English translation

2043. Rabī'ah — meaning Ibn Al-Ḥudair said: "I never heard Ṭalḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh narrate anything from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ except for one Hadīth." He was asked what it was, so he narrated: "He (Ṭalḥah) said: 'We left with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, intending to go to the graves of the martyrs of (the battle of) Uḥud. We came to the Harrah of Wāqīm, and when we descended into it, we saw some graves on one of its slopes. So we said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, are these graves the graves of our brethren?' He replied: "(No, these are) graves of our Companions.' Then, when we came to the graves of the martyrs, he said: 'These are the graves of our brethren.'" (Ṣaḥīh)

2043 - حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْنٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهُدَيْرِ، قَالَ: مَا سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَ حَدِيثٍ وَاحِدٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرِيدُ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى حَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ فَلَمَّا تَدَلَّيْنَا مِنْهَا، وَإِذَا قُبُورٌ بِمَحْنِيَّةٍ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَقُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ: «قُبُورُ أَصْحَابِنَا» فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ، قَالَ: «هَذِهِ قُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا»
