حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ ذَكَرَ لَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَقَامَ بِالْعَرْصَةِ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ. تَابَعَهُ مُعَاذٌ وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Rahim narrated to us: Rawh ibn ʿUbada narrated to us: Saʿid narrated to us, from Qatada, who said: Anas ibn Malik told us, from Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (ﷺ), that whenever he prevailed over a people, he would stay in the open ground for three nights. Muʿadh and ʿAbd al-Aʿla corroborated it, from Saʿid, from Qatada, from Anas, from Abu Talha, from the Prophet (ﷺ).
Translation notes
The Arabic says “in the open ground” (al-ʿarsa), while the English witness paraphrases it as “in their town.”
