The Ghazwa of Al-‘Ushaira or Al-usaira
Narrated Abu 'Is-haq:
Once, while I was sitting beside Zaid bin Al-Arqam, he was asked, "How many Ghazwat did the
Prophet undertake?" Zaid replied, "Nineteen." They said, "In how many Ghazwat did you join him?"
He replied, "Seventeen." I asked, "Which of these was the first?" He replied, "Al-`Ashira or Al-
`Ashiru."
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ كُنْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ كَمْ غَزَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ غَزْوَةٍ قَالَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ قِيلَ كَمْ غَزَوْتَ أَنْتَ مَعَهُ قَالَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّهُمْ كَانَتْ أَوَّلَ قَالَ الْعُسَيْرَةُ أَوِ الْعُشَيْرُ فَذَكَرْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ الْعُشَيْرُ
The Prophet’s (ﷺ) prediction about whom he thought would be killed at Badr
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
From Sa`d bin Mu`adh: Sa`d bin Mu`adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever
Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sa`d, and whenever Sa`d went to Mecca, he used
to stay with Umaiya. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Sa`d went to perform `Umra and
stayed at Umaiya's home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, "Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is
empty so that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka`ba." So Umaiya went with him about
midday. Abu Jahl met them and said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He said,
"He is Sa`d." Abu Jahl addressed Sa`d saying, "I see you wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of
the fact that you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became
Muslims) and have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the
company of Abu Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely." Sa`d, raising his voice,
said to him, "By Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would
certainly prevent you from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage through
Medina." On this, Umaiya said to him, "O Sa`d do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief
of the people of the Valley (of Mecca)." Sa`d said, "O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) predicting that the Muslim will kill you." Umaiya asked, "In Mecca?" Sa`d said, "I do
not know." Umaiya was greatly scared by that news.
When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, "O Um Safwan! Don't you know what Sa`d
told me? "She said, "What has he told you?" He replied, "He claims that Muhammad has informed
them (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, 'In Mecca?' He replied, 'I do not know."
Then Umaiya added, "By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca." But when the day of (the Ghazwa of)
Badr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, "Go and protect your caravan." But Umaiya
disliked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, "O Abu Safwan! If the people see you
staying behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with
you." Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, "As you have forced me to
change my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). "O
Um Safwan, prepare what I need (for the journey)." She said to him, "O Abu Safwan! Have you
forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?" He said, "No, but I do not want to go with them but
for a short distance." So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He
kept on doing that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.

The story of the Ghazwa of Badr
Narrated Ka`b bin Malik:
I never failed to join Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in any of his Ghazawat except in the Ghazwa of Tabuk.
However, I did not take part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but none who failed to take part in it, was
blamed, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had gone out to meet the caravans of (Quraish, but Allah caused them (i.e.
Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly (with no previous intention) .
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا إِلاَّ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يُعَاتَبْ أَحَدٌ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُرِيدُ عِيرَ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى جَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَدُوِّهِمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِيعَادٍ
The Statement of Allah تعالى: "(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying: 'I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.' Allah made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Remember) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions) of Shaitan (Satan), and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby. (Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, 'Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.' This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment." (V.8:9-13)
Narrated Ibn Masud:
I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been dearer to me than anything
had I been the hero of that scene. He (i.e. Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while the Prophet (ﷺ) was
urging the Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say as the People of Moses
said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two. (5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left
and in front of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet (ﷺ) getting bright with happiness, for
that saying delighted him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ مَشْهَدًا لأَنْ أَكُونَ صَاحِبَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ لاَ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى [ 5 24 24]اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلاَ وَلَكِنَّا نُقَاتِلُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَخَلْفَكَ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ وَسَرَّهُ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! I appeal to You (to fulfill) Your
Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You (then give victory to
the pagans)." Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, "This is sufficient for you." The
Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs."
(54.45)

CHAPTER
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The believers who failed to join the Ghazwa of Badr and those who took part in it are not equal (in
reward).
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِقْسَمًا مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ [ 4 95 95]لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ وَالْخَارِجُونَ إِلَى بَدْرٍ

The companions of (the Prophet) Muhammad who took part in Badr, told me that their number was
that of Saul's (i.e. Talut's) companions who crossed the river (of Jordan) with him and they were over
three-hundred-and-ten men. By Allah, none crossed the river with him but a believer. (See Qur'an
2:249)
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا عِدَّةَ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ الَّذِينَ جَازُوا مَعَهُ النَّهَرَ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ وَثَلاَثَمِائَةٍ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَ مَعَهُ النَّهَرَ إِلاَّ مُؤْمِنٌ

Invoking evil of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the disbelievers of Quraish and their death
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
The Prophet (ﷺ) faced the Ka`ba and invoked evil on some people of Quraish, on Shaiba bin Rabi`a,
`Utba bin Rabi`a, Al-Walid bin `Utba and Abu Jahl bin Hisham. I bear witness, by Allah, that I saw
them all dead, putrefied by the sun as that day was a very hot day.

said, "Are you Abu Jahl?" And took him by the beard. Abu Jahl said, "Can there be a man superior to
one you have killed or one whom his own folk have killed?"
