English translation
6668. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: When Al-Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ] were defeated during the (first stage) of the battle of Uḥud, Satan shouted, “O Allāh’s slaves! Beware of what is behind you!” So the front files of the Muslims attacked their own rear files. Ḥudhaifa bin Al-Yamān looked and on seeing his father he shouted, “My father! My father!” By Allāh! The people did not stop till they killed his father. Ḥudhaifa then said, “May Allāh forgive you.” ‘Urwa (the subnarrator) added, “Ḥudhaifa continued asking Allāh’s forgiveness for the killers of his father till he met Allāh (till he died).”
