Hadith #221
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَن أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَن الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الرُّمَاةِ وَكَانُوا خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَقَالَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ الْعَدُوَّ وَرَأَيْتُمْ الطّ
َيْرَ تَخْطَفُنَا فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا الْغَنَائِمَ قَالُوا عَلَيْكُمْ الْغَنَائِمَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَبْرَحُوا قَالَ غَيْرُهُ فَنَزَلَتْ { وَعَصَيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُمْ مَا تُحِبُّونَ } يَقُولُ عَصَيْتُمْ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُمْ الْغَنَائِمَ وَهَزِيمَةَ الْعَدُوِّ

English Translation
Yaḥyā ibn Ādam narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed ʿAbdullāh ibn Jubayr over the archers — they were fifty men — on the day of Uḥud, and said: "Even if you see birds snatching us, do not leave your position." When they saw the spoils, they said: "Go for the spoils!" ʿAbdullāh said: "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not tell you: Do not leave your position?" Others said: So the verse was revealed: "And you disobeyed after He showed you what you love" [Āl ʿImrān 3:152] — meaning you disobeyed the Messenger after He showed you the spoils and the defeat of the enemy.
