٦٤۔٣٢ باب غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ

[Machine] And it is the battle of Muharib, a group of Banu Tha'labah from Ghatfan, they camped near a date-palm grove. This battle took place after Khaybar, because Abu Musa arrived after Khaybar.

وَهْيَ غَزْوَةُ مُحَارِبِ خَصَفَةَ مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ مِنْ غَطَفَانَ، فَنَزَلَ نَخْلاً. وَهْيَ بَعْدَ خَيْبَرَ، لأَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى جَاءَ بَعْدَ خَيْبَرَ.

The Prophet ﷺ led his Companions in the Fear Prayer in the seventh Ghazwa i.e. the Ghazwa of Dhat-ur-Riqa. Ibn Abbas said, "The Prophet ﷺ offered the Fear Prayer at a place called Dhi-Qarad."  

البخاري:٤١٢٥وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْخَوْفِ فِي غَزْوَةِ السَّابِعَةِ غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْخَوْفَ بِذِي قَرَدٍ  

bukhari:4126Bakr b. Sawādah > Ziyād b. Nāfiʿ > Abū Mūsá

Jabir said that the Prophet ﷺ led the people in the Fear Prayer on the day of Muharib and Tha'laba (i.e. the day of the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa').  

البخاري:٤١٢٦وَقَالَ بَكْرُ بْنُ سَوَادَةَ حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى

أَنَّ جَابِرًا حَدَّثَهُمْ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِهِمْ يَوْمَ مُحَارِبٍ وَثَعْلَبَةَ  

bukhari:4127Ibn Isḥāq > Wahbb. Kaysān

"The Prophet ﷺ set out for the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' at a place called Nakhl and he met a group of people from Ghatafan, but there was no clash (between them); the people were afraid of each other and the Prophet ﷺ offered the two raka'at of the Fear prayer." Narrated Salama: "I fought in the company of the Prophet ﷺ on the day of al-Qarad."  

البخاري:٤١٢٧وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ كَيْسَانَ

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَلَقِيَ جَمْعًا مِنْ غَطَفَانَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قِتَالٌ وَأَخَافَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَىِ الْخَوْفِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْقَرَدِ  

bukhari:4128Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Abū Usāmah > Burayd b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Burdah > Abū Burdah > Abū Mūsá

Abu Musa said, "We went out in the company of the Prophet ﷺ for a Ghazwa and we were six persons having one camel which we rode in rotation. So, (due to excessive walking) our feet became thin and my feet became thin and my nail dropped, and we used to wrap our feet with the pieces of cloth, and for this reason, the Ghazwa was named Dhat-ur-Riqa as we wrapped our feet with rags." When Abu- Musa narrated this (Hadith), he felt regretful to do so and said, as if he disliked to have disclosed a good deed of his.  

البخاري:٤١٢٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ قَالَ

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا وَنَقِبَتْ قَدَمَاىَ وَسَقَطَتْ أَظْفَارِي وَكُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا كُنَّا نَعْصِبُ مِنَ الْخِرَقِ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا وَحَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِهَذَا ثُمَّ كَرِهَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ بِأَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَىْءٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ  

bukhari:4129Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Mālik > Yazīd b. Rūmān

Concerning those who witnessed the Fear Prayer that was performed in the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ; One batch lined up behind him while another batch (lined up) facing the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ led the batch that was with him in one rakʿa, and he stayed in the standing posture while that batch completed their (two rakʿat) prayer by themselves and went away, lining in the face of the enemy, while the other batch came and he (i.e. the Prophet) offered his remaining rakʿa with them, and then, kept on sitting till they completed their prayer by themselves, and he then finished his prayer with Taslim along with them.  

البخاري:٤١٢٩حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ

عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَوَّاتٍ عَمَّنْ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ أَنَّ طَائِفَةً صَفَّتْ مَعَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ وُجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّتِي مَعَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ قَائِمًا وَأَتَمُّوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَصَفُّوا وُجَاهَ الْعَدُوِّ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهِمِ الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي بَقِيَتْ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ ثُمَّ ثَبَتَ جَالِسًا وَأَتَمُّوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بِهِمْ  

bukhari:4130Muʿādh > Hishām > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

Jabir said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ at Nakhl," and then he mentioned the Fear prayer. Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad: The Prophet ﷺ offered the Fear prayer in the Ghazwa of Banu Anmar.  

البخاري:٤١٣٠وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَخْلٍ فَذَكَرَ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْخَوْفِ  

تَابَعَهُ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَهُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَنِي أَنْمَارٍ

(describing the Fear prayer): The Imam stands up facing the Qibla and one batch of them (i.e. the army) (out of the two) prays along with him and the other batch faces the enemy. The Imam offers one rakʿa with the first batch they themselves stand up alone and offer one bowing and two prostrations while they are still in their place, and then go away to relieve the second batch, and the second batch comes (and takes the place of the first batch in the prayer behind the Imam) and he offers the second rakʿa with them. So he completes his two-rakʿat and then the second batch bows and prostrates two prostrations (i.e. complete their second rakʿa and thus all complete their prayer). (This hadith has also been narrated through two other chain by Sahl b. Abi Hathma)

I took part in a Ghazwa towards Najd along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we clashed with the enemy, and we lined up for them.  

البخاري:٤١٣٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَوَازَيْنَا الْعَدُوَّ فَصَافَفْنَا لَهُمْ  

bukhari:4133Musaddad > Yazīd b. Zurayʿ > Maʿmar > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar from his father

Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the Fear-prayer with one of the two batches of the army while the other (batch) faced the enemy. Then the first batch went away and took places of their companions (i.e. second batch) and the second batch came and he led his second rakʿa with them. Then he (i.e. the Prophet: finished his prayer with Taslim and then each of the two batches got up and completed their remaining one rakʿa.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ وَالطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةُ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَقَامُوا فِي مَقَامِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَامَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ وَقَامَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَقَضَوْا رَكْعَتَهُمْ

Jabir mentioned that he had participated in a Ghazwa towards Najd in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

البخاري:٤١٣٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سِنَانٌ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ جَابِرًا أَخْبَرَ

That he fought in a Ghazwa towards Najd along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, he too, returned along with him. The time of the afternoon nap overtook them when they were in a valley full of thorny trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ dismounted and the people dispersed amongst the thorny trees, seeking the shade of the trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ took shelter under a Samura tree and hung his sword on it. We slept for a while when Messenger of Allah ﷺ suddenly called us, and we went to him, to find a bedouin sitting with him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This (bedouin) took my sword out of its sheath while I was asleep. When I woke up, the naked sword was in his hand and he said to me, 'Who can save you from me?, I replied, 'Allah.' Now here he is sitting." Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not punish him (for that).

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَفَلَ مَعَهُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْعِضَاهِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَنِمْنَا نَوْمَةً ثُمَّ إِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُونَا فَجِئْنَاهُ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ سَيْفِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهْوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلْتًا فَقَالَ لِي مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي قُلْتُ اللَّهُ فَهَا هُوَ ذَا جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

"We were in the company of the Prophet (during the battle of) Dhat-ur-Riqa', and we came across a shady tree and we left it for the Prophet (to take rest under its shade). A man from the pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree. He took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet ﷺ ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet ﷺ said, Allah.' The companions of the Prophet ﷺ threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet ﷺ offered a two rakʿat Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rakʿa-t with the other batch. So the Prophet ﷺ offered four rakʿat but the people offered two rakʿat only." (The subnarrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against Muharib Khasafa."

Jabir added, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ at Nakhl and he offered the Fear prayer." Abu Huraira said, "I offered the Fear prayer with the Prophet ﷺ during the Ghazwa (i.e. the battle) of Najd." Abu Huraira came to the Prophet ﷺ during the day of Khaibar.
