The affair of the weepers
[ شَأْنُ الْبَكَّائِينَ في غزوة تبوك ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُمْ الْبَكَّاءُونَ، وَهُمْ سَبْعَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنْ بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ: سَالِمُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، وَعُلْبَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَخُو بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، وَأَبُو لَيْلَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، أَخُو بَنِي مَازِنِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ حُمَامِ بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ، أَخُو بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُغَفَّلِ الْمُزَنِيُّ - وَبَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ: بَلْ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْمُزَنِيُّ - وَهَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخُو بَنِي وَاقِفٍ، وَعِرْبَاضُ بْنُ سَارِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ. فَاسْتَحْمَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَكَانُوا أَهْلَ حَاجَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَتَوَلَّوْا وَأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنْ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا مَا يُنْفِقُونَ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ يَامِينَ بْنِ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ النَّضْرِيُّ لَقَى أَبَا لَيْلَى عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ وَهُمَا يَبْكِيَانِ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكُمَا ؟ قَالَا: جِئْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِيَحْمِلَنَا، فَلَمْ نَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ مَا يَحْمِلُنَا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى الْخُرُوجِ مَعَهُ؛ فَأَعْطَاهُمَا نَاضِحًا لَهُ، فَارْتَحَلَاهُ، وَرَوَّدَهُمَا شَيْئًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، فَخَرَجَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Translation
✧ The affair of the weepers in the expedition of Tabūk. Ibn Isḥāq said: Then some men of the Muslims came to the Messenger of God ﷺ—they were the weepers, and they were seven persons from the Anṣār and others, from the Banū ʿAmr b. ʿAwf: Sālim b. ʿUmayr, ʿUlbah b. Zayd, brother of the Banū Ḥārithah, Abū Laylā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Kaʿb, brother of the Banū Māzin b. al-Najjār, ʿAmr b. Ḥumām b. al-Jamūḥ, brother of the Banū Salimah, ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Mughaffal al-Muzanī—and some people say: rather he is ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr al-Muzanī—and Haramī b. ʿAbd Allāh, brother of the Banū Wāqif, and ʿIrbāḍ b. Sāriyah al-Fazārī. They asked the Messenger of God ﷺ to provide them with mounts, and they were people of need. He said: I do not find anything to mount you on. So they turned away, their eyes overflowing with tears out of grief that they could not find anything to spend. Ibn Isḥāq said: It reached me that Ibn Yāmīn b. ʿUmayr b. Kaʿb al-Naḍrī met Abū Laylā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Kaʿb and ʿAbd Allāh b. Mughaffal while they were weeping. He said: What makes you weep? They said: We came to the Messenger of God ﷺ for him to mount us, but we did not find with him anything to mount us on, and we have nothing with which to strengthen ourselves for going out with him. So he gave them a camel of his, and they rode it, and he supplied them with some dates, and they went out with the Messenger of God ﷺ.
