Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ لَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا حَاصَرَ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَالَ إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَكَأَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اغْدُوا فَغَدَوْا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَسُرَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Sufyan narrated to us: 'Amr narrated to us, from Abu al-'Abbas, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar - it was said to Sufyan, "Ibn 'Amr?" He said, "No, Ibn 'Umar" - that when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, besieged the people of Ta'if and could not achieve anything against them, he said: "We shall return tomorrow, if Allah wills." The Muslims seemed to dislike that, so he said: "Go out [to fight] in the morning." They went out in the morning to fight and were wounded. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "We shall return tomorrow, if Allah wills." The Muslims were pleased, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, laughed.
