The Great Expedition of Badr
[ طَرِيقُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إلَى بَدْرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَسَلَكَ طَرِيقَهُ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ إلَى مَكَّةَ، عَلَى نَقْبِ الْمَدِينَةِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى الْعَقِيقِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى أُولَاتِ الْجَيْشِ. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: ذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ. [ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اعْتَرَضَ الرَّسُولَ وَجَوَابُ سَلَمَةَ لَهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى تُرْبَانَ، ثُمَّ عَلَى مَلَلٍ، ثُمَّ غَمِيسِ الْحَمَامِ مِنْ مَرَيَيْنِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى صُخَيْرَاتِ الْيَمَامِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى السَّيَّالَةِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى فَجِّ الرَّوْحَاءِ، ثُمَّ عَلَى شَنُوكَةَ، وَهِيَ الطَّرِيقُ الْمُعْتَدِلَةُ؛ حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ بِعِرْقِ الظَّبْيَةِ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الظَّبْيَةُ: عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ - لَقُوا رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَعْرَابِ، فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ النَّاسِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عِنْدَهُ خَبَرًا؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ: سَلِّمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: أَوَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إنْ كُنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّا فِي بَطْنِ نَاقَتِي هَذِهِ. قَالَ لَهُ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ بْنِ وَقَشٍ: لَا تَسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَقْبِلْ عَلَيَّ فَأَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ. نَزَوْتَ عَلَيْهَا، فَفِي بَطْنِهَا مِنْكَ سَخْلَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، مَهْ، أَفْحَشْتَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ أَعَرَضَ عَنْ سَلَمَةِ. [ بَقِيَّةُ الطَّرِيقِ إلَى بَدْرٍ ] وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجْسَجَ، وَهِيَ بِئْرُ الرَّوْحَاءِ، ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ مِنْهَا، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ بِالْمُنْصَرَفِ، تَرَكَ طَرِيقَ مَكَّةَ بِيَسَارٍ، وَسَلَكَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ عَلَى النَّازِيَةِ، يُرِيدُ بَدْرًا، فَسَلَكَ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهَا، حَتَّى جَزَعَ وَادِيًا، يُقَالُ لَهُ رُحْقَانُ، بَيْنَ النَّازِيَةِ وَبَيْنَ مَضِيقِ الصَّفْرَاءِ، ( ثُمَّ عَلَى الْمَضِيقِ )، ثُمَّ انْصَبَّ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى إذَا كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ الصَّفْرَاءِ، بَعَثَ بَسْبَسَ بْنَ الْجُهَنِيِّ، حَلِيفَ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، وَعَدِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي الزَّغْبَاءِ الْجُهَنِيَّ، حَلِيفَ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، إلَى بَدْرٍ يَتَحَسَّسَانِ لَهُ الْأَخْبَارَ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَغَيْرِهِ. وَلَمَّا سَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَامَ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ، ثُمَّ نَادَى مُنَادِيهِ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعُصَاةِ إِنِّي مُفْطِرٌ فَأَفْطِرُوا، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ قَالَ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ: أَفْطِرُوا فَلَمْ يَفْعَلُوا. ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَقَدْ قَدِمَهَا. فَلَمَّا اسْتَقْبَلَ الصَّفْرَاءَ، وَهِيَ قَرْيَةٌ بَيْنَ جَبَلَيْنِ، سَأَلَ عَنْ جَبَلَيْهِمَا مَا اسْمَاهُمَا ؟ فَقَالُوا: يُقَالُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا، هَذَا مُسْلِحٌ، وَلِلْآخَرِ: هَذَا مُخْرِئٌ، وَسَأَلَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِمَا، فَقِيلَ: بَنُو النَّارِ وَبَنُو حُرَاقٍ، بَطْنَانِ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَكَرِهَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْمُرُورُ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَتَفَاءَلَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمَا وَأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِهِمَا. فَتَرَكَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالصَّفْرَاءَ بِيَسَارِ، وَسَلَكَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ عَلَى وَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: ذَفِرَانَ، فَجَزَعَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ.

✧ [The Muslims' route to Badr] Ibn Isḥāq said: He took his route from Madinah to Makkah, by the mountain pass of Madinah, then by al-ʿAqīq, then by Dhū al-Ḥulayfah, then by Ūlāt al-Jaysh. Ibn Hishām said: Dhāt al-Jaysh. [The man who intercepted the Messenger and Salamah's reply to him] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then he passed by Turbān, then by Malal, then Ghamīs al-Ḥamām from Marayayn, then by Ṣukhayrāt al-Yamām, then by al-Sayyālah, then by Fajj al-Rawḥāʾ, then by Shanūkah, which is the level road; until when he was at ʿIrq al-Ẓabyah — Ibn Hishām said: al-Ẓabyah, from other than Ibn Isḥāq — they met a man from the Bedouin, and asked him about the people, but found no news with him. The people said to him: Greet the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: Is the Messenger of God among you? They said: Yes. So he greeted him, then said: If you are the Messenger of God, tell me what is in the belly of this she-camel of mine. Salamah b. Salāmah b. Waqsh said to him: Do not ask the Messenger of God ﷺ; turn to me and I will tell you about that. You mounted her, and in her belly is a female kid from you. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Enough! You have spoken obscenely to the man. Then he turned away from Salamah. [The rest of the route to Badr] The Messenger of God ﷺ halted at Sajsaj, which is the well of al-Rawḥāʾ. Then he departed from it, until when he was at al-Munṣaraf, he left the road to Makkah on the left, and took the right-hand route by al-Nāziyah, heading for Badr. He proceeded in one of its districts until he crossed a valley called Ruḥqān, between al-Nāziyah and the narrow pass of al-Ṣafrāʾ, (then by the narrow pass), then descended from it, until when he was near al-Ṣafrāʾ, he sent Basbas b. al-Juhanī, confederate of Banū Sāʿidah, and ʿAdī b. Abī al-Zaghbāʾ al-Juhanī, confederate of Banū al-Najjār, to Badr to spy out for him the news about Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb and others. When the Messenger of God ﷺ marched, he fasted a day or two. Then his crier called out: O company of the disobedient, I am breaking the fast, so break your fast. That was because he had said to them before that: Break your fast, but they did not do so. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ departed, and he had preceded it. When he faced al-Ṣafrāʾ, which is a village between two mountains, he asked about their two mountains, what were their names? They said: One of them is called Musliḥ, and the other is called Mukhriʾ. He asked about their inhabitants, and it was said: Banū al-Nār and Banū Ḥurāq, two clans of Banū Ghifār. The Messenger of God ﷺ disliked them and disliked passing between them, and he drew an ill omen from their names and the names of their inhabitants. So the Messenger of God ﷺ left them and al-Ṣafrāʾ on the left, and took the right-hand route by a valley called Dhafirān. He crossed it, then halted.
