حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: نَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: نَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ اجْتَوَيْنَاهَا وَأَصَابَنَا فِيهَا وَعْكٌ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَخَبَّرُ عَنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَزَلُوا بَدْرًا، وَهِيَ بِئْرٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا الزُّبَيْرُ، وَالْآخَرُ يَرَى أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ، فَأَصَابُوا رَجُلَيْنِ: رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَمَوْلًى لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَانْفَلَتَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، وَجَاءُوا بِالْمَوْلَى، فَجَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: كَمِ الْقَوْمُ ؟ أَوْ كَمْ هُمْ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: هُمْ وَاللهِ كَثِيرٌ عَدَدُهُمْ، شَدِيدٌ بَأْسُهُمْ، حَتَّى أَتَوْا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: كَمْ يَنْحَرُ الْقَوْمُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ: عَشْرَ جَزَايِرَ، قَالَ: جَزُورٌ لِمِائَةٍ، الْقَوْمُ أَلْفٌ، قَالَ: فَأَصَابَنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ طَشٌّ، فَتَفَرَّقْنَا تَحْتَ الشَّجَرِ الْحَجَفِ، وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَتَهِ يَدْعُو، وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تُهْلِكْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ لَا تُعْبَدُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ، قَالَ: الصَّلَاةَ عِبَادَ اللهِ، فَأَقْبَلْنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ الشَّجَرِ وَالْحَجَفِ، فَحَثَّ أَوْ حَضَّ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ، وَقَالَ: " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى صَرْعَاهُمْ "، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا دَنَا الْقَوْمُ إِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يَسِيرُ فِي الْقَوْمِ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلزُّبَيْرِ: نَادِ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِكَ فَسَلْهُ: مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ ؟ فَإِنْ يَكُ فِي الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ يَأْمُرُكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ، يَسْأَلُ الزُّبَيْرُ: مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ ؟ قَالُوا: عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَهُوَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْقِتَالِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا قَوْمِ، إِنِّي أَرَى قَوْمًا مُسْتَمِيتِينَ، وَاللهِ مَا أَظُنُّ أَنْ تَصِلُوا إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى تُهْلَكُوا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَبَا جَهْلٍ مَا يَقُولُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مُلِئَتْ رِئَتُكَ رُعْبًا حَتَّى رَأَيْتَ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُتْبَةُ: إِيَّايَ تُعَيِّرُ يَا مُصَفِّرَ اسْتِهِ، سَتَعْلَمُ أَيُّنَا أَجْبَنُ، فَنَزَلَ عُتْبَةُ عَنْ جَمَلِهِ، وَاتَّبَعَهُ أَخُوهُ شَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُهُ الْوَلِيدُ، فَدَعَوْا لِلْبِرَازِ فَابْتَدَرَتْهُ شَبَابٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَنْتُمْ ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيكُمْ، إِنَّمَا أَرَدْنَا بَنِي عَمِّنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " قُمْ يَا حَمْزَةُ، قُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ، قُمْ يَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ "، قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى عُتْبَةَ، وَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى شَيْبَةَ، وَأَقْبَلَ عُبَيْدَةُ إِلَى الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ حَمْزَةُ صَاحِبَهُ أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: وَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ صَاحِبِي، قَالَ: وَاخْتُلِفَ بَيْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَعُبَيْدَةَ ضَرْبَتَانِ، وَانْتَحَرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَحَمْزَةُ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَفَرَغْنَا مِنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَاحْتَمَلْنَا عُبَيْدَةَ.

✧ When we came to Madinah we found its climate disagreeable and we were afflicted with fever. The Prophet ﷺ was inquiring about Quraysh, and it reached him that they had encamped at Badr, which is a well. He sent two men, one of them al-Zubayr and the other Abu Ishaq thinks it was Ali. They came upon two men: a man from Quraysh and a freed slave of Uqbah b. Abi Mu'ayt. The Qurayshi escaped, and they brought the freed slave. They began questioning him and saying to him: How many are the people? Or how many are they? He said: By Allah, they are many in number and fierce in battle. Until they brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he questioned him, and he said that. He said: How many camels do the people slaughter each day? He said: Ten camels. He said: A camel for a hundred, so the people are a thousand. He said: A light rain fell upon us at night, so we dispersed under the trees and shields, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent his night supplicating and saying: O Allah, if You destroy this band, You will not be worshiped on earth. When dawn broke, he said: Prayer, O servants of Allah. We came out from under the trees and shields, and he urged or incited fighting and said: "It is as if I am looking at their slain." He said: When the people drew near, there was a man among them riding on a red camel. The Prophet ﷺ said to al-Zubayr: Call one of your companions and ask him: Who is the owner of the red camel? For if there is anyone among the people who commands you to good, it is he. Al-Zubayr asked: Who is the owner of the red camel? They said: Utbah b. Rabi'ah, and he was discouraging fighting, saying: O people, I see a people seeking death. By Allah, I do not think you will reach them until you are destroyed. He said: When what he said reached Abu Jahl, he came to him and said: Your lungs are filled with fear until you saw Muhammad and his companions. Utbah said to him: Do you reproach me, O you with a dyed anus? You will know which of us is more cowardly. Utbah dismounted from his camel, and his brother Shaybah and his son al-Walid followed him. They called for single combat, and some youths from the Ansar rushed to them. He said: Who are you? They told him, and he said: We have no need of you; we only wanted our cousins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Arise, O Hamzah; arise, O Ali; arise, O Ubaydah b. al-Harith." He said: Hamzah went to Utbah, I went to Shaybah, and Ubaydah went to al-Walid. He said: Hamzah did not delay with his opponent until he finished him. He said: I did not delay with my opponent. He said: Two blows were exchanged between al-Walid and Ubaydah, and each of them killed his opponent. He said: Hamzah and I went to them, and we finished off al-Walid and carried away Ubaydah.
