The Great Expedition of Badr
قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى السَّاقَةِ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ أَخَا بَنِي مَازِنِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ. وَقَالَ الْأُمَوِيُّ: وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ فَرَسَانِ، عَلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلَى الْأُخْرَى الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، وَمَرَّةً سَعْدُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، وَمَرَّةً الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ. وَقَدْ رَوَى الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: مَا كَانَ فِينَا فَارِسٌ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ غَيْرُ الْمِقْدَادِ . وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ مِنْ طَرِيقِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ الْبَجَلِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ لَهُ: مَا كَانَ مَعَنَا إِلَّا فَرَسَانِ، فَرَسٌ لِلزُّبَيْرِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ. يَعْنِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ. قَالَ الْأُمَوِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْبَهِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَارِسَانِ، الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَلَى الْمَيْمَنَةِ، وَالْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ عَلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ. قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ بَعِيرًا يَعْتَقِبُونَهَا، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلِيٌّ وَمَرْثَدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ يَعْتَقِبُونَ بَعِيرًا، وَكَانَ حَمْزَةُ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ وَأَبُو كَبْشَةَ وَأَنَسَةُ يَعْتَقِبُونَ بَعِيرًا. كَذَا قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى. وَقَدْ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ كُلُّ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ، كَانَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ وَعَلِيٌّ زَمِيلَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: فَكَانَتْ عُقْبَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَا: نَحْنُ نَمْشِي عَنْكَ فَقَالَ: " مَا أَنْتُمَا بِأَقْوَى مِنِّي، وَلَا أَنَا بِأَغْنَى عَنِ الْأَجْرِ مِنْكُمَا ". وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ عَنِ الْفَلَّاسِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بِهِ. قُلْتُ: وَلَعَلَّ هَذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرُدَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ مِنَ الرَّوْحَاءِ، ثُمَّ كَانَ زَمِيلَاهُ عَلِيٌّ وَمَرْثَدٌ بَدَلَ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ. وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ. وَقَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ( أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِالْأَجْرَاسِ أَنْ تُقْطَعَ مِنْ أَعْنَاقِ الْإِبِلِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ. وَهَذَا عَلَى شَرْطِ " الصَّحِيحَيْنِ ".
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Qays b. Abī Ṣaʿṣaʿah, the brother of Banū Māzin b. al-Najjār, in charge of the rear guard. Al-Umawī said: They had with them two horses; on one of them was Muṣʿab b. ʿUmayr, and on the other al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām; and at times Saʿd b. Khaythamah, and at times al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad. Imām Aḥmad related from the ḥadīth of Abū Isḥāq, from Ḥārithah b. Muḍarrib, from ʿAlī, who said: There was no horseman among us on the day of Badr other than al-Miqdād. Al-Bayhaqī related from the route of Ibn Wahb, from Abū Ṣakhr, from Abū Muʿāwiyah al-Bajalī, from Saʿīd b. Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that ʿAlī said to him: We had only two horses with us: a horse for al-Zubayr and a horse for al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad — meaning on the day of Badr. Al-Umawī said: My father narrated to us; Ismāʿīl b. Abī Khālid narrated to us from al-Bahī, who said: With the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Badr there were two horsemen: al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām on the right wing, and al-Miqdād b. al-Aswad on the left wing. Ibn Isḥāq said: They had with them seventy camels, which they rode in turns. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ʿAlī, and Marthad b. Abī Marthad took turns riding one camel. Ḥamzah, Zayd b. Ḥārithah, Abū Kabshah, and Anasah took turns riding one camel. Thus said Ibn Isḥāq, may Allah Almighty have mercy on him. Imām Aḥmad said: ʿAffān narrated to us, from Ḥammād b. Salamah; ʿĀṣim b. Bahdalah narrated to us, from Zirr b. Ḥubaysh, from ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd, who said: On the day of Badr, every three of us were on one camel. Abū Lubābah and ʿAlī were the two riding companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: It was the turn of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to walk, so the two of them said: We will walk instead of you. He said: "You two are not stronger than me, nor am I less in need of the reward than you two." Al-Nasāʾī related it from al-Fallās, from Ibn Mahdī, from Ḥammād b. Salamah, with the same chain. I say: Perhaps this was before he sent Abū Lubābah back from al-Rawḥāʾ, then his two riding companions became ʿAlī and Marthad instead of Abū Lubābah. And Allah knows best. Imām Aḥmad said: Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar narrated to us; Saʿīd narrated to us, from Qatādah, from Zurārah b. Awfā, from Saʿd b. Hishām, from ʿĀʾishah ؓ, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the bells be cut from the necks of the camels on the day of Badr. This meets the condition of the two Ṣaḥīḥs.
