Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1165

حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمْرِو، قَالَ: لَمَّا حَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الطَّائِفَ فَلَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَقَالُوا: نَذْهَبُ وَلَا نَفْتَحُهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً، نَقْفُلُ فَقَالَ: اغْدُوا عَلَى الْقِتَالِ فَغَدَوْا، فَأَصَابَهُمْ جِرَاحٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا قَافِلُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَأَعْجَبَهُمْ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr Narrated from:

When Allâh's Messenger ﷺ besieged Tâ'if and could not conquer its people, he said, "We will return (to Al-Madîna) if Allâh will." That distressed the companions (of the Prophet ﷺ) and they said, "Shall we go away without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Tâ'if)?" Once the Prophet ﷺ said, "Let us return." Then the Prophet ﷺ said (to them). "Fight tomorrow." They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "We will return (to Al-Madîna) tomorrow if Allâh will." That delighted them, Whereupon the Prophet ﷺ smiled. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 615, Vol. 5 )

[1] Fath Al-Bârî quoted that the narrator was 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar.
