حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَنَائِمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالْجِعِرَّانَةِ ازْدَحَمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَضَرَبُوهُ وَشَجُّوهُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ وَيَقُولُ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ يَحْكِي الرَّجُلَ وَيَقُولُ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4366
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) shared out the flocks of Hunain at al-Ji'ranah, they crowded around him and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Allah sent one of His slaves to his people and they struck him and wounded him in the head. And he started wiping the blood from his forehead and saying: Lord forgive my people, they do not know." 'Abdullah said: It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) showing how that man wiped the blood from his forehead and said: Lord forgive my people, for they do not know.
