English translation

1677. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ positioned us during the night at Badr." (Ḍa'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There is something on this topic from Abū Ayyūb. This Ḥadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route. I asked Muḥammad bin Ismā'il about this Hadīth, but he did not know it, and he said: "Muḥammad bin Ishāq heard from 'Ikrimah." And when I saw him, he had a good opinion about Muḥammad bin Ḥumaid Ar-Rāzī, then he considered him weak later.

Arabic text

١٦٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ ‌عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ: «عَبَّأَنَا» النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَدْرٍ لَيْلًا وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ، وَقَالَ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعَ مِنْ عِكْرِمَةَ. وَحِينَ رَأَيْتُهُ كَانَ حَسَنَ الرَّأْيِ فِي مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيِّ، ثُمَّ ضَعَّفَهُ بَعْدُ.

Commentary

Although the narration as such is weak, yet there is no doubt that the right way to fight a war is to make proper preparations and arrangements, as well as through the lining up of the troops for it in proper time. Once the hostilities have started, there will be little or no time left for doing those things.
