English translation

[4639] 98 - (1787) Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamân said: Nothing prevented me from being present at (the battle of) Badr except the fact that Abû Husayl and I set out and were captured by the Kuffâr of Quraish. They said: Are you looking for Muḥammad? We said: We are not looking for him; we are only headed towards Al-Madīnah. They took a covenant from us in the Name of Allâh that we would carry on to Al-Madīnah and not fight alongside him. We went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷻ and told him about that, and he said: "Go back; we will fulfill the covenant made with them, and we will seek the help of Allâh against them."

Arabic text

98 - (1787) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي حُسَيْلٌ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَنَا كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالُوا: إِنَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ مُحَمَّدًا، فَقُلْنَا: مَا نُرِيدُهُ، مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا عَهْدَ اللهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ لَنَنْصَرِفَنَّ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ: «انْصَرِفَا، نَفِي لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ»
