The Book of Jihad, Expeditions, and Authority-06a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, Abu Usamah narrated to us from al-Walid ibn Jumay', Abu al-Tufayl narrated to us, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman narrated to us, he said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37:176.
The Shaykh : And so Islam is built upon fulfilling covenants. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:91]. And like these two men, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned them away from jihad because they had covenanted with Quraysh not to seek al-Madinah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to fulfill the covenant, and he said: Sahih Muslim 1787. Allah is the Greatest.
What prevented me from witnessing Badr was that I set out with my father Husayl. He said: So the disbelievers of Quraysh captured us and said, "You are seeking Muhammad." We said, "We are not seeking him; we are seeking only al-Madinah." They took from us the covenant of Allah and His pledge that we would return to al-Madinah and not fight with him. So we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the matter. He said, "Return; we will fulfill our covenant with them and seek Allah's help against them."
مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي حُسَيْلٌ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَنَا كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالُوا : إِنَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ مُحَمَّدًا، فَقُلْنَا : مَا نُرِيدُهُ، مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا عَهْدَ اللهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ لَنَنْصَرِفَنَّ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ : انْصَرِفَا، نَفِي لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْThe Shaykh : And so Islam is built upon fulfilling covenants.
