شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin, drawn from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَرَوْنَ الصَّحَابَةَ قَلِيلِينَ، وَالصَّحَابَةُ يَرَوْنَهُمْ قَلِيلِينَ؛ حَتَّى يَنْشَطَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ لِمُقَابَلَةِ الْآخَرِ، فَالْتَقَوْا وَحَدَثَتْ مَعْرَكَةٌ، وَقُتِلَ مِن أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ سَبْعُونَ وَأُسِرَ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا، وَمِنْهُمْ صَنَادِيدُ قُرَيْشٍ وَزُعَمَاؤُهُمُ الْكِبَارُ الْعُظَمَاءُ، وَمِنْهُمُ السَّبْعَةُ أَوِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ الَّذِينَ أَلْقَوْا سَلَى الْجَزُورِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ تَحْتَ الْكَعْبَةِ فِي قِصَّةٍ مَشْهُورَةٍ، وَالَّتِي دَعَا فِيهَا الرَّسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِلًا: اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِفُلَانٍ وَفُلَانٍ وَعَدَّدَهُمْ، فَقُتِلُوا فِي بَدْرٍ.

Glory be to Allah. Each side saw the other as few in number, which only emboldened them to engage. They clashed, and a battle ensued. Seventy men from Makkah were killed and another seventy taken captive, including the great chieftains and leaders of Quraish. Among them were the seven or eight men who had thrown camel entrails upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, while he was prostrating beneath the Kaaba—a well-known incident. In that moment, the Messenger of Allah prayed against them: 'O Allah, deal with Quraish! O Allah, deal with Quraish! O Allah, deal with so-and-so and so-and-so,' naming them individually. All of them were later killed at Badr.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّسُولَ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الصَّنَادِيدِ الْكُبَرَاءِ وَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ مُنْتِنَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ؛ إِهَانَةً لَهُمْ، وَبَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْصُورًا مُظَفَّرًا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ عَادَتِهِ إِذَا قَاتَلَ قَوْمًا وَانْتَصَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَبْقَى ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ... إِلَى آخِرِ مَا هُوَ مَشْهُورٌ عَنْ تِلْكَ الْمَعْرَكَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

The Messenger, peace be upon him, then ordered that these great chieftains be cast into a foul, stinking well to humiliate them. He remained in that place, victorious and triumphant, for three days. It was his practice to stay for three days after defeating an enemy, as is well known regarding that momentous battle.
