[Machine] There was no ransom for some of the prisoners of Badr, so the Messenger of Allah made their ransom to be that they teach the children of the Ansar how to write. So a boy from the Ansar came crying to his father one day and his father asked him what was wrong. He said, "My teacher beat me." The father said, "May the evil one seek destruction in Badr. By Allah, he will never come to him again."  

البيهقي:١١٦٨٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ الْأَدِيبُ ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ خَاقَانَ وَفَضَلُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْأَعْرَجُ قَالَا ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ أُسَارَى بَدْرٍ فِدَاءٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِدَاءَهُمْ أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْكِتَابَةَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ غُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَبْكِي يَوْمًا إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ قَالَ ضَرَبَنِي مُعَلِّمِي قَالَ الْخَبِيثُ يَطْلُبُ بِذَحْلِ بَدْرٍ وَاللهِ لَا تَأْتِيهِ أَبَدًا

ahmad:2216 – ʿAlī b. ʿĀṣim > Dāwud > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] There were some prisoners on the day of Badr who had no ransom. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made their ransom to be that they teach the children of the Ansar how to write. It is said that one day, a boy came crying to his father. The father asked, "What happened to you?" The boy replied, "My teacher hit me". The wicked one seeks revenge for the Battle of Badr and by Allah, it will never come to him.  

أحمد:٢٢١٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَسْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ فِدَاءٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِدَاءَهُمْ أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْكِتَابَةَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ غُلَامٌ يَوْمًا يَبْكِي إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ قَالَ ضَرَبَنِي مُعَلِّمِي قَالَ الْخَبِيثُ يَطْلُبُ بِذَحْلِ بَدْرٍ وَاللهِ لَا تَأْتِيهِ أَبَدًا

[Machine] There were some prisoners on the day of Badr who had no ransom, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made their ransom to be teaching the children of the Ansar how to write. A boy from the children of the Ansar came to his father and said, "What is your problem?" He said, "My teacher hit me." The evil (person) seeks to enter Badr's reward, and by Allah, it will never come to him.
