أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حِبَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْلَمُ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ قَالَ كُنَّا بِالْقُسْطَنْطِينَةِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ مِصْرَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَضَالَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ فَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ صَفٌّ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ وَصَفَفْنَا لَهُمْ صَفًّا عَظِيمًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى صَفِّ الرُّومِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مُقْبِلًا فَصَاحَ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْفَتَى أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ فَقَالَ
أَبُو أَيُّوبَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَتَأَوَّلُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى هَذَا التَّأْوِيلِ وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَمَّا أَعَزَّ اللهُ دِينَهُ وَكَثَّرَ نَاصِرِيهِ قُلْنَا بَيْنَنَا بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ سِرًّا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَمْوَالَنَا قَدْ ضَاعَتْ فَلَوْ أَنَّا أَقَمْنَا فِيهَا وَأَصْلَحْنَا مَا ضَاعَ مِنْهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا مَا هَمَمْنَا بِهِ قَالَ {وَأَنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ} [البقرة 195] فَكَانَتِ التَّهْلُكَةُ الْإِقَامَةُ الَّتِي أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُقِيمَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا فَنُصْلَحَهَا فَأُمِرْنَا بِالْغَزْوِ فَمَا زَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ

✧ Abu Ayyub, the companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ, said: O people, you interpret this verse according to such an interpretation, but this verse was only revealed concerning us, the Ansar. When God strengthened His religion and multiplied its supporters, we said among ourselves, some of us to others privately from the Messenger of God ﷺ: Our wealth has been lost; if only we would stay with it and repair what has been lost of it. Then God, blessed and exalted, revealed in His Book, refuting what we had intended: {And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction} [al-Baqarah: 195]. Thus destruction was the staying that we wanted to stay with our wealth to repair it. So we were commanded to go on expeditions, and Abu Ayyub remained fighting in the way of God until he passed away.
