ahmad:4588Sufyān > ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar Qīl Lisufyān Ibn ʿAmr > Lā Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ besieged the people of Taif and was unable to overcome them, he said, 'We will depart tomorrow, God willing.' It seemed that the Muslims disliked this, so he said, 'March forward.' They marched forward for battle and some of them were wounded. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We will depart tomorrow, God willing.' The Muslims felt relieved, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled."  

أحمد:٤٥٨٨حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو؟ قَالَ لَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا حَاصَرَ أَهْلَ الطَّائِفِ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَالَ إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَكَأَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اغْدُوا فَغَدَوْا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَسُرَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

The Prophet ﷺ besieged the people of Ta'if, but he did not conquer it. He said, "Tomorrow, if Allah will, we will return home. On this the Muslims said, "Then we return without conquering it?" He said, 'Then carry on fighting tomorrow." The next day many of them were injured. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allah will, we will return home tomorrow." It seemed that statement pleased them whereupon Allah's Apostle smiled.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ trapped the people of Ta'if, as if he did not receive anything from them. He said, "We will leave, if Allah wills."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed.
