Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ دَاوُدُ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ الْأَسْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ فِدَاءٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِدَاءَهُمْ أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْكِتَابَةَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ يَوْمًا غُلَامٌ يَبْكِي إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ ضَرَبَنِي مُعَلِّمِي قَالَ الْخَبِيثُ يَطْلُبُ بِذَحْلِ بَدْرٍ وَاللَّهِ لَا تَأْتِيهِ أَبَدًا.
English Translation
There were captives on the day of Badr who had no ransom. So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) made their ransom to teach the children of the Ansar to write. One day a boy came crying to his father, who asked him what was wrong. He said: 'My teacher hit me.' The father said: 'The wretch! He seeks revenge for Badr!'
