[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ in a battle that he fought until the Battle of Tabuk, which was like the Battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ did not blame anyone who did not participate in the Battle of Badr because he only intended to gather wealth. So the Quraysh went out to fight against his caravan, and they met unexpectedly, as Allah the Almighty said: "By My life, the most honorable scenes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the people are in Badr, and I do not wish that I had witnessed them in the place of my allegiance on the night of Al-Aqaba when we gathered for Islam."  

الطبراني:١٦٢٠١cحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ «لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا حَتَّى كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكٍ إِلَّا بَدْرًا وَلَمْ يَعْتِبِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحَدًا تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ يُرِيدُ الْعِيرَ ? فَخَرَجَتْ قُرَيْشٌ مُغَوِّثِينَ لِعِيرِهِمْ فَالْتَقَوْا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَوْعِدٍ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَلَعَمْرِي إِنَّ أَشْرَفَ مَشَاهِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّاسِ لَبَدْرٌ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنِّي كُنْتُ شَهِدْتُهَا مَكَانَ بَيْعَتِي لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حَيْثُ تَوَافَيْنَا عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ»
