاعِدَانِ يَبْكِيَانِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ

When morning came, I went early to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and there he and Abū Bakr ؓ were sitting, weeping. I said: "O Prophet of God
