حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ وَغَيْرُهُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ قُطِعَ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ بَعْثٌ فَاکْتُتِبْتُ فِيهِ فَلَقِيتُ عِکْرِمَةَ مَوْلَی ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَنَهَانِي عَنْ ذَلِکَ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ کَانُوا مَعَ الْمُشْرِکِينَ يُکَثِّرُونَ سَوَادَ الْمُشْرِکِينَ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِي السَّهْمُ فَيُرْمَی بِهِ فَيُصِيبُ أَحَدَهُمْ فَيَقْتُلُهُ أَوْ يُضْرَبُ فَيُقْتَلُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمْ الْمَلَائِکَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ الْآيَةَ رَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4598
Narrated Abu Huraira: While the Prophet was offering the `Isha' prayer, he said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him," and then said before falling in prostration, "O Allah, save `Aiyash bin Rabi`a. O Allah, save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Wahd. O Allah, save the weak ones among the believers. O Allah, let Your punishment be severe on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, inflict upon them years (of famine) like the years of Joseph."
