حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ

وَكَانَ كَاتِبًا لَهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى رضى الله عنهما فَقَرَأْتُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَيَّامِهِ الَّتِي لَقِيَ فِيهَا انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ. ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ قَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، لَا تَتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ، وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ وَهَازِمَ الأَحْزَابِ، اهْزِمْهُمْ وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ»

The freed slave of Umar ibn Ubaidullah who was Umar’s clerk: Abdullah ibn Abi Aufa wrote him (i.e. Umar) a letter that contained the following: “Once the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (during a holy battle), waited till the sun had declined and then he got up among the people and said, ‘O people! Do not wish to face the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allah to save you (from calamities) but if you should face the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords.’

He then said, ‘O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them infidels and bestow victory upon us.’”

অতঃপর তিনি তাঁর সাহাবীদের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে ঘোষণা দিলেনঃ হে লোক সকল! শত্রুর সঙ্গে মোকাবেলায় অবতীর্ণ হবার কামনা করবে না এবং আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলার নিকট নিরাপত্তার দু‘আ করবে। অতঃপর যখন তোমরা শত্রুর সম্মুখীন হবে তখন তোমরা ধৈর্যধারণ করবে। জেনে রাখবে, জান্নাত তরবারীর ছায়ার নীচে অবস্থিত। অতঃপর আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম দু‘আ করলেন, হে আল্লাহ্!

কুরআন নাযিলকারী, মেঘমালা পরিচালনাকারী, সেনাদল পরাভূতকারী, আপনি কাফির সম্প্রদায়কে পরাজিত করুন এবং আমাদেরকে তাদের উপর বিজয় দান করুন। (২৮১৮)

Telah bercerita kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Muhammad] telah bercerita kepada kami [Mu'awiyah bin 'Amru] telah bercerita kepada kami [Abu Ishaq] dari [Musa bin 'Uqbah] dari [Salim Abu An-Nadhar], mantan budak (yang telah dimerdekakan oleh) 'Umar bin 'Ubaidillah, dia adalah seorang juru tulisnya berkata; ['Abdullah bin Abi Aufaa] radliallahu 'anhuma menulis surat kepadanya lalu aku bacakan bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pada hari-hari berhadapan dengan musuh Beliau menanti hingga terbenamnya matahari kemudian berdiri berkhothbah di hadapan manusia seraya berkata: "Wahai sekalian manusia, janganlah kalianmengharapkan bertemu dengan musuh tapi mintalah kepada Allah keselamatan.

Dan bila kalian telah berjumpa dengan musuh bershabarlah dan ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya surga itu terletak di bawah naungan pedang-pedang". Kemudian Beliau berdoa: "Ya Allah Yang Menurunkan Kitab, Yang Menjalankan awan, hancurkanlah pasukan sekutu, binasakanlah mereka dan tolonglah kami menghadapi mereka

Ömer İbn Ubeydullah'ın kölesi ve katibi olan Salim Ebu'n-Nadr şöyle demiştir: "Abdullah İbn Ebi Evfa'nın Ömer İbn Ubeydullah'a yazdığı bir mektup gelmişti, onu Ömer'e okudum. Şöyle yazıyordu: Resul-i Ekrem Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem düşmanla karşı karşıya geldiği bir savaşta güneş tepe noktasından batıya doğru meyledene kadar beklerdi.

[-2966-] Sonra Hz. Nebi ayağa kalkıp ashabı arasında durarak: "Ey insanlar, düşmanla savaşmak için karşı karşıya gelmeyi arzulamayın. Allah'tan hep afiyet isteyin. Fakat savaşmak üzere düşman ile karşı karşıya geldiğinizde kararlı ve dirençli olup sabredin. Şunu iyi bilin ki cennet kılıçların gölgeleri altındadır" buyurdu ve şöyle dua etti: "Ey Kitab'ı indiren, bulutları istediği yöne çeviren ve düşman birliklerini dağıtıp perişan eden Allahım, şu düşmanımızı perişan et / hezimete uğrat, bize onlara karşı yardım eyle / zafer nasip et!':

What it means

The Companion ‘Abdullāh ibn Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) informs in this Hadīth that when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessing be upon him) met the enemy one day, he waited and did not begin the fighting except after the sun had declined, after which he stood up among them to deliver a speech, something which is usually done after prayer.

He prohibited them from wishing to meet the enemy, given the self-conceit involved in this desire, and instructed them to ask Allah, the Almighty, for safety. Thereafter, he said: “And if you meet them, have patience.” In other words, if Allah wills this to happen and you are tested with meeting the enemy, show patience and do not panic; and know that you will get one of two good things: either Allah will help you against your enemy and make you victorious over them, and thus you will win both the victory in the worldly life and the reward in the Hereafter;

or you will be defeated after you have tried your best in Jihad, and you will thus have the reward in the Hereafter. “And know that Paradise lies under the shadows of swords”, meaning: Jihad leads to Paradise. Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) invoked his Lord by His Shariah and perfect power to grant the Muslims victory over their enemies. And success can only be attained through Allah, the Almighty.
