Israʾil narrated—from Simak, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās—that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished attending to the slain, someone said to him, “The caravan is within your reach; nothing stands between you and it.” Al-ʿAbbās, who was still in fetters, called out, “That course is not fitting for you.” The Prophet asked, “Why not?” He replied, “Because Allah has promised you one of the two parties, and He has already fulfilled His promise to you.” This chain of transmission is sound; Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Shākir related it from Abū Nuʿaym on his authority.

Yūnus ibn Bukayr reported, on the authority of Ibn Isḥāq: Khubayb ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān told me that on the day of Badr Khubayb ibn ʿAdiyy was struck so that one side of his body collapsed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat upon the wound, treated it, and set it back, whereupon it closed up immediately.

Aḥmad ibn al-Azhar said: ʿAbd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān, from Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī, from Anas—or someone else—that ʿUmayr ibn Wahb al-Jumaḥī was present at Badr as an unbeliever and lay among the slain. A passer-by thrust his sword into ʿUmayr’s belly until the blade emerged from his back. When the night air cooled the wound, he withdrew to Mecca and recovered. Later he and Safwān ibn Umayyah met together, and ʿUmayr said, “Were it not for my dependents and my debt, I would be the one to kill Muhammad.” Safwān asked, “And how would you kill him?” He replied, “I am a man of dauntless heart and swift mount; I would strike him and then flee to the mountain, and no one would catch me.” Safwān said, “Your family is my family and your debt is on me.” So ʿUmayr sharpened and poisoned his sword and set out for Medina.

ʿUmar spotted him and said to the Companions, “Protect yourselves; I fear ʿUmayr, for he is a wily man, and I do not know what has brought him.” The Muslims gathered around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿUmayr came—his sword hanging from his neck—to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “A pleasant morning to you.” The Prophet asked, “What has brought you, O ʿUmayr?” He replied, “A need.” The Prophet said, “Then what is with the sword?” He answered, “We carried them on the day of Badr, yet they neither benefited us nor brought us success.” The Prophet said, “What was it you were saying to Safwān while you were seated in the Hijr?” He then recounted the whole affair to him. ʿUmayr said, “You used to tell us news from Heaven and we would deny you,
