ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُوصِيَ بَعْضَ الْجَيْشِ إِذَا سَوَّاهُمْ لِلْكَمِينِ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ عِلْمُهُ وَاسْتِعْمَالُهُ
[Machine] "When it was the Day of the Confederates or the Day of Uhud and we encountered the polytheists, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ assembled an army of archers and appointed Abdullah ibn Jubayr as their commander. He said, 'Do not leave your positions. If you see us prevailing over them, do not come to our aid. But if you see them prevailing over us, do not hesitate to assist us.'
When we encountered the enemy, the Muslims emerged victorious, to the point where you could see the women heading towards the mountains, letting loose their hair and saying, 'The spoils! The spoils!' Abdullah called out to them, 'Wait, haven't you heard what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed you?' So they returned.
When they approached the enemy, Allah diverted their attention from us, and the Muslims suffered ninety casualties. Then Abu Sufyan, who was on a high mound, asked, 'Is Muhammad among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.' Then he asked, 'Is the son of Abu Quhafa among the people?' He repeated this question three times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.' Then he asked, 'Is Umar ibn Al-Khattab among the people?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not respond to him.'
Then he turned to his companions and said, 'As for these people who were killed, if they were alive, they would have responded to him.' 'Umar could not control himself and said, 'You lie, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept for us such things that will disgrace you.' Abu Sufyan said, 'Hobal! Hobal!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Respond to him.' They asked, 'What should we say?' He replied, 'Say, "Allah is the Most High and Most Honorable."'
Abu Sufyan said, 'We have lineage and you do not.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Respond to him.' They asked, 'What should we say?' He replied, 'Say, "Allah is our Protector and you have no protector."'
Then Abu Sufyan said, 'A day for a day, the war is a scale. Surely, you will find among them some who were not commanded by me to be killed, nor did they harm me.'
