أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ سَلْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
أَنَّ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ غَزَا بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَا يَتْبَعْنِي رَجُلٌ بَنَى دَارًا لَمْ يَسْكُنْهَا أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا أَوْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الرُّجُوعِ قَالَ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ عَنْدَ غَيْبُوبَةِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ وَإِنِّي مَأْمُورٌ فَاحْبِسْهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَحَبَسَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَجَمَعُوا الْغَنَائِمَ فَلَمْ تَأْكُلْهَا النَّارُ وَكَانُوا إِذَا غَنِمُوا غَنِيمَةً بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا النَّارَ فَأَكَلَتْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيِّهُمْ إِنَّ فِيكُمْ غُلُولًا فَلْيَأْتِنِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ رَجُلٌ فَلْيُبَايِعْنِي فَأَتَوْهُ فَبَايَعُوهُ فَلَزِقَتْ يَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْهُمْ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمَا غَلَلْتُمَا فَقَالَا أَجَلْ صُورَةُ رَأْسِ بَقَرَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَاءَا بِهَا فَأَلْقَيَاهَا فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّارَ فَأَكَلَتْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَطْعَمَنَا الْغَنَائِمَ رَحْمَةً رَحِمَنَا بِهَا وَتَخْفِيفًا خَفَّفَهُ عَنَّا لِمَا عَلِمَ مِنْ ضَعْفَنَا»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, a prophet from among the prophets went on a military expedition with his companions. He said, "No man should build a house without settling in it, or marry a woman without entering upon her, or have any need to return." He encountered the enemy when the sun was about to set. He prayed, "O Allah, it is a command, and I am under command. Stop it from setting until I take revenge between me and them." Allah caused the sun to stop setting, and they fought against the enemy. They gathered spoils of war, but the fire did not consume it, for whenever they would gather war booty, Allah would send fire on it and consume it. Their prophet said to them, "Among you, there are traitors. Let a man from every tribe come and pledge allegiance to me." They went to him and pledged allegiance. The hands of two men stuck to his hand, and they said, "You are accusing us of treachery." He said, "Indeed, there is a golden statue of a cow in the likeness of its head." So they brought it and threw it into the spoils of war. Allah sent fire, and it consumed it. At that moment, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah provided us with spoils of war as a mercy. He showed mercy to us and stayed the hand of the enemy because of our weakness."
