وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ، قَالَا جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: «غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً، قَاتَلَ فِي ثَمَانٍ مِنْهُنَّ»، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مِنْهُنَّ، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) conducted nineteen military campaigns and he (actually) fought in eight of them.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Buraida (who heard the tradition from his father)

وحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً.

He joined the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) in sixteen military campaigns.

— It has been narrated by Buraida who heard it from his father

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ: «غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ، وَخَرَجْتُ فِيمَا يَبْعَثُ مِنَ الْبُعُوثِ تِسْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ، مَرَّةً عَلَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَمَرَّةً عَلَيْنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ.

I joined seven military expeditions led by the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) himself, and nine expeditions which he sent out once under Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ and once under Usama bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Salama who said

وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي كِلْتَيْهِمَا: سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ.

According to this version both these types of expeditions were seven in number.

— Hatim narrated it with this chain a narration (a Hadith similar to no. 4697), except that he said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: «خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ»، قَالَ: «فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا، فَنَقِبَتْ قَدَمَايَ، وَسَقَطَتْ أَظْفَارِي، فَكُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ، فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا كُنَّا نُعَصِّبُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا مِنَ الْخِرَقِ»، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ فَحَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ثُمَّ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: كَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ، قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَزَادَنِي غَيْرُ بُرَيْدٍ وَاللهُ يُجْزِي بِهِ.

We set out on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). We were six in number and had (with us) only one camel which we rode turn by turn Our feet were injured. My feet were so badly injured that my nails dropped off. We covered our feet with rags. so this expedition was called Dhat-ur-Riqa' (i.e. the expedition of rags) because we bandaged our feet with rags (on that day). Abu Burda said: Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ narrated this tradition, and then disliked repeating it as he did not want to give any publicity to what he did in a noble cause Abu Usama said: Narrators other than Abu Buraida have added to the version of the words: God will reward it.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Musa (Ash'ari) رضی اللہ عنہ who said

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِبَلَ بَدْرٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِحَرَّةِ الْوَبَرَةِ أَدْرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ قَدْ كَانَ يُذْكَرُ مِنْهُ جُرْأَةٌ وَنَجْدَةٌ، فَفَرِحَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: جِئْتُ لِأَتَّبِعَكَ [ص:1450]، وَأُصِيبَ مَعَكَ، قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَارْجِعْ، فَلَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِمُشْرِكٍ»، قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالشَّجَرَةِ أَدْرَكَهُ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ، قَالَ: «فَارْجِعْ، فَلَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِمُشْرِكٍ»، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ كَمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ: «تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَانْطَلِقْ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) set out for Badr. When he reached Harrat-ul-Wabara (a place four miles from Medina) a man met him who was known for his valour and courage. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) were pleased to see him. He said: I have come so that I may follow you and get a share from the booty. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said to him: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? He said: No. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Go back, I will not seek help from a Mushrik (polytheist). He went on until we reached Shajara, where the man met him again. He asked him the same question again and the man gave him the same answer. He said: Go back. Im will not seek help from a Mushrik. The man returned and overtook him at Baida'? He asked him as he had asked previously: Do you believe in Allah and His Apostle? The man said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said to him: Then come along with us.

— It has been narrated on the authority of A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا , wife of the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), who said
