حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي عَامِرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ بَيْنَنَا بَعِيرٌ نَعْتَقِبُهُ قَالَ فَنَقِبَتْ أَقْدَامُنَا فَنَقِبَتْ قَدَمَايَ وَسَقَطَتْ أَظْفَارِي فَکُنَّا نَلُفُّ عَلَی أَرْجُلِنَا الْخِرَقَ فَسُمِّيَتْ غَزْوَةَ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ لِمَا کُنَّا نُعَصِّبُ عَلَی أَرْجُلِنَا مِنْ الْخِرَقِ قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ فَحَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَی بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ کَرِهَ ذَلِکَ قَالَ کَأَنَّهُ کَرِهَ أَنْ يَکُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ عَمَلِهِ أَفْشَاهُ قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَزَادَنِي غَيْرُ بُرَيْدٍ وَاللَّهُ يُجْزِي بِهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4699
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Musa (Ash'ari) who said: 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 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.
