حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الصَّفَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفُتِحَ لَهُ ـ وَقَالَ ـ مَا يَسُرُّنَا أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا ". قَالَ أَيُّوبُ أَوْ قَالَ " مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا ". وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ.
Yusuf ibn Yaʿqub al-Saffar narrated to us; Ismaʿil ibn ʿUlayya narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet delivered a sermon and said, “Zayd took the banner and was struck down; then Jaʿfar took it and was struck down; then ʿAbd Allah ibn Rawaha took it and was struck down. Then Khalid ibn al-Walid took it without having been appointed, and victory was granted to him.” He then said, “It would not please us if they were with us.” Ayyub said: Or he said, “It would not please them to be with us.” His eyes were shedding tears.
Translation notes
The final sentence has two transmitted perspectives: “us” would not want them with us, or the fallen would not want to be with us.
