ذِكْرُ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ

[Machine] Abu Talha read this verse, "March forth, whether light or heavy" [At-Tawbah 41]. He said, "Allah has commanded us to go out and has ordered us to go out. We went out in our youth and in our old age. Prepare me." His sons said to him, "May Allah have mercy on you, you have already fought during the time of the Prophet ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar, and now we are fighting for you." He fought in a battle and died. They sought an island to bury him, but they were unable to do so until seven days had passed, and his body did not decompose.  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] فَقَالَ اسْتَنْفَرَنَا اللَّهُ وَأَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ وَاسْتَنْفَرْنَا شُيُوخًا وَشَبَابًا جَهِّزُونِي فَقَالَ بَنَوْهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّكَ قَدْ غَزَوْتَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ الْآنَ فَغَزَا الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ فَطَلَبُوا جَزِيرَةً يَدْفِنُونَهُ فِيهَا فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا تَغَيَّرَ  

[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  

[Machine] Talhah read this verse, "March forth, whether light or heavy." [Surah At-Tawbah, verse 41] He said, "I see our Lord mobilizing us, old and young. Prepare me, O sons, prepare me." So his sons said, "You have already witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and Umar, and we are ready to fight." He said, "Prepare me." Then he embarked on the sea and died. They did not find any island for him except after seven days. He was buried there and did not change.  

طَلْحَةَ ؓ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] قَالَ أَرَى رَبَّنَا يَسْتَنْفِرُنَا شُيُوخًا وَشَبَابًا جَهِّزُونِي أَيْ بَنِيَّ جَهِّزُونِي فَقَالَ بَنُوهُ قَدْ شَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو فَقَالَ جَهِّزُونِي فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَقُبِرَ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ  

[Machine] Abu Talhah Al-Ansari recited Surah Bara'ah. When he came across this verse, "March forth, light and heavy" [Tawbah 41], he said, "I see that our Lord will gather us, the elderly and the young. Prepare me, O my sons." His sons said, "May Allah have mercy on you, you fought alongside the Messenger of Allah until he passed away, then with Abu Bakr until he passed away, and then with Umar. We will fight on your behalf." However, he refused. So they prepared him, and he embarked on the sea and passed away. They could not find an island to bury him on until after seven days, and he did not decompose. So they buried him there.  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَرَاءَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا} [التوبة 41] قَالَ أَرَى رَبَّنَا ﷻ سَيَسْتَنْفِرُنَا شُيُوخًا وَشُبَّانًا جَهِّزُونِي أَيْ بَنِيَّ فَقَالَ بَنُوهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ قَدْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَنَحْنُ نَغْزُو عَنْكَ فَأَبَى فَجَهَّزُوهُ فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ جَزِيرَةً يَدْفِنُوهُ فِيهَا إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِيهَا
