Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Maghrāʾ, on the authority of Saʿīd ibn al-Marzubān, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the Day of Uḥud, “O Allah, answer Saʿd,” three times. (1)

Ibn Wahb narrated: Abū Ṣakhr related to me, from Yazīd ibn Qusayṭ, from Isḥāq ibn Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ, who said that my father told me:
ʿAbdullāh ibn Jaḥsh said on the Day of Uḥud, “Shall we not withdraw and call upon Allah, Exalted is He?”
They moved to one side, whereupon Saʿd supplicated:
“My Lord! When we meet the enemy tomorrow, let me confront a man strong in might, fierce in assault. I will fight him and he will fight me; then grant me victory over him so that I may kill him and take his spoils.” ʿAbdullāh said āmīn.
Then ʿAbdullāh prayed, “O Allah, grant me tomorrow a man strong in might, fierce in assault. I will fight him and he will fight me; then he will overcome me and cut off my nose and ears. When I meet You tomorrow and You ask, ‘O ʿAbdullāh, why were your nose and ears severed?’ I will reply, ‘For Your sake and for Your Messenger’s.’ You will say, ‘You have spoken the truth.’ ”
Saʿd remarked, “His supplication was better than mine. I saw him at the close of the day with his nose and ears hanging by a thread.” (2)

Abū ʿAwānah and others narrated: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr related to us, from Jābir ibn Samurah, who said:

(1) Its isnad is weak because both Abd al-Rahman ibn Mughirah and his shaykh are unreliable. It is listed in Kanz al-Ummal, no. 37110, where it is attributed to Ibn Abi Shaybah, but that version does not contain the phrase “three times.” (2) Its isnad includes a narrator who is unknown. Ibn Saad also reported it (3/1/63) through two routes: Hammad ibn Salamah – Ali ibn Zayd – Said ibn al-Musayyab – a man who heard Abd Allah ibn Jahsh, with similar content; and Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Hamjid al-Hanafi – Kathir ibn Zayd – al-Muttalib ibn Abd Allah ibn Hantab, with an additional detail. Al-Hakim transmitted it (3/199–200) via Sufyan ibn Uyaynah – Yahya ibn Said – Said ibn al-Musayyab, who said that Abd Allah ibn Jahsh said the same, and ruled the hadith sound according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs were it not for its being mursal (the Companion’s link is missing). Al-Dhahabi concurred, deeming it “sound but mursal.”

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ مَغْرَاءَ: عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بنِ المَرْزُبَانِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ: (اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَجِبْ لِسَعْدٍ) ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ (١) . ابْنُ وَهْبٍ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيْدَ بنِ قُسَيْطٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بنِ سَعْدِ بنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي: أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بنَ جَحْشٍ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ: أَلاَ تَأْتِي نَدْعُو اللهَ -تَعَالَى-؟ فَخَلَوْا فِي نَاحِيَةٍ، فَدَعَا سَعْدٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبّ! إِذَا لَقِيْنَا العَدُوَّ غَداً، فَلَقِّنِي رَجُلاً شَدِيْداً بَأْسُهُ، شَدِيْداً حَرَدُهُ، أَقَاتِلُهُ وَيُقَاتِلُنِي، ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي الظَّفَرَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَقْتُلَهُ، وَآخُذَ سَلَبَهُ، فَأَمَّنَ عَبْدَ اللهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي غَداً رَجُلاً شَدِيْداً بَأْسُهُ، شَدِيْداً حَرَدُهُ، فَأُقَاتِلُهُ وَيقَاتِلُنِي، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُنِي فَيَجْدَعُ أَنْفِي وَأُذُنِي، فَإِذَا لَقِيْتُكَ غَداً قُلْتَ لِي: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ! فِيْمَ جُدِعَ أَنْفُكَ وَأُذُنَاكَ؟ فَأَقُوْلُ: فِيْكَ وَفِي رَسُوْلِكَ. فَتَقُوْلُ: صَدَقْتُ. قَالَ سَعْدٌ: كَانَتْ دَعْوَتُهُ خَيْراً مِنْ دَعْوَتِي، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ، وَإِنَّ أَنْفَهُ وَأُذُنَهُ لَمُعَلَّقٌ فِي خَيْطٍ (٢) . أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ المَلِكِ بنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ:

(١) إسناده ضعيف لضعف عبد الرحمن بن مغراء وشيخه. وذكره صاحب الكنز برقم (٣٧١١٠) ونسبه إلى ابن أبي شيبة. وليس فيه " ثلاث مرات ". (٢) في إسناده من لا يعرف. وأخرجه ابن سعد ٣ / ١ / ٦٣ من طريق حماد بن سلمة، عن علي بن زيد، عن سعيد بن المسيب، عن رجل سمع عبد الله بن جحش ... بنحوه، ومن طريق: عبد الله بن عبد الحمجيد الحنفي، عن كثير بن زيد، عن المطلب بن عبد الله بن حنطب بنحوه مع زيادة. وأخرجه الحاكم ٣ / ١٩٩ - ٢٠٠ من طريق سفيان بن عيينة، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن سعيد بن المسيب، قال: قال عبد الله بن جحش ... بنحوه، وقال الحاكم: حديث صحيح على شرطهما لولا إرساله. وقال الذهبي: صحيح مرسل.
