[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.  

الحاكم:٢٦٢١ – أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتَّابٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزِّبْرِقَانِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ شَاهِينَ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأُسَارَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِدَاءٌ «فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِدَاءَهُمْ أَنْ يُعَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَ الْأَنْصَارِ الْكِتَابَةَ» قَالَ فَجَاءَ غُلَامٌ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ قَالَ ضَرَبَنِي مُعَلِّمِي قَالَ الْخَبِيثُ يَطْلُبُ بِدَخْلِ بَدْرٍ وَاللَّهِ 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

[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."
