English translation

3563. It was narrated from 'Abdul-'Azīz bin Rufaī' from some of the family of 'Abdullāh bin Šafwān, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O Šafwān, do you have any weapons?" He said: "Is it a loan or by force?" He said: "No, it is a loan." He lent him between thirty and forty coats of mail, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went on to engage in the Battle of Hunain. When the idolaters had been defeated, Šafwān's coats of mail were collected, and some had been lost. The Prophet ﷺ said to Šafwān: "We have lost some of your coats of mail. Should we pay you compensation?" He said: "No, O Messenger of Allāh, for there is, in my heart today, that which was not present on that day." (Da'if) Abū Dāwud said: He lent them to him before he became Muslim, then he became Muslim.

3563 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ أُنَاسٍ، مِنْ آلِ عَبدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَا صَفْوَانُ، هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ سِلَاحٍ؟»، قَالَ: عَوَرً أَمْ غَصْبًا، قَالَ: «لَا، بَلْ عَوَرً» فَأَعَارَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الثَّلَاثِينَ إِلَى الْأَرْبَعِينَ دِرْعًا، وَغَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُنَيْنًا، فَلَمَّا هُزِمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ جُمِعَتْ دُرُوعُ صَفْوَانَ فَفَقَدَ مِنْهَا أَدْرَاعًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصَفْوَانَ: «إِنَّا قَدْ فَقَدْنَا مِنْ أَدْرَاعِكَ أَدْرَاعًا، فَهَلْ نَغْرَمُ لَكَ؟» قَالَ: لَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لِأَنَّ فِي قَلْبِي الْيَوْمَ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَكَانَ أَعَارَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ، ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ»،
