وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
افْتَرَضَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الْوَاحِدُ الْعَشَرَةَ، فَثَقُلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَوَضَعَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي ذَلِكَ: إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ يَعْنِي: غَنَائِمَ بَدْرٍ، يَقُولُ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي لَا أُعَذِّبُ مَنْ عَصَانِي حَتَّى أَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِمَنْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنَ الْأُسَارَى، الْآيَةَ. فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ: فِيَّ وَاللهِ نَزَلَتْ؛ حِينَ أَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِإِسْلَامِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يُحَاسِبَنِي بِالْعِشْرِينَ الْأُوقِيَّةَ الَّتِي أَخَذْتُ مَعِي، فَأَعْطَانِي بِهَا عِشْرِينَ عَبْدًا، كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ تَاجَرَ بِمَالٍ فِي يَدِهِ، مَعَ مَا أَرْجُو مِنْ مَغْفِرَةِ اللهِ تَعَالَى

✧ Allah Almighty obliged them to fight one against ten, and that was heavy and hard for them, so Allah Almighty reduced it for them to a man fighting two men. And Allah Almighty revealed about that: “If there are among you twenty steadfast, they will overcome two hundred” to the end of the verses. Then He said: “Were it not for a prior decree from Allah, a great punishment would have touched you for what you took,” meaning the spoils of Badr. He says: Had I not decreed that I will not punish those who disobey Me until I have given them prior warning. Then He said: “O Prophet, say to those captives in your hands,” the verse. Al-'Abbas ؓ said: It was revealed concerning me, by Allah, when I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of my Islam and asked him to settle with me the twenty uqiyyas that I had taken with me, and he gave me in return twenty slaves, each of whom had traded with wealth in his hand, along with what I hope for from the forgiveness of Allah Almighty.
