حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الصَّفَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ
خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفُتِحَ لَهُ وَقَالَ مَا يَسُرُّنَا أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا قَالَ أَيُّوبُ أَوْ قَالَ مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ

The Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "Zaid took the flag and was martyred, and then Jaʿfar took the flag and was martyred, and then ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and was martyred too, and then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag though he was not appointed as a commander and Allah made him victorious." The Prophet ﷺ further added, "It would not please us to have them with us." Aiyub, a sub-narrator, added, "Or the Prophet, shedding tears, said, 'It would not please them to be with us.'"
