قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ، ثَنَا الْمُؤَمَّلُ هُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ - ؓ قَالَ:
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِي أَدْنَى الأَرْضِ - الْآيَةَ، لَقِيَ نَاسٌ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالُوا: أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى صَاحِبِكَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الرُّومَ سَتَغْلِبُ فَارِسَ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالُوا: فَهَلْ نُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ: فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا فَعَلْتُهُ إِلَّا تَصْدِيقًا لِلهِ تَعَالَى وَرَسُولِهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: فَتَعَرَّضْ لَهُمْ، وَأَعْظِمْ لَهُمُ الْخَطَرَ، وَاجْعَلْهُ إِلَى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ، فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَمْضِي السُّنُونَ حَتَّى تَظْهَرَ الرُّومُ عَلَى فَارِسَ قَالَ: فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ لَكَمَ فِي الْعَوْدِ ; فَإِنَّ الْعَوْدَ أَحْمَدُ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. فَبَايَعُوهُ، وَأَعْظَمُوا الْخَطَرَ. فَلَمْ تَمْضِ السُّنُونَ حَتَّى ظَهَرَتِ الرُّومُ عَلَى فَارِسَ، فَأَخَذَ ؓ الْخَطَرَ، وَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: هَذَا لِلنَّجَائِبِ

✧ When it was revealed: "Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land..." the verse, some people met Abu Bakr ؓ and said: "Do you not see your companion claiming that the Romans will defeat Persia?" He ؓ said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ has spoken the truth." They said: "Shall we make a bet with you on that?" He said: "Yes." Abu Bakr ؓ said: "That reached the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: 'What did you intend by this?' He said: 'O Messenger of God, I did it only to affirm God, Exalted is He, and His Messenger ﷺ.' He said: 'Then challenge them and make the stakes great, and set it for a few years. For if the years pass until the Romans prevail over Persia...' He said: 'Abu Bakr ؓ passed by them and said: 'Would you like to repeat? For repeating is better.' They said: 'Yes.' So they bet with him and increased the stakes. The years had not passed before the Romans prevailed over Persia, and he ؓ took the stakes and brought them to the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'This is for the noble camels.'
