The Muslims' Route to Badr
[ 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. 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
Translation
✧ [The remainder of the route to Badr] The Messenger of God ﷺ encamped at Sajsaj, which is the well of al-Rawḥāʾ. Then he departed from there until, when he was at al-Munṣaraf, he left the road to Makkah on the left, and took the route on the right by al-Nāziyah, making for Badr. He traversed a side of it until he crossed a valley called Ruḥqān, between al-Nāziyah and the narrow pass of al-Ṣafrāʾ—then over the pass—then he 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 seek out news for him about Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb and others. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ departed, and he had already arrived at it. When he came upon al-Ṣafrāʾ, which is a village between two mountains, he asked about the two mountains: what were their names? They said: One of them is called Musliḥ, and the other Mukhriʾ. He asked about their people, and it was said: Banū al-Nār and Banū Ḥurāq, two clans of Banū Ghifār. The Messenger of God ﷺ disliked them and passing between them, and he took ill omens from their names and the names of their people. So the Messenger of God ﷺ left them and al-Ṣafrāʾ on the left, and took the route on the right by a valley called Dhafirān. He crossed it, then encamped.
