Sa`d bin Mu`adh said,<br />

"<strong>It</strong> looks like you mean us, O Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah!<br />

By He Who has sent you with the Truth! If you<br />

seek <strong>to</strong> cross this sea and went in it, we will<br />

follow you and none among us will remain behind.<br />

We would not hate for you <strong>to</strong> lead us <strong>to</strong> meet our<br />

enemy <strong>to</strong>morrow. We are patient in war, vicious<br />

in battle. May <strong>Al</strong>lah allow you <strong>to</strong> witness from our<br />

efforts what comforts your eyes. <strong>The</strong>refore,<br />

march forward with the blessing <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah.''<br />

<strong>The</strong> Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah <strong>was</strong> pleased with the<br />

words <strong>of</strong> Sa`d and <strong>was</strong> encouraged <strong>to</strong> march on.<br />

Abu Bakr bin Marduwyah recorded that Anas said that;<br />

when the Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah went <strong>to</strong> Badr, he<br />

asked the Muslims for their opinion, and Umar<br />

gave his.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Prophet again asked the Muslims for their<br />

opinion and the Ansar said, "O Ansar! <strong>It</strong> is you<br />

whom the Prophet wants <strong>to</strong> hear.''<br />

<strong>The</strong>y said, "We will never say as the Children <strong>of</strong><br />

فَاذْهَبْ‏ أَنتَ‏ وَرَب ُّكَ‏ فَقَاتِلا إِن َّا هَاهُنَا Musa, Israel said <strong>to</strong><br />

(So go, you and your Lord, and fight you قَاعِدُونَ‏<br />

two, we are sitting right here).<br />

By He Who has sent you with the Truth! If you<br />

<strong>to</strong>ok the camels <strong>to</strong> Bark <strong>Al</strong>-Ghimad (near Makkah)<br />

we shall follow you.''<br />

Imam Ahmad, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban also<br />

recorded this Hadith.<br />

In the Book <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>-Maghazi and At-Tafsir, <strong>Al</strong>-Bukhari<br />

recorded that Abdullah bin Mas`ud said,<br />

"On the day <strong>of</strong> Badr, <strong>Al</strong>-Miqdad said, `O<br />

Messenger <strong>of</strong> <strong>Al</strong>lah! We will never say <strong>to</strong> you what<br />

فَاذْهَبْ‏ أَنتَ‏ وَرَب ُّكَ‏ Musa, the Children <strong>of</strong> Israel said <strong>to</strong><br />

(So go, you and your Lord, and فَقَاتِلا إِن َّا هَاهُنَا قَاعِدُونَ‏<br />

fight you two, we are sitting right here).<br />
