[Machine] The messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Prepare yourselves for this oppressive village, its people, I mean Khaybar, for surely Allah will grant it to you if He wills, and no one weak or in debt shall go with me." So Abu Hurairah went to his mother and said: "Prepare me, for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , has commanded us to prepare for war." She said: "Go, but leave me behind, for I know that I cannot enter the battlefield without you." He said: "I would not be left behind by the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." So she uncovered her breasts and reminded him of the milk she had nursed him with. She went secretly and told the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he said: "Go, for you have fulfilled your obligation." Abu Hurairah approached him, but the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , turned away from him. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I sense that you are avoiding me, and I do not see any reason for that except for something that has been conveyed to you." He replied: "It is you who has been implored by your mother, and she uncovered her breasts to implore you with the milk that she had nursed you with, why did you not fulfill the duty towards your parents?" He said: "Indeed, I stayed for two years without participating in 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»
