حَدَّثنا محمد بن المثني حَدَّثنا خالد بن الحارث حَدَّثنا حُمَيد عَن أَنَسٍ قَالَ غَابَ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ عَنْ قِتَالِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ غِبْتُ عَنْ أَوَّلِ قِتَالٍ قَاتَلَهُ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنِ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَشْهَدَنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِتَالا لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِسَيِفِه فَتَلَقَّاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ يَا سَعْدُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَجِدُهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ فَمَضَى فَقَاتَلَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَوَجَدْنَا بِهِ بِضْعًا وَثَمَانِينَ مَا بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ وَمَثَّلُوا بِهِ قَالَ فَمَا عَرَفْنَاهُ إلاَّ بِبَنَانِهِ قَالَ وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رجال صدقوا ما عاهدوا الله عليه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَئِنِ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَشْهَدَنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِتَالا لَيَرَيَنَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِسَيِفِه فَتَلَقَّاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ يَا سَعْدُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَجِدُهَا دُونَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ فَمَضَى فَقَاتَلَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَوَجَدْنَا بِهِ بِضْعًا وَثَمَانِينَ مَا بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ وَمَثَّلُوا بِهِ قَالَ فَمَا عَرَفْنَاهُ إلاَّ بِبَنَانِهِ قَالَ وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رجال صدقوا ما عاهدوا الله عليه
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, from Hadrat Anas (may Allah be well pleased with him) who said: Hadrat Anas ibn an-Nadr (may Allah be well pleased with him) was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said: "I was absent from the first battle the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) fought against the polytheists. If Allah, Blessed and Exalted, allows me to witness a battle with the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will surely see what I do." When the Day of Uhud came and the Muslims retreated, he said: "O Allah, I declare myself innocent before You of what these have brought" — meaning the polytheists — "and I apologize to You for what these have done" — meaning the Muslims. Then he went forward with his sword. Hadrat Sa'd ibn Muadh (may Allah be well pleased with him) met him and said: "Where, O Anas?" He said: "By Allah, I find it beyond Uhud." He said: So he went forward and fought. Anas said: We found on him over eighty wounds between sword strikes, spear thrusts, and arrow shots, and they mutilated him. He said: We did not recognize him except by his fingers. He said: And this verse was revealed: 'Among the believers are men who have been true to what they covenanted with Allah.'"
