[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Prepare yourselves for this unjust village, meaning Khaybar, for Allah will open it for you if He wills, and I will not leave weak or disabled people with me." So Abu Hurairah went to his mother and said, "Prepare me, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered us to prepare for battle." She replied, "You go and leave me behind, knowing that I never enter a conflict unless you are with me." He said, "I would not neglect the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So she uncovered her chest and reminded him of her breastfeeding, and she secretly went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, "Go, for you have fulfilled your duty." Abu Hurairah went to him, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him. Abu Hurairah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I see that you are turning away from me, and I see no reason for that except something that has reached you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It was you whom your mother was appealing to, and she uncovered her chest and reminded you of her breastfeeding. Have you not considered that if any of you were with his parents or one of them, and they were not in the way of Allah, but he was, then he would fulfill their rights?" Abu Hurairah said, "After that, I stayed for two years without participating in any battles until she passed away."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَجَهَّزُوا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا يَعْنِي خَيْبَرَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ فَاتِحُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مَعِي ضَعِيفٌ وَلَا مُضَعَّفٌ» فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ فَقَالَ جَهِّزِينِي فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَنَا بِالْجَهَازِ لِلْغَزْوِ فَقَالَتْ تَنْطَلِقُ وَتَتْرُكُنُي وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنِّي مَا أَدْخُلُ الْمِرْفَقَ إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ مَعِي فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجَتْ ثَدْيَهَا فَنَاشَدَتْهُ بِمَا رَضِعَ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سِرًّا فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقِي فَقَدْ كُفِيتِ» فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ أَرَى إِعْرَاضَكَ عَنِّي لَا أَرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا لِشَيْءٍ بَلَغَكَ قَالَ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تُنَاشِدُكَ أُمُّكَ وَأَخْرَجَتْ ثَدْيَهَا تُنَاشِدُكَ بِمَا رَضَعْتَ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ أَيَحْسَبُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ أَبَوَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدِهُمَا أَنْ لَيْسَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ بَلَى هُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِذَا بَرَّهُمَا وَأَدَّى حَقَّهُمَا» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «لَقَدْ مَكَثْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سَنَتَيْنِ مَا أَغْزُو حَتَّى مَاتَتْ»
