هُرَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعٍ

[Machine] I came with Al-Khattami to the Prophet ﷺ while he was intending to leave for the Battle of Badr. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out with you." He would clench his hand and say, "I consider you insignificant and I do not know how you will behave when you meet the enemy." I said, "Do you know that I can throw arrows?" So, he admitted me and I did not witness the Battle of Badr.  

جِئْتُ أَنَا وِالْخَطْمِيُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ بَدْرًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَكَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُ يَدَهُ وَيَقُولُ «إِنِّي أَسْتَصْغِرُكَ وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُ إِذَا لَقِيتَ الْقَوْمَ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَتَعْلَمُ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ مَنْ رَمَى؟ فَرَدَّنِي فَلَمْ أَشْهَدْ بَدْرًا
