حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الرَّاسِبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ ا
لْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شُمَيْلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي طَرِيفٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ حَاصَرَ الطَّائِفَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا رَمَى لَرَأَى مَوْقِعَ نَبْلِهِ

English Translation
Azhar ibn al-Qasim al-Rasibi narrated to us, Zakariyya ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from al-Walid ibn 'Abdullah ibn Shumaylah, from Abu Tarif who said: 'I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he besieged al-Ta'if. He would pray with us two prayers combined. He said: "When the people of al-Ta'if see the army of Allah camped upon them, they will submit." But they did not come out, so he departed. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, we have not conquered. He said: "We shall attack them tomorrow, if Allah wills." The people were pleased. The next morning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "We are returning, if Allah wills." They were saddened. He ﷺ said: "Make the expedition, for it is better."'
