Chapter 34 · The Book Of Jihad And Expeditionsالْوَفَاءِ بِالْعَهْدِ
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي حُسَيْلٌ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَنَا كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالُوا: إِنَّكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ مُحَمَّدًا، فَقُلْنَا: مَا نُرِيدُهُ، مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا عَهْدَ اللهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ لَنَنْصَرِفَنَّ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ: «انْصَرِفَا، نَفِي لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Upholding Covenants
Nothing prevented me from being present at! he Battle of Badr except this incident. I came out with my father Husail (to participate in the Battle), but we were caught by the disbelievers of Quraish. They said: (Do) you intend to go to Muhammad? We said: We do not intend to go to him, but we wish to go (back) to Medina. So they took from us a covenant in the name of God that we would turn back to Medina and would not fight on the side of Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). So, we came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and related the incident to him. He said: Both, of you proceed (to Medina); we will fulfil the covenant made with them and seek God's help against them.
