[Machine] Abu Talhah read the Quran verse "March forth, whether light or heavy" [Surah At-Tawbah 9:41]. So he said, "I suggest that we gather both the elderly and the young for battle." They replied, "O our father, you have already fought alongside the Prophet ﷺ until he passed away, and with Abu Bakr and Umar. We are fighting on your behalf." But he insisted, so he embarked on a ship until he passed away. They were unable to find an island to bury him on until after seven days. So, what changed?
أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] فَقَالَ أَرَى أَنْ تُسْتَنْفَرُوا شُيُوخًا وَشُبَّانًا فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا لَقَدْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ فَأَبَى فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا جَزِيرَةً يِدْفِنُوهُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ قَالَ فَمَا تَغَيَّرَ
