3063. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ delivered a Khutba (religious talk) and said, "Zaid took the flag and was martyred, then Ja'far took it and was martyred, then 'Abdullāh bin Rawāḥa took it and was martyred, and then Khālid bin Al-Walīd took it without being appointed, and Allāh gave him victory." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I am not pleased (or said, 'They will not be pleased') that they should remain (alive) with us," while his eyes were overflowing with tears. (See H. 1246)

3063 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ عَنْ غَيْرِ إِمْرَةٍ فَفُتِحَ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَا يَسُرُّنِي، أَوْ قَالَ: مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ، أَنَّهُمْ عِنْدَنَا "، وَقَالَ وَإِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ لَتَذْرِفَانِ
