[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I saw as if I had brought a cluster of dates and I bit into it and found a pit that hurt me, so I spat it out. Then I took another date and bit into it and found a pit, so I spat it out. Then I took another date and bit into it and found a pit, so I spat it out.' Abu Bakr said, 'Let me interpret it.' He said, 'Interpret it.' Abu Bakr said, 'It is your army that you have sent. They will be safe and will gain spoils. They will encounter a man who will claim your protection, so they will honor it. Then they will encounter another man who will claim your protection, so they will honor it. Then they will encounter another man who will claim your protection, so they will honor it.' He said, 'That is so,' said the angel."  

أحمد:١٥٢٨٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي أَتَيْتُ بِكُتْلَةِ تَمْرٍ فَعَجَمْتُهَا فِي فَمِي فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهَا نَوَاةً آذَتْنِي فَلَفَظْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ أُخْرَى فَعَجَمْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهَا نَوَاةً فَلَفَظْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ أُخْرَى فَعَجَمْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهَا نَوَاةً فَلَفَظْتُهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ دَعْنِي فَلْأَعْبُرْهَا قَالَ قَالَ اعْبُرْهَا قَالَ هُوَ جَيْشُكَ الَّذِي بَعَثْتَ يَسْلَمُ وَيَغْنَمُ فَيَلْقَوْنَ رَجُلًا فَيَنْشُدُهُمْ ذِمَّتَكَ فَيَدَعُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْقَوْنَ رَجُلًا فَيَنْشُدُهُمْ ذِمَّتَكَ فَيَدَعُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْقَوْنَ رَجُلًا فَيَنْشُدُهُمْ ذِمَّتَكَفَيَدَعُونَهُ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ

"رأَيتُ كَأَنِّى أُتِيتُ بِكُتْلَة تمْر فجمعْتُهَا فِى فَمِى، فَوَجَدْتُ فِيهَا نَوَاةً فَلفَظتُهَا، فقال أَبو بكر: هُوَ جَيْشُكَ الَّذى بَعَثْتَ، يَسْلَمُونَ وَيَغْنَمُونَ، فيَلقَوْنَ رَجُلا

فَيَنْشُدُهُم ذمَّتَك فَيَدَعُونَهُ، ثَم يَلقَوْنَ رَجُلا فيَنْشُدُهُم ذِمَّتَك، فيدَعُونَهُ. قال: كَذَلِكَ قال الْمَلَكُ".
