Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 109
Musnad of Abū Ḥamzah Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the Servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا سَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ خَرَجَ فَاسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ، فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَهُمْ، فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ، فَسَكَتَ». فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُكُمْ. فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ لَا نَكُونُ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى: ﴿اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ﴾، وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ أَكْبَادَهَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ بَرْكَ الْغِمَادِ لَكُنَّا مَعَكَ.
Translation
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. Abū Bakr gave his counsel, then he consulted them again and ʿUmar gave his counsel, and then he fell silent. A man from the Anṣār said: “He means you [O Anṣār].” So they said: “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we will not say what the Children of Israel said to Moses: ‘Go forth, you and your Lord, and fight; we will remain sitting here.’ 5:24]. Rather, by Allah, even if you were to drive our mounts [all the way] until you reached Bark al-Ghimād, we would be with you.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 109
