4262. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ The Prophet ﷺ had informed the people of the martyrdom of Zaid, Ja‘far and Ibn Rawāḥa before the news of their death reached. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and was martyred, then Ja‘far took it and was martyred and then Ibn Rawāḥa took it and was martyred.” At that time the Prophet’s eyes were overflowing with tears. He added, “Then the flag was taken by a sword amongst the swords of Allāh (i.e., Khālid) and Allāh made them (i.e., the Muslims) victorious.”

Arabic text

4262 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَى زَيْدًا، وَجَعْفَرًا، وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ خَبَرُهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ» وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ: «حَتَّى أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ، حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ»
