English translation

2647. It was reported from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā who narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar narrated to him that he was in an expedition with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the people turned to flee, and I was among those who fled. After we were safe, we said: "What should we do, for we fled the battlefield and we deserve Allāh's anger!?" We said: "Let us enter Al-Madīnah and stay there, and then go while no one sees us." Then we entered and said to ourselves: "If we present ourselves to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and if there is a possibility of repentance for us, we will stay (in Al-Madīnah), and if it is something else we will go away." We sat down waiting for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ before the Fajr prayer. When he came out, we stood up and said to him: "We are those that fled." He turned to us, and said. "Rather you are Al-Akkārūn (those who are regrouping) and I am your reinforcement." (Da'if)

2647 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ مِنْ سَرَايَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَحَاصَ النَّاسُ حَيْصَةً، فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ حَاصَ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا بَرَزْنَا قُلْنَا: كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ وَقَدْ فَرَرْنَا مِنَ الزَّحْفِ وَبُؤْنَا بِالْغَضَبِ؟ فَقُلْنَا: نَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَتَثَبَّتُ فِيهَا وَنَذْهَبُ وَلَا يَرَانَا أَحَدٌ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلْنَا فَقُلْنَا: لَوْ عَرَضْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَنَا تَوْبَةٌ أَقَمْنَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبْنَا. قَالَ: فَجَلَسْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا: نَحْنُ الْفَرَّارُونَ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: «لَا. بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْعَكَّارُونَ». قَالَ: فَدَنَوْنَا فَقَبَّلْنَا يَدَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّا فِئَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»
