حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ، قَالَ: "وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ"، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: زَادَ فِيهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ.

Narrated Ikrimah: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid bin Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.
