Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4472

This hadith is a brief report from Al-Bara. He says that he fought fifteen Ghazawat in the company of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The wording is simple and should be kept simple. It is not giving a full list of battles, names, dates, or details. It only reports Al-Bara’s own participation with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. A search for Al-Bara fifteen Ghazawat hadith points to this type of concise historical narration. The core topic is Ghazawat participation. The benefit of the hadith is that it preserves a companion’s statement about his direct involvement with Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in military expeditions, without adding details not present in the text.

What we learn from this hadith

  • Al-Bara reported his own participation in fifteen Ghazawat.
  • The hadith links that participation with the company of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
  • The narration gives a count, not a detailed battle list.
