1415 - غَزوَةُ اُحُدٍ

1415. THE BATTLE OF UHUD

(وَإِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقاعِدَ لِلْقِتالِ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ) .¹

“When you left your family at dawn to settle the faithful in their positions for battle – and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.”²

4767.ابن مسعود : إنَّ النِّساءَ كُنَّ يومَ اُحُدٍ خَلفَ المسلمينَ يُجهِزْنَ عَلَى جَرحَى المشركينَ ... فجاءَ أبو سُفيانَ فقالَ : أعلُ هُبَلُ ! فقالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : قولوا : اللَّهُ أعلى‏ وأجَلُّ ، فقالوا : اللَّهُ أعلى‏ وأجَلُّ ، فقالَ أبو سفيانَ : لنا³ العُزّى‏ ولا عُزّى‏ لَكُم ! فقالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : قُولُوا : اللهم مولانا و الكافرون لا مولى لهم‏⁴ . ⁵

4767. Ibn Masud narrated: Verily on the day of the battle of Uhud, your women were behind the Muslims delivering the last strokes to the wounded from among the polytheists … when Abu Sufyan came and said, ‘I esteem Hubal!’ So the Prophet (SAWA) told [the Muslims] to say, ‘Allah is the Most Sublime and The Most Exalted’, so they said, ‘Allah is the Most Sublime and the Most Exalted!’ Then Abu Sufyan said, ‘We have Uzza⁶ on our side and you do not!’ So the Prophet told them to say, ‘Allah is our Guardian and the disbelievers have no guardian.’⁷

4768.أنس : إنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله كُسِرَت رَباعِيَتُهُ يومَ اُحُدٍ ، وشُجَّ في رَأسِهِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَسلُتُ الدَّمَ عَنهُ ويقولُ : كيفَ يُفلِحُ قومٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُم وكَسَرُوا رَباعِيَتَهُ، وهُو يَدعُوهم إلَى اللَّهِ ؟ ! فَأنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ : (لَيسَ لَكَ مِن الأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَلِمُونَ )⁸ . ⁹

4768. Anas narrated: ‘Verily on the day of the battle of Uhud, the Prophet (SAWA)’s incisors were broken and his head was wounded, so while taking out the blood from it, he said, ‘How will a people who wounded their prophet and broke his teeth ever succeed, whilst he only calls them to Allah?!’ So Allah revealed the verse: “You have no hand in the matter.”¹⁰¹¹

4769.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لَمّا انجَلى‏ الناسُ عَن رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله يومَ اُحُدٍ نَظَرتُ فِي القَتلى‏ فلَم أرَ رسولَ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله ، فقلتُ : واللَّهِ ما كانَ لِيَفِرَّ وما أراهُ فِي القَتلى‏ ، ولكن أرَى اللَّهَ غَضِبَ علَينا بما صَنَعنا فَرَفَعَ نَبِيَّهُ ، فما فِيَّ خيرٌ مِن أن اُقاتِلَ حتّى‏ اُقتَلَ ، فَكَسَرتُ جَفنَ سَيفِي ، ثُمّ حَمَلتُ علَى القَومِ فَأفرَجُوا لي ، فإذا أنا برسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله بَينَهُم .¹²

4769.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘On the day of Uhud, when the number of people around the Prophet (SAWA) was diminishing, I looked at the dead and could not see the Prophet (SAWA) among them, so I said [to myself], ‘By Allah, he would never have run away, and I do not see him among the dead, but I can see Allah being angry with us for what we have done and has therefore taken His prophet away from us. I see nothing better for myself, therefore, than to fight until I am killed, so I broke the sheath of my sword and went to attack the people, and they cleared the way for me, when suddenly I came upon the Prophet (SAWA) right in their midst.’¹³

1414. THE BATTLE OF BADR

(وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَأَنْتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَّلَكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ * إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَنْ يَكْفِيَكُمْ أَنْ يُمِدَّكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُنْزَلِينَ) .¹

“Certainly Allah helped you at Badr, when you were abased [in the enemy’s eyes]. So be wary of Allah so that you may give thanks. When you were saying to the faithful, ‘Is it not enough for you that your Lord should aid you with three thousand angels sent down?”²

4764.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : سِيماءُ أصحابِ رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله يَومَ بَدرٍ الصُّوفُ الأبيضُ .³

4764.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The feature of the Prophet (SAWA)’s companions on the day of [the battle of] Badr was like white wool.’⁴

4765.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لقد رَأيتُنا يومَ بدرٍ ونحنُ نَلُوذُ برسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله وهُو أقرَبُنا إلَى العَدُوِّ ، وكانَ مِن أشَدِّ الناسِ يَومَئذٍ بَأساً .⁵

4765.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘I was indeed looking at us all in the battle of Badr while we all sought refuge with the Prophet (SAWA) when he was the closest one from among us to the enemy, and he was the bravest of people on that day.’⁶

4766.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لقد حَضَرنا بَدراً وما فِينا فارِسُ غيرَ المِقدادِ بنِ الأسوَدِ ، ولقد رَأيتُنا ليلةَ بَدرٍوما فِينا إلّامَن نامَ غيرَ رسولِ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله ، فإنّهُ كانَ مُنتَصِباً في‏أصلِ شَجَرةٍ يُصَلِّي ويَدعُو حتَّى الصَّباحِ .⁷

4766.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘When we came to Badr, the only horse rider among us was Miqdad b. Aswad. I had been watching us all on the eve of Badr, and all of us slept apart from the Prophet (SAWA). Verily he stood by the roots of a tree, praying and supplicating until morning.’⁸
