[4915] 145 - (1901) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent Busaisah as a scout to see what had happened to the caravan of Abû Sufyân. Then he came, and there was no one in the house except myself and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ." - He (one of the narrators) said: "I do not know if he mentioned one of his wives too" - "He told him the news, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out and spoke to the people. He said: 'We have something to pursue. Whoever has his mount ready, let him ride with us.' Some men started to ask him for permission to go and bring their mounts from the high
ground of Al-Madinah, and he said: 'No, only those whose mounts are ready.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his Companions set out, and they reached Badr before the idolaters.
"The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'None of you should go ahead to do anything unless I am ahead of him.' The idolaters drew close and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Get up to Paradise, as wide as the heavens and the earth.' 'Umayr bin Al-Ḥumām Al-Anṣārī said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Good, good.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'What makes you say: "Good, good?"' He said: 'Nothing, O Messenger of Allāh, except the hope that I will be one of its people.' He said: 'You will be one of its people.' He took some dates out of his bag and started eating them, then he said: 'If I live until I finish eating these dates of mine, that will be a long life.' So he threw aside the dates he had, then he fought them until he was killed."
