أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَعْمَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ نَذْهَبُ وَلَمْ يُفْتَتَحْ؟ قَالَ «اغْدُوا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَغَدَوْا فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ فَكَأَنَّهُمُ اشْتَهَوْا ذَلِكَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laid siege to the people of Ta'if, but it seemed he did not gain anything from them. He said, "We are returning, if Allah wills." The Muslims said, "Should we leave when it has not been conquered?" He said, "Attack in the morning." So they attacked in the morning and suffered wounds. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We are returning." It was as if they were pleased with that, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed.
