Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ وَإِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ لَتَذْرِفَانِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا أَوْ قَالَ مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا.
English Translation
Isma'il narrated to us: Ayyub narrated to us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered a sermon and said: "Zayd took up the banner and was struck down; then Ja'far took it and was struck down; then 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah took it and was struck down" — and his eyes were shedding tears — "then Khalid took it without being appointed, and Allah granted him victory. It would not please me" — or he said, "it would not please them — that they be with us."
