وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِلَى الزُّبَيْرِ ؓ قَالَ:
وَاللهِ إِنَّ النُّعَاسَ لَيَغْشَانِي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ قُشَيْرٍ يَقُولُهَا، وَمَا أَسْمَعُهَا مِنْهُ إِلَّا كَالْحُلْمِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوا وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللهُ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ. قَالَ: وَالَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا عِنْدَ جَوْلَةِ النَّاسِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الزُّرَقِيُّ، وَأَخُوهُ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَتَّى بَلَغُوا جَبَلًا بِنَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْحَاجِبُ بِبَطْنِ الْأَعْوَصِ، فَأَقَامُوا بِهِ ثَلَاثًا، فَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمْ لَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ ذَهَبْتُمْ فِيهَا عَرِيضَةً. ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَعْنِي: الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَقَالُوا لإِخْوَانِهِمْ إِذَا ضَرَبُوا فِي الأَرْضِ أَوْ كَانُوا غُزًّى لَوْ كَانُوا عِنْدَنَا مَا مَاتُوا وَمَا قُتِلُوا لِيَجْعَلَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: ابْتِغَاءً وَتَحَسُّرًا، وَذَلِكَ لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ شَيْئًا. ثُمَّ كَانَتِ الْقِصَّةُ فِيمَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ وَيَعْهَدُ إِلَيْهِ، حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: أَوَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَيْهَا يَعْنِي: يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فِيمَنْ قُتِلُوا وَأُسِرُوا، قُلْتُمْ أَنَّى هَذَا قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ الَّتِي كَانَتْ مِنَ الرُّمَاةِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقُولُ: عَلَانِيَةَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَيَظْهَرَ أَمْرُهُمْ، وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ نَافَقُوا فَيَكُونُ أَمْرُهُمْ عَلَانِيَةً، وَيَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِمَّنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ سَارَ إِلَى عَدُوِّهِ، وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا قَاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوِ ادْفَعُوا قَالُوا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ قِتَالا لاتَّبَعْنَاكُمْ وَذَلِكَ لِقَوْلِهِمْ حِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ سَائِرُونَ إِلَى أُحُدٍ حِينَ انْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُمْ: أَتَخْذُلُونَنَا وَتُسْلِمُونَنَا لِعَدُوِّنَا، فَقَالُوا: مَا نَرَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قِتَالًا، لَوْ نَرَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قِتَالًا لَاتَّبَعْنَاكُمْ، يَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: هُمْ لِلْكُفْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنْهُمْ لِلإِيمَانِ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ مَا لَيْسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَكْتُمُونَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا لإِخْوَانِهِمْ مِنْ ذَوِي أَرْحَامِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَعْنِ تَعَالَى إِخْوَانَهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ لَوْ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُوا، قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قُلْ فَادْرَءُوا عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

✧ By Allah, drowsiness was overcoming me when I heard Ibn Qushayr saying it, and I could not hear it from him except as in a dream. Then he recited: "Indeed, those who turned back among you on the day the two armies met, it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some of what they had earned, and Allah has pardoned them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing." He said: Those who turned back when the people fled were 'Uthman b. 'Affan, Sa'id b. 'Uthman al-Zuraqi, and his brother 'Uqbah b. 'Uthman, until they reached a mountain near Madinah called al-Hajib in the valley of al-A'was. They stayed there for three days. They claimed that when they returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: You went far in it. Then he said: "O you who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved" - meaning the hypocrites - "and said to their brothers when they traveled in the land or were on an expedition, 'If they had been with us, they would not have died or been killed,' so that Allah makes that a cause of regret in their hearts." He said: seeking and regretting, and that will not avail them anything. Then the story continued with what He commands His Prophet ﷺ and entrusts to him, until he reached His saying: "And when a disaster struck you, although you had struck them with twice as much, you said, 'How is this?' Say, 'It is from yourselves'" - that which came from the archers. He said: And "What struck you on the day the two armies met was by Allah's permission, and that He might know the believers" - meaning the openness of their affair and that their matter be manifest - "and that He might know the hypocrites" - so their affair would be open; meaning 'Abdullah b. Ubayy and those with him who turned back from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he marched to his enemy. And it was said to them: "Come, fight in the way of Allah or defend." They said: "If we knew there would be fighting, we would follow you." That was their saying when the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them while they were marching to Uhud, when they turned away from them: Will you abandon us and hand us over to our enemy? They said: We do not think there will be fighting. If we thought there would be fighting, we would follow you. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "They were closer that day to disbelief than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts, and Allah is most knowing of what they conceal" - those who said to their brothers from their kin, not meaning their brothers in religion, "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "Say, 'Then avert death from yourselves, if you are truthful.'"
